Edwards Accuses Bush Of Exploiting 9/11

Accusing the president of using scare tactics, Edwards charged: ``George Bush is playing on people's deepest fears. He's exploiting a national tragedy for personal gain and it's the lowest kind of politics."

``He will fail in the war against terrorism because he does not know how to lead,'' Edwards said of Bush.

``George Bush today is making one last stand to con the American people into believing that he is the only one who can fight and win the war on terrorism,'' the Democratic vice presidential nominee said.

Since the terrorist attacks, the Taliban regime in Afghanistan has been toppled and the former leader of Iraq, Saddam Hussein, has been in U.S. custody since December.

Excellent collage of images & quotes - - makes an accurate point in a clever way.

The Lindbergh clipping reminds me of those old post-WW2 movies "Til the End of Time" and "Best Years of our Lives" which have minor characters in the story that spout off about how the USA was suckered into WW2 and generally misled, that the servicemen that fought were basically boobs. Maybe there's some kind of tradition of dissent in America that is always going to say "not in our name" and get really annoyed if anyone actually confronts a menace, versus just endlessly talking at it.
