I'm supposed to keep reading after that?
The fact that the 'terrorist alert flag' has not disappeared means that Bush faked out the nation that this was a war on 'terrorism'. Wars on end 'terrorism' don't create more terrorists.
This will go down as one of the Washington fakeroos like 'war on poverty' or 'war on drugs' as just election slogans only this fakeroo is still costing troops.
Bush was duped, big time, by the neo-con war fifth column cross-dressing as conservatives. The sad thing is the puffed up Bush in the fly-boy suit doesn't have the faintest that there was zilch conservative about this.
