Bush Used Terror Plot for Political Points

...and he compromised it in the process. NBC News is reporting that President Bush was so anxious to change the national discussion from his failed wars and policies he forced the British to bust the terror plot suspects before they were finished with the investigation. As a result many of the operatives have evaded capture.

The plot to blow up ten airliners required at least 50 potential terrorists but only 21 were arrested. Bush needed to play the fear card again so he made them jump earlier than they wished. He is using terror for political purposes and should be impeached.

This is why no one believes his bullshit tactics any longer.

In contrast to previous reports, the official suggested an attack was not imminent, saying the suspects had not yet purchased any airline tickets. In fact, some did not even have passports.

I hate to say I told you so. I told you so. This was all politics.
