Bush: U.S. 'At War With Islamic Fascists'

President Bush said Thursday that a foiled plot to blow up multiple flights between Britain and the United States shows "this nation is at war with Islamic fascists."

"This country is safer than it was prior to 9-11," Bush said from the airport tarmac here where he was appearing at events focused on the economy. "We've taken a lot of measures to protect the American people but obviously we're not completely safe. ... It is a mistake to believe there is no threat to the United States of America."

The president laid the blame for the would-be attack squarely on al-Qaida-type terrorism.

"This nation is at war with Islamic fascists who will use any means to destroy those of us who love freedom, to hurt our nation," he said, his remarks carried live on television.

Before you or anyone else claims this is the first time the Administration has used such a term:

The terrorists may not be winning, but they are sure depleating our treasury. Using our nukes would be cheaper in the long run.

This nation is at war with Islamic fascists

Well said by your President

[Sir Gawain]

Say it more often!

"This nation is at war with Islamic fascists who will use any means to destroy those of us who love freedom, to hurt our nation,"

Really? So when do we declare war on these Islamic Fascists and their state sponsors - and then fight like we want to win???

I was shocked but genuinely pleased to hear the President state that "this nation is at war with Islamic fascists."

I always felt the words "war on terrorism" were too vague and didn't direct our efforts in the right direction.

Yes! He said it!

You didn't have to wait long:

It's Bush's fault!

[kinghorse]

Has he used that term officially before? Islamo-fascists?That caught my ear today.

[AmericanInTokyo]

IN THE POLITICALLY CORRECT TIMES WE LIVE IN, THIS HAS ALWAYS BEEN A VERY DIFFICULT WORD TO MAKE A PART OF NATIONAL VOCABULARY IN THE U.S.A. BY GOLLY, BY TODAY, I THINK IT NOW WILL BE!

ISLAMOFASCIST or ISLAMIC FASCIST

[teacherwoes]

>>"this nation is at war with Islamic fascists."

But is it still the religion of peace???

FYI (stifling giggles)

U.S. Senator stranded at Heathrow Airport
The Associated Press, Aug. 10, 2006

WASHINGTON


Among the thousands of frustrated flyers stuck at London's Heathrow Airport Thursday was U.S. Sen. Charles Schumer, a jet-lagged casualty of worldwide delays and cancellations that grounded his family vacation.

"It's a nightmare, everyone's stuck, and our flight is apparently delayed until Sunday," the senator told The Associated Press by phone.(snip)

Ask Kofi to say the same thing.

Oh, you have MADE my day.........ROFLMAO!

Despite our ongoing actions in Afghanistan and Iraq, we've not seen a SINGLE declaration of war. Are we at war against Islamic Fascists including Al Qaeda or not? The President says one thing but the lack of a formal declaration says another.

I'm glad he said it, and I encourage everyone at the WH to use this term all the time because it's so plainly obvious that "Islamic/Muslim Fascists" is correct and not simply terrorists. I commend the President for speaking plainly.
