Bush: Defund explosives detection

WASHINGTON - While the British terror suspects were hatching their plot, the Bush administration was quietly seeking permission to divert $6 million that was supposed to be spent this year developing new homeland explosives detection technology.

The stone fact is that the Bush administration doesn't actually care about terrorism. They regard it as a useful political tool, handy for stoking fear, and manipulating people to get what they want. They TALK about it: they do nothing about it. They defund anything that might actually be useful, and use that money for there own little pet projects.

That's why none of Bush's actions have actually helped to decrease terrorism: because there is no actual desire on the part of this administration to decrease it.
