Gop Head: We Need More 'attacks On American Soil', so people appreciate Bush

Monday June 4, 2007

In his first interview as the chairman of the Arkansas Republican Party, Dennis Milligan told a reporter that America needs to be attacked by terrorists so that people will appreciate the work that President Bush has done to protect the country.

"At the end of the day, I believe fully the president is doing the right thing, and I think all we need is some attacks on American soil like we had on [Sept. 11, 2001]," Milligan said to the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette, "and the naysayers will come around very quickly to appreciate not only the commitment for President Bush, but the sacrifice that has been made by men and women to protect this country."

Milligan, who was elected as the new chair of the Arkansas Republican Party just two weeks ago, also told the newspaper that he is "150 percent" behind Bush in the war in Iraq.

In his acceptance speech on May 19th, Milligan told his fellow Republicans that it was "time for a rediscovery of our values and our common sense."

The owner of a water treatment company, Milligan was a relative unknown in Arkansas politics until last week's vote. He had previously served as the party's treasurer and the Saline County Republican chair.

This has already been picked up on Able2know...

I believe he is using the phrase "all we need" in its idiomatic sense of "all it would take", rather than expressing a desire for a terrorist attack. Of course, with Republicans anything is possible, but surely this is a case of careless language from a hick politician.

Funny coincidence (or not) of names - but I bet they really need water treatment in "Saline County"...
