"I understand there are some in America who say, 'Well this can't be true, there aren't still people willing to attack.' All I would ask them to do is listen to the words of Osama bin Laden and take him seriously," Bush said at the National Security Agency.
"When he says he's going to hurt the American people again or try to, he means it. I take it seriously and the people of NSA take it seriously and most of the American people take it seriously as well," Bush said.
If I might be allowed to interpret this for you gentle readers.
"Look, we are at war! Bin Laden wants to kill us! Therefore I should be allowed to break the law as often as I see fit. And to take away your civil rights just so long as I continue to tell you scary bedtime stories to keep you frightened and docile."
I have no problem believing that Bin Laden would love to pull off another attack here in America. And if he does it will not be because we did not allow King George to run roughshod over our privacy rights. It will be because Bush wasted our military might settling a vendetta with Saddam Hussein instead of running this maniac to the ground and capturing or killing him once and for all.
If we are attacked again the fault lies solely on the shoulders of George W Bush and don't you forget it.
Over at Hardball ( which I might have to start calling softballs) Tweety was explaining that Bush went over to the NSA to boost morale- because they are feeling the "heat"...Oh, really...well, ain't that something- so I guess his visit to the Gestapo that he created is susposed to reassure all of us? or was it more a warning- you know that Intimidation thing...gee, I hope he stopped and visited his goons over at Pentagon also, and also the Homeland Security Goons, and Muellers Goons, I mean ALL of them must be soooo forlorn and feeling unloved and gee hated. Fine let him go reassure his goons, we all know that isn't going to save him or his corrupt cronies...
