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.

Santorum used the phrase too? Alright!!!

The only thing to note is that while Christianity and other religions are not united, Islam is.

Yeah, that whole Sunni-Shiite civil war in Iraq is just a hoax ginned up by the librul media to make Dubya look bad.

Sheesh.

The President made specific reference to our enemy being "Islamofascism" during his Veteran's Day speech 11/11/05.

Him saying "Islamic Facists" is a good sign. Almost time to switch off that "RoP" nonsense and call the enemy who they really are.

Maybe you could help our friend a bit more. S/he apparently has trouble accessing my link. :-p

[flynmudd]

I believe that Bush has to get Congress' permission to declare war.

[Antoninus]

Isn't it amazing that it took nearly five years, 3000 bodies buried or incinerated, and two wars later--and all those casulties, to get this common sense lexicon to go MAIN STREAM by having the big man at the top go and use it on Live TV??

You don't think this is accidental, do you? We couldn't say this at first because we needed the "moderate" muzzies on our side. To hear the prez say this makes me think that something big is in the offing.

I believe that Bush has to get Congress' permission to declare war.

Only Congress can declare war. President Bush never asked.

My ruh roe is for the photo off for the after the fact.... So he can point to the quote on the tarmac....

" 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."

ROFL! Excellent news!

[Sprite518]

OK I take that as a I can't answer the question, because you are right.

[Sprite518]

You may be right!

[steve-b]

It's high time to correctly identify the enemy as Islamic Theocrats.

[StarCMC]

We're at war? Really??

Did I see you on Jay Leno last week? In one of those interviews on the sidewalk that he does to show out of touch people are? I know -- you were the one who saw the pic of Dick Cheney and thought it was Hitler, right??

[Sprite518]

Well that is good if he did. Nevertheless, he needs to quit referring to them as "the terrorist". Terrorism is a tactic. Bush need to identify them for who they are in all speeches instead of the politically correct nonsense. We cannot win a war if we do not identify our enemy.

[flynmudd]

He's not going to ask for that of which he will never get. Nobody in congress is willing to give up their power in the here and now with elections in November. It doesn't seem to matter that they just tried to attack us again does it. I guess what I predicted a couple of months ago, the only way the country will wake up is if they smell the burning flesh of another 9/11 style attack. Mark my words. It doesn't matter who is in office. Unless this country stands as a whole we are doomed.

That Hezbollah cell busted in Dearborn, Michigan had just bought 600 cell phones. They reportedly got a text message from head-creep Nasrallah. Methinks the cell phone outage in New York was a Homeland Security operation. 'Nuff said.

[BW2221]

Well said.

"We cannot win a war if we do not identify our enemy."

I couldn't agree more. It took a long time for the President to publicly recognize what we are up against. But every single president before him - including Reagan - failed to recognize the threat of militant Islam. 9/11 woke up GWB - but not all the way. Now, though - at last! - he is fully engaged - not just against Saddam and the Taliban and Osama, who were/are specific enemies. It's a much larger struggle. The President gets this.

Political correctness and multiculturalism spent decades poisoning our discourse. It's pernicious and self-destructive. Tough to combat. The President deserves praise and admiration for his steadfastness and perseverence - not just against our foes in the field, but against numerous and powerful and vocal critics here at home.

"OK smart guy then why would Bush just all of sudden do this?"

This is the Lib attitude ALL OVER the Internet today..
THESE ARE LIB POSTINGS FROM ANOTHER BOARD IN JUST THE LAST 3 HOURS!!!:

"Today's Threat is crafted and faked by the Bush and Blair Administrations."

"I IF BY LAND, 2 IF BY SEA, 10 IF LAMONT"

"LAMONT WINS, TERRORISTS ATTACK!"

"This is another attempt by Republicans such as
Tony Snow and Dick Cheney, Bush propagandists,
to scare the hell out of American people"

"JOES LOSES THAN WE GET TERROR ALERT"

" WAKE UP PEOPLE! TERROR ALERT IS FAKE! Bush and Blair are both losers with s(Edited)t for approval and they came up with this "scare" to feel needed."

"IS HITLER IN THE BUNKER YET?"

"Watch for terrorist alerts to increase before elections. Whether real or not."

"GOP IN A PANIC MODE FRENZY, Scare'em now or no chance now to win in Nov then '08 election."

" IMPEACH CODE RED and save the nation"

"I'm glad Bush didn't blow the planes up this time..........yet. The neocons will stop at nothing to take away your freedoms."

"Probably find out in a few days it was a hoax...Or the investigation collapses..."

"ANYONE BELIEVE THE "TERROR STORY"? I don't. Bush is desperate and stupid."

"Once again, look at the timing. The only ones buying it are the braindead, Stupid sheep."

"gop manipulating terror again"

"TERRORISTS ATTACK 24 HRS. AFTER LAMONT"

I just continue to be utterly stunned every time I peer into the Liberal mind....
