Bush on vacation, Cheney equates Lamont to al Qaeda, terrorists caught

At Americablog, Joe in DC makes a good point:

In today's NY Times, Dick Cheney warned that the Lieberman loss would embolden "Al Qaeda types." It is reasonable to assume that Cheney, like Bush, knew about the unfolding scandal in Great Britain.

Think about this for a minute. It shows how evil the Bush/Cheney team really is. Knowing that this story was about to break, Cheney invoked Al Qaeda in purely political terms. Once again, Cheney is using terrorism for political purposes. The media should have laughed at him when he made his outrageous claim yesterday. Now, the media should be outraged. They were duped.

So Bush stays on vacation, Cheney goes on a political attack. Sums them up. Clearly, Cheney's motives were pure partisan politics. He choreographed his statements to be out there when this story broke. It's sick.

So, Bush remained on vacation even though he knew the terrorist plot was being uncovered and Cheney took advantage of it to make an idiotically false political point. What a team we've got leading us.

Of course, what the terror plot really proves is how badly the Bushies have screwed up. Just about everyone in the Muslim world wants to take revenge on Americans now.
