Default Evidence Bush frequently manipulated the "Terror Alert" level for political gain

Former head of the Department of Homeland Security, Tom Ridge, has a new book coming out soon. According to his book, when he was working for the Bush administration, he revealed the following:

"Ridge was never invited to sit in on National Security Council meetings; was "blindsided" by the FBI in morning Oval Office meetings because the agency withheld critical information from him; found his urgings to block Michael Brown from being named head of the emergency agency blamed for the Hurricane Katrina disaster ignored; and was pushed to raise the security alert on the eve of President Bush's re-election, something he saw as politically motivated and worth resigning over.

Wow . . . what a surprise!!! This is one of many reasons why I think this whole "terrorist threat" is bullshit and that all of the scanning they do at the airport is a waste of time.

Okay right-wingers. Your turn. Why was it okay for Bush to do this?

Who cares, Bush isn't even in office anymore.

Hell, the Democratic party flaunts Global Warming and tells old people that medicare will run out if national healthcare doesn't become a reality. How are those for scare tactics?

Spent the last how many years listening to this garbage? It is your turn to defend your fearless leader and his retarded actions up to this point.

Who knows if that is true. Who knows what Tom Ridge's motivations were here. I don't.

Lemme guess...you also believe that George Bush hates black people, George Bush secretly instituted the 9/11 terrorist attacks and the moon, which the cow jumped over, is made out of green cheese.

Ever stop to think that Ridges book is politically motivated? As you so famously point out, "the french do it" we'll say, "Clinton used the same scare tactics" in his nightmare as president.

If it's true, sure it's wrong, but you're being a hypocrite again in not pointing out the crap osama, pelosi, reid and the other socialists are pulling right now!

This proves without a doubt that all republicans are evil, as well as right wingers. There is no way that this should be taken as a negative action by a single man, or administration but rather we should blame an entire political party.Because you posted this, you hav shown everyone the light. good job. /sarcasm.

Honestly, it's a little late to be worried about what Bush years ago. I'm surprised you think air port security is a complete waste. Do you think Bush faked 9/11, and all those people didn't really die when terrorists crash planes into the buildings.

I guess you figured out our right wing plan. We had David fucking Copperfield make the buildings disappear. There really still there and all the people go to work there just like they did before 9/11.

Why would you ask right-wingers? Bush was more Liberal than Conservative. So asking "right-wingers" is pretty fucking dumb.

He is just taking the heat off of the Socialism that Obama and his radical friends are bringing down on the American people by using Bush as the bad guy.
