So George Hung Joe Out To Sink Or Swim

[elfin]

so that HE could make political hay later. If the fear card could have been played for Joe's success --- it was not played for his benefit before the primary according to Larry Johnson---


"Let's at least give George W. Bush credit for being consistent. Prior to 9-11 he was warned on multiple occasions that Al Qaeda was ready to strike inside the United States. His response--do nothing. Now we are informed that Bush knew about the terrorist threat of liquid explosives since at least last Friday, 4 August 2006. According to Yahoo News:

Snow said Bush first learned in detail about the plot on Friday, and received two detailed briefings on it on Saturday and Sunday, as well as had two conversations about it with British Prime Minister Tony Blair.


What did George do? NOTHING. No effort, whatsoever, to raise the terrorist threat level. No effort to boost aviation security procedures. I traveled on British Air from Tanzania to London on Tuesday, August 8th. I traveled from London to Brussels on British Air on Tuesday, August 8th. I carried bottles of liquid on both flights. Blair and Bush knew about this since last Friday and did nothing? That's right.

Bush, like a 12 year old boy on summer vacation, waited and rode his bike around his Texas ranch. No effort to task TSA to come up with tools to detect liquid explosives. No new inspection procedures. Just enjoy his vacation. That, boys and girls, is how the first 9-11 happened. And Gorgeous George wants credit for keeping us safe at home? Not this time. Never again!"

Wonder how Joe feels about this.

1. My guess is that Joe is...

blinded by the attention Rove gave him and will go on thinking he's KKKarl & George's new best friend. He's that dilusional.

BTW, since you've traveled overseas recently, perhaps you can answer this...Is it only on flights between the US & UK that all these stupid carry-on restrictions are in place? Are these "contraband" restrictions in place for flights within Europe now?

2. I wasn't the one traveling -

it was larry Johnson (ex CIA) from whose blog I quoted.
