[ck4829]

While Bush was going on about the campaign against Islamic Terrorism, speaking about some of the successes (Some of which have been debunked), he forgets about the OTHER type of terrorism.

Four Right Wing Terrorist Plots were stopped and/or resolved with the Criminal Justice system in the last year alone. Why does Bush stay silent on this?
