"Neo-Con Madmen Strike Again

Didn't work for me. I'm not scared, are you?

The Progressive Daily Beacon: "Neo-Con Madmen Strike Again - The London Fear Frenzy":

The Neo-Cons strike again! Unabashed in their fascist-like lust for power the Bush administration began on Wednesday, an all out assault on the Democratic Party's patriotism and willingness to defend the American people from terrorists. Nothing new there! Questioning their political 'enemy's' love of country is after all, what Republicans do best. This time; however, the Neo-Con madmen had an ace-in-the-hole: Tony Blair had made them privy to a soon-to-be announced terrorist plot. And Bush, Rove, and Republicans used that information -- while simultaneously concealing it from Democrats and the nation -- as the basis for their dastardly attack on the Democratic Party's commitment to protecting the country's citizens. Democrats, according to Bush and Republicans, like to see America's women and children slaughtered...that is how they get their kicks.

Well before Wednesday the administration was aware of Britain's plans to launch a raid against a possible terror plot. In an unusual move, Cheney, while vacationing at his Wyoming Ranch, had arranged a phone conference with reporters. This was something the Vice President was loathe to do during the Katrina massacre, but quick to do in order to gain possible political traction by attacking Democrats' love of country and, too, to seize an opportunity to instill a little fear in the American electorate. Everyone knows nothing works better for Republicans during an election year than baseless attacks upon Democrats' patriotism and scaring the people.
