While I am tempted to take the bait, I will suffice it to say that there are many ways to spin this. I would argue that should this have happened at JFK, the left would be out talking about why it had to come down to the last minute and that the Bush admin was too slow to act, and thereby creaed a nightmare situation for travellers.
I could just as easily spin this by saying that the Bush administration must be doing an outstanding job because the terrorists are not able embark upon such an attack here in the US.
It is sad that foiling a terrorist attack has to lead to partisan attacks. I'll just take it as a victory that the attack was stopped, congratulate the British and the intelligence services, and leave it at that.
