"Why is this coming from the President's political adviser instead of State or Homeland security or even the President's spokesman?"

Because the big chiefs muckety muck at the Homeland do not have a financial interest in this debacle. They're selling our country out for a few dinars.

America wake up!

"Why is this coming from the President's political adviser instead of State or Homeland security or even the President's spokesman?" Because the Presidents advisor was a guest on Tony Snow's radio show today. This transcript / quote is off the Snow Show.

Sec. Rice has confirmed the vetting of the deal as has Sec. Rumsfeld, Joint Chief Chairman Pace and General Tommy Franks (who was also on the Snow Show today)

America is awake. And smart Americans are gathering facts and resisting a knee jerk reaction until information is known.
