That is simply amazing. President Bush gets a wake up call, after 5 years, that he needs to speak to "we the people", and suddenly he is the the "HAMMER".
That's akin to Lieberman supporting the WOT and Conservatives thinking he should be given the keys to the kingdom.
I have never been more disgusted with Republicans and Bush for not standing up to McCain on this stupid torture amendment as well as killing the Patriot Act.
Well, I can't debate you there. Bush is late to the game in actually realizing that he has to, gulp, show some sack.
