WASHINGTON - The Bush administration will cut counterterrorism money for police, firefighters and rescue departments next year, but not by as much as it originally proposed.Apparently we're keeping our winning secret so the terrorists won't know....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.

We won and nobody told us?
The eternal war on a noun? Why else would the Bush administration want to cut money from the first responders on the Eternal War On Terror?

of course he is cutting security -- he has to keep funding halliburton's profits in iraq and the credit card is getting tapped out
first to go -- people HERE
there is no awful thing that can happen to that president that is too awful
How about the sudden and complete realization of what he has done to the country and the world? Along with the full knowledge that most of the world will despise him and that his legacy is shit?
I'd settle for that.
