BUSH COORDINATING WAR ON TERROR WITH ELECTION


So, THAT'S why the terror alert level always goes up when the junta drops in the polls!


The Daily Mis-lead



In the
months after the tragic attacks of 9/11, pResident Bush told the
American people that he had “no ambition whatsoever to use [the War on
Terror] as a political issue.”[1] But according to a new report, the
Bush Administration is now demanding that international allies
coordinate the arrest of al Qaeda terrorists to coincide with key U.S.
political events, so as to maximize political benefits for Bush.



According
to the New Republic, top Pakistani intelligence officials have
confirmed that the Bush Administration is demanding the Pakistani
government find as many “high value” terrorist targets specifically
before Americans go to the polls in November. By contrast, no similar
urgent push or “timetable” was discussed in 2002 or 2003. Even more
troubling, Pakistani sources admit White House aides told the Pakistani
Director of Intelligence that “it would be best if the arrest or
killing of [any high value terrorist target] were announced on
twenty-six, twenty-seven, or twenty-eight July” – the first three days
of the Democratic National Convention in Boston.[2]



The
report calls into question whether key military decisions were affected
by similar political motivations during the last three years. For
instance, during 2002 and 2003 when al Qaeda was regrouping along the
Afghanistan-Pakistan border, the Bush administration refused calls to
seriously increase operations there. Only in March of 2004 – once the
Presidential election campaign had begun — did the President finally
announce “stepped up efforts” in Afghanistan to find bin Laden.[3]
