Wrong again: "No one questions the determination of the White House to fight terrorism"

the nyt has a bgo (blinding glimpse of the obvious)...

It is only now, nearly five years after Sept. 11, that the full picture of the Bush administration’s response to the terror attacks is becoming clear. Much of it, we can see now, had far less to do with fighting Osama bin Laden than with expanding presidential power.

Over and over again, the same pattern emerges: Given a choice between following the rules or carving out some unprecedented executive power, the White House always shrugged off the legal constraints. Even when the only challenge was to get required approval from an ever-cooperative Congress, the president and his staff preferred to go it alone.

but, once again, either deliberately, disingenuously, or under full sail of ignorance, it fails to make the next logical leap...

While no one questions the determination of the White House to fight terrorism, the methods this administration has used to do it have been shaped by another, perverse determination: never to consult, never to ask and always to fight against any constraint on the executive branch.

bushco does not and never has had any desire whatsoever to fight terrorism... terrorism is bushco's very, very best friend... it is entirely in the interests of the criminal gang that controls the white house and most of the rest of the united states government to continue to stoke the fears of the american people, and that means keeping terrorism alive and well... while it will be a dark day indeed when this truth finally dawns on americans, at least we will finally be able to see the full horror of those who have achieved a strangehold on everything that the u.s. stands for...
