“This administration is populated by people who’ve spent their careers bashing government. They’re not just small-government conservatives—they’re Grover Norquist, strangle-it-in-the-bathtub conservatives. It’s a cognitive disconnect for them to be able to do something well in an arena that they have so derided and reviled all these years.”

Is America safe?

President Bush gives an emphatic maybe.
Whether or not we can be ever fully safe is up -- you know, is up in the air.

It seems like a fairly logical answer to me. It also goes against everything that Bush has campaigned on in the last few months. So I don't fault him for honesty in this case, but in his hypocrisy.

In Bush's defense, he may have heard this statement from James Dobson, founder of Focus on the Family and avid advocate of Oklahoma Republican Senate candidate Tom Coburn:
"Homosexuals are not monogamous. They want to destroy the institution of marriage," Dobson said.

"It will destroy marriage. It will destroy the Earth."

Meanwhile, back in reality, a new report on state's ability's to respond to biological weapons attacks says no:
Only three states reported that they are at the optimal level of preparedness for a biological attack, based on a three-point scale established by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

So if homosexuals marry and get a hold of biological weapons, head for cover immediately.
