McCain warns Al Qaeda might try and tilt US election
U.S. Commander Warns Of Al Qaeda Plotting; Coincidence, Or GOP Politics Of Fear?

Now that John McCain has virtually cinched the GOP Presidential nomination, almost if it were on cue, the chief of the US Northern Command, Air Force General Gene Renuart has warned that “Al Qaeda terrorists may be plotting more urgently to attack the United States.” The timing of the warning is perfect, allowing McCain to continue with his campaign of fear and harping on the danger of terrorism. If he doesn’t have a viable plan to salvage the economy, secure the southern border, and a host of issues the GOP refuses to address, then only one path is left, and that’s to use the tactics of fear and intimidation. The problem is, General Renuart’s warning doesn’t make sense once you add-up the facts and what we know of Al Qaeda
# “I think it would be imprudent of us to let down our guard,” says Renuart
# “Tangible results” are needed to maintain credibility, recruit more, Renuart says
# U.S. intelligence analysts in July concluded al Qaeda had rebuilt operating capability

WASHINGTON (AP) — Al Qaeda terrorists may be plotting more urgently to attack the United States to maintain their credibility and ability to recruit followers, the U.S. military commander in charge of domestic defense said Thursday.

6. Tilt the U.S. election to what...towards McCain?
Edited on Sat Mar-15-08 10:49 AM by tjwash
All he has is the 20 percenters, and out of those, the far right religio-nuts are bailing on him as fast as they can. A fucking head of cabbage infested with syphilitic garden slugs could beat McCain in the election.

7. They might want to tilt it, but they want to tilt it toward McCain
McCain will react the way the terrorists want the president to react. McCain will bankrupt the nation trying to fight scores of wars, that can't be won.
