Bush to Democrats: 'We are at war' - WASHINGTON (AP) -- President Bush compared Congress' Democratic leaders Thursday with people who ignored the rise of Lenin and Hitler early in the last century, saying "the world paid a terrible price" then and risks similar consequences for inaction today. Bush accused Congress of stalling important pieces of the fight to prevent new terrorist attacks by: dragging out and possibly jeopardizing confirmation of Michael Mukasey as attorney general, a key part of his national security team; failing to act on a bill governing eavesdropping on terrorist suspects; and moving too slowly to approve spending measures for the Iraq war, Pentagon and veterans programs.

 

What's lost on Bush is that the U.S. didn't employ torture tactics to defet Communism or Nazism.  The dragging out of Mukasey's confirmation is that he won't take a firm stance against torture tactics. This is just another bully tactic by Bush to jumble up the facts and try to get his way.  See Bush's alter ego below:
