"After mastering the English language, learning how to build explosives and continuous planning to target the infidel Americans, it is time for jihad," or holy war, Khalid Ali-M Aldawsari wrote in his private journal, according to court documents.

Lucky for him it was Bush. If he had planned to kill a liberal, he might be in trouble.
