Dammit, Maru, you're right!! This was a golden opportunity for the Democrats. Bush and co. cut a secret deal with AQ to blow up planes enroute to the US, then sold them out to MI5, thereby creating a PR coup for the Anglosphere.
If only MI5 would've botched the job, several airliners would've been blown up, killing hundreds. We could've laid the blame at the feet of the Bush Administration and helped get more progressives elected to the House and Senate. Sure several hundred Americans and Brits would've been murdered, but it would've been worth it to get the GOP out of power. Just think about how we could've hammered Bush with this for years! Egad! What a lost opportunity.
