Tony Snow Describing Al Qaeda or The Bush Regime?

  Just browsing through the transcript of the White House press briefing from Tuesday and I ran across this  little piece of the question and answer session.

Q Let me just finish up, if I can. In Afghanistan -- you probably saw this video that was obtained by ABC, which was apparently suicide bombers. What does that say about what we've done in Afghanistan?

MR. SNOW: Well, first, we're looking at it. At this point, we don't have a definitive thing. It's not clear exactly what they're claiming, but we're reviewing it. But look, it's typical al Qaeda propaganda. Al Qaeda is also good at slick propaganda that encourages people to go out and blow themselves up. Notice that the leaders don't make that effort; instead what they do is they pick younger people and they send them off to die. They are good at manipulating the press. (  my emphasis ) They will continue to do what they can to try to destabilize that government. Again, it fits into what I was talking about, is the forces of radicalism and extremism.

  If you hadn't have read the beginning of this, you would think that this was someone talking about our fearless fighter pilot up in the White House, so far as leaders would be concerned. Replace al Qaeda with the White House and then there is no difference.

   Have you ever noticed how al Qaeda and the Bush administration are like evil twins. They both do the same thing only al Qaeda are terrorist and the Bush company uses mercenaries for its dirty work while our troops are stuck in the middle.
