Some of these days I've read Los Angeles Times and known that Frances F. Townsend, our President's domestic security advisor, who played an integral role in forming the present administration's anti-terrorism policy, announced that she was resigning.
Well, she has become the latest in the series of our senior officials to leave the Bush administration. And this fact is really put on my alert. You see, in recent months many of Bush's closest aides, including several who came to Washington with him nearly seven years ago, have left or announced they would leave soon. Among them have been his longtime political advisor Karl Rove; the White House counselor, Dan Bartlett; Atty Gen. Alberto R. Gonzales and Karen Hughes, who preceded Bartlett as counselor and held such key post as the State Department's undersecretary for public diplomacy and public affairs.
Moreover, most of them gave no reason for their departure (the same as F. Townsend) than to say that they wanted to go away from their public service and to turn to private business. Then they noted in their interviews that they were leaving their high posts "with a heavy heart", because their president had pressed ahead with foreign policy priorities (such as fighting against terrorism abroad and bringing stability to far Iraq and Afghanistan), sinking interests and needs own people. In other words, President Bush has fully neglected to pursue weighted domestic policy, especially now, when he has brought his mind to bear on solving Iranian problem.
But it is obvious that it means a new war and new deaths for our American citizens. And it has been beyond the mind of such honest and dignified people as these resigned seniors from Bush administration. That is why they decided to leave their deranged patron. Now the ball is with us
