9/11 Commission Says It Needs More Time Bush's handlers are more concerned about political prospects than national security.

Dean returns to his message Dr. Dean stepped on a landmine. It wasn't the Iowa "Scream" - it was taking on too many special interests at once. Media trashing is what you get when you suggest the FCC should enforce Anti-Trust in the Media.
"This government has given away our airwaves to the most powerful corporations, who are misleading the public, you've got to give the broadest spectrum of availability . . . and what this president is doing with minions on the FCC is to condense that spectrum of what people are allowed to hear. That is a dangerous thing for the promulgation of democracy, and that will be undone in a Dean administration."

Cheney's too smart to be delusional. This is outright deception. Better yet, let's call it for what it is - a lie.
"We've found a couple of semi-trailers at this point which we believe were in fact part of (a WMD) program, I would deem that conclusive evidence, if you will, that he did in fact have programs for weapons of mass destruction."
