Bush orders action to head off new Al-Qaeda attacks

4 minutes ago

GRAND RAPIDS, United States (AFP) - President George W. Bush (news - web sites) held urgent talks with top national security aides after Osama bin Laden (news - web sites) threatened the United States in the final hours of the presidential campaign.

"The president did direct them to make sure we were taking all actions that might be necessary," White House spokesman Scott McClellan said after Bush spoke to his homeland security team from Michigan where he campaigned ahead of Tuesday's presidential vote.

(snip)

The national terror alert was not changed after the bin Laden tape.



Wow... "Take all actions that might be necessary." He's such a bold, brave, visionary leader!!

4. Terra, terra!
But don't raise the alert from whatever it is to the next level. How transparent can they get?

9. "Taking all actions that might be necessary"
George Carlin would have a field day with that one. Anyone care to give an example of an action that MIGHT be necessary?

11. Bush can take action by changing his underwear.
It got all wet and dirty when he saw the Osama Bin Laden tape.

12. Does this mean that they might not have
been taking all actions that might have been necessary before the tape? I thought the big old liar said he wakes up every day trying to make the world safer. Just more hot air from the windbags.

KERRY IN A LANDSLIDE!

14. Am I the only one afraid that:
"all actions that might be necessary,"

might be interpreted by repubs as making sure that no one with non-white skin be allowed to vote on the 2nd?

(Maybe not that explicitly, but in some capacity? "Random" terrorist searches at polling places, for example?)

But what about actions that might be UNnecessary?
There's no comment on that, but I'm sure he'll stick with the unnecessary actions just in case they become necessary.
