White House, FBI Agents Race to Disrupt ‘Summer of ’07′ Threat

The mistrust of the current administration is so high now that I wouldn’t be surprised if people blame THEM for any attack. Shame.

Some will worry that the administration might help along an attack. But, much more likely possible false flag operations by a opportunistic 3rd party group (perhaps a splinter cell within a U.S. government agency or contractor) intended to bolster Republican support, contract acquisition, or related purposes. I hope that good investigators will consider this possibility. Especially, considering the Anthrax terrorists are still out there…

Whatever the cause of the announcement , better safe that sorry. But if we get hit because in six years they did not secure our borders, then they should be held criminally accountable and prosecuted.

We should have been having “regular” meetings all along, don’t candy coat the facts. I believe the American people can handle the truth, what a concept that would be!

Fedup – I agree with you wholeheartedly. I think there are indeed attacks in plan from our enemies, but I find it somewhat amusing how this all falls upon us as a crisis – right at the time when Bush’s numbers are low and he is losing his stand with Congress over extending the war in Iraq… Our government has a lot to answer for! I can’t wait until November 08 – when OUR voices will be heard once and for all!

Stupid comments.

Doctor said, “The mistrust of the current administration is so high now that I wouldn’t be surprised if people blame THEM for any attack.”
You need to GOOGLE ‘Operation Northwoods’. A rogue group in the US military planned EXTENSIVE terror attacks against US targets, and then planned to blame those attacks on Cuba to foment support against them. History tells us rouge parts of our government, i.e. a small group of people with the will and the necessary secrecy mechanisms, will kill their own people in order to promote an agenda.

Bush’s ratings??? Who cares about his ratings, he sure doesnt, it’s his last term folks, he’s done after this… I’m thankfull that we have not had an attack since 9/11. So what ever our feds are doing seems to be working… Only the weak fall into the scare tactics, and then if you are scared the terrorists have wone. What happened to proud, vigilant Americans????? This country has turned into a bunch of weaklings all suing over getting a hang nail at mc donanlds… It’s WE the people that our destroying our own country and our rights, not to mention our poloticians that cant accomplish a single thing… time to stand up and break free of this folks… only WE the people can do it… Take care.

It’s a wonder Chertoff can talk with that “bit” in his mouth and Bush “pulling” on the reins. Why do you think Bush doesn’t want “US” to know whats going on?!?! It’s all part of the(his and others)plan….One WORLD order, and he’s part of it….This is only the beginning my friends….Only the beginning……………

Brian Ross and ABC News have got it wrong – AGAIN!

If ANY institution in America shouldn’t be trusted it is the Main Street Media, followed by Congress! President Bush may not get it right all the time, but at least he is pro-actively defending 300 million US citizens, at least half of which are total idiots! God Bless the American Troops.

After reading all of the posts to this thread, I have the ultimate solution to our problems. We should arm all of our Nukes, fire the ICBMs straight up and allow them to rain down on our own cities. America has become too stupid to govern itself.

That’s okay…the ‘Bush is hyping the press’ folks will be the first to cry, ” Why Me!” when some idiot blows up their bus. Of everyone, the libs are actually their biggest target. Think of what Islamic fundamentalists hate and it is everything liberal.

That’s right Walt. That horrible media, which Bush planted in those vehicles when the war began, are reporting bogus things. I mean, at first, when they started reporting and it looked good for Bush they were great. But after a while, when they had the nerve to say things might not be all peachy? Well, they went bad. We’re not having issues after all. It’s all some bogus press thing.

If this concern is actually real, the administration should just drop the vague “gut feeling” platitudes and go to Orange level alert.

I am so sick of IDIOTS saying how they dont believe that they think the announcement of a terror threat is legitimate because they think it is a plot by Bush to help his image. That is RIDICULOUS!! How in the heck does it help his image to say “Oh, well get ready for another attack”?! Answer: it does’nt. We as Americans should all be ticked off that we still even have to worry about terrorist!

We have not had an attack since 9/11/2001. I am frankly suprised by that. It tells me that the Patriot Act works and our intelligence system is working. Of course, when the first attack does occur, some of the idiots who are leaving comments on this site will blame America and President Bush instead of facing the reality that millions of people in the world wanted to kill us before the Iraq war, and they still do.

I would like to see the people that are against all the fighting that we are doing now to protect us what their opinion would be with a large knife around their necks waiting for the pull that separates them from their body! Cant we just all get along? How much do they need to understand that this is not time out, this is serious!

Obviously a ploy by the democratic congress, not GWB…. Their approval ratings are nearing “single” digits with absolutely no ‘positive’ legislation on the horizon! An attack on the ‘homeland’, depending on its severity, would be this failed congress’ bumper sticker of “bringing the military home to protect its OWN homeland”. The failed democratic congress and the media will successfully convince the American people that once again GWB is the blame. An attack could get the democratic-controlled congress’ approval ratings back in the 40′s……..

I agree with Dane Breitzig. His comment was true. Bush is on his way out and he does not really care about his ratings. The fact of the matter is that it has been almost 6 years since we were attacked and if there is one thing that the administration has done, it is keeping us safe. There have been many instances were plots were stopped were stopped. I do not agree with everything that Bush is doing but he has kept us safe. We need to keep in mind that the enemy we face does not wear a uniform and it is easier for them to operate when people distrust their government and want their President to fail just because of his party affiliation. We should all maintain a high state of vigilance and support our leaders and our soldiers. If , in our darkest hour, we do not, our country will fall. I love my country and everyone in it too much to see that happen.

interesting to note that bush and company slammed kerry when he said the war on terror was an intelligence and law enforcement issue.
now, bush and co. are having WEEKLY meetings of intelligence and law enforcement to combat terrorism.

“A” (there is more than one)definition of Fascism is when ordinary people no longer have the freedom or ability to determine what is true, or not. It is easy to fabricate the truth when the average citizen is paralyzed by the complexity of their daily lives – it all reduces to what we have in common: Nationality. A nationalist agenda feeds off of preoccupation with fear and works to solidify its’ justifications by protecting “America for Americans,” – Terror, immigration, healthcare, wars, outsourcing, port security, etc.
During Bush’s tenure, I do not see any indication that ordinary citizens are able to tell truth from lies – now or in the past. Nor have I seen any personal accountability in those watchers who are charged with “watching the watchmen.”
V-

You libs amaze me first you blame Bush for trying to proctect us IE:wire taps, guntanimo bay, Preemtive war etc but then you will balme him when we get attacked again i do agree that the Iraq war is a mess but to think that he would purposly allow a attack your hate for Bush has blinded your rational thinking!

The level of ignorance displayed in some of these emails is truly disturbing.
The message from ‘cbmm’ deserves a response. First, apparently you never learned in your lefty foreign policy seminar in college that over 100 million people died because of communism in the last century. If you think the fight against communism was about fantasy, then I invite you to leave the bad old U.S. and go live with Putin in Russia. Ask Mr. Putin to declassify his files. If Russia is too cold for you and if you are little afraid of the KGB, then I invite you to go to to live under Mr. Castro in Cuba. And don’t forget to ask him to declassify as well.
Next, to those of you who think that the warnings and preparations concerning potential terrorist attacks are only about politics, I suppose 9/11 wasn’t enough to convince you otherwise.
Wake up people, the radical elements in the Muslim world want to create a Universal Ummah Wahida — or global community run by Islamic law where the ‘unbelievers’ are made subject to the sword of Islam. Wake up people, the Cold War isn’t over either. Just read what good old Mr. Putin is saying…

Many of these comments indeed prove that America will have to be hit again before some people will believe the threat from terrorists are real. Some promise to blame Bush is we are hit again, and yet these same folks refuse to give him a bit credit for no further hits in the past six years. Much of this is thanks to the constant degregation of the President by the Democrats and their handmaidens in the propaganda media.

God help this country.We are under a severe threat from our enemies and we blame President Bush.

If the present administration has no credibility on terror, the previous administration was demonstrably out to lunch and the current democratic leadership has their heads in the sand with their rear ends up and targeted for missles and roadside bombs. Then they will whine and snivel and blame the present administration, when in reality the are the leading cheering section for the terrorists. Anything to gain power, no matter how many die. The end justifies the means. Especially if it is our young men and women in the military dying. They are in DC all protected by the FBI and the present administration. As for impeaching Bush and Cheney, just throw my money down a rat hole. It is purely pay back for the impeachment proceedings of the last White House occupant. I will work day and night so he does not ever go into the White House again. Enough Said.

The threat is real. Unfortunately, the Bush administration has lost credibility with a large portion of the American public. I think that spells disaster.

The head line here in no way implies that the Administration was doing absolutely nothing until this week when Chertof said the “gut feeling” thing. They are racing to prevent the attack because they have been ignoring terrorist threats toward US populace? More bang up journalism guys, keep it up

RE: Posted by: Jessica | Jul 11, 2007 7:34:08 PM
Hey Jessica you and people who think like you are scarier than the terrorists. Although I guess you don’t believe in terrorists.

I’d like to reply to Dane Breitzig:
Inside the mind of an ACTUAL
Republican: “CLOSE THE BORDERS!”
It is irresponsible for you to assume that Republicans do not support border security. Next time you want to bash “typical” Republicans, try talking to an ACTUAL one. You may be surprised.

You might want to check first to see what the FBI informants are up to. They’re usually involved when things go boom.

Message above is not for Dane Brietzig, it is for “Bob”. Sorry Dane, I liked what you said.

While I agree that crying Wolf can be overdone, you people who express suspicion that the “evil” Bush would sound the alarm when his “poll numbers are down” may have a hard time explaining why this hasn’t happened any other time in the last several years, while Bush’s poll numbers have been chronically down. It’s not an election year, either, and as mentioned above, Bush will not be running for President ever again.
Looked at another way, is there ANY time in the last few years LESS opportunistic to express concern about increased terror risk?

With some of these conspiracy theories on this board, it’s no wonder that the Islamic fundamentalists celebrated when the Democrats took Congress right alongside these whacky liberals.
Most liberals know deep down that their freedom and prosperity rely on the very people they hate (the military, business, etc.) This hatred is derived from their own cowardness and utter lack of ability. Most of them (not all) are sad people who create little value in today’s society and need to feel empowered by creating conspiracies and denouncing courageous people.

To quote Terry Goodkind: “…to the people in the United States Intelligence Community who, for decades, have valiantly fought to preserve life and liberty, while being ridiculed, condemned, demonized, and shackled by the jackals of evil.”

Nothing would guarantee an attack more than appearing weak in Iraq. The quicker we turn tail and run out of there, the quicker we get hit again.

The people that serve in our Govt and Military are our neighbors, friends and family members….I can’t fathom how politics can blind you to point of stupidity. Maybe your friends, family and neighbors would scheme to kill thousands of innocent Americans but I can’t think on any of mine that would. Get real!

Oh, don’t worry, be happy. The 110th Congress, Nancy, Harry, Murtha and William “Cold Cash” Jeffreson are on the job. Are the first 100 hrs over yet?
Has the first woman Speaker cleaned up yet? I don’t mean bribes, I mean scandles… right? the Domocrats were going to set things right?
No reason to worry now…

It is patently obvious that the new battleground ought to be the tribal region along the Afghanistan-Pakistan border, and soon. We hear repeated references to that region as being a safe haven for those scumbag terrorists, yet amazingly we hear nothing about plans to wipe them out over there. Just what are we waiting for? Obviously the Pakistani troops, with their truce as to the “tribal leaders,” will not be purging that area so someone else needs to. I believe the report about Al Queada reconstituting there – now what are we going to do about it? The lack of information in response to that question is infuriating and, in and of itself, terrifying.

Despite the Left’s repeated attempts to undermine our national security and the administration’s efforts to counter terrorism, we have yet to be attacked since 9-11. Liberals are too stubborn to credit Bush with this. They still think HE is the greatest threat.

My mother (80) is brainwashed, she tells me “we were not really attacked on 9/11/2001 – not the entire country – why, they (al Qaeda) bombed one of those buildings (WTC) when Clinton was president. My mother adores Bill Clinton.

We are not dealing with rational people. These fanatics will use anything as an excuse, it has very little if anything to do with our going to Iraq. Government facilities and high profile places are probably reasonably protected but I truly worry about the soft targets. If an attack happens we may have to do like Israel and have every public building with metal detectors and security.

Dear God, people. Do you think that the Islamists give a darn who is president? They want to kill us and do away with Western society. Despite this obvious fact lots of you are still singing the I Hate Bush song. What is wrong with you. This is exactly what they want, divide us and defeat us from within. Nikita would be proud.

If the comments represent current American opinion, we might as well convert to Islam. We are a weak nation with no backbone. The USA will never be able to sustain a long term war against anyone at anytime, anywhere. We should just surrender and get it over with.

A. Brown, denial? Are you kidding? Most of us think he’s going to do more harm than good. That is the point.

Let me just say this. It scares the crap out of me that liberal wackos like the majority of these posters could be my neighbor. You people need to wake up, put down your lattes and get a clue. The threat of terrorism is real. I guess you guys forgot about 9/11…..Oh, wait a minute, George Bush orchestrated that didn’t he!!!!! There is no winning with you people. Before anything happens you claim the threat isn’t real and after it happens you like to point fingers at Republicans. I would love to see your comments if Clinton was still in office. Bottom line is all of you libs put politics before security.

Whose daddy was once head of CIA, has a brother that was largely unknown till 911 and the family oil company got a 7 Billion dollar contract in 2000 from a little Arab country, which is worth How Much Now?????, in todays situation

Hey Mikey,
If the Brits had a Guantanamo they might have spared themselves a lot of grief.

To the Republicans saying that Democrats don’t like the military or business: can you honestly believe that? we’re all AMERICANS.
To the Democrats who claim this is another fear tactic, or suggest that our own govt. may be behind an attack: Why would President Bush care if his poll numbers went up? And how would an attack on US soil benefit Republicans? George Bush’s big thing has been that with him in power, there hasnt been another major attack. An attack on US soil with him in power makes HIM look bad.
To everyone: Give President Bush credit where credit is due; there has not been another major attack on US soil since 9/11. However, why on earth when we know the general area of where these terrorists are hiding in Pakistan do we not do everything in our power to get rid of them? While we have been sacrificing some of our best and brightest in Iraq, our true #1 threat Al Qaeda has regained its pre-September 11th strength.
I am a moderate Democrat. This country would be a lot better off if A) Democrats and Republicans stopped spewing their hate and generalizations about each other, and B) if we could learn to treat each other as fellow Americans, all of whom want only the best for OUR United States of America.
As Robert F. Kennedy once said:
“That which unites us is, must be, stronger than that which divides us. We can concentrate on what unites us, and
secure the future for all our children; or we can concentrate on what devides us, and fail our duty through argument and resentment and waste.”

Too bad the military has kicked out a ton of (gay) Arab linguists….they could have been used to go through the “mountain” of information.

Ok you guys…the “Bush’s approval is down so they want to create (or accept) an attack they can blame on the terrorists” thing is really an idiotic concept. Why not say Congress is pulling the strings…their approval rating is even lower than Bush’s…as an independent its clear the Amercian public is fed up with the Democrats in Congress playing games…and fed up with Republicans playing games…the people don’t trust the gov’t period. How else do you explain all branches of gov’t with less than 30% approval ratings!!! They all are playing political games…when we the people want action…there is a real threat from terrorists…illegal immigration is bankrupting us (the citizens whose taxes keep going up to pay for the freebies for illegals)…police, schools, social security, medicare, the medical field in general are all affected by millions of FREE illegals spending tax payer dollars at US citizens expense…and to top it off a bunch of terrorists just want to annilate us…as they laugh at our smug politicans playing cash cow games for their own agendas…not the peoples! So blame the whole lot of them…not just Bush…not just Republicans…not just Democrats…they all have terrible approval ratings cause they ain’t getting the job done…and the terrorists know that! So start praying…

“In the councils of government, we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the military-industrial complex. The potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists and will persist.” Dwight D. Eisenhower in his 1961 farewell address.
1 – GOP Senators Call for Iraq Change Now…
2 – CLASSIFIED REPORT: AL QAEDA AT PRE-9/11 STRENGTH
3 – ABCNEWS: White House, FBI Agents Race to Disrupt ‘Summer of ’07′ Threat…
4 – Fred Thompson who will be the GOP Presidential candidate – Thompson was responsible for Sen. Baker asking one of the questions that is said to have led directly to the downfall of President Richard Nixon—”What did the President know, and when did he know it?”
5 – In his 1975 memoir At That Point in Time, Thompson wrote that he divulged to the White House the committee’s knowledge of the Watergate tapes, which provided the evidence that led to Nixon’s resignation.
So here we have it in a nutshell, The 2008 election is at hand, all the GOP runners at this time have not a change at all.A terrorist attck will happen before the election and will assist in the GOP winning the 2008 election. Hillary Clinton has been and is at this momment anti-millitary she always has been and always will be. so go figure the big picture out.

You IDIOTS – go back and keep rosie company.

My gut feeling is we’re ripe for an attack, and this isn’t something being staged to improve Bush’s poll numbers. Think about it….
Our military ground forces are mentally and physically tired from doing repeated tours in Iraq and Afghanistan for over four years now. Bush refuses to either withdrawal or give them a longer rest period before going back. Although our Navy and Air Force aren’t anywhere near as stretched, their role would be pretty limited if attacked on our own soil.
We’ve wasted over 3/4 of a trillion dollars already on Iraq, Afghanistan, and trying to beef up security at select places like airports, government buildings, and monuments. Yet, our borders are still extremely porous. Civilian first responders haven’t been adequately funded. There’s been little to no central guidance in how to spend money to effectively prevent or react to a terrorist attack locally. So, most money given out to states for Homeland Security has been wasted.
Frankly, there isn’t enough money in the entire world for us to secure everything in this country. Our elected officials were idiots to even try. Bad guys can simply pick from numerous choices something that hasn’t been secured like our food supply. Duh!
More importantly, many people in our country are pretty demoralized right now. Look how many here are so angry they automatically don’t believe Bush and his goons anymore. Best time to attack is when your opponent is weak and mentally down. I’m no Bush fan, but my gut feeling is we’re overdue.

Judging from many posts on this site many on the left believe that the threat from terrorism is a political gimmick cooked up by Bush/Cheney rather than a real danger. Similar ranting by a liberal acquaintance of mine caused me to ask him whose side he was on in the war on terror. He replied that he was a “neutral”. My guess is that if there is another attack the lefties will soon be clamoring for us to surrender to the terrorists rather than fight them.

The scariest thing, reflected in these posts, are how many people can’t be bothered to study history, and face facts.
Starting with the Founding Fathers opinion about government, and the history of a “blowback heavy” foreign policy.
Iran, 1953, Dr. Mohammed Mosaddeq the democratically elected Prime Minister, was ousted during a coup, CIA’s “Operation Ajax”. The Shah failed, fled to Baghdad, and returned after another coup was successful.
In the event your history meter is set to “stupid”, that didn’t work out so well.
In the early 1980′s a guy named Saddam Hussein became the darling of the U.S.’s geo-political game, and was sold Bell Helicopters and a ton of other items, some of which were used to gas Kurds in Northerrn Iraq. We knew about it, but continued to fill Hussein’s shopping list.
In the event your history meter is set to “stupid”, that didn’t work out so well.
There was a guy on the CIA’s payroll, named Manuel Noriega, who later rose to power as El Presidente of Panama. He decided he no longer wanted to play geo-politics Americana style…….
…. once again, in the event your history meter is set to “stupid”, that didn’t work out so well.
There isn’t enough space to keep filling out the historical record here, about what we did DIRECTLY AGAINST the sound advice of the Founding Fathers, and the guidance of the Constitution…..
…. but, n the event your history meter is set to “stupid”, NONE of these escapades have worked out so well.
I’m wondering, is there ANYBODY, who can see the elephant, standing in the middle of the room? Or are we all just that stupid, at this point in our history?

Become self sufficient

Bill Clinton said of bin Laden…
“I tried harder than anyone to get him”
“Nobody tried as hard as I did to get him”

Standupamerica: You’ve got it all wrong. The bin Laden video was excellently timed before the 2004 election. They knew that many Americans dislike foreigners telling us how to vote, and we historically rally around our president when scared. The video was specifically released to get Bush reelected because he’s been their best recruiting tool. Terrorists used to work hard to get people to join. After our invasion of Iraq and up through today, large numbers of people have actively sought them out to volunteer thanks to him.
You should understand by now that all al Qaeda operatives are expendable. When one is killed or imprisoned, there’s one or more willing to take his place. The GWOT is an ideological war just like the war on drugs, war on poverty, and war on crime. We have NEVER won an ideological war. We will NEVER win against terrorism using military force.

NOTICE!!: It is now well known that most of the right wing comments on these blogs are posted by educated, connected, Young Republicans in DC and other major cities. Their goal: disrupt and distort any common sense discourse on the disasters the Bush Admin has visited upon the US. Their “tells” are many but the most obvious are their attacks on commie liberals who “support the terrorists”; how desperate the terrorists are to have a liberal Democrat in the White House,and what traitors the commie liberals are to question the pure-hearted motives of our President and his most virtuous Vice President.
Think about it. Are the ultra wealthy actually sitting around writing these long vitriolic posts? And what about the rest of “the base”? Bubba has a 1993 PC with dial-up internet. Is HE plugging away at the PC expressing his undying devotion to Prez Bush? – or is he out in the garage putting a new head gasket on his 1981 Camaro?
We’re on to you young trust fund Skips and Buffy’s. You’ll be leaving DC in early ’09. I plan on buying your way cool condos at sheriff’s auction!

And at the same time some Americans are reluctant to report suspicious activity 1) for fear of being considered a racist or engaged in profiling or 2) for fear that CAIR and/or the ACLU will sue them if the information is proven not to be terrorism related. Remember that Rep. Peter King’s act to preclude such law suits was voted against by 121 democrats.

Brinkmanship is the practice of pushing a dangerous situation to the verge of disaster in order to achieve the most advantageous outcome. It occurs in international politics, foreign policy and (in contemporary settings) in military strategy involving the threatened use of nuclear weapons.
This maneuver of pushing a situation to the brink succeeds by forcing the opposition to back down and make concessions. This might be achieved through diplomatic maneuvers by creating the impression that one is willing to use extreme methods rather than concede. During the Cold War, the threat of nuclear force was often used as such an escalating measure.

michaelyon-online….”Like many things in Iraq, the question of whether or not the murderers were al Qaeda is flawed from beginning. Al Qaeda is not a union, it doesn’t issue passports. What is al Qaeda but the collection of people who claim to be al Qaeda? Those responsible for murdering and burying those bodies in al Ahamir (or al Hamira) had the markers of al Qaeda, the same al Qaeda that had boastfully installed itself as the shadow government of Baqubah. The al Qaeda who committed atrocities in Afghanistan, New York . . . the list is long. As for al Ahamir, the massacre “walks like a duck.” It happened in duck headquarters. The people here say the duck did it. The duck laughs.”

1. What was on the “long list” of unaccounted for weapons referred to by chief U.N.
weapons inspector Hans Blix?
The “long list” of weapons and weapons-related material that was “unaccounted for” on
March 19, 2003, the day coalition forces entered Iraq, included:
• up to 3.9 tons of VX nerve agent178
• 6,526 aerial chemical bombs, containing about one thousand tons of chemical
agent (primarily Mustard but also Sarin and Tabun )179
• 550 mustard gas shells180
• 2,062 tons of Mustard precursors that could produce “limited quantities of high
quality Mustard”181
• 15,000 chemical munitions182
• 8,445 liters of anthrax183
• Growth media that could produce “3,000 – 11,000 litres of botulinum toxin, 6,000
– 16,000 litres of anthrax, up to 5,600 litres of Clostridium perfringens, and a
significant quantity of an unknown bacterial agent.”184
• at least 15 biological warheads185
2. Saddam Hussein’s Iraq denied that it had successfully weaponized the nerve agent
VX for military use. What did UN inspectors believe?

The majority of the comments here reveal how well major media has done its job in dumbing down America. While Democrats are picking out curtains for the White House, the enemy grins and plans our destruction. Robotized idiots spew the party line precisely as media spin directs them. They gravitate to arcane and absurd conspiracy theories as they Blame America First for terrorism because of Bush, Cheney, Haliburton, Big Oil, The Rich, Global Warming, Christians or any number of such ridiculous but politically correct targets. These Fools scare and anger me. God Protect our Children.

Charles Foy, the Jihad train has already left the middle east…and is headed for the U.S. Recycle the white flags so you and your friends can greet the enemy. Maybe, Mr. Foy, you can pursuade the Jihadists to lay down their finatic beliefs and join us funloving Americans.

Due to the overwelming evidence that there was Gov[?] involvment on 911.
I would say that this is the big set up for the disaster before elections, so he can impose a marshall law, stay in power and take control for as long as “HE” feels the country is “Un-safe”
Never under estimate the greed of the other guy. Power does strange things to people…and this guy has real problems in that area.
Then there is the Black Opps VP position that is above the law, because it is a top secret branch of the Gov.LOL
Doesn’t look good to me for the long run.
Tom

When has Bush ever cared about his poll numbers? He doesn’t change his views just because they aren’t well-received by you. You are pre-blaming Bush for attacks that haven’t happened yet. When a suicide bomber attacks within the US, God forbid, you will blame Bush. (Sorry to those of you I have offended for using the evil “G-D” word.
So, have you thanked Bush for 6 years of NO ATTACKS?! Did you thank Bush for not bringing in the HURRICANES last year that you blamed him for the prior year?
For such an idiot, he sure knows how to control things that seem uncontrollable.
Who said this: “We know Saddam is producing chemicals of mass destruction. We know he’s used them before. We know he’s trying to build nuclear weapons. He is a direct threat tto democracy, and the US.”
George BUsh? Yeah, maybe in other words. But so did Bill Clinton, Hillary Clinton, John Kerry, the United Nations. The UN gave Saddam enough time to hide the nuclear weapons in Syria. Oh BTW we HAVE found nuclear weapons materials inside Iraq. The media just doesn’t tell us about it. Do the research and you’ll find it.
Peace to all.

the only possible reaction any enemy of america could have to reading the comment section of this story is to rub their hands together in glee. if abc’s intent is to bolster our enemy’s morale while eroding our own, mission accomplished. any jihadist reading thru this crap is going to think he’s doing us a favor by exterminating us.

Lame. “Summer of ’07″ is just copping off the ‘Summer of Sam’ scare. ‘Summer of Chatter?’ Bushco really infuriates me with their lack of creativity. How about ‘Summer of Slaughter?’ You can attribute it to someone on a (fake) ‘jihadist message board.’

You kids today! I recall when 9,000+ Soviet nuke missiles were aimed at our cities and now you’re all fainting because a few thousand terrorists might cause the deaths of a few hundred.
Your odds of dying in a car crash are far greater; should we declare war on Detroit and Japan?
Someone wrote: We have not had an attack since 9/11/2001. I am frankly suprised by that.
Why? They typically launch an attack on our homeland once every 8 or 9 years. All that’s changed is they can communicate globally via the Net. But it takes them years to plan out a major attack. That’s been the pattern in the past 20 years, with or without a new Cabinet agency.
All indications suggest we’ve created more terrorists by our actions in Iraq. Kill my family and you bet I’ll join a retaliatory effort too.
Guantamo spared us no terrorism. Torture gained nothing either. We were warned the terrorists would attack if Kerry got elected. But if it comes, it will be because Bush failed in the terror war, not because of Dems.
This is our weakest enemy since Spain in 1898. And Bush can’t handle it. How many wars can one president lose?

Wow… there’s no better word to describe my sheer embarassment at the pettiness that humanity has dropped to. You people are so warped with partisan politics that the moment your hear the words “Republican” or “Remocrat” they conjur specific images and that is extremely ignorant and hypocritical.
Not every Republican is a rich, white Christian man. Not every Democrat is a pot smoking hippie. These stereotypes are elementary and are doing nothing but hindering progress within our nation! Why not try throwing out the stereotypes and talk to someone before you judge? Wouldn’t you hope someone would extend you the same courtesy?
Also, for those who complain about the way our government functions, if you don’t like it, then CHANGE IT! You have the power to get up off your computer and get involved in this nation’s government! The only thing stopping you is apathy and laziness, neither of which are very admirable qualities. So, before you complain, why not think of what YOU can do to work towards the America you want?
To talk on a more personal note, I don’t like associating myself with a party, but I would probably fall closer to Republican than Democrat. I classify myself as a conservative with a libertarian streak. I am not a fan of our current administration, but things could be a lot worse for which I am extremely thankful. I am also thankful that I live in a nation where there is no bounds on what I can achieve, if I work hard enough, I can do it. I know it because I’ve lived it. Life isn’t easy, but if you’re determined enough, you can do whatever you set your mind on.
Please put down the swords of partisanship and stop judging people on titles. It is immature, petty, and ridiculous. Let’s be adults here and leave the school yard bullying behind.

With the cynical “mentally ill” leftists in full throttle Bush derangement syndrome mode, how can The White House win?
The Dems complain no matter what “W” does.
It is unbelievable, but there are 2 enemies in the world, and one is the Democrat Party and their sycophant Leftist media right here in our own country, the American people’s safety be damned…

i think the american public needs to know whats going on people still arent well informd.together we can stop this.

Will the terrorist train in the US (Florida flight schools) this time?
Will the White House listen to FEDs (ABLE DANGER) this time or tell them to shut up?

the military complex and alphabet agencies have now crossed the rubicon. there is no turning back now.
our once great republic is now ruled by the emperor and his staff.
history repeats but never quite the same
as i doubt the sentors wifes will be auctioned into prostitution just yet as a show of power, nontheless, the house and senate are powerless show pieces.
judicial power also has been sold off, not much left, just to raise your arm
and say “hail emperor”.

I think most of the people that do not believe this threat do not live in high threat areas. Very easy for them not to worry. It will hit home for them when it is in their back yard, or someone they know is affected by a terrorist plot. This is all just hatred for Bush. I personally cant’t wait for 08′. It will be interesting to see how they treat a new republican president. God Bless America!!!!!!!!

it’s o.k. to be somewhat skeptical and paranoid..but thinking everything bad is a government plot is not only nutty, but dangerous..we have real enemies out there!! Don’t muddy the water with overreaching conspiracy crap..maybe some of you bloggers need to take a break, walk outside, and realize you are still on the planet.

The Bush administration trys to be proactive and they get slammed. What ever they do they are going to get slammed. Why don’t those who are against the president just say that they would rather have our country attacked than to see a sucessful republican president. If you think about it the Bush administration is cleaning up the mess Bill Clinton refused to touch. Woops would not want to ruin his place in history by getting involved in a war.
Maybe if Bill Clinton was doing the business of the office istead of being done by one of his interns in the oval office we would not have to go after the terrorists.
I have an idea: Support our President who is fighting for your right to complain about him. Or Leave America?

So let me get this straight. The administration is releasing this info now to bolster their poll numbers so don’t believe them, do nothing. But if there is a terroist attack here BLAME the Bush administration. Damned if you do, damned if you don’t. That’s a no win situation if ever there was one. Oh, by the way it was NextAttack, not Fedup, who implied that George Bush was playing on our fears to gain support.

Don’t forget. Not only does the Bush administration have to fight Al Queda, they also have to fight the democrats. The democrats joined with Al Queda several years ago and have been on Al Queda’s side ever since. If the democrats had decided to fight Al Queda the war would have been won and over by now. But not the democrats, they are against everyone except the people fighting Bush.

Hold on here…Sen. Edwards said there was not a War of Terror…so what are we worried about.

It is really amazing how Bush hatred converts people into drooling conspiracy theorists.
Some of these entries are so fantastic that it would be funny if they weren’t so pathetic. Bush may not be everyone’s flavor of the day and he may or not be one of our worst presidents but to suggest that he wants an attack or that this is all hype is delusional. I suppose that Karl Rove set up the London attack as part of this plot? Maybe VP Cheney is setting up at night generating suspicious emails and internet postings to keep the FBI occupied?
This country needs people to put aside political hatred and look at the real issues. Would we really be better off with politicians who deny that there is a threat?

It’s okay to be afraid, and if nonsupport of the war helps you deal with your fear… then keep posting your “Chicken Little” thoughts…

I’ve been a Democrat for over 30 years, but not anymore. I’m sick and tired of my own party telling lie after lie about the surge not working when it’s only been in existence for 3 weeks now. The numbers of attacks against civilians are way down, the number of IED and VIED are way down. The Iraqi communities are ratting out terrorists right and left now that our troops are staying and setting up camp in their neighborhoods after clearing out the bad guys. I tell ya, you have to read more than the New York Times and washington Post to get to the facts. BTW, the AP can’t be trusted to get factual stories out of Iraq, they have been cought over 40 times in the last two years spitting out unconfirmed and undocumented bogus stories given to them by Iraqi stringers with an adjenda. Their bogus stories have been well documented, google search for yourself, “bogus AP stories Iraq” We need to wake up and smell the coffee! Go Joe!

Maybe you should all do what another South Park episode suggested…dig a hole and hide your heads in the sand. This is how to deal with the threat. After all, any proactive effective steps to stop the terrorist threat will be gutted by liberals and ethnocentric special interest pressure groups (I’m talking about you, CAIR). After all, it is better that 10,000 Americans die than we be thought of as racist or insensitive. And the Democrats could care less about our security. It is more important that they score political points against Bush and Republicans than keep this country safe.
Perhaps a terror attack is what this country needs and deserves. Maybe this will kill Political Correctness once and for all, and convince liberals that war on terror is more than just a bumper sticker slogan invented by Bush, and that this is the worst threat we have faced since Nazism.

Bottom line: We beat Germany and Japan, but we can’t handle this???
I have to believe that we just don’t *want* to handle this, which leads to some interesting possibilities, all of which are just horrendous.
Perhaps after another 9/11 we’ll get serious and make these vermin go away. unless, of course, that other agenda is actually in play.
I don’t want to be a conspiracist, but…

Select the administration and party of our choice and understand that this group of insanely violent radicalists have been successfully attacking this country, foreign and domestic, through all administrations up to the 1st WTC bombing and all without a blog whimper. 911 arrives and the tin foil hat conspiracy circles purchase webspace and convert up to 40% of the drivel sucking U.S population to the congregation of the GWB/Military Industrial Complex shape charge 911 wrecking ball revival.
Logic on this topic is circling down the toilet faster than the men & women are dying in Iraq and Afghanistan and possibly only these soldiers understand that Shariai / Whabist radical islamists wanted to kill your children during Bush 1, spooled up under Clinton and are now ramped up to speed under the bumbler. This is everybody’s problem. Fight them now or fight them later we will fight them. Pull out and let them regroup, go back in 10 we are actually forced to feel & sacrifice for the war. Not just “keep shopping” at the Galleria.
There may be a few day care centers wiped out and minor explosions along the way but we can live like the Israelis do cant we?
Take off the tinfoil hats and stop having the world believe that a Government that cant deliver your mail and passports or a tightened border could pull something like this off in secrecy. Conspiracy beliefs at this time can mean the end of our society. You are almost as frightening as the ones attempting to acquire nukes nti.org ……step away from the Kool-Aid

So many Americans on both sides of the aisle do not acknowledge that America is committing wrongs to maintain her position in the world.
Just like the school yard bully we are a part of the reason why we have such brazen enemies. American MSM rarely shows its citizens unedited world opinion of our global behavior: thus, creating a controlled propagandize populace who self-righteous can’t fanthom why foreigners hate them.
Scores of Americans can’t fanthom that our government has become the Director of a large economic corporation and its need to survive and prosper depends naturally on it making other countries dependent and submissive to our will. And, in part our lack of MSM coverage of the world is what makes us immune to 100,000 deaths in Iraq, but blood thirsty when we suffer 4,000 deaths.
Those our government calls extremists at one level definitely are just [that], but on the other hand, our position as a superpower is extreme as well as we make others submit to our political, social and economic will. Thus, any government or group which does not accept that the US has the natural right to be in charge, is an extremist; but as such, such an extremist is not necessarily morally wrong, but demonized because he exposes the exploits of America and her imperialism.
Bottomline: as long as we believe our government has the right to decide the future of others based on how we perceive the world should be constructed: we will continue to face opposition willing to die, not because they hate our freedom, but because they hate what our government does for corporate greed centers in the name of Christian morality and deceny.
So quit your whinning, we and our government are a part of this same problem. As, my mother would say, people who live in glass houses should not throw stones.
In all of these posts, not one poster has connected the dots from the American white culture which has sowed the seeds of discontent no matter where it goes.
Grow up, and look in the mirror at your own culture and history.

Keith, Mike & Walt-
You all are about the only people on here with any common sense. Americans in general are clueless of the real danger and true nature of Radical Islam. One of you said what they hate most about America is its liberal values. That is SO TRUE. Anyone with any knowledge of the root beliefs of Fundamental Islam understands this.
I believe all the evil happening in the world today is clearly prophetic and is laid out in the Bible. That is a whole other topic we could discuss for days on end. But why would the average American know this when the average American is not a Bible reader and follower of Christ?
“Mystery Babylon the Great”??? – Could it be the U.S.? I do believe the wrath of GOD is going to happen sometime in my lifetime. How much worse off can the world possibly get before GOD intervenes to save the earth from total annihilation? Anyone who pays close attention to current world events and still is not convinced of an imminent “end times” theory, I believe is fooling themselves. When exactly GOD decides to unleash his judgment is a mystery to us all.
One thing I am sure of, the United States is the youngest and most blessed nation on earth. Sadly, our great country, whose independence was founded on ethical values such as freedom of life, liberty and happiness, and whose national anthem directly saluted GOD (at least until a recently growing crazy group of far left secular progressives said it was unconstitutional to have the holy word in the song), has remained deceived for over 6 decades. Just look at our hate speech laws and the ironic theft of civil rights they have caused, special interest groups, who through their one-sided views attempt to play a major deciding factor in elections, our political correctness ( one of our biggest weakness), and our shameful general attitude of apathy. The new age notion of human enlightenment is ludicrous and irresponsible and its followers are in denial. Unfortunately, many of our government leaders and candidates today follow this belief. It is sad how deceived and out of touch with reality our leaders have become. When a country becomes so culturally diverse that it can no longer define and agree on its core values, it will eventually collapse. History for the last 4000 years has proven this to be a fact.
Wake up people!!!

I have 2 words from a very reliable source. AMERICAN HIROSHIMA google it. that is what is comming to a city near you 7 of them according to terrorist sources.
northeast intelligence network has more info on this, but google the words I gave you and do not trust me without doing your own hoomework
May God have mercy on us, because everyone else hates us.

Rockerfella & Kissenger are filling up their summer suv’s with jugs of Iranian fuel, and they are headed straight for the front door of the white house. Isn’t this what they always wanted, a created chaos that would set America on a path to tighter security? An occasion that would make Americans want to be policed better, in the means of a national ID card??? I got one thing to add to the chatter Don’t step one evil hoof on my property.

Taliban graduation ceremony is mere a photo opportunity for Afghan politicians.
Regarding present graduating batch Maulvi Dadullah will be open for head money or gun for hire through CIA/ISI.
My guess is America will be fed up with Karzai verses Taliban game and Afghan control will go from Nato to UN peace keepers. Following that representative vote or grand jirga will set first stone towards meaningful Afghan peace.
Afghans are hard working, friendly to visitors and tourists, unless some one happens to be promiscuous or invader. But as such grand pipe line project has pretty much cleared of boulders in rocky terrain, which otherwise had been impossible for mechanical excavation.
American imperialists will see if they can get free right of way for gas pipeline through Karzai or renegotiate with Taliban, who happen to have refused earlier.
On the question of royality for the pipeline route through Baluchistan-Pakistan Akbar Bugti had been elinated.
Geopolitical changes in subcontinent due to external intrest is like a puzzle or chess, it is to be seen in that vision and context.

This is not about bush, its about all the Dem’s and leftist that hate America and the freedoms we have. But I say this when the terrorists attack again and they will, The anti bush, war, freedom, flag flying, leftist will run behind the true red blooded war fighting freedom carrying people to hide and keep them safe. I say push them out from there cover and in front of the true Americans. from Rosie, bill maher, Michael more, and all the other hate filled gropes

More fearmongering!!! Republicans are getting very desperate because they are about to lose the White House in 2008!!!! They can do this all they want and lower gas prices again and people will vote for a democratic president. They are only doing this to get votes which in 2006 midterm elections this did not work!!!

Bush said we’re fighting them in Iraq so we don’t have to fight them here.
Cheney and others here say we haven’t had an attack since 9/11/01 because this administration has protected us.
Well we’re still fighting them in Iraq and ths Cheney/Bush administration is still in place. So what’s there to worry about here? Bush and Cheney aren’t feeding us B.S., are they?
