Bush sees London attacks as reason for Patriot Act

By Bill Sammonand Audrey Hudson
THE WASHINGTON TIMES
July 21, 2005

President Bush yesterday invoked the terrorist attacks in London as a compelling reason for Congress to renew the USA Patriot Act and for local governments to beef up security on mass-transit systems.
"As we saw in London, the terrorists are still active and they are still plotting to take innocent life," Mr. Bush told law-enforcement officers in Baltimore. "So my message to the Congress is clear: This is no time to let our guard down, and no time to roll back good laws."
It was the first time the president cited the July 7 London attacks, which killed at least 56 persons in the British capital's subway and bus systems, to bolster support for renewal of the Patriot Act. The U.S. House is scheduled to vote on the measure this week.
"The Patriot Act is expected to expire, but the terrorist threats will not expire," he said. "I expect, and the American people expect, the United States Congress and the United States Senate to renew the Patriot Act."
The London attacks also have prompted a re-evaluation of mass-transit security by Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff.

1. "As we ALSO saw in London...."

"terrorists are NOT all in Iraq now" :eyes:

[bloom]

2. people are also trying to get security ramped up in the EU... eom

[stocksthatgoup]

3. We May Never Know

Skull & Bones, The Trilateral Commission and New World Order groups know how to keep secrets.

10. In all my readings,

you can probably add Opus Dei to that mix too.

[ladjf]

15. Most definitely. Check out Scalia's relationship to Opus Die.

[HockeyMom]

17. Bob Novack too

Found that one out in my search. What does that tell you?

[ladjf]

18. Also that FBI agent who got a life sentence for spying was into

Opus Dei all the way. I have forgotten his name.

[HockeyMom]

19. Here's the Google search

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_prominent_members_of_Opus_Dei

I was trying to find info on if Judge Roberts was Opus Dei. Came up with nothing.

20. Oh my God! You've found the mother lode. Thanks. They

are everywhere. I believe that the Catholic Church is the oldest and largest criminal organization on Earth. They've been robbing and murdering people for over a thousand years.

[ladjf]

14. You sir are totally correct and understand what in the Hell is

going on.

22. Hi stocksthatgoup!!

Welcome to DU!! :toast:

[Flying Dream Blues]

4. But wait...I thought we were fighting them over

there so we don't have to fight them over here! So, using that logic, we won't need to worry about anything until the war is over.
Right??

[Disturbed]

8. Amerkia needs to be a

Fascist Police State so the terrorists can be discouraged from carrying out their work.

[underpants]

5. N'ah I get the sense that they are downplaying this

Okay they are using for what they can to
a. sell the Patriot Act
b. divert/tread water for another whole day just to get to August and the news vacuum

The press conference had Scottie leading off with "We feel for the victims......" and so forth but he really didn't try to use it like they did the first London attack. Two attacks so close together (read:whites attacked) doesn't help them sell the "we are doing everything we can in the war on terror" rhetoric.

[doublethink]

6. Gee what timing huh?

Who woulda thunk it? Geesh ... :crazy: Peace.

[genieroze]

7. What's also odd is that the British forces are supposed to leave Iraq

All of a sudden KaBoom. I guess those nasty terrorists want the British in Iraq. Sounds a little to odd to me.

[FreedomAngel82]

12. I thought so too

A few days before the first attack they announced they were going to pull out soon. I hope they still do.

9. Bush sees toe fungus as reason for the Patriot Act

BushCo will spin anything as support for their agenda. That's what Bushes always do. If there were no attacks, Bush would say "See, it's working."

[FreedomAngel82]

11. With this group

I've learned there's no such things as coincidences.

[ladjf]

16. From a physics standpoint, there are no coincidences.

Somehow the laws of politics are crude copies of the laws of physics.

[ladjf]

13. Have you noticed that Bush has fabulous luck with regard to the

timing of terror incidents?

[shance]

21. Funny. I see it as a way for those in power to scare citizens and

use more fear to deflect from the deaths continuing to pile up over in Halliburton, Iraq.
