Ärende: Bush statement
======================
Either Bush is a total idiot, or a (bleep)-ing liar.

Most likely both.

From the President's Radio Address, August 12, 2006: 

This plot is further evidence that the terrorists we face are 
sophisticated, and constantly changing their tactics... We're dealing 
with a new enemy that uses new means of attack and new methods to 
communicate.

From the New York Times, Aug. 12, 2006: 

In 1995, a plot to bomb 12 American jumbo jets over the Pacific with a 
liquid explosive was discovered when the bomb makers accidentally set 
fire to their laboratory in Manila.

From the New York Times editorial, Aug. 12, 2006 : 

The most frightening thing about the foiled plot to use liquid 
explosives to blow up airplanes over the Atlantic is that both the 
government and the aviation industry have been aware of the liquid bomb 
threat for years but have done little to prepare for it.

From the Associated Press: 

As the British terror plot was unfolding, the Bush administration 
quietly tried to take away $6 million that was supposed to be spent this 
year developing new explosives detection technology....Rep. Martin Sabo, 
D-Minn., who joined Republicans to block the administration's recent 
diversion of explosives detection money, said research and development 
is crucial to thwarting future attacks, and there is bipartisan 
agreement that Homeland Security has fallen short. "They clearly have 
been given lots of resources that they haven't been using," Sabo said.
