A friend sent me the link below. At first I thought it had to be an
April Fool joke, but apparently The Shrub really IS that stupid!

What the article said, in part:

QUOTE:

Bush Prepares for Possible GPS Shutdown
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Published: December 15, 2004


Filed at 10:17 p.m. ET

WASHINGTON (AP) -- President Bush has ordered plans for temporarily
disabling the U.S. network of global positioning satellites during a
national crisis to prevent terrorists from using the navigational
technology, the White House said Wednesday.

Any shutdown of the network inside the United States would come under
only the most remarkable circumstances, said a Bush administration
official who spoke to a small group of reporters at the White House on
condition of anonymity.

"The Shrub"...?!?!

"April Fool's Joke"...?!?!

Hans, you're an idiot or an Al-Queda supporter.

How do I know this?

Because ONLY an idiot or an Al-Queda supporter could suggest that
making it difficult for terrorists to use our own systems against us is
an "April Fool's Joke".

BTW...I correct my earlier statement about Slick Willy making the
GPS net available in "93 or 94"...that was when he initially suggested
it. It became effective in 2000. It was discussed in Flying magazine
as early and the late 80's.

None-the-less, the idea of being able to inhibit or completely
disable the system is STILL not new, and I for one hope they DO keep
the reigns on it! It was an error to let it loose in the first place.

You're an idiot, and The Shrub is an idiot. Has nothing to do with terrorists.

Oh, break my heart, Oh Two Faced One.

You're still an idiot and you're still an Al-Queda supporter.

A strange thing in this whole new range war is something that is a
little disturbing.

That is the propensity for people who think that while it is an okay
thing to refer to the previous president as "Slick Willie".

And yet it is some sort of crime to refer to the present one as "shrub".

While I do not call either one by those pejorative, it is hard to not
equate such an attitude as hypocrisy. There seems to be an attitude
brewing that any disagreement equals treason.

Hey Pubs!! Now is the time to revive the Sedition Acts. This is your
chance to quash those opposing viewpoints! ;^)

Bill Clinton is/was a documented liar. Whatever good things he DID do
will be forever tainted by semen stains on dresses and videotape of a
then-sitting president blatantly lying during a sworn deposition.

Bill Clinton had EIGHT years in which to take action to prevent an act the
likes of "9/11", yet he did not. He had more than adequate evidence that they
(Al-Queda) could strike with effective force on the FIRST WTC attack.

While I do not call either one by those pejorative, it is hard to not

Not treason, Mike.

A matter of effective expression.

Hans started this off with a snide refrence to a sitting President and
further made ludicrous suggestions that would, on the face of it, demonstrate
that he has pro Al-Queda sympathies.

It was idiotic.

Hey Pubs!! Now is the time to revive the Sedition Acts. This is your
chance to quash those opposing viewpoints!

In our reasonable defense, there can be no gray area, Mike. We either
take steps (or have plans in place) to defend and protect ourselves, or we
don't.

Hans doesn't favor our reasonable defense. He expressed THAT rather
clearly.

I've got no problem with opposing viewpoints, but in the end, it's time
for MoveOn.Org to take its own advice and move on. That goes for the
MoveOn cheerleaders as well.
