You'd almost think this is the terrorism equivalent of a horse's head in the bed
Posted by Jill | 7:06 AM
Remember that infamous scene from The Godfather when movie producer Jack Woltz woke up with the bloody severed head of his prize racehorse in his bed, placed there as a warning by the Corleone family after he refused to give Johnny Fontaine a movie role?

After years of having Tony Blair as his own personal valet, George W. Bush now has to deal with Gordon Brown. Brown has been a supporter of the Iraq War, but there's no guarantee that he's the kind of true believer in the PNAC neocon agenda that Blair was. So it's just perhaps a bit too convenient for George Bush that a car packed with fuel was found in London's West End early this morning.

However, it's worth noting that ABC News reported 11 days ago that the Taliban -- remember the Taliban -- the guys in Afghanistan we supposedly defeated before detouring to Iraq? -- had trained and dispatched teams of suicide bombers to the U.S. and Europe. If this morning's find is, in fact, just the first of many attacks to come, we will no doubt hear from not just the Bush Administration, but also from Rudy Giuliani, who despite putting his command center in the World Trade Center AFTER the 1993 attacks, is blaming Bill Clinton for 9/11, that only Republicans can keep us safe. With one major attack and perhaps teams of suicide bombers roaming the U.S. under their belts, Republicans have a very difficult case to make. Especially since the perpetrators of the 1993 attack were found, tried in legitimate American courts, convicted, and imprisoned, whereas Osama Bin Laden is not only still at large, but the unit put together to apprehend him was closed by the Bush administration. The Bush family always does take care of its friends.
