Linking the Terra'ists to Hurricane Katrina

From the NYTimes:

"We look at the destruction caused by Katrina, and our hearts break," (Bush) said. Turning the subject to terrorists, he said: "They're the kind of people who look at Katrina and wish they had caused it. We're in a war against these people."

First of all, Bush has no proof whatsoever that any terrorists actually wish they could cause hurricanes. That's pure fantasy and speculation on his part and what's known in the logic community (about which der Presidunce certainly has no clue) as a strawman. Secondly, did he seriously just try to bolster support for his failed "war on Iraq -- err, terror" by linking Katrina and terrorists?? Is there anyone in this country dunder-headed enough to fall for such blatant idiocy?? ~sigh~ Don't answer that. Sadly, I know that there are...and they are legion.
