Terrorism to Boost Bush’s Ratings..

(I told you it wouldn’t be long before I had something to say about our side of the pond…)

It seems that a recent memo, circulating among senior republican leaders, is suggesting that a new terror attack on U.S. soil could halt the decline in Bush’s support and “restore his image as a leader of the American people.”

The memo actually lays out a list of scenarios that could bring the republican party back from the brink of political demise, including a devastating terror attack that could “validate” the President’s pet project (err, I mean “war on terror”), and allow Bush to “unite the country” in a “time of national shock and sorrow.”

…I love this…

Other republicans, however, worry that such a scenario carries high risk, pointing out that an attack might suggest the President has not done enough to protect the country.

High risk?  …ya think?

…and people wonder why I’m frightened of this country’s leadership, as a whole.
