White House Authorized Leaks on Brit Raid That Compromise National Security

Five Years After 9/11, Fear Finally Strikes Out

That's the title of Frank Rich's latest editorial in the NYT. He notes that the political payoff of foiled terror plots have reached the point of dimishing returns. Even with the hype level turned up to bombastic levels on the Fox and CNN outlets, Bush seems to have gotten hardly any bounce in his popularity from the latest terror scare.

It seems the American people have finally had enough. The last few purported terrorist plots have turned out to be a lot less than meets the eye. On review, these "grave terrorist threats" dissolved into pathetic affairs involving homeless down-and-out simpletons entrapped by FBI sting operations.

Take June's big terror bust in Miami for example. "FBI arrests 7 Planning to Bomb the Sears Tower" announce the headlines, but if you follow the story you find that the "terrorists" were homeless men living in a warehouse provided by the terrorist recruiter who was also the FBI informant. They had no weapons, no explosives, no actual plans, just a lot of bluster. Global Research

Then there was the big Canadian terror plot foiled in earlier in June. Among their "plans" was one to storm parliament, sword in hand, to behead the Prime Minister. Does this sound like a serious group worthy of international press coverage, or a pathetic band of undermedicated misanthropes?

Now we come to the latest "Big Terror Scare"; the London liquid explosives plot. This one is definitely in a league of it's own in both the level of hype accompanying the announcement as well as the paucity of the evidence against the accused. CNN and Fox went hyperbolic in their coverage, dedicating entire days to terror pundit blather. "America under attack"; "worse than 9/11", "up to ten planes". But when we look at the actual facts of the case this is what we find: No witnesses; no evidence; no explosives; no plane tickets; no passports; no charges and no real prospects that any terror related charges will be forthcoming. In fact; were it not for the recent changes to rules regarding the detention of suspects without charge, those arrested would have been released already due to lack of evidence. In other words; the entire London scare has evaporated, and while the media pretends not to notice the public does seem to be catching on.

In light of the publics new understanding of the misuse of terror for political purposes, many Americans will now be replaying in their minds all the terrorist events of the last few years. And like Keith Olberman has shown very convincingly on his show, Countdown, Americans will find a disturbing pattern. Whenever Republicans need a distraction, or a boost in the polls, like a miracle, a terror alert appears.

Bush and Cheney better hope that Americans don't look back five years to 9/11, because if they do, the public may realize that 9/11 fits the pattern as well.

George W. Bush and the Republican way of cover-ups, lies, and more! Bush will get what he wants no matter what. Bully. Break the law. Lie. Then come up with reasons why he is right. Well guess what? Bush is wrong! You do not spy on Americans without legal permission. That is KGB like. The courts are starting to agree. You do not go to war with another country without proof of the need for war. Iraq was no threat to the United States. Yes, Saddam Hussein was evil and had a lot of people killed, but how many Iraqi citizens have been killed since this war started? How many of our brave service men and women have been killed in Iraq? How many more will die? Iraq right now, is in the worst mess it has ever been in. This was not the case before Bush started this war. Hey Bush: This war is against terrorists, not with countries. WMD? Not there! Did you know that George W. Bush once made fun of the issue of Weapons of Mass Destruction? He did, and in front of some shocked people during a black-tie event in 2004. He said.... (While looking under a piece of furniture) "Those weapons of mass destruction have got to be here somewhere." Then, while pretending to look out of a window, Bush laughed as he said..... "Nope, no weapons over there." While he was laughing, there were men and women fighting and dying in Iraq because of WMD. George W. Bush should be removed from office because of that alone. Face it, Bill Clinton lied about having sex, and was impeached because of it. George W. Bush however, did far worse, as he laughed at the very people who are fighting for the United States of America! Bush laughs at a lot of things. While we were under attack, he just sat there. He has no clue about how to run things. Speaking of running, that is what many Republicans are doing right now. Running from their own corruption. How many are in trouble now? From Nixon/Agnew to Scooter and Cheney, all we get from Republicans are cover-ups, lies, and more. Even President Reagan's defense secretary, Caspar W. Weinberger, who recently passed away, was so bad, that George H. W. Bush had to bail him out with a pardon to help save the Republican name. Face it.... the Republican Party is a disgrace. Time for a change. It is also time for us to take back our country from the Republican mess that YOU are paying for. I am, GEORGE VREELAND HILL * Here are some tidbits of note: Our Republican leaders have failed to catch bin Laden, even though Bush said that his capture was a top priority. When it became evident that bin Laden was not going to be caught any time soon, Bush then said that it did not matter if we capture him. Say what? The fact is that Bush changed his mind to save face. We have left our borders open to let millions of rapists, thieves, loafers, and killers enter our country. These numbers are since 9/11. Much of California's bad economy was blamed on Gray Davis, but the fact is, that illegals broke California. Why was that not stopped? In New Hampshire, during the 2002 election for the U.S. Senate seat being vacated by Robert C. Smith, the New Hampshire GOP hired GOP Marketplace of Virginia, to jam another phone bank being used by the state Democratic Party in an effort to turn out voters on behalf of then-governor Jeanne Shaheen on Election Day. John E. Sununu, the Republican candidate, won a narrow victory. Wikipedia, a free on-line encyclopedia, states that three men have been convicted of, or pled guilty to, federal crimes and sentenced to prison for their involvement as of 2006. A fourth is under indictment. However, investigators and those who have followed the scandal closely believe that there were more people involved at the national level. It has been suggested that some high-ranking Republican Senate leaders were aware, and more recently records showing phone calls from the political operative convicted of engineering the scheme have raised questions as to whether officials in the Bush Administration were involved as well. According to The Raw Story, the fourth man indicted in this phone-jamming scheme, will argue at trial that the Bush Administration and the national Republican Party gave their approval to the plan, so says a motion filed by his attorney. CIA leaks. Bush giving the finger to people. Would FDR have done that? Republicans can't stand the truth. When a topic comes up that exposes them, these cowards will discredit the reporter or change the subject in order to made themselves look good. Their tactics no longer work. The people are on to these Republican cowards who can't fess up. My thoughts on Iran: Iran may be a threat in the future, but it is not a threat now. We have time to think about what to do with Iran. We need to start thinking about the best ways to solve problems in the Middle East, and not create new ones. Because Bush and the Republican Party have no clue how to fix the mess we are in with Iraq, it is best that he and they do nothing with Iran. Wait until the voters pick better leaders, and believe me, that will not be a hard thing to do. * Some extra tidbits: Here are some videos that show the real George W. Bush. Look at how stupid he is: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KKQ098sOpJ8 Drinking Bush: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5n2rIpT2bxA Not wanted at Stanford: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4YDOHpzskeM Here are some funny vids! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BqLvBUSJucg http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wpaLmxrWiyY http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZxtR0s-lrU4

Bin-Laden is on the CIA payroll and a friend of the Bush family--it is no wonder that the government has not been able to find this terrorist who requires dialysis three times a week. So leaking informaqtion is within what Bush calls "the national best interest." The pupose of this ploy is to perpetuate terrorism in order to perpetuate military solutions which perpetuates huge income into the right pockets and industries.

This has come down to a simple question with an elusive answer. Where does the power to arrest the president lie? If the president pulled a gun at a news conference and shot someone DEAD right on national TV who would arrest him? In this case, emperor dubyah the doltish has already confessed in front of the cameras to warrantless eavesdropping, defying the judicial process of obtaining said warrants, proclaiming the US to be outside the geneva conventions thereby making him a war criminal, signing bills into law without congressional approval, and using the supreme court to decide an election when the constitution plainly reads that this is a matter for the house of representitives. Why hasnt a confessed criminal been arrested? lufinn

"Any society that would give up a little liberty to gain a little security will deserve neither and lose both."

If all these threats were bogus, where ARE the real terrorists? What are they waiting for? By all accounts the country is still open to terrorist attack but there have no attacks since 9/11. How can this be? Personally, I have no doubt these terror threats have been played up, but that's also because I think 9/11 was a sham-- a false-flag attack, and the Arab hijackers were patsies. To continue to deny that 9/11 was an inside job is to continue to believe a contradiction: that 9/11 was a bona fide Al Qaeda (alciaduh) attack but that there are no new terror threats.

What can I say? Absolutely nothing Bush says, then does, which is always diametrically opposed, make any sense at all no matter how you look at and dissect it. I have an intelligence analyst background and training so I look at situations from that perspective. Using discredited sources for your intelligence and disregarding your own professionals makes no sense and is the quickest way to guarantee an utter failure and results in the opposite goal of what you want. Bush has said he has a vision -- screw the vision and govern based upon laws and common sense.
