So the White House Has Formed a Task Force

Let me get this straight.

When people were first calling for a 9-11 panel, Bush said it wasn't needed because the WH had already studied the issue and Congress had studied the issue (neither true, of course) so any panel would just triplicate (ok, it's late and I'm making up words just as Mr. Bush would if he could handle polysyllabic terminology - and yes, I'd pay to hear him say THAT three times fast) what they'd already done.

But once the 911 panel reported, Mr. Bush forms a task force to LOOK at what the 911 panel found, which drew on what Congress and the White House found and BEFORE we can do anything (besides give billions and billions and billions extra to the Pentagon and to Mr. Bush's and Mr. Cheney's and Mr. DeLay's political friends in contracts).

You really want to re-elect this crew?
