One Trick Pony, Bush, again used terrorism as a rationale why the congress should affirm pro-torture Mukasey as Attorney General.
Paraphrasing, 'if we get attacked without an AG we will not have a full National Security team in place."'
Just come out & say it, "If i don't get my way, my buddies will stage another terrorist attack on US soil"
Some stories seem to be indicating Bush is alluding to 'If i don't get Mukasey there won't be any AG'
I believe there is an acting AG now,
so i guess what he REALLY means is his choice of AG who is pro-torture, just like Gonzo.
Bush raises stakes on Mukasey
Democrats' insistence on a torture declaration is unfair and could leave the Justice Department without a leader, the president says.

WASHINGTON -- President Bush on Thursday raised the stakes in his contest with Senate Democrats over the nomination of Michael B. Mukasey as attorney general, saying they were subjecting the nominee to a unique and unfair standard and could cause the Justice Department to be left without leadership at a critical juncture.
Bush, in his most forceful remarks to date on the troubled nomination, strongly defended Mukasey's refusal to say whether Mukasey believed that an interrogation technique known as water-boarding was illegal torture.http://www.latimes.com/news/nationworld/politics/la-na-mukasey2nov02,1,5162807.story?coll=la-news-politics-national&track=crosspromo
