BG: What just a dog-gone second. Even though this post criticizes Bush, there is much to dispute about the "facts."

No, what bin Laden is, and what he has done is not beyond doubt. In fact, it is most likely that the "quote" below is not from bin Laden, whose broadcasts have been faked for propaganda reasons.

.... That bin Laden is a murdering theocrat is beyond doubt. Bush, despite the sneers of many, is not some callous adventurer. But Bush and bin Laden share the same Manichean vision of a world in which one side is indisputably good, the other unspeakably bad. Bin Laden dispatched his words from some cave to an Islamic world that has been raised on a hatred of the West.

In the months after the Twin Towers fell, Bush invited a delegation from the nation that bred the killers of 3,000 Americans to the ranch in Crawford for barbecue. That's showing them.
Bush saved his most salient argument for the end of his speech, when he suggested that we are fighting terrorists from around "...
