DIRTY: Bush's thwarted attack on LA. Playing politics with terrorism. [View All]

[cheezus]

His poll numbers continue to fall, the SOTU didn't give him a bump, he's facing bi-partasan criticism of his domestic spying, and his advisor/traitor karl is trying to play the fear card for the midterms. So what do I see first thing when I hit the web today? Our fearless leader prevented a "catastrophic attack" on the west coast.

Wait a minute... I thought that we weren't supposed to comment on operations as it could aid the enemy! I guess that doesn't apply when the president is in political hot water and wants to take credit for it.

But even if this is true, and not another fabrication... I mean, fool me three dozen times, shame on me-- right? Even if it's true, Bush taking credit? Give me a break. He doesn't even know what the hell happened.

CNN, of course, left this out, but linked from google news (http://www.news24.com/News24/World/News/0,,2-10-1462_1878482,00.html) was this tidbit:

Bush referred to the plot as targeting the Liberty Tower in Los Angeles, but White House aides afterward said Bush had meant to say the intended target was the city's Library Tower.

Hey, it's an easy mistake for him. They're both things that he claims to be for, but in reality hates with a burning passion.

I'm interested to see how this unfolds. If successful, you can bet we'll be hearing a lot more stories about how the brave republicans saved us from the evil terrorists despite the evil democrats' obstruction. After all, it's not like we'll be able to see any evidence to back this shit up: that's classified. We'll just have to be scared enough to take their word for it... just like the WMDs.

This level of using the terrorist boogeyman to scare our people into giving the republicans electoral gains is sickening. I just hope that Americans can summon the courage to see through it.
