In his American Legion speech, President Bush hauled out that old canard again: "If we give up the fight in the streets of Baghdad, we will face terrorists in the streets of our own cities."

Thanks to today's Wall Street Journal, we have Rep. Curt Weldon's formulation: "We either fight them there or we fight them in the supermarkets ... here." In the supermarkets? Does Weldon see terrorists among the melons?
