The War Mayor!

I'd like to follow up on Eric's post of a few days ago, partly because I'm still plain steamed about this story, and also necause I just read the APJ Pundit Pap take on this Meet The Press segment from today's show.

A quick discussion of why the Mayor of New York, Mike Bloomberg, made such a big deal out of the potential NY subway targeting by Al Qaeda bombers when the chiefs at Homeland Security said that the information this was based on was pretty much bogus!

Why? Simple! Because he is running again!

Everyone agreed that local elected officials must be more aggressive—when they meant to say over-frightening. You know: The War Mayor!

That's pretty much the way I see it, speaking as the mother of a son who lives in NYC and takes the subway every day, and another son who happens to be visiting there this weekend. A lot of people who don't live anywhere near New York City love someone who does live there. A story like this reverberates far outside the city limits.
