>>If Bush was so interested in fighting terrorism and setting up sytems to ptotect the Amerrican people then why wasn't apparent after Katrina<<

And that was the end of his high approval ratings--that storm. His lack of response spoke volumes none of his supporters and believers ever wanted to hear. As the old saying goes--the silence was deafening.

The bottom line is that he was blowing smoke up our collective ass about watching over like this great benevolent sentinel/father. He did nothing in the wake of Katrina that surprised me at all. What did people really expect from a stupid stubborn fool who brags that he doesn't read the papers or watch TV news?? And who makes up his mind on the spot without bothering to hear the various sides of an issue? Or who uses "hopefuller" in an official speech?

We were buying his garble then but we should know better now but then again we should have learned something from Vietnam but that doesn't appear to be the case either.

He has to be forced to explain himself. We cannot just let him walk away from this and make a mockery of the very democracy he was always endlessly yacking about but never engaging in. I think we're owed a few answers--the world is.
