View Full Version : Terrorist alert imminent ?
What with all the bad news hitting the neocons, can it be long before we get another terrorist alert ? My guess is it will come in the next two days.

I will agree. The Right has had many problems in last few months. I'm kinda getting a little sympathetic with them.
Now it looks as if Meirs might not be confirmed. What a debacle this could be for Bush.
2000 dead in IRAQ (Sheehan's outside tied up to the WH gates until all troops are home. She'll be waiting a long, long time :D )
Indictments could be handed down today against Bush hacks.
Those are just a few. Didn't mention NRG or hurricanes

Bobby,
You should show as much sympathy as they are showing the common folk in America. See my thread on pensions.

For now. I figure by next year when its 2750 troops dead, & oil companies continue to rape the American people of trillions of $. And giant conglomerates continue to cut employee health benefits and make them work longer for less pay, then people will start to see the light and start voting with their pocket book in mind - and that's for the Democrats.
Maybe they already are seeing it!

Go to dictionary.com and type in "terrorism". You'll find this:
The unlawful use or threatened use of force or violence by a person or an organized group against people or property with the intention of intimidating or coercing societies or governments, often for ideological or political reasons.
Now if that doesn't sound like GWB,I don't know what does.

Break loose with a couple bucks of your tax refund and buy the magazine, you will find you are wrong in your statement above.
Note I said two days. indictments sometimes take time. :D Usually the neocons wait until the polls come in before issuing their terror alert.

To make a comparison of Bush to scum-sucking savage animals like Al Qeda is just plain sick and demented. You don't like someone's poltics, try to find an adult way to respond - this schoolyard crap is unwarrented.

Why shouldn't Iraqis handle terrorism inside Iraq while we chase them down elsewhere? There would not be so mant in Iraq if we could stop them inside Syria. I do not think we have won too many wars by stopping chasing enemies when they go over a certain border. We are limiting ourselves to the borders of Iraq and terrorist have a free hand in surrounding countries.
26 million Iraqis can handle their own defense if they want to; We did not pressure other countries enough to help train them.

You also must consider my follow up. Stating the neocons usually wait for the polls to come in before issuing their terrorist alerts. To expand on this I will say they usually issue their alerts to make sure the "bad" news does not get legs. As the indictments have not been issued yet the two day limit will not start until the indictments are issued. If there are no indictments there will not be an alert. I would hope they would not "stage" an actual terrorist attack.
Your prize will be determined at a later date but i am leaning towards a copy of this week's Time Magazine.
With the timely announcement of Alita's nomination a terror alert may not be required at this time. ;)

You will act out and display your usual crassness whenever you disagree with someone. Hopefully Bush has learned his lesson and will really go on the offensive against the left. Instead of placating them, he will start cutting some heads off, as he should.
he doesn't need to get approval from anyone. He is the boss and he needs to start acting like it.

Yeah, Chuck Shumer is a real right wing zealot. A lot of folks from both sides opposed her, some prominant liberals were among the loudest (which was stupid on their part, they would have been better off keeping their mouths shut - when you enemy is destoying himself, let him).
Funny, they say the withdrawl of Harriet was a crushing blow for Bush. Uh, he did NOT withdraw her name, SHE did.
Fat Ted said Bush bowed to the right wingers. SHE withdrew her name, NOT Bush.
Fat Ted said that it was inappropriate to use litmus tests for nominees when the right objected to Harriet, but is the first to "Rush" in wtih his own when HE disagrees with the noiminee.
It is time to shove this new guy down the left side's throat.
(hehehe.......they got what they wished for)
BTW, Ljb.......when again was that terror alert supposed to happen? :lol:

And of course, your anti-Bush mindset does not allow for the fact, that in these days of terror hits everywhere, that there might be a real terror alert. You are not fooling with the Clinton's here, though that's the stuff you're used to. I'd rather have the terror alert than be cght flatfooted. You guys are setting yourself up so you can criticize with or without a terror strike. Not surprising.

Your probably right Lefty. There will be another terror attack. Its just a matter of time IMO. However, with that said, I think everyone should agree that the alerts shouldn't be used to sway voters attitudes or opinions.

Does that mean an indictment is a conviction? And that a man's not innocent until proven guilty? Or are you trying to say Billy Dale wasn't declared innocent? The Clinton's not only fired this man, but that wasn't enough. They tried to destroy him. He was found not guilty in less than an hour. Now Dems are working overtime trying to destroy Republicans. My eyes are wide Mr. neutral. Eyes wide.

lbj, the budget was balanced at the insistence if the 94 Congress. Didn't get balanced before that did it. The deficit was not nil. Meanwhile the economy based on tax raises and overpriced stocks was bound to come dn and it did, just before he left office. Also Enron was skinning it's investors at this time and Bin Ladin was planning 9-11. And don't forget the attacks on our embassies and the U.S.S. Cole. Yeah, good times: for fools.

The truth is this President has borrowed more money than the total of ALL Presidents put together since Washington. Yes, that doesn't count for inflation, but is incredible in scope, and if the CBO is right and their estimates are correct that deficit will expand by 2012 dramatically.
I am not a big fan of Bill Clinton but there was a minimal attempt to contain deficit spending. Whether that is attributable to the Contract with America or not, the attempt occurred.
Nobody wins with this kind of spending going on. Nobody.
