One need not wonder long, however, because the president's motives for playing the fear card on this latest occasion, by repeatedly invoking al Qaeda, are obviously the same as they were on the many previous occasions when he played it. The president's speeches garner more attention from the news media than anyone else's views get. Even if every terrorism expert on earth regards the president's statements as misleading, many people will never be exposed to that conflicting view – the average American's attention span for the fine points of foreign affairs is very short in any event – and therefore the president's scare stories will always produce the effect he desires to some extent, at least in the short run. Otherwise, he would have abandoned this political tactic long ago. http://www.lewrockwell.com/higgs/higgs63.html The president can move matter. Power http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ONmuTS2tCRw
