These foiled terrorist plots - Is there any proof ?
I don't recall anybody getting arrested, detained, or anything else. Are we supposed to take the whole thing on faith? (like that is going to happen around here!)

6. Proof? You mean...
... Bush has to have proof to believe something's true? Why, that's, that's, uh, un-faith-based intelligence, isn't it? :)

9. Sure there is proof...but if they showed you they'd have to kill you
If you want to live, you will have to accept:

Unknown and unproducable plotters

Disrupted/captured by an unnamable asian government

Had a Specific plan which we cannot talk about

And the information was not given to those who govern LA at the time or any time since.

However, now it's safe for Bush to talk about, provided he tells you nothing about it.

Crazy World

10. CBS snooze did their part to prop up the story
Edited on Thu Feb-09-06 07:30 PM by leftchick
it was sickening and I had to turn. All speculation and from officials in the WH and pentagon. I am convinced. :sarcasm:

14. Like the terrorist plot in Warren Co, OH on election night.
And the county slammed the doors on any observation of their vote counting process.

All of these fake terrorist pronouncements benefit one set of individuals, and one set only.

Odd how no civilians on this flight have mentioned this to anybody. Do we even know the Flight#, Carrier, or Date?

22. Conveniently, it was a foiled plot, accordingly it never took place
No witnesses except for some shadowy foreign spook agents someplace, and the word of jr.

25. There could be hundreds of such episodes, or thousands!
Millions! Enough to make seasons of 24 until the day we die!

There are more foiled terrorist plots than there are stars in the sky.

24. Think about it, if this were real, bushcoInc / Rove would not have
had to resort to the Swiftboating of Kerry, among other tactics they resorted too, they would simply have told us how they thwarted *terra* attacks and that would have been enough. It's only when they were caught spying on us and their lap dog media turned on them, that they felt the need to drum up bushit thwarted phony attacks to try to validate their breaking the law of the land. How stupid do they think we are anyway? :rofl:

27. I'm wondering what color we were at the time
Edited on Fri Feb-10-06 05:06 AM by iwillalwayswonderwhy
Were we orange? Were there unspecified "threats and chatter" being announced by Homeland Security? Where were cars parking at the airport at this time? Can any of these things be corroborated with this tale of terror?

It's amazing to me that we are at a time where we do not believe this prez at all. His word means absolutely zilch. His claim of keeping us safe kind of falls apart when you consider that without healthcare, without the ability to heat our homes from the cold, without the ability to put food on our tables or find good childcare for our kids while we work at jobs that don't pay for our necessities, that we are not safe and our most basic needs aren't being met. When someone dies because their health plan refuses life-saving treatment, we are not safe.
