Bush Argues Against...Himself

Of course with the wiretap story still fresh in the news and on people's minds, I thought I'd post a rebuttal to Bush's argument pertaining to this specific subject.

The person arguing against the President? One George W. Bush, just a year and a half earlier:

President Bush, April 20, 2004: "Now, by the way, any time you hear the United States government talking about wiretap, itrequires -- a wiretap requires a court order. Nothing has changed, by the way. When we're talking about chasing down terrorists, we're talking about getting a court order before we do so." (click here for video)


President Bush, July 14 2004: A couple of things that are very important for you to understand about the Patriot Act. First of all, any action that takes place by law enforcement requires a court order. In other words, the government can't move on wiretaps or roving wiretaps without getting a court order.

I know, I know. Kerry's the flip-flopper, right?
