Fear-Mongering Over-Riding Logic or "Can they have their cake and eat it"
RE: Terrorist Threats On the Election and BUSCHO record on Stopping/thwarting Terrorism

Tom Ridge comes out and scares everybody when the news cycle is going against them and John Squared is getting relativly good press. Saying in effect that AL-QUADIA will attack us to disrupt the election.

Bush and Cheney before and at the same time tout "How their handeling of terrorism after 9/11 has made us safer from AL-QUADIA terrorsim.

Anybody see anything wrong with this picture?


Question? If Al-Quadia stikes us again before the election then
how has Buscho made us safer from terrorsim?

Answer: They have not made us safer from Terrorism

Even any bottom-feeding dittohead/freeper should be able to figure this out. Of course, they'll blame it on civil liberties, but what are you going to do with this fear-mongering fascism anyway.

I should get paid by cable news for my analysis that a monkey should be able to do.

1. I don't think they care one bit if it does not make sense
they have gotten away with almost everything they send out--be it totally illogical or not. People do not seem to care that they are being lied to. Media does not help and is just as apathetic.

That is the pattern for the past three and half years.


There is no outrage. Bush knows it, sees it and feels it and so anything goes. Any lie, any spin and contradiction will be summarily taken care of , or not. It does not matter. They forge ahead in their hubris and get away with it.

3. So true. It's so infuriating
that Bush and Co. STILL says that they had to invade Iraq after September 11 even in the face of all of the reports, et al, that tell us that Iraq had nothing to do with September 11. And they still talk about the WMDs that Saddam had even though that has been debunked. It drives me wild! And some ordinary folks still believe it! Amazing. And, yes, we are told that we are safer now since Saddam is out of power while Hamid Karzi (spelling?) says he must have help to overcome the warlords, etc. in Afganistan in order to hold on to a semblance of government there where the real terrorist s were trained. And Osama is probably holed up somewhere between Afghanistan and Pakistan. Why don't they concentrate on that area?

2. IF we are in danger and only W can keep us safe, why are we in danger?
