US Capitol evacuated after alert

"The Capitol building in Washington - which houses the US Congress - has been evacuated after a "possible hazardous substance" was found in its basement."

Was that where they brought and hid the "hole" in which Saddam was hiding?

Saddam is caught and three quarters of the Al Qaeda are destroyed - and the world is a safer place!!

No?...

How long are the Americans going to live in this delusional world of their own making and will the rest of the world to live in that same paranoiac state?

How long will the rest of the world have to tolerate the Saddam copy-cat behaviour by the US Administration and its coalition of bribed forces on innocent Iraqis, Afghanis, and ------, -----, (fill in the blanks) who do not like them or want them in their country?

How else can one describe the behaviour of US forces in the way they treat Iraqis and Afghanis who want to resist their invasion and occupation?

Are these forces only following "orders"?

Is it not evident that martial law is FAST approaching in the US and there is NOTHING, absolutely NOTHING, the US sheeple can or will do about it.

1. There will be a constant drumbeat...

...of evacuations, cancellations, sealings-off, etc. from now until the election.

The only way Bush wins the election is if people are scared out of their wits, but only in a vague, inchohate way. (An actual terrorist attack would probably cost him the election.)

2. I agree with you, except on this:

An actual terrorist attack would probably cost him the election.

I think an actual attack will cost Americans the election. An attack on the order of 9/11 or greater, and it's martial law. As Franks said, the American people will demand it. That's the payoff for the constant drumbeat of fear-fear-fear.

3. Or we'll be TOLD "we" are demanding it

...which will amount to the same thing.

4. fear, time, reinforcement

do you think people will be afraid for such an extended period of time?

there's a principle in behavioral psychology that says people disregard it after a time. They would have to mix in at least one real attack, another LIHOP.

9. Of course they're shutting down the Capitol

They can't afford Congress coming back into session.

2004 is the year of too many unanswered questions - 9/11, cheney energy task force, Plame affair, no WMDs, what to do with Saddam, where's Osama, where's the jobs in this "jobless recovery", where's the beef, the BCCI trial, Diana's inquest, who forged the Niger documents and so many more?

Too many seams are coming apart this year. There's no where left for them to hide.

I'm telling you, the walls are closing in on them and they're gonna pull something desperate.
