Appeasement in Our Time


Another Team Bush concession to bin Laden: ten years ago he demanded oil be priced at $144 dollars a barrel.

It's as if he had Shrub and Cheney in his back pocket.

And, somewhat related...isn't it about time some journalist ASKED whether or not Rethuglicans really want to stop terrorism? You know, a strong case could be made for "NO," starting with the fact that fear of terrorism has been THE central focus of the GOP for the last eight years, justifying $1 trillion dollars for war, the trashing of the Constitution, etc. etc.

And I haven't even mentioned Charlie Black.

Maybe the Rove playbook should be used AGAINST him...that is, hit their perceived strength. The GOP has no vested interest in stopping terrorism...in fact, stopping terrorism would badly hurt them politically. Perhaps the public should be made aware of that fact.
