Bush sees terrorism war ‘for years to come’
AP
Excerpt:
The work going on here really is indicative of the challenge we face, not only this week, but this year and the years to come,” in the global war on terrorism sparked by the September 11, 2001 attacks, said Bush.
The president, suffering in the polls because of sky-high gas prices and the unpopular war in Iraq, was on the second day of a week-long push on national security and the economy, two critical issues in the November 7 vote.
Democrats, however, have charged that Bush’s decision to attack Iraq diverted precious resources from the broader global war on terrorism, and sharply criticized him for failing to capture or kill Al-Qaeda chief Osama bin Laden.
“Today the president once again tried to convince Americans that he’s taken all the steps necessary to keep them safe. Unfortunately, the facts of the last five years aren’t that convincing,” said Senate Democratic Minority Leader Harry Reid.
H.L.s Take:
This AP story was originally titles “Bush Sees No End in Terror War” but once again the Bush licking media softened it up a bit for him.
I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again. You can not fight a war against an idea. As long as there is a pissed off person with a gun, terror and violence will happen, it’s human nature. You can spend all the money you want trying to stop the people you pissed off from fighting back but it will never work. But then again the Bush family does not get rich off Peace, and Cheap gasoline do they??? They MUST have war to keep it going.
