Bush Beckons Big Government Intelligence

President Bush ordered a new intelligence unit on Wednesday, the same day he delivered a speech designed to remind Americans we’re fighting a war in Iraq. Although Bush is seemingly unable to remember that Iraq had nothing to do with 9/11, there is some hope that this new intelligence unit will help in the war against terror.

Skeptics might like to remind the President that government intelligence is an oxymoron. However, skeptics would be wise to keep their words short and to the point. Any words beginning with the letters O, X, and Y are sure to confuse our little shrub. Meanwhile Americans retain hope that the remainder of the word, oxy-moron, might garner a modicum of pattern recognition within the presidential gray matter – if there is, in fact, such a thing.

I am left wondering if the President has any principles at all, beyond that is, an unrelenting, drain circling attempt to pretend that Iraq and 9/11 are inextricably related. Reportedly Bush is a “conservative” yet he continues to complicate the U.S. bureaucracy, this time with additional intelligence units. I fear the expansion of government bureaucracy will only serve to confuse Bush further. But there is hope. Maybe this new unit will have time to investigate the Downing Street Memo!
