What were they thinking??? Did Bush etal actually think no one would notice what they were up to???

Umm, unfortunately, though - it worked! Americans are mostly sheep that want to feel threatened, so the "leaders" in Washington can protect them. No one's seriously called them on this ruse, have they? Nothing I would like to see more than Bush and Cheney and their little dog Alberto hauled off in chains, but I'm afraid that's not going to happen any time soon.
