Rabid Left

President Bush did something right. The New York Times is furious to the point of irrationality in this no holds barred editorial on their Inernational Herald Tribune website.

4They claim America needs strong leadership and assert Bush offered tired nostrums and bureaucratic half-measures.

4 He wanted to appear to be embracing the recommendations of the 9/11 commission.

4 They claim he rejected the panel's most significiant ideas.

4 They assert that he "missed a chance to confront twin burdens"- to get intelligence reform moving and repair government's credibility.
Note: After Jason Blair and Howard Raines, the New York Times they can question anyones credibility??

4 To the NYTimes, "it is necessary to fight suspicions of political timing, suspicions the administration has sown by misleading the public on security."
Note: It's hard to dignify such slander.

4 As for the recent alert, the Times claims much of the information that led to the heightened alert is actually three or four years old, and authorities have found no concrete evidence that a terror plot was actually under way.
Note: Much of the information. Not all??
Note: If a terror plot was under way, you would know, you twits.
Note: How much evidence is considered "concrete"?

4 The decision bore the unmistakable stamp of Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld, who was never going to willingly give up control of appointments or his share of the intelligence budget: $32 billion of the overall $40 billion.
Note: Check to see if Rumsfield is Jewish, sorry, neo-Con.

4 Bush embraced the commission's suggestion that did not challenge his turf.
Note: Who was elected President?
The 9/11 Commission or the New York Times?
Note: The Presidency IS his turf.

4 They refer to the administration's record of fanciful interpretations of intelligence on Iraq.
Note: How about fanciful interpretations of the media mandate?

The good part: As a rule, Leftists become rabid with anger, frothing-at-the-mouth mean, tear-out-their-hair bitter, resentful and shrill when they have lost an issue. Fair bet the New York Times lost the hope they had for a Terrorist Czar.
