You'd think that David would be grateful...

David Shearer has posted the following on Facebook:

I'm a bit surprised to hear John Key used breakfast radio to announce to the world there may be a serious security threat.

This typical John Key - whenever he is under pressure he rolls out the weapons of mass distraction.

I've worked in Afghanistan, I know how serious the threat of terrorism is. But I also know an attempt to distract when I see one.

Now David Shearer may indeed think that he knows "an attempt to distract" when he sees one. But with the truly dreadful Roy Morgan poll result (for Labour, at least), wouldn't you think that Mr Shearer would actually be grateful to John Key? 

After all, if it wasn't for Key's al-Qaeda people, everyone today would be talking about the ineptitude of Labour and David Shearer. And we all know where THAT would lead!
