On this day:
Why Bush is unfit
Well, Monday has come and gone. The last day to register to vote in this year's presidential election has past. I still havn't heard from our so-called "Homeland Security Department" granting me a citizenship. Looks like this country will have to do without my vote on taking back our country. Today, I came across this article (via The Fishbowl) published in New York Times Magazine: Without a Doubt that pretty much says why George W. Bush is so "clear-eyed" about Al Qaeda and the Islamic Fundamentalist enemy.
If you are on the same boat as I am, you can cast your vote here. Globalvote2004.org is totally neutral. You may vote for any candidate coonfidentially and only once. They will count the vote 48 hours before the election in U.S.A and submit the result to the media letting US citizens know what the world's sentiments are on our candidates.
So Cast your vote one way or the other. We all can iinfluence what might be a tight race.

Senator Joe Biden — ''I was in the Oval Office a few months after we swept into Baghdad,'' he began, ''and I was telling the president of my many concerns'' -- concerns about growing problems winning the peace, the explosive mix of Shiite and Sunni, the disbanding of the Iraqi Army and problems securing the oil fields. Bush, Biden recalled, just looked at him, unflappably sure that the United States was on the right course and that all was well. '''Mr. President,' I finally said, 'How can you be so sure when you know you don't know the facts?'"We are sending our citizens, our children, our spouses, our fathers, our mothers to fight a war based on our president's instincts!? Absolutely incredulous! What and where are all the checks and balances in our government structure? Bush is the commandar-in-chief for our military but he is not our commandar-in-chief of our country. It is still our country and we want it back.
Biden said that Bush stood up and put his hand on the senator's shoulder. ''My instincts,'' he said. ''My instincts.''
Biden paused and shook his head, recalling it all as the room grew quiet. ''I said, 'Mr. President, your instincts aren't good enough!'"
The Delaware senator was, in fact, hearing what Bush's top deputies -- from cabinet members like Paul O'Neill, Christine Todd Whitman and Colin Powell to generals fighting in Iraq -- have been told for years when they requested explanations for many of the president's decisions, policies that often seemed to collide with accepted facts. The president would say that he relied on his ''gut'' or his ''instinct'' to guide the ship of state, and then he ''prayed over it.''
