Til I Gain Control Again

Once again Robert Dreyfuss slays the dragons of...
Ok, a bit too dramatic.
Take 2...
Robert Dreyfuss once agains hits the nail on the head as he...
Uh, no!
Take 3...
Check out what Robert Dreyfuss has to say about what Kerry should say about Bush's terror warnings instead of the I trust the president is honest line and the leaving it to Howard Dean stuff.
---------------------------------------
My guess, for what’s it worth, is that the public is fed up with these nonsensical terror alerts, and that the public would buy a nuanced statement from Kerry—a la Dean’s but with a caveat or two—suggesting that the president is playing politics. Here are the outlines: “Bush tried to find Osama bin Laden and failed, went into Afghanistan, and bungled it… Then he attacked Iraq and lied about the reasons why, meanwhile getting more terrorists mad at us and diverting resources from finding bin Laden… His intelligence on Al Qaeda is so bad that even four-year-old surveillance reports seem like news, but the Bush administration has no idea what Al Qaeda has been doing since 9/11… He is constantly scaring us with alarms, but the truth is he has no idea if or when Al Qaeda might attack us.. He lied about WMD, so why wouldn’t he lie about terrorism? The truth is, President Bush is afraid that Al Qaeda might hit us in the next three months, so he’s inoculating us against it, so voters don’t blame him, as they should, for failing to roll up Al Qaeda. For this, we should re-elect him?”
