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.

I agree, the time has come and probably long overdue. The President is just now coming to publicly admit to defining the threat. Now Mr President bring out the heavy ordnance for the elimination of these sand-nazis. Step up to the plate. The Buff fleet is old, but still very utilitarian world-wide.

The President says one thing but the lack of a formal declaration says another.

The President says one thing, but the prosecution of our soldiers everytime they pull the trigger says another.

[Coop]

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

We did that in Oct 2001. Pay attention.

[Coldwater Creek]

The President has always said that it was going to be a very long war. We are just getting started!

Money well spent IMO!!

[Coop]

Has he used that term officially before? Islamo-fascists?

Yes, many times. See my link at post #4.

Best to laugh on a high stress day.
Better to laugh AT Chuck Schumer's plight. :-)

Seems like saying we're at war already would preclude a declaration of war, which starts hostilities and is therefore not needed, seeing as how hostilities have been underway for quite some time.

[pissant]

Yes, I've heard him use it twice before with my own earballs.

[txrangerette]

Cry to the US Military. They set the rules, believe it or not.

[Coop]

But is it still the religion of peace???

Yes. Why is it so difficult for so many around here to separate freaks from an entire religion? Perhaps you're also comfortable condemning an entire race or ethnicity because of the crimes of a relative few?

[AmericanInTokyo]

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??

[pissant]

Two down, more to go

[Sprite518]

I guess he is worried about the elections in November? So he figured he would throw a bone to the conservatives. Let's see if he keeps this up.

[Coop]

Karma! :-D

[Aquinasfan]

>>"this nation is at war with Islamic fascists." But is it still the religion of peace???

I wonder what brought this change in rhetoric. It's sure an improvement over the ROP.

[SE Mom]

It simply does NOT get any better than this.

grinning..from ear to ear:D

[Coop]

Find me one, ONE example of the President prosecuting anyone.

Geez, man, whose side are you on? It damned sure ain't America's. You're spreading nothing but feces on this thread.

[DTogo]

We did that in Oct 2001. Pay attention.

"We" did, or he did? Funny, I don't recall Roosevelt chasing down our soldiers everytime they pulled the trigger or dropped a bomb, and Roosevelt never brought a group Nazis to the White House to declare how peacful their ideology was, and Roosevelt didn't tell the country to go shopping, and Roosevelt didn't let the media divulge national secrets.

We're at war? Really??

[Coop]

More idiocy.

[crashthe24]

Whoa! you mean we are really at war and Coward Dean has been lying?!?
