Our president is such a maroon,* but a dangerous one nonetheless

to me, this is simply a measure of the desperation of bush and his criminal compadres... their fear-mongering tactics are being greeted with eye-rolling and extended sighs at every turn, so they have to escalate, which, true to form, means playing fast and loose with the truth... it's the same dynamic you see with parents and their children when threats are used as a means to control behavior... unless threats are consistently carried out, they quickly become meaningless which leads to more and more dire threats which, of course, quickly become meaningless too...

Speaking to about 300 troops at Charleston Air Force Base, Bush said that Al Qaeda in Iraq was essentially the same organization that attacked the U.S. on Sept. 11, 2001, and that it was by far the biggest threat facing Iraqis and U.S.-led coalition troops there. Bush said that its leaders took orders from Al Qaeda officials coordinating the organization's worldwide jihad, or holy war, and that they would be killing civilians somewhere else if they were not in Iraq.

"Those who justify withdrawing our troops from Iraq by denying the threat of Al Qaeda in Iraq and its ties to Osama bin Laden ignore the clear consequences of such a retreat," Bush said. "If we were to follow their advice, it would be dangerous for the world and disastrous for America.

"Here's the bottom line," he said. "Al Qaeda in Iraq is run by foreign leaders loyal to Osama bin Laden. Like Bin Laden, they are coldblooded killers who murder the innocent to achieve Al Qaeda's political objectives.

"Yet despite all the evidence, some will tell you that Al Qaeda in Iraq is not really Al Qaeda and not really a threat to America," the president continued. "Well, that's like watching a man walk into a bank with a mask and a gun and saying's he's probably just there to cash a check."

my concern with the daily escalation of threats like this is, as paul craig roberts recently warned, the compulsion to turn them into reality, as the final tactic in convincing us they're genuine, may eventually become too much to resist...
