Here is the full text of George W. Bush’s Executive Order of September 12, 2007:
“Notice: Continuation of the National Emergency with Respect to Certain Terrorist Attacks
Consistent with section 202(d) of the National Emergencies Act (50 U.S.C. 1622(d)), I am continuing for 1 year the national emergency I declared on September 14, 2001, in Proclamation 7463, with respect to the terrorist attacks at the World Trade Center, New York, New York, the Pentagon, and aboard United Airlines flight 93, and the continuing and immediate threat of further attacks on the United States.
Because the terrorist threat continues, the national emergency declared on September 14, 2001, last extended on September 5, 2006, and the powers and authorities adopted to deal with that emergency, must continue in effect beyond September 14, 2007. Therefore, I am continuing in effect for an additional year the national emergency I declared on September 14, 2001, with respect to the terrorist threat.
This notice shall be published in the Federal Register and transmitted to the Congress.
GEORGE W. BUSH ”
Nearly all of George W. Bush’s presidency has been a national emergency. There’s really nothing else to say, is there?

Where is the emergency? On the day of September 11, 2001, there was an emergency. When Hurricane Katrina hit, there was an emergency. Where is the emergency now?
Last I heard, there was no specific credible threat of terrorist attack. How does that make for an emergency? ‘Cause Osama Bin Laden made a video?

If it is because Bin Laden made a video then it just goes to show that the terrorists have already won.
When one man releasing a video can send the most powerful nation on earth into a state of national emergency then, well…the terrorists have really lived up to their name.
