MSNBC News Stating London Attacks Could Hurt Bush Further:
Was talking about how he keeps saying we are taking the fight to the terrorists so we don't have to fight them at home.

1. Well, that is my read of this whole mess that ...
... Prez Junior got us into. We have created MORE terrorists and I do not think they are content to wait for us to invade ~ like we did in Iraq. Witness what happened in London.

6. it's the bush league - terrorist rookies who joined only becuase of their
hatred of bush's unrelenting policies of death and destruction.

These rookies receive on-the-ground training against US troops in Iraq and must feel emboldened and celebrate every time an American soldier is killed or wounded. As Juan Cole said in his recent article, killing our soldiers proves to the terrorists the US is not invincible.

bush's league of terrorists is spreading throughout Europe. How many thousands are there?

3. How can he say that?
It was proved beyond a shadow of a doubt that that's bogus yesterday. Unless he means he's willing to fight them in England so he doesn't have to fight them in the US. :shrug:

4. He just means "anywhere but here."
He faked the first attack, so he thought he could control the entire operation. But since his fakery turned into an unmitigated worldwide disaster, things aren't going the way he was told they would. So he's forced to use the only tired old talking points his trainers have taught him, and he's left to struggle to make the old points fit his new, ever-changing reality.

But basically, he's just clueless. "Over there" is anywhere but here. Allies included.

7. Nice guy
I wonder if it's okay if thousands die in New York as long as he doesn't have to fight terra in Texas.

Hey, wait...that already happened.

5. how many people
died or were seriously hurt in this London bombing? And the news focuses on how it will affect *. I wonder what all those people who grieved for our loss on 9/11 are thinking when they hear something so ballsy.

8. It is important to know how it affects bush.
If he is perceived as weakened, then he will be less able to push his agenda forward. That would be good for England, good for the U.S., good for the world.

It will also weaken PNAC's plans for empire. I guess their profits might help ease their sense of loss, though, the bastards.
