There is something wrong here. The threat and the reaction don't match. The greed and corruption that went into the Enron affair is a bigger threat to the United States than Osama bin Laden will ever be, and I would think most Americans, in their hearts, know it. ...


The threat and the reaction don't match? We face a threat that snuffed out 3,000+ lives at once, and which seeks to extract a greater toll of life from us in the future, including targeting nuclear power plants! That doesn't deserve a serious reaction? Enron's a bigger threat than terrorism?!? What a crock. I'd say terrorists getting their hands on nukes and detonating them inside an American city is a greater threat than people getting screwed over, financially. I'd say rogue nations like Iraq and North Korea developing weapons of mass destruction, and with a willingness to use them, is a greater threat than rogue accountants. This buffoon needs to get his priorities straight.

And most Americans, in their hearts, know it.


At least that's what he tells himself, so he won't feel as if he's the only one with the same ridiculous opinion.

And how is treating terrorists as if they're our greatest challenge a bad thing and giving them what they want? As it's been shown in Afghanistan, the LAST thing terrorists want is for us to turn our full attention towards them.

LOL. That's why Bush's approval ratings haven't dipped below 80% since September 11.
