Joined at the unholy hip.

Shall we begin a betting pool to see how many "Orange Alerts" there will be leading up to the November mid-term elections?

The Republicans and Al-Qaeda now depend on each other like surgically grafted Siamese twins. One depends on the other to enhance their power base.

The Bush administration has fallen for every psychological trap Osama Bin Laden has laid, with their trumpets blaring and their pants down.

Unable to make any headway in the war on terror over the last four years, the Republicans point to Michael Moore and progressive thinking America: must be their fault.

The Rumsfeld, Cheney, Wolfowitz cabal relish their opportunities to employ cheap citizen control tactics whenever possible. How many elevated alerts were there before the 2004 election?

How many since?

Not since Munich in the 1930's has a political party manipulated the honest patriotism of its people towards one end: power for power's sake.
