This "prediction" of Chertoff really bothers me

[CatWoman]

:tinfoilhat:

1. Is this the setup for a 911 style surprise?

If it is then they should all hang for it.

[CatWoman]

2. that's my thinking

:(

[MUAD_DIB]

9. Just think of it: 2 911s happening on Bush's watch.

I think that giant sucking sound that you'll hear is smirks anus puckering as the crowd comes to cart him off the dungeon.

29. If you want a little more support for your "tinfoil" look at this quote

from Ex-senator Santorum....article written July 7,2007. Please don't flame me if you don't like this site as they are directly quoting Santorum....I haven't googled to see if I can find it elsewhere.

"Between now and November, a lot of things are going to happen, and I believe that by this time next year, the American public’s going to have a very different view of this war, and it will be because, I think, of some unfortunate events, that like we’re seeing unfold in the UK. But I think the American public’s going to have a very different view," said the former senator from Pennsylvania.

Is Santorum expressing foreknowledge of some coming atrocity or is he merely using a tactic familiar to the leadership of his party - exploiting the fear of terror for the purposes of political rhetoric?"

36. Jesus

why don't they just take out a full page ad?

[Virginia Dare]

40. Santorum is and always has been full of shit..

so I would say the latter.

[snappyturtle]

47. I tend to agree with you but with this group who knows?

This is calling "wolf"....what if we had a REAL threat? Who would ever believe? Unfortunately, we're all well aware of how "they" handled the famous PDB in August of 2001. I also think these little warnings to the public-at-large gives them a sense of importance. Idiots.

[coco77]

3. That is what I was thinking..

they are desperate.

[Eurobabe]

31. Yep, me too. Somethings up.

:tinfoilhat:

[melody]

4. It's just more terror from the terror-loving Bush administration n/t

6. hey! he has a gut feeling! isn't that good enough for you?

:sarcasm:

keith olbermann had a gut feeling last night--a gut feeling that chertoff was full of shit

[CountAllVotes]

11. Olberman said ...

that that Chertoff's feeling had about this was him just breaking gas *fart alert!* terra! ... :rofl:

[jgraz]

7. Don't you think they already have a plan in the pipeline?

If Congress actually starts impeachment proceedings, I expect some things are gonna go BOOM.

[MUAD_DIB]

If things start going boom it will be "Game Over" for *.

Game Over, man, Game Over!

[jgraz]

14. Two words: NSPD 51

Well, that's really one acronym and a number, but you get my meaning...

[bdamomma]

17. I think so too, we have enough dead americans.

[CatWoman]

16. exactly!!

[Orsino]

8. Will * actually respond to Chertoff's gut feeling?

Will that carry more or less weight than "Bin Laden Determined to Strike in the US"?

[soleft]

10. This is how bad it's gotten for me

Last night on the subway I saw a man wearing a winter coat. It was 95 degrees in NYC yesterday.

As opposed to thinking he was a terrorist concealing a bomb around his waist, my brain churned out thoughts that he was working for those behind LIHOP/MIHOP, just a guy, on a subway, wearing a coat in 95 degree weather to add that extra special little element of fear in the minds of subway riders.

[Virginia Dare]

12. Not me, it's just lies and propaganda...

keep the masses scared, that's the only trick they have in their bag. They'd need serious help to carry out, or allow, some sort of attack, and pretty much everybody hates them at this point, including our own CIA.

Of course anybody can be bought for a price...but personally, I'm through being scared or intimidated by these assholes. Come what may.

[bdamomma]

13. that's exactly what kind of response they want from us.

do not give them the satisfaction of instilling fear into you.

[CatWoman]

19. there's fear

and then there's the Bush administration.

[terisan]

15. Chertoff is saying "I can't do my job." His job is preventing attacks, not listening to his gut. nt

[bdamomma]

22. now how much more BS can we take, we have stupid *

who goes on that "gut feeling" and Chertoff he has a "gut feeling" I guess intelligence or for that matter intelligence reports mean nothing anymore. What a bunch of freaking losers.

[Raven]

18. This is a classic CYA move. Chertoff doesn't know what he's

doing, his department is in shambles and he is scared to death. He figures that after an attack he can say he warned us. This is a desperate move by a desperate man who may actually be worried about the wellbeing of the country, unlike his bosses.

[Virginia Dare]

41. Not to forget that this administration is willfully ignoring..

some of the biggest security breaches that exist in this country, particularly our ports, where millions of pounds of items come here everyday virtually unchecked. Meanwhile little old ladies have to remove their shoes and toddlers have to pour out their sippy cups in airports..:eyes: :crazy:

[hyphenate]

20. Well

I think they just wanted to make it seem like someone other than Bush, Cheney or Rove said it. Still doesn't mean shit, but they have another person chiming in on it. Don't worry. We're safe as long as the Republicans are in charge. :eyes: :sarcasm:

[BuyingThyme]

21. Are they holding emergency hearings today in Congress to get to the bottom of this?

If not, why the hell not?

[Strawman]

23. Same here

I don't really believe that, but that was my first thought.

[bdamomma]

24. not getting away from the subject, but where has Cheney been?

in a crypt somewhere.

[Control-Z]

25. And don't forget fuckface's new directive (eom)

[GreenPartyVoter]

28. Which one is that?

[Control-Z]

34. 'New legislation signed on May 9, 2007,

declares that in the event of a "catastrophic event", the President can take total control over the government and the country, bypassing all other levels of government at the state, federal, local, territorial and tribal levels, and thus ensuring total unprecedented dictatorial power.'

[GreenPartyVoter]

43. Oh, yes, that one

[triguy46]

26. This is pure 'cover your ass' and he does similar things periodically...

so that if something happens, he can be on the record as being 'right.'

[Terri S]

27. any time they pull this tactic

my ears perk up. It's part of the whole 'Al Queda' line and the politics of fear they've always pushed. Whether it's just to take everyone's mind off the bad polls or bad press, or if they are plotting something more ambitious I don't know. But nothing is off the table with them, so I pay CLOSE attention when the 'they're coming to getcha' rhetoric heats up.

[GeorgeGist]

30. San Francisco ...

here I come?
:freak:
:nuke:

[AndyA]

32. The only reason why I think they will do anything to prevent another attack

is that they keep telling us we are safer with Republicans in office.

We've already had the worst ever attack on American soil under their "leadership" :eyes:. Yet another one would be proof positive that we are indeed NOT safer with them in charge, and have in fact been hit TWICE under the GOP.

Americans would then be able to put two and two together, and figure out that if Bush had spent the money HERE instead of IRAQ, secured our borders, added police to the streets, and done the things recommended by the 9/11 Commission, we'd likely not have had a second attack.

I think another major attack would be the worst case scenario for the GOP, and for that reason I think they fear it more than we do.

It would also prove Bush's theory of "fighting them over there so we don't have to over here" is BULL.

[Suziq]

38. I Agree with you 100%

:thumbsup:

[Virginia Dare]

42. Probably time to break up another fake terrorist ring...n/t

[Nikki Stone1]

33. Yeah. He has a "gut feeling" (No proof at all, mind you.)

Hey Chertoff,

I have a gut feeling that you're gonna choke on a walnut. Stay away from tollhouse cookies.

[annabanana]

35. Well. . At least we'll know who's entrails to examine if anything happens.

(Can skeletons be eviscerated?)

[Control-Z]

37. If there is one thing

I know to be true, it is that desperate people do desperate things.

[tiptoe]

39. A "gut feeling"? Intelligence seems to have been better pre-9/11 than afterwards. nt

[Parche]

44. Chertoff Terra terra

You dont find Skeletor a mew sing???




OH MEOW

[spanone]

45. Why would someone in his position say such a fucking stupid thing if they didn't know more????

Why put fear in the hearts of people? Well, I guess we all know why. bu$hco.....

[blues90]

46. It bothers me too -

we don't know what he means exactly or why now all of a sudden he comes out with a statement like that . It could mean a number of things and we are left with guessing or possibly more fear tactics .

What strikes me is here we have Lieberman elected as a independant by repubs , Lieberman is a part of bush and now Lieberman is talking about action against Iran , it's like connect the dots time . And then Chertoff comes out with this gut feeling about a possible terrorist attack . This all happened in a short period of time .

These freaks always seem to plan far ahead of time . This is my concern .
