Well, isn't that CONVENIENT Redux

You knew it was going to happen. First the AWOL story comes back to the forefront. Then talk that the Kitty Kelley book about the Bush family talks about the Boy Chimp doing coke at Camp David. Then the 1000th American casualty.



So what's a beleagured incompetent president to do?



PLAY THE FEAR CARD AGAIN!!



Yes, folks, it's time once again to send Tom Ridge out to frighten the children:

Terrorists still hope to disrupt the U.S. democratic process even though the presidential nominating conventions and other high-profile gatherings this summer went off without incident, Homeland Security Secretary Tom Ridge said Tuesday.



Threat reporting over the last several months has been "consistent, general and credible" and indicated the al-Qaida network is trying to push ahead with its plans, Ridge said.

"If you hold elections, the terrorists win!" -- the Bush Administration, figuring this is the best way to stave off any chance at defeat in November.
