Once again, George W. Bush uttered the "islamic fascist" expression. This time, it was all about a Heathrow plot uncovered at the most convenient time : Bush and Blair were said to have talked about this issue a couple of days earlier but didn't warn their partners, which means either they didn't care for them, or the emergency wasn't that critical. Anyway, Bush and Blair clearly needed a terror fix to go back up in the polls and to give some support to Olmert, also going down for his military failures. The message : war on terror is difficult but it has to be lead whatever the cost ; this is a noble cause, a moral one. Significantly, Jacques Chirac just used the term "immoral" to warn the US : not reaching a ceasefire agreement would be "immoral"... a clear echo to the messianic War on Terror propaganda.
This is not the first time Bush uses the "Islamic fascism" expression ; in a typically Karlrovish move, he's counterattacking with the very words that are being relevantly used against his Administration and now his protégés.

"[http://www.csmonitor.com/2006/0810/p04s01-woeu.html Nuclear power's green promise dulled by rising temps]," reports the Christian Science Monitor (August 10, 2006):
The extended heat wave in July aggravated drought conditions across much of Europe, lowering water levels in the lakes and rivers that many nuclear plants depend on to cool their reactors.
As a result, utility companies in France, Spain, and Germany were forced to take some plants offline and reduce operations at others. Across Western Europe, nuclear plants also had to secure exemptions from regulations in order to discharge overheated water into the environment. ...
"Global warming undermines the arguments we've always heard about nuclear power, that it doesn't damage the environment," says Stéphane Lhomme, spokesman for a French group, Sortir du Nucléaire, or Abandon Nuclear. "Nuclear is not saving us from climate change. It's in trouble because of climate change."
MSNBC just covered this story ("[http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/14233906/ A smoke screen at the ballot box?]," August 7, 2006). From a secretly-recorded exchange in Phoenix, Arizona:
Petition gatherer #1: Do you smoke?
NBC: No, I don't.
Petition gatherer #1: Oh, yeah. Well, this is The Non-Smoker Protection Act.
NBC: So, if I am a non-smoker, that's the one to do?
Petition gatherer #2: Yeah.
NBC: So this is a good one if you're a non-smoker?
Petition gatherer #3: Yeah, this is a good one because I have asthma, that's why I believe in this one.
NBC: This basically is a ban then on smoking?
Petition Gatherer #3: Yeah.
Well, that is just not true. If you really read the seven-page Arizona Non-Smoker Protection Act, you'll see it allows smoking almost anywhere liquor is sold.
I'm writing from Italy.I think that ,may be, it should be interesting for you to know that here in Europe(in Italy especially) nobody believe on Saddam's WMD possession.The general opinion is that Bush ( and Blair obviously) lied about the real reasons of war ,perhaps linked to reasons of domestic policy rather than international one.It's normal way for politicians to invent an artificial foe when the domestic policy has some difficulties to avert the public opnion on false target.After a long debate here also the right wing newspapers share this idea.Furthermore news coming from Lebanon got worse the opinion about the Bush's administration since it is considered as the main accomplice of present bloodshield.As forme I firmly hope that Israeli's government will follow the diplomatic way rather the war to solve the problem on its own interst. The real way for the USA to upgrade its cosideration in Arabic world is to engage himself on quick and total cease fire.I regret for my bad english but I hope that you would appreciate my intention.
