"Staying on the offense"
How can this administration continue to say that we're "taking the fight to the enemy so we don't have to fight them here" even after these attacks in London? Why does nobody question this "logic"? And the enemy wasn't in Iraq. They now say the TERRORISTS have chosen to make Iraq the central front on the "war on terror." That's ANOTHER lie. WE chose to invade Iraq and THEN the terrorists came in to kill our soldiers and innocent Iraqis. WE made Iraq the "central front on the war on terror," not the terrorists! How can Bush supporters not see this???

1. Because technically it is still over there
Even though England is not in the ME and they are 'white' and it is not the US. So it still hasn't happened over here - since 9/11 that is.

3. Yeah, that sounds like Bush's "logic"
But when it DOES happen here he will probably keep repeating the same line, that we HAVE to keep fighting them there so we won't have to fight them here anymore. And people will believe him. And maybe he'll even get people rallying around him and he'll start his BS about how he's gonna git 'em. The flags will come back out and his approval will "soar" above 45%! But still, why has nobody questioned him about his claim that the TERRORISTS chose to make Iraq the central front on the "war on terror"?

4. No - the tag line will change - and the MSM will pick it up
without batting an eyelash about the missing logic that was the cause for so much bloodshed. And I'm sure they (the RNC, Rove etc) have thought of this and have done focus groups or push polls about what slogan to use next if another attack were to occur here.

We need to be the memory of the nation so this does not slink down the big black hole.
