Five days after 9-1-1 (9/11/2001), Republican (fascist/socialist) de facto President George W. Bush (having received an unlawful advantage of 52 ineligible Electoral votes) advises the national media that,

       This is a new kind of—a new kind of evil.  And we understand.  And the American people are beginning to understand.  This crusade, this war on terrorism is going to take a while.  And the American people must be patient.”

       Republican de facto Vice President Ricard B. Cheney (having received an unlawful advantage of 52 ineligible Electoral votes) says on the National Broadcasting Company’s television interview program Meet the Press,

       We … have to work the dark side, if you will.  We’ve got to spend time in the shadows using sources and methods that are available to our intelligence agencies.  That’s the world [terrorists] operate in, and so it’s going to be vital for us to use any means at our disposal.
