Bush is relaxing on the ranch in Crawford Texas. He reassures the American people he is on the job and receiving daily security briefings. Can we see the similarity here?
August 6, 2001 Bush was handed a security briefing with a memo in it that read "Bin Laden determined to attack the United States". He ignored it and a little over a month later we saw the landscape of New York drastically change forever. Four years later and Bush is back at the place of his ignorance.
Today we received yet another warning from Al-Qaeda threatening more attacks and a war that will make us quickly "forget Vietnam". While Bush is on vacation, Osama is in preparation. We are given the cold hard reminder that the person who did attack us on September 11 is still on the loose and the person who did not attack us is in custody. Where is the logic in that? Osama runs free while Saddam gets attacked in a court room.
Hopefully Bush will pay more attention to the security briefings, but I have a feeling that he won't. He will continue to ignore them and milk his horse while playing cowboy. We have never had a war time President that takes vacations like this bozo does. Now we have two wars. Perhaps he feels one war cancels out the other so he is entitled to vacationing!
The count down is going from al Qaedas warning to Europe to get out of the Middle East. They have a little over two weeks left before the August 15 deadline expires.
Hopefully history will not repeat that much, but you get a funny feeling it just might!
