Bush pushing Bin Laden-based fear so that we will not protest the war this Memorial Day
This weekend a lot of us will take time to remember our fallen and currently deployed troops. Bush is stooping to new lows by trying to scare us with "terra- stories". Bin Laden this and Bin Laden that. It's all bull shit. He's trying to keep us scared so that we will not question his actions and the deaths of nearly 3500 US troops in theatre. This is low and a slap in the face of all of those who serve, fight, and pay the ultimate price.

How long can he use "terra stories" and when will he have to use another "terra attack"?

9/11 is fading from the front pages, when will he use another attack to harden the resolve of the sheeple and reinforce his power? He has already insititued an Executive Order that gives him totalitarian control over the other branches of government.

He is ready for the next attack, are we?

1. Tough shit. He wasn't "concerned" about him before.
This morning CNN opened with this story and they said he lacks the credibility to even PUSH this. They referred to the NIE.

2. Bush's Executive Orders might not be what he thinks they are:
The true view of the executive function is...that the President can exercise no power, which cannot be reasonably and fairly traced to some specific grant of power or justly implied or included within such express grant as necessary and proper to its exercise. Such specific grant must be either in the Constitution or in an act of Congress passed pursuant thereof. There is no undefined residuum of power, which he can exercise because it seems to him to be in the public interest.

3. It's simple. "You wanna fight Al Qaeda? Keep the troops in Iraq."
That's all it is. It's transparent, it's crude, and it's gonna work, because the Dems are gonna fund the war in Iraq out of a fear of being blamed for losing the war against Al Qaeda and related things.
