"How long before some of the Dems weigh in, accusing Bush of using this attack as a distraction, or insisting that it is proof that Bush is incompetent?"
I actually heard from a moonbat that they thought the Dems had ordered the attack, because Bush doesn't want to fight al Qaeda. When I showed them a story dateline about US forces assisting Ethiopian helo gunships from BEFORE the dems took office, they hemmed and hawed. Then I pointed out that congress doesn't command the military, and that even if they did, they'd have to actually show up for work to do so. ;)
It didn't endear me to the 'bat. Let's put it that way.
RATS ordered the attack? HAHAHAHAHA!
do they really think they are a proxy 'commander in chief' now? Run out of Pillow-zee's office?
Two days after a U.S. gunship attacked suspected al-Qaeda members in Somalia, American military officials categorically denied reports that another attack had taken place or that U.S. military helicopters were involved in continued strikes.
