Who Most Threatens America?
August 31, 2006
Who Most Threatens America?
by Ron Fullwood

There have been no major acts of terror outside of Iraq which can be attributed to the 'enemies' that can be identified in Bush's congressional war authorization as the 'perpetrators of the 9-11 attacks'. Just who are we at war with in Bush's rhetorical war on terror? If the Bush regime is at war with those they hold responsible for the collapse of the World Trade Towers, then it is truly a stealth war. Bush never mentions bin-Laden's name anymore, even though he began his 'hunt' in 2001 demanding his apprehension, "dead or alive.' A few months back, the special office that was tasked with the capture of Osama bin-Laden was closed, eliminated, without any hint of a replacement effort.

The hunt for bin-Laden and his accomplices has been folded into Bush's dual-fronted adventures in imperialism. Or, maybe it's been outsourced to Pakistan or to some band of nomad tribesmen like the Bush regime did in Tora Bora, back when bin-Laden himself must have been preparing for his afterlife and certain martyrdom . . . until Bush veered off to Iraq. When Bush decided to invade and occupy Iraq there was no threat from that country to the United States.

Bush, July 2004:
"We have not found stockpiles of weapons of mass destruction"
"Iraq did not have the weapons that our intelligence believed were there"

Bush in August, 2006:
Q: What did Iraq have to do with that?
Bush: What did Iraq have to do with what?
Q: The attack on the World Trade Center?
Bush: Nothing ....

3. Christian Fundamentalists who are already in this country
Their number one goal: to destroy the constitution and replace it with the bible. And they use the constitution everyday to protect them as they plan their path towards a theocracy. bush is somewhat right, "we" will have to fight the enemy here. Never mind, that the religiously insane in this country have to pick and choose in the bible the things that justify their hate and discard the things that are quite inconvenient for them.

They are the number one domestic enemy of the constitution today.
