I knew Dim Son was desperate, but who really believes ...

What are the odds that ALL these things could happen within 48 hrs?

He gives a speech scaring everyone on terror

Incident in Penn Station

Incident in Philly

Incident at Washington Monument

They uncover an Al Quada letter about how their movement is falling apart


PULEEZ - The odds are probably as unlikely as B* really winning Florida

1. I sure as hell don't.

i think a lot of people don't anymore. If something big ever did happen, people would die because we'd all just think he was lying again.

2. Weird thing about that AQ letter.

I could swear that it's old, like maybe a year or two old. I'm almost sure I've read that text before.

6. It's from July

right after the British subway bombings.

And of course it was trotted out (just like these so called "threats" were) to try to take other issues out of the news.

Unfortunately, the corporate media is still dancing to the tune....

Sooner or later, you'd think they'd get tired of being made fools of. I spose that'll happen when people simply ignore them and stop watching their garbage.

8. Thanks.

I knew I had seen it before.

3. And don't we all know that Al-Quada is soooooooooo dumb

That they put detailed instructions - with times and places and dates - in a letter.

These are the same folks, of course, that are so dumb they manage to hide a tall guy with kidney disease from the world - for four years.

Oh no, it's real, all right.

That ol' Georgie Bush is one smart fella - he's weedin' out them terrists - just like he said he would.

Ayep, yep, yep.

4. Amazing how these things seem to happen right on cue...

and right when shub starts getting in trouble.

Like that Osama tape released right before the election.

5. This sounds like the story of finding Mohammed Atta's passport

on top of the rubble of the WTC.

[democracy eh]

7. unfortunalty for all of us, a MIHOP or LIHOP is in order

people aren't afraid

the emperor has no clothes

they see through the "alerts" (and the really really sad part is some alerts are real).

alerts have lost their impact (back in the day an alert was sufficient to rebound popular support)

he needs to blame it on Iran or Syria

it needs to be baaaaad to marshal public opinion to support the use of WMD or nuclear options as the conventional armed forces are depleted, demoralized and more expensive than one bomb. eye for an eye. revenge. lowest common denominator.

I am not a tin foil hatter

I am a realist

I am f'ing pissed off

I am afraid. but not of the terra'ists. and yes I do believe Al Qaeda is real. but there are two sides to this beast.



"What's that Mr. Hat? You want me to bomb Afganistan? Saddam?"

9. They thought they were going to be indicted this week! HA! PUNKED!

Now they have to do it all again. LMAO.
