Dec. 13, 2006 The Bush administration asked an appeals court on Tuesday to overturn a judge's ruling that all U.S. dollar bills must be changed to accommodate the visually impaired.
Just in time for the holidays, they pick a fight with the blind! It's not like "Of the more than 180 countries that issue paper currency, only the United States prints bills that are identical in size and color in all their denominations" or anything...
Speaking today, less than a week after England formally renounced the phrase "War on Terror" and just a few days after Rumsfeld claimed he never cared for the term(?!?!?!?), Bush alluded to a future Iraq that would be "strong ally in this war against radicals and extremists who would do us harm." He only used the phrase war on terror during the questions and answer session. He also said this. "There's a lot of consultations taking place, and as I announced yesterday, I will be delivering my plans after a long deliberation, after steady deliberation. I'm not going to be rushed into making a difficult decision, a necessary decision to say to our troops, "We're going to give you the tools necessary to succeed and a strategy to help you succeed." That doesn't sound like a draw-down to me.
Oh, and just in case you were wondering "It's a remarkable period in American history right now." (Quotes all from bush today, cept the first one from the court case)
