Just saw on CNN; Bush and thugs taking credit for foiled airline plot
Please excuse the language, BUT WHAT FUCKING BALLS!! He wasn't even briefed by Brits until two weeks before because they feared the White House would leak it. They didn't even wake him up while the arrests were being made!! Imagine the so called leader of the war on terror not having his sleep disturbed during the biggest terror plot since 9/11!! UN-FUCKING-BELIEVABLE, I'm speechless!!

3. you mean they admitted to planning it?
Edited on Tue Aug-15-06 03:48 PM by welshTerrier2
your subject line should probably read: "taking credit for FOILING airline plot" ...

i prefer your wording much more ... it leaves that little edge out there for amusing speculation ...

4. And it has done and will do nothing for them. Anyone with half a brain
Edited on Tue Aug-15-06 04:34 PM by AndyA
knows the U.S. had nothing to do with the capture. It was Britain that deserves all the credit. There is no bounce, no credit given where it isn't due. Attempts like this just make them look desperate. Desperate and sleazy. And that's exactly what they are.

Edit: spelling.

7. Agreed. If we had honest elections and an informed public, we wouldn't
be where we are today, because Bush & Gestapo would have never been elected.

10. OK. Bush is taking credit and CNN is reporting it
Edited on Tue Aug-15-06 10:55 PM by Jack Rabbit
So far, so good.

Now, is CNN allowing its viewers to think that he deserves credit, or are they reporting the facts that it's a lot of baloney and election year hype?

I'm not sure whether that is a rhetorical question or not.
