There's nothing new about Bush politicizing "September 11"
The political wing of Team Bush hastakensomeheat for new ads that use footage of the aftermath of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks.
In a press release issued yesterday, September 11th Families for Peaceful Tomorrows says the Bush campaign is "politicizing... this national tragedy."
With all due respect, the Bush Administration been "politicizing" the events of September 11, 2001 since September 11, 2001. The "war on terror" is a political project with ostensible goals that are unobtainable, much like the "war on drugs." But because of the very real attacks of September 11, 2001, the Bush Administration has been able to act as if it is a "war" in the traditional sense and argue that Bush's actions in this regard are a primary reason for electing him once again. Bush turned the attacks into politics a long time ago. Critiquing merely the latest manifestation of this doesn't make much sense.
