"Playing into bin-Laden's Hand - ''We're Fighting Them There, So We Don't Have to Fight Them Here''"

This is one of those little bushisms that was always a jaw-dropper to my ears.

I have always wondered why someone in the press didn't ask: Are you off your meds, Mr. President?

"We're fighting them there, so we don't have to fight them here.' That is a favorite Republican nonreason-reason for continuing toward infinity with the war in Iraq. Never mind the war is lumbering on toward four long years now. Forget too, that what Republicans advocate when repeating that tired sound bite designed to prevent any real discussion from occurring, is that we must 'stay the' same failed 'course'.

September 11, 2001, was merely the method and means by which bin-Laden tricked Bush and Republicans into fighting a war on his terms.
