Sept. 11: evening speech by Bush --
he tries to justify Iraq occupation by referring back to Al Qaeda:

http://sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/n/a/2006/09/11/national/w181340D44.DTL

[ TBL says:
If Bush had been really serious about Al Qaeda,
he would have tried harder to kill Osama.
Instead, he shifted U.S. resources from Afghanistan to Iraq.

Bush was always fixated on Iraq.
For him, Afghanistan was a side-show.

Thereby Bush made a strategic mistake,
because Afghanistan strongly affects Pakistan
( as the Pashto people live in both countries),
and Pakistan has nuclear bombs.

If fundi-fascists get control of the Pak military forces,
then there's a higher risk of nuke war between Pakistan and India.
Remember the sickening smog that plagued Manhattan after Nine-Eleven?
Imagine it multiplied a million times,
and made radio-active (remember Chernobyl?),
and drifting all over the Northern Hemisphere.....
That would be "the Bush nuke-smog",
also known as "Osama's Revenge".... ]
