Inteligence is needed for fighting the enemies of Democracy, like the American hating left. It is also useful in supporting groups in despotic countries who are attempting to turn their countries into democracies.

The above cheap attempts to discredit Bush on this issue is proof positive why the left should NEVER run foreign policy.

You're absolutely right, James - there is no plausible way for intel to 'bolster' democracies. Unless, of course, you assume Bush meant 'bolster _this_ democracy', ie, 'provide better proof for decisions I've already made'...

Business as usual for Bush. Nothing like mixing up policy with intel to utterly foul up both intel and policy.
