  This just keeps getting better and better:

  President Bush accused militants Thursday of seeking to establish a "radical Islamic empire" (from Excite News)

  Um, empire building...sure, we know all about that here, don't we?
  
  ***

  President Bush, trying to reverse a slide in public support for the war
  in Iraq, said Thursday that Islamic radicals are seeking to "enslave
  whole nations and intimidate the world..." (From Excite News)

  Um, we could just as
  easily say that "American Religious Fundamentalists are seeking to
  enslave whole nations (notably the US) and intimidate the world..."

  Pretty
  sad when ol' Shrub is trying to make "Islamic Radicals" look like the
  evildoers, and it turns out he could just as easily be speaking about
  his own political party/power base/cronies.

  Too bad so much of
  the population of the US is so incredibly unaware that they will just
  accept any old line of crap fed to them by this administration.
  Critical thinking should be a required course in Jr. High (and in High
  School, and in College, etc)...but then there could be no political
  system like the one we suffer under today, since too many people would
  see through the bullshit.
