Bush seeks political gains from foiled plot
Excerpt:
CRAWFORD, United States (AFP) - US President George W. Bush seized on a foiled London airline bomb plot to hammer unnamed critics he accused of having all but forgotten the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks.
Weighed down by the unpopular war in Iraq, Bush and his aides have tried to shift the national political debate from that conflict to the broader and more popular global war on terrorism ahead of November 7 congressional elections.
The London conspiracy is “a stark reminder that this nation is at war with Islamic fascists who will use any means to destroy those of us who love freedom, to hurt our nation,” the president said on a day trip to Wisconsin.
“It is a mistake to believe there is no threat to the United States of America,” he said. “We’ve taken a lot of measures to protect the American people. But obviously we still aren’t completely safe.”
His remarks came a day after the White House orchestrated an exceptionally aggressive campaign to tar opposition Democrats as weak on terrorism, knowing what Democrats didn’t: News of the plot could soon break.
AFP to fever swamp: It’s all a conspiracy.
BizzyBlog to AFP and the rest of the WORMs (Worn-Out Reactionary Media, known to most as the formerly Mainstream Media) — Who in the White House besides a very few of President Bush’s closest advisers could possibly have known that the arrests in London COULD (operative word) come? And what evidence do you have that they did anything political with the info? I know — like the fever swamp, you don’t need any stinking evidence. You and the rest of the WORMs just make it up, along with the “manipulated but not doctored” (last item at link) fauxtography, the “Green Helmet Guy” staging, sympathetic interviews with madmen, and all the rest. Bleep you — and your little stringers too.
