Sorry, got that number wrong...

[RawAlex]

Well, there goes another one of Bush's campaign boasts out the window... seems that a report issues a couple of months back sayign terrorism was down in 2003 wasn't exactly right...

http://www.cnn.com/2004/US/06/10/powell.te...t.ap/index.html (http://www.cnn.com/2004/US/06/10/powell.terror.report.ap/index.html)

It's like keystone cops.

Yeah, and I used those numbers in an earlier thread.... :(

I guess, my saying should be: People and their numbers, I do not trust! :unsure:

With torture photos from Iraq, wrong reports, cia officials stepping down... one should think that someone from the inside is working against the president - just too many mistake in a short time, which seams incredible stupid for a system (not thinking of the politicians here, but the system)... maybe its payback from the CIA.... I see a Oliver Stone conspiracy script in the making :ph34r:

Rolo, I have mentioned before, I would love to do ao documentary on how the Bush family manages to have not one by TWO one term presidents. It is amazing to think about, the son learned nothing from the father, apparently. At least Jeb has managed to get two terms in Florida.

A better documentary would be about an amazing family dedicated to public service - you know two US presidents, a vice president, two governors, a congressman, a UN ambassador, a CIA director and one of the youngest pilots in US Navy history. Can you say dynasty?

BTW, "W" was elected to to two terms in Texas.

It is a great family record.. the question, "how" on earth did they manage it, does spring to mind pretty fast though.

When it comes to political families the question that always boggles my mind

How did Teddy K miss getting a bullet?

When I read the first report in the paper, I knew it had to be bullshit - it just goes against common sense.

I missed "senator". Old Prescott was a Senator.

We have the Kennedy and Bush political dynasties in recent American history. "How"? They won elections. People and states voted for them.

60 minutes tonight touched on the issue of the "skulls" secret society... both Bush and Kerry are members of a group that only gets 15 new members a year. Funny how that happens.

5 Bush appointees are also on that list, and his father is a member too.

How strange!

Public service? I do not call mooching off the taxpayers and regulating their lives in return "service." I call that being a parasite. Granted the elder Bush flew around 40 combat missions in WWII, so I can overlook some of his disasterous presidency, but let's not get caught up using the political class' own brainwashing rhetoric.

Colin, you should know better!

It's not as secret as the Citadel's "10" which Pat Conroy exposed in his novel The Lords of Discipline.
