George W. Bush comes across as authoritarian. In times of crisis, this is a good thing. After all, in times of crisis we don't have time to consider all the options, we want solutions and we want them readily available, and most importantly we don't want to be distracted by options that might weaken our resolve.
Feelings of fear and insecurity bolster existing administrations, especially if they repeat the mantra that they have everything under control.
So it is with great suspicion that I learn today, three years after the September 11th attacks, that the Department of Homeland Security is going to run it's first annual National Be Afraid, Be Very Afraid Preparedness Month. An entire month of hiding under desks and quaking in our boots, reading to sing "Duck and Cover!" at a moments notice. Where's Bert the Turtle when you need him?
I'm sorry, but I can't help but think that this is nothing but a Rovian ploy to pump up the emotions that serve the Republican electorate. It's hard to say bad things about an idea like "National Preparedness Month", but the timing is such that it makes me cynical as Hell.

I seem to be lacking the aforementioned common sense, humor me and share what I would have gotten if I used some common sense?
Common Senses on the gaming tragedy of this war and pre-game set off ‘Take a Looky with some Nooky’ Figure-ly speaking starting with Dessert Storm.
One, we have establish that the Dessert Storm was just to size up his dick for a cock ring, Right. Although we couldn’t find the right size, so we have to use the bolt cutter cock ring with razor sharp teeth to cut off his DICK Tatorship upon those people that was living with out the freedom to chose and be able to have the right to be in control of their own free will.
The only reason dick is still in the game is because the public dont know the true level of his corruption. All dick is really good for is saying kerry is a flip-flopper,glaring at people, and astonishing the public he is still alive every time he returns from the hospital :
I have heart problem and I’m still alive. I’m bending your ass over and fucking you like my bitch in heat in my visions. But I am being nice using humorous lubrication, not trying to ripe that ass of yours. How is Dick corrupting people, at give me some examples.
