When a Bush Bot tells you that Bush is tough on terrorism...

[The Night Owl]

When a Bush Bot tells you that Bush is tough on terrorism, remind them that Bush did nothing to respond to the Cole bombing. They will say that the Cole bombing occurred during the Clinton administration. You can then let them know that blame for the Cole bombing was not established until Bush took office. At that point, the Bush Bot begins to short circuit. You may see sparks and smoke coming from the Bush Bot's head. Some facial features may show signs of melting. Do not be alarmed. Short circuiting and meltdown are common for Bush Bot's faced with irrefutable facts. They are not designed to be able to function beyond the very limited parameters set by programmers such as Rush Limbaugh, so don't expect them too. You may need to find another Bush Bot to argue with while the one you broke reboots.

1. Tell 'em Bush has played into the terrorists hands over and over again

1. Bush was told bin Laden was getting ready to hit America, but did nothing.

2. Bin Laden attacked us on our own soil, killing 3,000 people, and Bush failed to bring him to justice.

3. Bush had bin Laden cornered in Tora Bora, but let him walk away.

4. Bin Laden warned his followers that America was out to take over Arab states. Bush made the prediction come true.

5. Bin Laden wanted to splinter the West, pitting old allies against each other. Bush went right along with the plan.

6. Bin Laden boasted he would "cleanse the Islamic holy land of infidels." Bush complied by ordering US forces out of Saudi Arabia and urging Americans to flee the Saudi peninsula.

7. Bin Landen boasted he could bring down a superpower just like Russia in Afghanistan. Bush has us bogged down in Iraq, unable to get control despite all our military strength.

George W. Bush is the best thing that ever happened to Osama bin Laden. There's no question bin Laden benefits if Bush is re-elected: four more years of America playing into the terrorists' hands at every turn.

2. He let 9/11 happen, what could be worse than that?

8/6/01 PDB: Bin Laden Determined to Strike in U.S.

[sui generis]

3. and a couple more things

1. ask them where Osama is
2. ask them why we didn't invade Saudi Arabia, where the terrorists came from
3. ask them why he let a couple of guys with box cutters bring down the WTC after he got a memo and intel that said it could happen
4. ask them why there is a tenfold increase in terror organization enrollments since he decided to unilaterally invade Iraq for nonexistent weapons of mass destruction.

If he's so tough on terror - why is there so much of it?

4. Ask why they have blown every investigation

and there have been no trials of any terrorists.
In fact the only terrrorists they claim to have caught have been freed due to incompetency on the part of Asscroft.

5. ask them why our ports are still unprotected -

there are only random inspections of containers - many, no most are not inspected at all.

[Disturbed]

6. Programmed response is...

America has not been attacked since 911. Proof that w has kept us safe.

[MisterP]

7. of course, once the October Surprise hits, they'll do a 180

and say "we HAVE to get behind the Chimperor, we were attacked!"

[The Night Owl]

9. Attacks on US soil have always been years apart.

That there has not been an attack in the US since 9/11 is meaningless.

8. just laugh in his face. Say "You're kidding, right?" and

walk away laughing.

10. We are LOSING the war on terror

in both fronts in the war on terror, iraq and afgahnistan, we're retreating, giving up ground, and getting show.

so how is it again that bush is so great?
