Cognitive Dissonance

"Bush's numbers low again or something? OHMIGOD DUCT TAPE PLASTIC SHEETING WWWWAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!"

"someone will come out with a conspiracy theory to surround these events in no time... BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT PROBABLY HAPPENED.

your government wants your rights and they are doing what is necessary to take them away from you. what is going on in this event is irrelevant, just read your history books, or look up despotism."
--quotes from this Fark thread about the San Diego bomb scare.

Now, no matter what any given administration does there are going to be people who can't take it at face value and look for the evil motive in anything. That said: Given that the bomb scare got this kind of reaction after everything else that's happened, go back in time to the infamous August 2001 "Bin Laden Determined to Strike in U.S. Briefing."

What exactly was it that we'd have Bush do in hindsight there?
