Does Bush incompetence threaten national security?

Less than a month after public hearings stressed the need for coordination among the Administration's disparate department heads,

Less than a month after the Administration trumpeted a new era of coordination,

Disregarding the "stated" DHS role to notify the public of threat assessments in consultation with the WH,

Ashcroft goes public, with a vague threat alert, which is promptly refuted by the DHS, has the WH running damage control for its own Dept of Justice and the public going whaaat?

Does Bush's inability to coordinate and manage his own Administration threaten national security?

1. "Does Bush's incompetence threaten national security?"

Not as much as a foreign policy based on PNAC and millennialist Christianity threaten our national security.

What has China, Russian, North Korea, and other nations been up to? While we are being preoccupied with some piss ant, what have the wolves been up to?

(edited to change "off" to "away" :) )

5. Saddam Hussein is not "some pissant"

He's a pimple, not worth one drop of American blood. And we're not "pissing off the national treasury," we're pissing it away.

And Chimpy isn't some incompetent ne'er-do-well; wait, yes he is.

4. Yeah, big time, and it pisses me off.

All they do is throw out meaningless platitudes about "terror" and "freedom" and people think they're strong on defense. I don't get it.
