Yearning For Terror Is a GOP Strategy |
"At the end of the day, I believe fully the president is doing the right thing, and I think all we need is some attacks on American soil like we had on [Sept. 11, 2001]," Milligan said to the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette, "and the naysayers will come around very quickly to appreciate not only the commitment for President Bush, but the sacrifice that has been made by men and women to protect this country," reports Raw Story.
Yearning for new mass casualty terror attacks for political gain is a GOP strategy - Milligan is merely parroting what was written in a leaked confidential memo that was circulated among senior Republican leaders in late 2005.
Dennis Milligan yearns for a new terror attack to boost Bush's flagging approval rating.
"A confidential memo circulating among senior Republican leaders suggests that a new attack by terrorists on U.S. soil could reverse the sagging fortunes of President George W. Bush as well as the GOP and "restore his image as a leader of the American people," reported Capitol Hill Blue on November 12, 2005."The closely-guarded memo lays out a list of scenarios to bring the Republican party back from the political brink, including a devastating attack by terrorists that could “validate” the President’s war on terror and allow Bush to “unite the country” in a “time of national shock and sorrow."
As is now well-known, shortly before 9/11 the Project For A New American Century, a Neo-Con lobby group which counts Donald Rumsfeld and Dick Cheney in its ranks, lamented that its rapacious military agenda would not be realized "absent some catastrophic and catalyzing event -- like a new Pearl Harbor."
Milligan's comments are notably prescient in that they were made on the same weekend that U.S. authorities had announced they had disrupted a plot to attack JFK International Airport.
Early details about the alleged plan confirm that the case mirrors every other major terror sting in the west since 9/11 - where the near-retarded members of the group are entrapped and led by a paid for government provocateur and the scope and feasibility of the plot is vastly overhyped by officials and the media.
Rudy Giuliani wasted no time in exploiting the news for political propaganda - citing it as a reason that he should be elected as president.
