Subject: RE: BS: Bush, Iraq, and War: PART EIGHT
The fact, GUEST,Forum Lurker, is that we can't.

More and more I am convinced that the whole thing is for the purpose of buttressing up a shaky administration. It's also for the purpose of diverting everybody's attention to our "external enemy(s)" so the Bush administration can slip a lot of unpopular programs in under the radar while nobody's looking. Privatization of Social Security (turn it over to the mercies of Wall Street), attacks on Roe v. Wade (a woman's right to chose), reducing the powers of the SEC (in the aftermath of the Enron, etc. scandals!!), undercutting environmental laws (opening everything to for the exploitation of private corporations), and enough other stuff to just about turn your stomach!

Not to mention attempts to expand the power of the Executive Branch beyond what the Constitution permits, and the all-out assault on the Bill of Rights.

The biggest enemy is right here at home!
