Al Qaeda cell may be in US ready to attack at any moment... so Bush is scheduling an emergency meeting... in a few days, or so

Yeah, no rush. They may be about to attack, so the meeting is for Thursday because, you know, today or tomorrow would have been, uh, too early.

The White House leaked this report to ABC in order to influence the Iraq debate in this Congress this week. Does anyone really believe that Bush is having a super secret counter terror meeting and it just happens to leak out by accident? If so, then I'm waiting for Bush to launch his criminal investigation of the leak the same way he always does with leaks that he doesn't intend. In fact, as Joe reported yesterday, Karl Rove is helping run Iraq strategy for the White House. Yes, Karl Rove, the guy who does politics, not substance, is in charge of Iraq strategy now. And 24 hours later we see a leak like this? No coincidence there.

I guess this means Bush will cancel his usual month-long vacation in August, to deal with the threat, you know.
