And it's smart and perceptive as usual, and I'm thinking, what the fuck IS up with Democrats in Congress suddenly falling all over themselves to give Bush EVEN MORE POWER? Is the word out to everyone but the American people that another attack is coming? Are government officials (but not the rest of us) being warned not to fly commercial? Is it time to short airline and insurance stocks? Should we all be stocking up on duct tape and plastic sheeting? Or is it just more Bushco terraterraterra!!! as usual? What do you think, DU? Same shit, different day--or is something really up this time? I've frankly got a slight case of the willies.

1. wow that does creep me out

I certainly woulnd't put it past the Republicans trying desperately to hit the "islamic extremist" jackpot this summer. Bush and his partners and enablers care nothing about the interests of the people. I'm starting to believe that they will do ANYTHING to stay in power, and lash out like a cornered animal. They have very little to lose. Integrity? nah

4. Gee! do you think they would do anything to stay in power..I very

much doubt we will have an election...they are doing everything in their power to have another terrorist attact...if they don't let it happen, they will make it happen..and our weak and so call moderate dems are a part of this...they cave in on everything...

5. Given the documented crimes of this administration, I can't see them leaving office.

If they do, I'm thinking their on a plane to Paraguay within an hour of the Democrat taking office.

But here is a post that I read today that makes me wonder about the propaganda war against the American people-http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=389&topic_id=1497131&mesg_id=1503757

A Pakistani tribal militant group responsible for a series of deadly guerrilla raids inside Iran has been secretly encouraged and advised by American officials since 2005, U.S. and Pakistani intelligence sources tell ABC News.

The group, called Jundullah, is made up of members of the Baluchi tribe and operates out of the Baluchistan province in Pakistan, just across the border from Iran.


...


U.S. officials say the U.S. relationship with Jundullah is arranged so that the U.S. provides no funding to the group, which would require an official presidential order or "finding" as well as congressional oversight.

Jundullah
Jundullah is a purely militant outfit whose objective is to target Pakistan's pro-US rulers and US and British interests in the country. Members receive training in Afghanistan and South Waziristan, and it is now actively recruiting.

The organization produces propaganda literature, including documentary films, and has a studio named Ummat. It does similar work for al-Qaeda's media wing, which is called the al-Sahab Foundation.

These media outlets incite the sentiments of Muslim youths by producing films showing Western - particularly Israeli and US - "atrocities" against Muslim communities. This is the basic tool through which a new generation of jihadis is being raised.
