House of Representatives Speaker Nancy Pelosi of California said Democrats would try to overturn Bush's veto and said U.S. moral authority was at stake.

"We will begin to reassert that moral authority by attempting to override the president's veto next week," Pelosi said.

Democratic Sen. Edward Kennedy of Massachusetts called Bush's veto "one of the most shameful acts of his presidency."

And our dumbed down society accepts it as the article "A CNN Poll Is Currently Running That Indictes 44 Percent Of Public Favor WaterBoarding" at click here states

"On CNN's front page, a poll is current running that indicates 44% of those who have so far voted favor 'WaterBoarding' of individuals suspected of terrorism. This is an indication that the 'Politics of Fear' are working, and Americans are not thinking this issue through, but are instead reacting to fear without understand the history of WaterBoarding, its history in regard to law, and the direct effect it could have on American prisoners of war."

It is the politics of fear and it is open deceit by this saw-offed banana
republic dictator big bro 43. He always vowed to do what his military leaders told him. In fact he has made them military jump ship. The article "Top U.S. Officer in Mideast Resigns" at click here states: 

The top U.S. commander in the Middle East, whose views on strategy in the region have put him at odds with the Bush administration, abruptly announced his resignation yesterday, calling reports of such disagreements an untenable "distraction."

Adm. William J. "Fox" Fallon became head of U.S. Central Command last March, putting him ostensibly in charge of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. But he clashed frequently with Gen. David H. Petraeus, the top U.S. ommander in Iraq, over strategy and troop levels, Pentagon officials said.

 

Though technically Fallon's subordinate, Petraeus has more experience in Iraq and has forged a strong connection with President Bush.

Fallon, 63, had made several comments reflecting disagreement with the
administration's stance on Iran, most recently in an Esquire magazine article last week that portrayed him as the only person who might stop Bush from going to war with the Islamic republic...

On Iraq, Fallon butted heads with Petraeus over the past year, arguing for a more rapid drawdown of U.S. troops and a swifter transition to Iraqi security forces. Fallon even carried out his own review of the conduct of the war-a move that surprised many Pentagon officials, in part because Lt. Gen. Raymond T. Odierno, who until last month was Petraeus's deputy in Iraq and Petraeus had already revamped U.S. strategy in Iraq and, with Bush's approval, had implemented a buildup of about 30,000 additional troops, moving them off big bases and deploying them among the Iraqi population.

In the Esquire article, Fallon contends that Iraq was consuming excessive U.S. attention. In a part of the world with "five or six pots boiling over," he is quoted as saying, "our nation can't afford to be mesmerized by one problem."

Big bro 43 has ruined our place of prestige among the international community, dismantled our civil rights, lied to us about the pre-war Iraq intelligence, fired his top military expert and our US MSM does nothing.

 

For the love of all that is good and decent in the world his liar in chief about the pre-war Iraq intelligence, Feith, runs down everybody other than the
fired-for-incompetence, Rummy, and the US MSM passes on following that crisis to obsess about Elliott Spitzer.
