The Bush Administration and the Congress have to stop ignoring this crisis in international trade. The longer we ignore it, the more American jobs will move overseas. It's just that simple.

A Bush Administration will, I believe, enjoy a better relationship with the new Congress, although President-elect Bush will be faced with real challenges in getting along with the Congress.

The Obama administration and the Democratic Congress have taken the biggest lurch to the left in policy in American history. There've been no - no Congress, no administration that has run this far to the left in such a small period of time. And there is a reaction to that.

Most Americans are more concerned about the economy and job creation. And they can't understand why the Obama administration or the Democrat majority in Congress wants to pass a bill like the cap-and-trade tax that will cost us jobs, that will hurt our economy, that will drive up costs for families, as well as for small businesses.

The longer we go without strong leadership from the Administration and until we see significant progress in the day-to-day lives of the Iraqi people, the more difficult it will become to sustain the support of the American people and Congress for the current course.

I wish it were simply a nightmare, but I think that any reasonable person watching American politics would come to the conclusion that a second Bush administration would in fact incorporate a more radicalized version of what we've seen in the first administration.

It's pretty clear that over the last three months the economy has paused. And it's also pretty clear the American people are still demanding and asking the question, 'Where are the jobs?' And the reason we don't have new jobs is because of the job-killing agenda pursued by President Obama and his allies in the Congress.

The Bush administration is the most diverse in history because the president fills jobs on the basis of a person's capabilities and qualifications, not on the color of his or her skin.

I believe that the American administration of Iraq has been arrogant, has pursued policies that are illegal in international law and has been ignorant and incompetent. I said this very forthrightly to the senators.
Unless things change radically, President Bush will be the first President since Herbert Hoover to have presided over a net loss of jobs during his administration.

approximately 8: 48 a.m.
morning September 11 2001
first pictures of burning
World Trade Center

reporters news anchors viewers
have had no advance warning
"What has happened in lower Manhattan?
"So who did know? "
"Which national organizations
were all in the know? "
Federal Aviation Administration (FAA)
North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD)
National Military Command Center
the Pentagon
the White House
the Secret Service
Canada's Strategic Command
all knew that four
American commercial airplanes
had been hijacked
and President George W. Bush knew
they all already knew
that one plane had been
flown deliberately
into the World Trade

that a second plane
was wildly off course
also heading toward
Manhattan that a third
plane had abruptly
turned around over Ohio
was flying back toward

another said Bush
"skedaddled"
both journalists were fired.
Bush administration
flexed muscle
finally fired back at
reporters reviewing inaction
no concise record
freedom of speech
investigation truth allowed

What are the facts revealed?
Facts? None of the hijackers
were Afghani from Afghanistan.
None had links to the Taliban.
None had links to Osama Bin Laden.
Facts? Alleged hijackers were all al-Qaeda.
All were Arabs from Arab countries.
None of these Arab countries were attacked?
Facts? 9/11 justified attacks on Iraq?
9/11 justified attacks on Afghanistan?
No hijackers originated in these countries?
Don't believe me? Check the flight lists.
American Airlines Flight 11
Hijackers: Mohamed Atta (Egyptian) , Waleed al-Shehri (Saudi Arabian) , Wail al-Shehri (Saudi Arabian) , Abdulaziz al-Omari (Saudi Arabian) , Satam al-Suqami (Saudi Arabian) .

Facts? A justified invasion of Afghanistan and Iraq,
is necessary based upon "geostrategic interests in the Mideast,
including pipeline plans launched in the early 1990s
by Unocal and other oil companies."
But president Bush has no links
to oil companies and US war production?
Or does he, no, surely not?
Justification invasions
needs Pearl Harbour scale attacks
Bush orders NORAD
To Stand Down.
