Bush says terror threat may not be over
http://www.swissinfo.org/eng/international/ticker/detail/Bush_says_terror_threat_may_not_be_over.html?siteSect=143&sid=6968430&cKey=1155399758000

CRAWFORD, Texas (Reuters) - U.S. President George W. Bush cautioned on Saturday the threat from a plot to detonate liquid explosives on commercial flights may not have passed and denied Democratic Party charges he was trying to use the crisis for political gains in an election year.

"We believe that this week's arrests have significantly disrupted the threat," Bush said in his weekly radio address. "Yet we cannot be sure that the threat has been eliminated."

British authorities arrested two dozen suspects on Thursday for allegedly plotting to use liquid explosives to blow up airliners flying from Britain to the United States.

The arrests prompted the United States to raise its terror alert to the highest level ever and prompted airports to ban passengers from taking liquids, gels and creams on planes.

Were those fake too?

13. I don't remember Bill Clinton using Terror Threats to scare the public
everytime his poll numbers went down either..

But thanks for carrying water for the right-wing. They certainly need the help.

5. I predict that between now and the election -
we will be threatened ad nauseum and remain at red alert. One or two attempts may actually be successful, just to make sure we're thoroughly terrified.

11. TERRA! TERRA! TERRA!
Fear keeps people loyal, or so they say, and the Repukes have nothing else to run on in 2006 but fear and terrorism. These pricks have no qualms about exploiting fear to maintain their political advantage and control, and to continue lining their pockets with profits.

Absolutely disgusting. :puke:

You stupid bastard! Self-serving propaganda speechifying to keep the sheeple in line.

Beat on your chest, oh mighty warrior and show the nation how strong we are, and how resolute we must be! Give up your freedom of movement, and do it with a smile! :sarcasm:

There'll be no safety, and no peace, until and unless we attack the root causes of terrorism, something that will never happen while this gang of criminals is in charge. Never.

15. Just shows how little he
has done to protect us for the past 6 years. The dems have to keep harping on how much of a failure he is to let this be happening now.
