Attack = On Track

Bush's claim here that his administration is "making good progress in defense of America" may seem to be inconsistent with his warning of a pre-election terrorist attack that (in addition to killing a small number of Americans) may tempt Americans to vote against him. But there is no inconsistency. We cannot be defending America, after all, if we are not being attacked. What better way to make sure that America remains well-defended (by the Bush administration, of course) than by suffering an attack that would prove that we really our defending ourselves against a dangerous enemy?
