Ridge plans his Terror Warnings according to the chatter          that occurs every time the president&#8217;s political livelihood seems to head          south.<\/p>\n<p>Colin Powell: Secretary of State &#8211; Powell as you will remember is the          guy who <a href=\"http:\/\/www.state.gov\/secretary\/rm\/2003\/17300.htm\">fell          on his sword<\/a> for the administration right in front of the United Nations.          Powell is what many see as the great tragedy of the Bush administration,          I just see him as a man who will never again be trusted by anyone in the          world outside the Bush White House.<\/p>\n<p>George W. Bush: War President &#8211; We all know this guy, he&#8217;s the one that has done nothing but stimulate the economy with tax breaks during times of war. Speaking of war, he&#8217;s seems to be a little <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cnn.com\/2003\/ALLPOLITICS\/05\/01\/bush.carrier.landing\/\">premature<\/a> in his declarations.<\/p>\n<p>Donald Rumsfield: Secretary of Defense &#8211; Rumsfield is the guy who seems to          think Iraq flew planes into our buildings. He also likes the idea of fighting          wars without nearly enough troops.<\/p>\n<p>John Ashcroft: United States Attorney General &#8211; John will do anything in the name of freedom including detain you for over a year without letting you see your lawyer. John also likes the term enemy combative.<\/p>\n<p>Robert Mueller: Director of the FBI &#8211; Mueller is kind of just along for          the ride. He inherited the FBI right before the 9\/11 attack but he has          been more than slow to adapt to the needs of the FBI.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>What seems to be missing from this picture? Ahh that&#8217;s right some one from        the CIA. Remember there the ones we&#8217;re supposed to blame for the intelligence        failures, they&#8217;re the ones that blew the 9\/11 plot and the botched the Iraq        deal.
