I was browsing cbc.ca today and came across another sigh-worthy story about George W. Bush claiming to have "won" the war on terror. It turned out to be worth the browse, as it revealed another George W. moment of stupidity...

"U.S. President George W. Bush says there was a plot to hijack an airliner and fly it into a Los Angeles skyscraper as a sequel to the 2001 attacks on New York and Washington.

The plotters planned to use "shoe bombs" to break into the cockpit, Bush said in a speech in Washington on Thursday.

Bush portrayed the United States and its allies as winning what he calls the war on terror. He spoke of a succession of al-Qaeda figures killed or captured, and said a number of plots were thwarted.

The Los Angeles plot was aimed at the tallest building on the West Coast, he said.

He called it the Liberty Tower, but apparently meant the Library Tower, a 73-storey office building facing the Los Angeles Central Library. The building was renamed US Bank Tower in 2003."


Ah, Georgie.
