 Are there cracks in the Bush Administration already?

 Just weeks after the Imperial President's declaration that the war in 
 Iraq was over. General Garner has long-since been replaced, and now
 the tattered remnants of Saddam Hussein's military forces seem to
 be engaged in a guerilla war that while not militarily effective on
 the ground in Iraq, is eroding Bush's political support at home. -- And 
 this fact will be made all the worse if these rogue killers are found to 
 be operating under the aegis of Al Qaeda. And not Saddam's old 
 military command structure.

 Meanwhile on the home front, Bush is willfully allowing his political
 "soldiers" to take the hit for the sixteen untimely words that were in
 his State of the Union Address suggesting that Iraq had tried to acquire
 nuclear material from an African nation. George Tenent, Director of
 the Central Intelligence Agency, and a Clinton appointee of all things, 
 has already gallantly fallen on his sword. But, what a disgusting spectacle 
 it was to see Condeleeza Rice on television Sunday, doing the talk 
 show word dance, whilst stridently trying to protect "her" President. 

 The final responsibility for the State of the Union miscue belongs
 with the man in the White House. Afterall, it was his speech. Not 
 Dr. Rice's or George Tenent's. 

 Despite all the bad press the Bush Administration is receiving right 
 now, America might still be ready to forgive the President, for his
 over-enthusiastic intelligence assessment of Saddam's dirty dealings. 
 But, apparently, admitting a mistake is beyond the man.

 Perhaps Bush believes his Republican congress will protect him.
 Only time will tell on that score if this problem doesn't go away, ie
 the media loses interest in the story, or WMD's are actually found 
 in Iraq.

 But, of course there is more that Bush has yet to effectively deal
 with. The economy is a disaster. In only two years the Bush
 Administration has run the deficit to astronomical levels. The projected
 shortcomings for this year alone is an astounding 450 billion dollars!

 The good times of the Clinton economy are long gone. Admittedly, 
 both government and private industry economists alike, predicted 
 that a recession was on the way before the former President's term 
 was over. But what is happening with the economy now is two years 
 into George Bush's watch. 

 Can't blame Clinton anymore. 

 People are out of work. And despite the supposed tightening that
 was done because of September 11th, 2001, undocumented immigrants 
 still run-amok. Many of these illegals grab jobs that could legitimately 
 belong to American citizens or legal immigrants of what-ever nationality.
 And many of these illegals commit property crimes and worse. These
 undocumented wanderers are a threat to public safety.

 The country - in a word - needs work. The current situation is the 
 responsibilty of the President and his minions, to set things right. 
 To make the proper political judgements. And to steer the country 
 back towards prosperity. 

 A prosperity that was reality under the democratic administration 
 of the former president.

 The war against terrorism is extremely important. Both Usama Bin
 Laden and Saddam Hussein - if he is still alive - have jail cells painted 
 in their favorite colors, and waiting for them. But, the economy cannot 
 be allowed to crumble in the meanwhile. More attention needs to 
 be given to what's going on stateside.

 Bush has already fought his image-building war. Kicked dust -
 like the cowboy that he is - onto the boots of every bad boy he
 could find. He has demonstrated by action, that America's righteous 
 might is untouched, thanks in great part to his vision. --- Or 
 so he thinks. 

 The scary part is, there's an election coming sooner, rather than 
 later. So, how's this bumbling Head of State going to deal with all 
 of the dark clouds that are suddenly appearing over the domestic 
 homefront?
