Routine Apology
Every few days an aide or some other person closely connected to one of the Presidential campaigns says something that makes the news, though usually only when an apology is made.
On the Democratic side, I wonder if the first order of business each day in the B. Obama campaign is to ask the question, "Did any of our people say something yesterday that could be a problem for us today? ...Or tomorrow?"
On the Republican side it is certain that such remarks and the quick accompanying cleanup via routine apologies is greeted with great satisfaction in the shrewd exercise once again of political cleverness. These apparent slips are in reality understood by all their adherents as communiques issued by the campaign to its faithful, so that everyone in that demonic choir can remain assured that they are singing from the same pages.
So now this "highly respected" McCain aide ia apologizing for saying what in reality what everybody with even a half a brain knows to be true, or at least expects to be true, going on past experience. He said that a 9/11-type attack on something within the U.S. purview before this coming November would help McCain's chances of winning.
So in effect, along with or in lieu of a Bush or Olmert attack on Iran, another terrorist act on some U.S. property would be just the ticket, similar to the way that 9/11 was a boon to the Bush presidency, by adding to his already false credentials by making him look like a "war president," and gving people the excuse to look away while, in that capacity, he and his people proceeded to commit crimes that very quickly became far more deadly and damaging, even to the U.S., than the crashes into buildings of the hijacked planes in 2001.
With "victories" such as 9/11 having already padded their paunches for years already, and with this all too transparent hope and hunger for more of the same, under the fake snowfall of the routine and clearly non-remorseful apology, one wonders for the umpteenth time what the appeal of that hind end of the political spectrum, not only in the U.S. but everywhere in the world, could possibly be.

The closer we get to the election, the more scared and nervous I get. Maybe by opening his mouth, this aide saved lives. I am probably slightly paranoid, but a big part of me believes there will not be an election in November due to some sort of "disaster." And then we will have martial law & King Dubya.
