PANDORA'S BOX OPENED THANKS TO NY TIMES AND DEMOCRATS

I was anticipating this to happen and it has. Following the leak by the New York Times concerning the wire taps that the President authorized for suspected Al Qaeda operatives in the US and the political game played by the left in the aftermath, the defense attorneys for several terrorist suspects already in custody are asking a federal judge to determine if evidence against their clients was gathered by electronic surveillance. One of the suspects has already confessed to a plot to blow up the Brooklyn Bridge yet his defense attorney is taking the same stance concerning the wire tap debacle that the left has whined about. There are several statutes in the law ranging from the 1978 Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act to several provisions in the Patriot Act that give the President the authority to monitor anyone suspected of threatening our national security. His primary job as President is to protect this nation and we have an enemy that will stop at nothing to kill every man, woman and child in this nation, including those that through their political rhetoric are defending the very terrorists that wish to kill us! Every President since Washington has used inherent Executive Powers to gather intelligence to protect the nation yet according to the NY Times and the libs in Congress President Bush has performed and illegal act. Now we are beginning to see the results of their blatant irresponsible accusations knowing that every word they are stating is a lie for they have access to the very statutes that give Bush the authority not to mention the fact that when the surveillance program was instigated by the Bush administration following 9/11, Congress was informed of the program and fully backed it. Now to destroy the President they once again act as if they are ignorant to the truth. If they think that the enemy is not listening to their rhetoric then they are blind and frankly I believe that they are doing this with their eyes wide open and do not care about the consequences. This disgusting political game is as much a threat to national security as the terrorists that their rhetoric is protecting. They have tied the hands of the President by revealing legal intelligence gathering techniques and hampered the ability to prevent future attacks. Yet if those attacks happen these same liberal politicians will be the first to blame the President for the attacks. This type of political game is the very reason why the Democrats MUST NEVER gain control of Congress or The White House. I shudder to think of the devastating consequences that liberals in charge will bring to our nation! Though their politics will keep them from gaining control because we the people see through their rhetoric, the damage they have and continue to cause is immeasurable!
