Rick Santorum 'joins' Dennis "all we need is some attacks on American soil" Milligan
"You know, I’ve talked to all three of the major candidates, that I think will be the major candidates, and that’s Giuliani, Romney and Thompson. I think those will be the three major candidates when we head into the final analysis. And I think all of them understand the issue very, very well, they understand particularly the importance of Iran, and confronting Iran in the Middle East as an absolute lynchpin for our success in that region, and I think they are committed to that. And while it may not be a popular thing to talk about right now, and I know public sentiment is against it, they understand the importance of the national security of this country, and they also understand that between now and November, a lot of things are going to happen, and I believe that by this time next year, the American public’s going to have a very different view of this war, and it will be because, I think, of some unfortunate events, that like we’re seeing unfold in the UK. But I think the American public’s going to have a very different view, and part of it will be the education that these three men will be imparting on the American public during the course of this campaign."

“In his first interview as the chairman of the Arkansas Republican Party, Dennis Milligan told a reporter that America needs to be attacked by terrorists so that people will appreciate the work that President Bush has done to protect the country. ‘At the end of the day, I believe fully the president is doing the right thing, and I think all we need is some attacks on American soil like we had on (Sept. 11, 2001),’ Milligan said to the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette, ‘and the naysayers will come around very quickly to appreciate not only the commitment for President Bush, but the sacrifice that has been made by men and women to protect this country’.”

3. An attack on the USA would only serve to once again illustrate the incompetence of Bush & Co.
Even Kafka would get a headache from their logic.

5. I thought that way on 9/11
It's funny how the media can change our perception of reality.

6. 88% after 911
Edited on Sat Jul-07-07 10:16 AM by CGowen
Bush's current job approval rating stands at 34%, compared with a positive rating of 88% soon after 9/11, 50% at this time last year, and 40% in August. (Nov 2005)

12. On Sept. 10 Bush's ratings were in the 40's.
I remember when I heard about the ratings on the radio. I thought "Imagine how low his ratings will be in a year".

4. At this point, people are afraid the gov't will stage an attack.....
Just to make Rick Santorum's dreams come true. (And those like him). I wouldn't put it past this administration, and I don't think I'm alone in my thinking.

7. A 2nd "terra-ist attack" would make them look totally incompetent (not that they've
ever seemed to mind be seen as incompetent).

10. When the Democrats take the White House, Republicans will be praying for a big terror attack
They'll be on their knees, saying "O please, Lord! Let us get hit really bad! I don't care how many people get killed, so long as it hurts the Democrats."

That's how much the Right loves America.

11. Damn him to hell....
'If we didn’t learn anything from the events of 9/11, certainly the Islamists’ attempts of attacking our European allies, particularly the UK, should give us some pause that these people will prey on weakness. They saw the transition of power from Tony Blair to Gordon Brown, and they saw the appeasement of the Brits of trying to, you know, get out of the Middle East and get the troops withdrawn. And so what was their response? They stepped up their terror attacks. I mean, you have to understand, they don’t think like we do. They don’t see people reaching out saying let’s work and compromise, and let’s try to find meaningful middle ground as anything but weakness. They will exploit that weakness by going after you.'


What a bastard. How DARE he try to use a failed terrorism plot in the UK to sneer at us for not totally going along with Bush's insanity?

But then he probably thinks that absolutely everyone deserves to be blown up by terrorists for not getting him re-elected as senator.
