Michelle Malkin's Hot Air has the video of a pissed off President. It's righteous.
... what we did was fully authorized under the law. And the disclosure of this program is disgraceful. We're at war with a bunch of people who want to hurt the United States of America, and for people to leak that program, and for a newspaper to publish it does great harm to the United States of America. What we were doing was the right thing. Congress was aware of it, and we were within the law to do so.
The American people expect this government to protect our constitutional liberties and, at the same time, make sure we understand what the terrorists are trying to do. The 9/11 Commission recommended that the government be robust in tracing money. If you want to figure out what the terrorists are doing, you try to follow their money. And that's exactly what we're doing. And the fact that a newspaper disclosed it makes it harder to win this war on terror.
I'd like to see this President get pissed off more often at those who are doing their level best to aid and comfort the enemy. Much more often.
I'd like to see President Bush be as interested in expanding liberty at home as he is abroad and as eager to alienate domestic opponents as he is our allies.
