WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President George W. Bush on Sunday will visit the site where New York's twin towers once stood, as he marks the fifth anniversary of the September 11 attacks amid an intensifying election-year debate over whether his policies have made America safer or more vulnerable.

Bush's approval ratings soared and his presidency was reshaped after he stood in the ruins of the World Trade Center days after the 2001 attacks and sought to rally the country by shouting into a bullhorn.

<snip>

The rift has widened with the approach of the November 7 elections, in which Democrats hope to overturn Republican dominance of Congress.

In a two-day tour of all three crash sites -- the World Trade Center, the Pentagon and the field in Shanksville, Pennsylvania, where United Flight 93 crashed -- Bush will strive to put aside partisan acrimony, if only temporarily.

He has no prepared remarks for the visits, according to White House spokesman Tony Snow. Bush will attend a Sunday evening prayer service in New York and visit firefighters on Monday morning.

:puke:

6. Wasn't this NYC trip announced at the last minute??
We wouldn't want there to be enough time for a major protest to be arranged. I'll bet pissed off people will show up though. The press will report 5000, so there would have been 10 or 15 thousand.

8. EVERY public appearance is last minute for the members of the cabal.
Even a few days notice will result in a swell of activism and protests at whatever location is unlucky enough to host them.

It's the beginning of people taking to the streets. It's a beautiful thing. :-) MKJ
