Hold Off Reacting to Osama's Tape? I Think Not. A BUZZFLASH READER CONTRIBUTION Please offer comment in your coverage to the offensive quote by the White House: "'You would think there would be maybe 12 hours to let the American people absorb this, 'said Dan Bartlett, the White House communications director . . ." LATimes, 30 Oct 2004. Delay our reaction?? How can the public, especially John Kerry, stay our intense outrage? The electorate is reminded daily of Bush's inept war planning and the resulting human loss: Witnesses: Iraqi Forces Fire on Civilian Vehicles South of Baghdad, Killing or Wounding Dozens ,AP 30 Oct 2004 US Military Fatalities: 1,100+ US Military Wounded: 7,532+ Scientists Estimate 100,000 Iraqi Deaths, AP 28 Oct 2004 Brain injuries high among Iraq casualties, Army News Service, Nov. 24, 2003 Reporter saw insurgents loot Qaqaa arms depot, IHT, 29 Oct 2004 . . . All of this because of Bush's colossal mistake and incompetence as our leader. When Bin Laden appears on our TV screens, we are reminded that . . . Bin Laden is alive, Bush confused the real enemy with Iraq, and, more shocking, Bush really didn't care about the true enemy: "I don't know. I don't really think about him very much. I'm not that concerned." And, now he has the audacity to call for a cessation of public criticism! Mary C. Wright Franklin MI A BUZZFLASH READER CONTRIBUTION
