Bush can't win

There are two recent stories now being digested which point up how the Bush administration can't win with the press and liberal columnists. The first is the arrest of the clowns in Miami who are being charged with planning attacks on the Sears Building and other targets. It turns out they are largely unable in either assets or intellect to carry out their plans in all probability so the mantra now being advanced is to the effect that Bush is not really protecting us and the announcement of the capture of the Miami blacks is shear hype. What is the alternative? Well, we could have continued to monitor them until they actually acquired the means, but that would have meant we had to tie up resources for maybe years. The decision to go ahead and arrest them, prosecute them and lock them up seems to make sense to me. The liberal media is uspet that Bush can claim credit for an undercover effort that did not involve an "eminent" threat. Sound familiar?

Another example of how Bush can't win is in the revelation that billions were dispersed to folks who falsely claimed to be victims of the Hurricane Katrina. The reason for this was the decision by FEMA to go ahead and pay those who claimed money and support rather than make a detailed investigation of each claim while the media screamed that the cruel Bush administration was needlessly delaying help to poor starving blacks. I am not at all happy with the way funds were wasted, but some of it was unavoidable as best I can see.
