Is this "War on Terror" getting out of hand? It has been disclosed that Bush ordered wiretaps against US citizens without first getting warrants. Click here to read the NY Times article.
His comment that those who oppose him are putting the nation at risk is, in my view, are way out of line. How is breaking the law going to safeguard us when it's a violation of the very liberties he is supposed to be protecting? Arlen Specter, a PA Republican Senator, is conducting hearings next year to investigate possible illegal activity. Personally, I'm glad the renewal of the Patriot Act is stalled and people are starting to voice concerns over this whole "War on Terror." The total cost of the war now exceeds $220,000,000,000. That's about $700 for every citizen of the US? Do you feel that much safer after shelling out that much money? Here's a link to a site that keeps a running total of the cost. I think it's time to take a hard look at what we are willing to sacrafice in order to fight terror. |

QUOTE(illumineering @ Dec 17 2005, 9:36 PM) Hasn't it been time for that for a long while? Well, sure, he's out of control. But that's what a lot of people have been saying along. Finally, more are beginning to realize. But then why are his approval ratings going up?!? I saw that on the news the other day, that he went up like 10% or something. Sobsob. We're all screwed. So bad. |
