America obviously isn't terrified enough, we need to be re calibrated.

We went into two wars so easily didn't we? To this day people still say that it was the right thing to go into Afghanistan and Iraq after we were attacked, though neither one of those nations attacked us, but we went oh so willingly into two wars, now we are losing our resolve, what happened?

Where did all that jingoism and all those little Chinese American flags go? Where did our resolve for revenge go? Where did all the hyper patriotism go?

What will it take to get us all back on the war wagon?

1. The Fort Dix terra plot was just a test

The regime was just testing us to see if we would nibble on more fear.
If the sheeple responded favorably, then we could expect more like it "foiled terra."
If the response did not satisfy the regime, we can expect escalated foiled threat announcements from the talking heads. Maybe they will save an American city from the terraist or an foiled attack on our food supply. The pet food could have also been a test to see reactions of the sheeple.

3. The fort Dixz Sixz is there to keep the right wing cheerleaders pumped up

Right wing talk radio needs fuel to keep the screaming hysteria up in the red zone. The chant is clear from talk radio:
The bad guys are real
The bad guys are out to kill YOU
The only thing keeping the bad guys at bay is the bush administration (not the Democrats)

The limbaughs of talk radio need fresh story lines to justify giving instructions to the dummies that make up the right wing masses.

2. Maybe Bushler can go recruiting again at some Boy Scout jamborees

4. What will it take?

More than Bush has got.

America (or at least 2/3rd's of it) has become jaded.

The adventure in Iraq has opened too many eyes.

5. Next time, the "perps" won't get "caught" in time to prevent a tragedy, IYKWIM. And WE will be

blamed, for not keeping a sharp enough eye out and reporting enough "suspicious" behaviors.

[Demeter]

6. These Guys Weren't Anywhere NEAR To Tragedy Time

and since the informant was their source of supplies, it never would have happened without government complicity and responsibility MIHOP.

7. What was wrong with the invasion of Afganistan?

The Afghan government WAS supporting Bin Laden. Afghanistan was justifiable, Iraq (of course) was not.
