This is how George W. Bush fights the war on terror:

Last week, after members of the news media had already left the room, a House Ways and Means Subcommittee was given the news that a plan to increase by 50 percent the number of criminal financial investigators working to disrupt the finances of Al-qaeda, Hamas and other terrorist organizations had been scuttled. The reason? To save $12 million. The Internal Revenue Service had asked for 80 more criminal investigators to pursue the funds of terrorists and to disrupt their networks. They aren't getting it.

So the IRS is prevented from breaking up Al-qaeda finances, U.S. soldiers are having their benefits cut and being told to buy some of their own supplies, and first responders in New York City still don't have sufficient safety equipment. Everyone feel safer now?
