Bush Tries to Appear Tough on Terrorism
In the wake of all the backlash on the United Arab Emerate deal (in which Bush want to give control to our ports to a Dubai company), Bush is trying to look tough on terrorism again. He tarnished his own reputation by selling control of our American Ports to the UAE and now he is backpeddling to try and gain the confidence of Americans again.
According to ABC News, Bush made a detour on his way back from a visit to India to make an unplanned visit to Afganistan. At a press conference he called at the Bagram Air Base , Bush, said he was ‘confident’ the fugitive al-Qaeda terrorist leader Osama bin Laden will be ‘brought to justice.’
This is a 180 degree flip flop from the 2002 press conference at the Whitehouse where Bush answered a question from a reporter asking why Bush rarely mentions Osoma bin Ladin with, ‘So I don’t know where he is. You know, I just don’t spend that much time on him, Kelly, to be honest with you.’
