BUSH WARNS INSURGENTS FROM IRAQ WILL START FIGHTING IN PEORIA

Mr. Bush is constantly trying to scare American society with the slogan, "If we don't fight them over there, they will follow us home and fight us over here." The slogan is both laughable and dumb. As if some insurgent from Falluja is going to hop on a Delta flight, land in L.A., and start shooting.

This is dirty lying politics. However, it is the expression of a Rovian cynical strategy of trying to play to listeners' fears of having to deal with IEDs and suicide bombers in the streets of Peoria. The strategy is reprehensible, but Bush doesn't care about anything save his "legacy." And to think we have 20 more months of this war criminal.
