All of the Democrats were spouting this today, Dean, Feingold, Lamont, Reich, etc. I didn't hear Reed or Harman, but I bet you they pushed this line, too. Howie Kurtz also pushed it on his Reliable Sources by asking his guests if reporters have a duty to point out that the war in Iraq is not part of the war on terror.
They were also all pushing the notion that the UK plane bombing plot was a police matter and that the war in Iraq was a distraction from the real fight against terrorism.
The talking point faxes went out late last night, I'm sure.
Thats the same Clinton thinking that brought us 9-11. Are the police going to into Afghanistan in the winter and hump it over the mountains? The Horn of Africa? The jungles of Indonesia and the Philipines??
Did either of you catch Fineman making that statement that the Republicans have to make the situation of the other day seem more threatening than it actually is?
I'm wondering 1. IF I heard that correctly and 2. How much more threatening does it need to be?
Excellent posts, I'm not around alot for the Sun thread simply because I can no longer tolerate the shows themselves, but the posters on FR are great.
