Terror and Turbulence Will Follow Bush Into His Reelection Year
Thursday, Aug. 21, 2003
Tony Karon

Two days after the September 11 attacks, President Bush declared that "whipping terrorism, hunting it down, finding it and holding them accountable" was "now the focus of my administration." Domestic policy would remain important, he said, but his priority was taking the fight to an enemy far away. A shell-shocked America rallied behind its President, putting to rest all questions over the nature and extent of his electoral mandate, the cut-and-thrust of partisan politics giving way to a broad Beltway consensus that the President rode all the way into Baghdad. To those charged with ensuring a second term for President Bush, the war on terrorism may once have looked like a dream ticket.

5. Good article

This is what us anti-war folks were preaching before all this went down. Not so much with Afghanistan, but definitely with Iraq. Why couldn't Dubya and company foresee this as a scenario when we could without the benefit of the worlds most elaborate intelligence and defense systems? Or was the thought of controlling all that oil affecting their better judgement?
