Bush revamps message on terror fight

<snip>

WASHINGTON - In the thick of an election campaign, President Bush has revived and retooled his argument that the U.S. must fight terrorists overseas or face them here. Despite the unpopularity of the Iraq war, some GOP candidates are borrowing Bush's line.

"We leave before the mission is done, the terrorists will follow us here," Bush warned at a news conference this week.

Rep. Curt Weldon (news, bio, voting record), R-Pa., locked in a tight Philadelphia-area re-election race, went a step further. "We either fight them there, or we fight them in the supermarkets and streets here," he said Wednesday in an interview with CNN.

Bush is not on the ballot this midterm election year. But control of the GOP-led Congress is. So the elections could determine the fate of what's left of Bush's second-term agenda.

The fight-them-there theme has been part of Bush's national security stump speech since 2003. But the "follow us here" part is a relatively new twist.

1. "Fight them in the supermarkets..."????

How endangered is Weldon the Worm now? Please let him return to the private sector where he can inflict less harm.

[Sherman A1]

27. Yes, we are fighting them in the supermarkets

It's called continuous and large price increases from the ripple effect of the increases in energy costs due to our great leadership in D.C.

[Dover]

2. We already ARE fighting them here, in the supermarkets and streets

and most importantly in the White House, Congress, on K Street and Wall St. We WILL continue this fight on our own turf until they are all in jail.

[Lerkfish]

3. what? like a stalking jilted lover? They want us to stay and kill them or

they'll start killing us?

only in neocon propaganda logic does that work.

[Philosoraptor]

4. Damn! one of em' followed me home from walmart.

I called homeland security

[TheFriedPiper]

39. That's what you get for shopping at walmart

walmart is a danger to our national security

[EFerrari]

5. What can terrorists do to us that Junior hasn't already done? n/t

[magellan]

6. If fighting them over there keeps them over there

...then we don't need domestic wiretapping, airport security, etc, do we?

Fight them in the supermarkets -- bwahahaha! :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[ima_sinnic]

9. wtf is with this "supermarkets" schtick? omg--a jihadist in produce! (nt)

[leftchick]

14. nope it was an insurgent in aisle five!

:rofl:

[magellan]

22. That's not an insurgent, it's a canteloupe!!

Run away, run away! The canteloupes are coming, and they're gonna kill us all with the tiny spoons we use to scoop their guts out!!

:rofl: :rofl:

34. Well, the scientists were responsible for the killer tomatoes

But the Republiks are responsible for the killer canteloupes!

[shain from kane]

46. War on Science started after attack on 7/11. n/t

[xchrom]

7. it's stuff like this that makes me a LIHOPer.

hey -- bush -- they followed you into office!

i mean so many people KNEW the the terrorists were going to do something and something big with airplanes -- it's a queston of who DIDN'T know.

bush -- you didn't do your fuckin job in the FIRST place -- and now your are threatening us with more?

just so you can get your war on?

puh-leez, motherfucker, go away.

[ima_sinnic]

8. the "terror card" did not work in Spain right after the Madrid bombing

--oh, and by the way, despite their hand-wringing and teeth-gnashing, it appears that Spain has NOT "gone Islam."

[rock]

10. Shhh! Be very quiet.

We don't want them to know where we are. Let's just stay hunkered down between Mexico and Canada.

[ima_sinnic]

18. BWAHAHA!! good one!

in fact, I wish I could squeeze that onto a bumper sticker!
:toast:

[mwb970]

11. This is almost too stupid to comment on.

"We leave before the mission is done, the terrorists will follow us here," Bush warned at a news conference this week.

This appears to have no meaning whatsoever. Follow us home? Like they don't know where we are already? What is it about tying up our entire military in Iraq that stops terrorists from coming to America and attacking our supermarkets, but only as long as we stay there? Would a terrorist from, say, Venezuela have to travel to Iraq and break through a line of scrimmage there before he could return to America and blow up a Piggly Wiggly? But if we leave Iraq, then he could go straight to the supermarket without the side trip? This makes no sense.

The whole "over there, over here" meme is so unspeakably stupid it's hard to believe anyone takes it seriously.

[ima_sinnic]

16. yes, really. wouldn't it make more sense to attack us when our

military is elsewhere? :shrug: :wtf:

is he saying, "they" target ONLY soldiers and will go where the soldiers go? they're, like, confrontational? they "follow" the people with the guns and ammunition? what a dumbfuck!!

[ProfessorGAC]

40. That Is My Take, As Well

It would seem that since they know where the United States is, and our military is fighting them "over there", then coming here NOW would be the most effective thing.

But, i think the issue in Iraq is one of THEM wanting US out of THEIR country. If we leave, they will get what they want, and there would be no reason to follow us here.

[bronxiteforever]

12. Iraqis were not part of 9/11!

I don't know am I missing something here?:shrug:

[genie_weenie]

13. Yes. this will work

This is just the next step of the Fight-Them-There instead of here bull...

[H2O Man]

15. I don't think so.

I think the public is waking up. I think that things like the inability of this administration to catch Usama bin Laden "dead or alive" will hurt those associated with Bush. The CNN program last night ("In the Footsteps of Osama bin Laden") helps by putting to rest the myths that bin Laden is {a} a madman who "hates us for our freedoms," or (b} a puppet created by American intelligence.

In "Imperial Hubris," Michael Scheuer quoted Ayman al-Zawahiri: "We thank God for appeasing us with the dilemma in Iraq after Afghanistan. The Americans are facing a delicate situation in both countries. If they withdraw they will lose everything and if they stay, they will continue to bleed to death." (page xxi) It is difficult to imagine an administration that could serve our nation's interests worse than the Bush-Cheney group.

[Quakerfriend]

20. Very well said, H2O Man. And, I have to agree with you after

watching CNN last night.

("In the Footsteps of Osama bin Laden") helps by putting to rest the myths that bin Laden is {a} a madman who "hates us for our freedoms," or (b} a puppet created by American intelligence.

I said to my husband re:OBL, "He seems to be a very rational, thinking guy and there is a lot of truth in what he says".

[GeorgeGist]

43. Well except for his...

religious insanity you might be right.

[madokie]

17. Let 'em follow us back here, I believe we can hold our own

then our sons and daughters, mothers and fathers will be home where they belong.

[Waya]

23. Exactly.......

We could hold our own, alright. And the 'terrorists' know it. They know damn good and well that they couldn't 'beat' us here.
Nope, they got us right where they want us - on their own turf, where they know every nook and cranny and where time is a factor for us but not for them.
They got all the time in the world to pick us off, one by one - ask the Russians - took Afghanistan 10 years - but they did it, bit by bit, one by one......

[madokie]

28. So very true

[ima_sinnic]

19. what happened to "bring it on," you desperate little slug?

scraping the barrel bottom much?

what a cowardly little wussy-@$$!

[zbdent]

21. It will be amazing how the "terrorists" will follow us wherever we go

I mean, there will be terrorists if we invade Iraq ... there will be terrorists if we invade Cuba ... there will be terrorists if we invade country X who never had any terrorist ties before (but has oil) ...

It's the new strategy to try to call anybody who resists Bush's world domination plans as "terrorists" ... including a person who has lived their entire lives in the same house who doesn't want it destroyed by the invading/occupying force ...

[dogman]

24. We should have the troops return via Antarctica.

Then the terrorists can be intercepted before they get here. They will go in to shock from the cold and be clearly visible on the all white background. Thank God they can't read maps or books and find out that America sits in the middle of the North American continent.

Just turn left at Greenland...

[MADem]

25. Well, if they do that, then he's FAILED to secure the borders!!!

He can't win that one...no matter how he slices it (like the German state dinner pig) it still comes back to one thing: he's a fuckup.

[patricia92243]

26. So, if we stay in Iraq. we are absolutely guaranteed that no other terrori

terrorist from any other part of the world will ever attack us? Do I understand this correctly????

Sounds like a pretty good deal. Just think of the money we would save - no more money AT ALL would have to be spent on national security. I assume that would mean everything from the Department of HOMELAND security, all the safety precautions on airlines, ships, less money spent on policeman, fireman, etc. - actually it is amazing the money we would save. That does not even count the comfort of knowing we are safe and sound.

This IS what Bush is telling us. Right?

:sarcasm:

[liberal N proud]

29. SOS - Same OLD Story - just different words

It is the same line as Fight them over there so we don't fight them here. IF these lines had any grip, there would not have been the faux terror threats and we could walk on an airplane with the same items as before.

[RedStateShame]

30. Why stop there?

Why not just say, "The al Qaeda is hiding in your closet, and if the Democrats win in November, they'll come out while you sleep." And, starting today, all White House press conferences should be held in the dark, with Bush speaking with a flashlight under his face.

[Strelnikov_]

32. The 'Pied Piper' Theory Of Fighting Terra

Leave it to Chimp to develop a strategy based on a folk tale.

[shain from kane]

35. He read that one last week. "Is our children learning?"

[PaDem]

33. Are people really this stupid??

Sadly the answer is yes. I do think that perhaps enough people are waking up that we may be able to atleast begin to end this madness in November.

[TheFriedPiper]

41. Yes, they are that stupid

have you seen the ratings for American Idol?

have you seen the sales figures on SUVs?

have you seen the sales of country 'music'?

have you seen the amount of churches STILL packed with believers?

our culture is controlled by morons because morons outnumber us

[Buns_of_Fire]

36. "He followed me home, Mommy. Can I keep him?"

:eyes:

[lectrobyte]

38. Like they don't know where America is without following C-17's back

here? Not everyone is as ignorant of geography as you are, Mr. Bush.

[Vinca]

42. Lock the door Grandma.

If losing your medication in the donut hole doesn't kill you, Osama will. Give it a rest, Georgie. Give it a rest.

[intaglio]

44. Oh boy both Curt Weldon and the Bushmeister

are both trying to do a "Churchill"

Rep. Weldon does this quote ring a bell? "We shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets. We shall fight in the hills. We shall never surrender."

and to the frat boy I would add check out this quote from Churchill "To jaw-jaw is always better than to war-war."

Then to us all remember the following truth about politicians from the psalm 55:21 "The words of his mouth were smoother than butter, but war was in his heart: his words were softer than oil, yet were they drawn swords."

[Junkdrawer]

45. Absolutely! Most victims stalk their muggers after a mugging...

Happens ALL the time. :sarcasm:

[Cocoa]

47. bring the troops home to guard the supermarkets!
