VIDEO: Bush 2004 used rubble of 9/11 to say liberals won't fight terrorism

Who used (and uses) terrorism as a political weapon?

Who used our paranoia after 9/11 to browbeat us into an unrelated war in Iraq, and got on using force there before the 2002 elections, so Democrats would be afraid to vote against it, and if they did, would be more likely to lose?

If the mainstream media lets the republicans off the hook for this one, all the networks might as well put Fox in front of their names.

"If the mainstream media lets the republicans off the hook for this one, all the networks might as well put Fox in front of their names."

They've been doing it for 20+ years, did something change? They are all like Fox now, The National Enquirer and ilk are the main stream media.

keep us safe by starting unnecessary wars, alienating the rest of the world with comments like "You're either with us or against us", and letting terrorists run free.

''for viewers who don't know what Italians are, they are generally accepted as Caucasians.''
