"The FBI's doing a great job following it, but to date, based on what we know in that investigation, there's no connection between that individual that was apprehended at the border to the information in the targeting that I've discussed with you this afternoon."

"I think it's very important to point out, most of those sources are related to the extraordinary offensive effort we've taken overseas."

Howard Dean was right! So were the rest of us! I don't believe in coincidences, but apparently this admin. thinks we all should, huh?

I hope this bites them square in the ass!

3. All of this for a taxpayer funded Bush campaign ad.

"But we must understand that the kind of information available to us today is the result of the President's leadership in the war against terror."

10. Actually ...

Reading through the press conference, nothing he said indicated that the plans were not three years old. In fact, he was careful not to say the plans were current, but made them sound current by using urgent language and saying, <em>"there is no information that indicates a specific time for these attacks beyond the period leading up to our national elections."</em> Not a lie, but absolutely no reason to say it unless meaning to imply the plans were for between now and election day.

What I'm wondering is: did the computer contain information about the World Trade Centers, Pentagon and Capitol as well? That would be interesting information to leave out.

8. We're In Greater Danger Than Ever

Sorry kids, I take these warning seriously, but not because Tummy Ridge say so...just that I sense desperation really grabbing hold inside the evil empire and an attack is what they need...now more than ever. It pains to say that about one's own government actually either wanting or attempting to confuse its own people that makes it possible for a massive catastrohpe to happen.

That 50% poll on CNNservative's website is not a good thing for all of us. That means if there is a serious attack (and this includes Right Wing nuts who I fear far more than some guys who speak Arabic) half the country would ignore it, consider it political and could possibly walk into a dangerous situation.

This regime wants to spread fear, divisiveness and distortions that are now bording on creating a national disaster. I only hope these chicken little warning remain as so...another 9/11 will create total mayhem if it happens before Nov. 2.

9. And for those repukes that continue to defend shrub and his terra

alerts, point out that the idiot refuses to call an emergency session of congress to hold hearings on the recommendations of the 9/11 commission and to hold hearings on the new intel.

He is a fraud. We know that, but we have to provide them with obvious reasons as to why he is a fraud. He sends his wife and daughters to a building that is a terraist target, who would do that but a mad man or a liar (or both). He should have gone himself if he was trying to show he was not afraid, he should have never put his family in harms way!

He is a fraud.
