What does this * quote even mean?
"'We believe strongly that we must take action to prevent attacks from happening in the first place,' Bush said 'They view the threats we face like law enforcement, and that is, we respond after we're attacked.'"
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20061004/ap_on_go_pr_wh/bush_12

If you made me swear on a stack of Bibles I could not translate that horseshit into common sense. Any Democrats in here want to wait for AQ to attack us before we do anything about it? Anyone with two brain cells to rub together think that law enforcement only means respond after the fact?

2. He didn't believe strongly enough in 2001
Mr. Bush took NO action to prevent the attacks.

3. You don't need no stinkin' civil liberties...
we'll haul your ass in even if we just think you're thinking about being a terrorist. Keep in mind they define a terrorist (or terrorist enabler) as anyone who doesn't agree with them.

6. He's saying, "We kill people for what they MIGHT do"
"Democrats wait until there's reliable evidence before taking any action."
