It's almost that time again, folks, and these words from Bush couldn't sound any more foreboding.
In a highly combative exchange with reporters, United States President George W. Bush has told reporters today that terrorists will strike the United States again, RAW STORY has learned.
In arguing for legislation that would define US interpretation of the Geneva Conventions in a way that many would argue would allow certain forms of torture, Bush said, "I wish I could tell the American people, 'don't worry about it.' They're not coming again. But they are coming again."
"Time is running out," the President concluded.
Bush also struck out at comments by former Secretary of State Colin Powell regarding the moral standing of the United States' war on terror.
"It's unacceptable," a visibly angered Bush told the press, "to think there's any kind of comparison between the behavior of the United States of America and the action of Islamic extremists, who kill innocent women and children to achieve an objective."
Bush's interaction with certain reporters also, at times, became unusually combative.
At one point, an angered Bush answered one reporter's request for a follow-up question with a sharp, "No, you can't."
One CNN commentator went so far as to call the President's behavior "belligerent" immediately after the conference.
It should be obvious to members of the press that he's snapping back like this because he knows that the "put the fear of Hell into 'em" tactic aren't working as well as it was before.
