Bush goes back to the "bogeyman"

Bush delivered the Coast Guard graduation commencement and used the opportunity to resort to his administration's last hope with the American public..... The threat of terrorism and the "bogeyman" himself Osama Bin Laden. In perfect timing the administration declassified information about Bin Laden's plan to set up Al Queda operations outside Iraq to be used to attack American targets in Iraq. This information is almost two years old.
At a time where the Iraq War is at a low point in public opinion and the Democratic party has been trying to limit Bush's endless war with benchmarks and timetables (before caving in to the disappointment of many) one has to wonder if this information is a desperate attempt to drum up support for this war by using the dreaded name...... Osama Bin Laden. The idea is to downplay the civil war in Iraq and remind America that Al Queda is in Iraq.
