Terrorists

There haven't been any terrorist attacks on the United States since 9/11. This must be because the Bush/Cheney administration has done such an outstanding job of protecting us. But lest the threat of terrorism fade, and thereby expose the administration from the phonies they are on this subject, consider the last two terrorist threats which were "nipped in the bud," so to speak.

First there were the seven nutcases in Florida who were said to be plotting to blow up the Sears tower. This was regarded as so important that the Attorney General himself went on television to announce it. Turns out, of course, these "terrorists" had no money, no arms, no connection with other terrorists or terrorist organizations, and quite likely no knowledge of the Sears tower. Their plan was helped along by an undercover FBI agent who bought them boots and cameras (as they were too poor to afford such equipmen) and helped them along with their "plans."

Now we have a report that terrorists were going to bomb the subways in New York in order to flood the city. First, this was apparently something discovered back in April. Second, the plan was totally absurd as there is no way they could have flooded the city even if they succeeded in blowing up anything. Now it turns out that the whole thing was nothing more than internet chat. Once again, however, the Bush/Cheney administration has protected us from these vile "terrorists." The head of Homeland Security boasted as to how we stopped terrorists before they can do anything ("we don't wait until they have lit the fuses," or some such comment). Apparently we don't wait until we actually know anything about these "attacks" before announcing our great victories over them.

You don't think, do you, even for a moment, that the administration would try to use such trivial incidents to help keep us afraid - very afraid, and to demonstrate how efficiently they are protecting us from (nonexistent) terrorists? No, this administration has always been straightforward, honest, transparent, and completely without fault about anything.

By the way, if you still haven't figured it out, they are lying big time about conditions in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Enough is enough (in this case way too much). War criminals belong in jail, not the White House.
