GREEN BAY, Wis. - President Bush said Thursday that a foiled plot to blow up multiple flights between Britain and the United States shows "this nation is at war with Islamic fascists."So, are they more pleased that the UK was on the ball, and saved lives? Or are they more pleased that they have a new boogeyman? Elections are coming. Get ready for the drum beat.
"This country is safer than it was prior to 9-11," Bush said from the airport tarmac here where he was appearing at events focused on the economy. "We've taken a lot of measures to protect the American people but obviously we're not completely safe. ... It is a mistake to believe there is no threat to the United States of America."
The president laid the blame for the would-be attack squarely on al-Qaida-type terrorism.
"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," he said, his remarks carried live on television.
"Terrorists. 9/11. The UK Plot. Terrorists. 9/11. The UK Plot. Terrorists. 9/11. The UK Plot."
Never mind that, yet again, Bush knew days in advance and didn't do a goddamn thing.
Gotta love that advertisement placement, too.
