NO MORE COLOR-CODED ALERTS, IT’S EVERY FRIDAY NOW |
|
So, is this the way it’s going to be? I predict that beginning last Friday and running up until the November elections, the news agencies will celebrate the thwarting of yet another terrorist plot, or disruption of another terrorist cell each and every Friday. Last week it was hapless, hopeless young fools in Miami who were without a leader (or a plan) until our government supplied one. This week, the reports are of a bone-headed plot to flood lower Manhattan by blowing up a tunnel or two. If all terrorists are this stupid, why is the war costing so damn much? True, bomb throwing does not take genius to accomplish and any person bent on terror can create it on the cheap with or without a grand scheme attached. You don’t even have to be committed to a cause; you just have to want to be “famous” in a world where notoriety is just as good as fame.
For me, the scariest part is that these Friday scores in the war on terra are covering up what is really going on. The news seems to be manipulated so we can count our blessings over the weekend and not worry about what the government is doing in our name; so we don’t dwell on the negative aspects like torture, election fraud, and the abandonment of the hunt for OBL. We are being soothed like babes in a cradle for a reason. Why? :wtf:

1. Yes, I saw this morning's top story from the Bullshit Bulletin... |
|
I suspect this will continue through November. Perhaps someone needs to remind them of the tale of the boy who cried wolf...

2. They should be reminded just by looking over their shoulder |
|
I'm not sensing any panic or even credible belief, although I'm sure it's unnerving for those who have to drive by armed guards at the tunnel entrances.

3. New strategy: a terror plot is uncovered about every 21 days |

4. I'm glad I'm not the only one who sees this pattern |

emerging. Of course, the terrorists ARE trying to attack again. We don't need extra hype but we DO need a plan.
