Pete Hoekstra Said We Had A Terrorist Attack Yesterday

The news of the “attempted bombing” of a Northwest flight from Amsterdam to Detroit yesterday has brought out the craziness of the right, and nothing is crazier than this statement from Pete Hoekstra:

So if we are considering what happened yesterday a terrorist attack, then does that mean Richard Reid, the shoe-bomber, was also a terrorist attack? That really puts a crimp in the argument that Bush didn’t have a terrorist attack since 9/11.

Republicans are already going into the reflex reaction of blaming President Obama for this. Instead of being realistic and looking at what happened, or didn’t happen, they want to jump into politics while terrorism still thrives. Let’s be honest here. We are using the same airline security measures that were implemented under Bush, so if they want to blame Obama then Bush should get just as much blame. President Obama has done nothing to relax security measures or even remove them.
