I think this terrorist threat might have been real.

[readmoreoften]

In the "aspirational not operational" sense.


I also think this might be the first terrorist threat we've had since 9-11 and that's why they're tweaking over it. Goddamn wolf-criers.

1. It most likely was and they cry wolf.

That's what they're good at, taking reality and making it into a lie.

2. There are real terrorists in the world who would do this country harm

It's just that in the grand scheme of things terrorism is way down the list of killers of Americans. More Americans die every year because of lack of health insurance than from terrorism.

3. Yes, this one *was* the real deal. Sooner or later the demons can become

real.

911 wasn't dreamed up out of thin air. It was comprised of elements of fiction and reality and very well staged; the ultimate trifecta.

Considering the mayhem the bush regime is waging around the world, it cannot be a shock to anyone that someday someone would be wild-eyed enough to attempt something like this.

The difference is that 911 was sought after and encouraged and allowed to happen on purpose by the bush regime.

This attack wasn't allowed to play out because real people have brains, hearts and compassion, unlike bush republicans who have sold their very souls.
