George W Bush says country is totally safe from terrorists
And in recognition of this safety, he will cut spending for counterterrorism.
The Bush administration will cut counterterrorism money for police, firefighters and rescue departments next year, but not by as much as it originally proposed.You see, since this budget will really affect his successor and because thanks to his bungling said successor will almost certainly be a Democrat, Our Dear Embattled Leader has no problem leaving our country defenseless. When your a Republican, politics trumps patriotism every day of the year.
Next month the White House will request $2.2 billion to help states and cities protect against terrorist attacks in 2009, and not $1.4 billion, an administration aide told Rep. Peter King, R-N.Y., on Friday. That would be 10 percent more than the president requested for 2008, but 40 percent less than Congress gave the department this year.
King and other lawmakers were outraged in December when they learned the administration wanted to slash these funds by more than half in its final budget request before Bush leaves office.
