Bushworld Follies:

Dear Leader Yesterday:

President Bush expressed solidarity with Britain on Monday over the deadly bombings in London and said terrorists are trying to break the will of the world’s democracies by killing innocent people.

“They are mistaken,” Bush said of the terrorists. “America will not retreat in the face of terrorists and murderers.”

MEANWHILE,

Air Force personnel at two major U.S. bases in eastern England have been ordered to stay out of London because of safety fears, but Britain's defense chief said Tuesday that those orders are under review.
