Like CLOCKWORK, BushCo screams TERRA when W's nuts are in the fire
CNN is already reporting that "there is no evidence that he was acting with any organization or has any connections with anyone. He was a guy planning on placing an explosive in a mall trash can." In fact, CNN is reporting that there was NOT even an indictment filed, that so far just a "complaint." But that the government wants him tried under the terrorism laws. Of course it does.

But that won't stop them all from touting this thwarted "terra" threat all day, will it? Can't let poor widdle Georgie get too upset, now, can we?

Sheesh. I can't believe they still try this shit! And I can't believe people still buy it.

5. Just some guy in Chicago
Edited on Fri Dec-08-06 12:26 PM by Atman
Was going to place an explosive of some sort in a mall trash can. The MSM has already conflated it into a "Thwarted Holiday Terror Plot," but it appears only CNN has come right out and said "ain't no there there."

MORE: A 22 year old. He was actually arrested days ago, making this stink even more. Why was this not news back then? Why only now after Bush is getting pilloried for his continued fuck ups and ignoring the will of the people?

9. MSNBC is reporting it as an isolated act planned by one guy
who wasn't getting anywhere with it. If Bush is hoping to get some points out of this, they're not helping him. You're right about the timing, but he's gone to that well so many times, he's going to have to pull a freaking whale out of it to make any hay.

14. Because the Foley report comes out at 2 this afternoon
The Congressional investigation committee on the Foley scandal will hold a presser at 2pm--anyone who can, listen in and tell us what they are trying to make sure doesn't get a large audience.....

7. I already posted in one thread, eventually this will come to pass.
Scepticism is okay up to a point. We do need to understand that something will happen one day, and it is thanks to the clowns in the bush** administration.

8. That's the scariest part
As this rat gets backed tighter into the corner, he is going to be more likely to lash out using more desperate means. And one of these times, whether it's a device arranged by Halliburton's "Shadow Government" division, or by some dude who just can't take it anymore, it's going to happen.

What the reaction will be then is anyone's guess.

12. If they waited for a day when there was no bad Bush news...
This story would have run in 2009. Not everything is a conspiracy to protect the dictatortot.
