The democrats are TERRIFIED of this issue and will try their best to spin it as politicizing the war on terror, which ironicly, is all they have been doing since the week after 9/11.
Before 9/11 I wasn't sure about Bush, I liked him but didn't know if he was the best man for the job (I always like Chenny better). Bush showed leadership and resolve after 9/11 and I was damn glad he was our president.

I missed the dnc ads with bush pushing the old lady. Sounds like a good metaphor for what social security is going to look like when the baby boomers start qualifying for it en masse though.
I don't think the war on terror is anything the dems need to be afraid of. In fact, if there's anybody who should fear war talk it should be those responsible for our failed sortie in the desert.
As for the ad, i'm not really in a position to scream blody murder. I do think it ironic that the dems could probably use the same footage to show how the current admin dropped the ball on national security and then missappropriated 9/11 to wage a war on false pretenses. You can bet if they did that many of those who were previously dismissive of bush's use of these ads would have a hissyfit.
I guess its all in how you spin it.
