Revving up the fear machine
A New York Times editorial blasts Bunnypants' manly visit to the highly-secured Green Zone, Rove's scumbaggery:
If Americans wondered whether the trip was a presidential publicity stunt or a true turning point in this ever-lengthening war, presidential adviser Karl Rove provided the answer.
In a speech in New Hampshire providing "campaign talking points" to Republicans for the November legislative elections, Rove suggested that "the Democrats could never have summoned the will" to kill Zarqawi.
For an administration that is supposed to be rallying a nation at war, it was a revealingly nasty, partisan and divisive moment.
After too many photo-ops aimed at giving Mr. Bush and his fellow Republicans a short-term lift in the domestic opinion polls at election time, Americans hunger more than ever for a realistic game plan for Iraq and some real progress.
