Bush promises to answer Hill questions about NSA program
Only with more lies of course.

Snip: <Cambridge, Md. – President Bush told House Republicans on Friday that administration officials would soon brief members of the House intelligence committee about the National Security Agency’s domestic surveillance program.

Bowing to political pressure from within Republican ranks, the administration held a similar briefing for members of the Senate intelligence committee earlier this week.

Bush’s remarks were part of an almost two-hour lunch he held with Republican House members on Friday, the second day of their three-day retreat here at the Hyatt Regency Chesapeake Bay to discuss the upcoming agenda for this critical election year.

Bush continued to stand by the controversial program and reiterated his commitment to war on terrorism in the United States and abroad.

“Laura doesn’t like me saying this, but I believe we do need to find al Qaeda, dead or alive,” Bush said, according to a Republican in the room. >

5. My thought exactly. Since when do her opinions matter. Is he
using Laura as an excuse for the reason that he has not killed or captured Bin Laden?

Such a warm and folksy guy. He still worries about what the little woman likes.

6. What he doesn't tell you is that anyone who opposes him is
a terrorist. It's like he said, you're either with us or you're with the terrorists.

7. There is no such "program." The word PROGRAM is being used
to identify illegal activities which meet a very limited list of criteria having to do with al Qaeda.

By using this word, they have avoided talking about he really evil stuff.

15. It's not a "program", it's a pogrom against anyone who's
anti-Bush.

8. BS. Four years too late, said to a room full of partisans, and I'd expect
he means brief Republican members only, given the record. Gag me with a spoon, as they used to say, but let's hold 'em to this "leak"....

11. My point exactly
Gonna answer some questions, Bushy? Would that be under oath? In sworn testimony? Highly unlikely, methinks.

12. This administration needs the NSA warrant less spying to
keep track of the electronic voting during national elections. They need to know where to sent the help to insure winning, ya know?

18. Finally!
In the 2004 Election, the NSA would have had access to any and all communication lines, including the computer bank that Karl Rove was operating from, without anyone questioning their presence (if the covert op was made). Especially right after the 'boogie man,' Osama was just on tv scaring people right before the election.

This could be the reason why nobody has come forward with direct knowledge or evidence of election theft, because any NSA agent involved would be sworn to secrecy and it could be covered up in the NSA. They made sure the logistics were set up, and everything ran as planned. How do we know that NSA agents were not working as technicians for the electronic voting companies that promised Bush a victory?

The NSA warrant less spying on Americans part is just the tip of the iceberg. Think about how corrupt and dirty these people are and how nothing will get in their way. They had no fear about losing the election, even though the polls said otherwise.

17. Never forget that whatever Bush says, the opposite is or will
be truth. Reverse every promise and you will know what will really happen or not happen as the case might be.
