. . . . what do you think of what you're seeing, hearing, and learning?
I have to admit to being a major cynic and am mostly rolling my eyes and watching our crack security folks with a degree of disdain or disgust at the Keystone Kops feel to it all.
I also find all the talking head "security experts" who are getting a chance to pontificate to be self absorbed geeks with nothing significant to say apart from using a lot buzzwords.
edit to insert the word "been" in the thread title

9. Could be the very opposite . . . . . |
|
. . . . could be the Dems trumpeting this. Fact is, Obama's record on this sort of crap is way better than the repubs. Idiot Son was fer shit at keeping us safe. With Obama, there's been, essentially, nothing apart from that kook Army doctor.
And Dr. Tiller.

14. I doubt it - the right still perceives Republicans as being strongest on defense... |
|
And it's all about manipulation and delusion on that side.

As I said in another post, fear has long been governments' favorite tool for keeping the populace in line.
Only government could have ordered those military jet escorts - not the media nor reich wingers.

And part of a pattern. There are those who do want to kill you, regardless of time of year. You need to find a way to watch furiegne press, serious.
And I'd rather have you thinking keystone cops than a big boom!

20. Yanno, there's no way I can disagree with your hypothesis . . . but . . . |
|
. . . until the facts come out, my own first instinct is to roll my eyes.
Yup, there are bad guys out there and they do, indeed, want to kill us.
Maybe what has me going is the media. These guys are creaming in their jeans over this.

Needless hysteria, the lot of it.

25. The Terrorist just wanted to disrupt things. here. Now that we |
|
know everything is safe, we need to play it cool. Do not give the terrorists the attention they want.
Stay Calm and Steady as you go.
There were explosive materials. We need to get on with our Democracy.
