One Million Points of Light 83 Billion Dollar Vision Thing

Tell me the right way too look at it almighty Bush administration. Tell me the right way...

The renewed refusal came despite the panel's unanimous plea for her testimony.

Rice argued that "al Qaeda is not more dangerous today than it was on September 11" but said it is still dangerous. She also said, "The world is a lot safer and the war on terrorism is well-served by the victory in Iraq." When it was noted that there have been more terrorist attacks in the 30 months since Sept. 11 than in the 30 months prior, she replied: "That's the wrong way to look at it."

More bullshit from the bullshit brigade.

"Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld, on ABC's 'This Week,' disagreed with Clarke that going to war in Iraq hurt the overall war on terrorism. Asked about charges by Clarke and others that CIA and Army Special Forces units, with key personnel who spoke Arabic, were moved from Afghanistan in early 2002 and sent to help prepare the invasion of Iraq, Rumsfeld said, 'I don't think that is accurate.' The same Special Forces unit, Task Force 21, that was used to search for Saddam Hussein was redeployed a month ago to Afghanistan to support the search for bin Laden."

Well Rummy has already proven himself to be a huge liar and a sheister, so weather or not he "thinks [anything] is accurate" means very little considering that tomorrow he'll think something different if it fits the agenda.
