So Bushie is in trouble again. Between his support for the immigration bill and general failures his approval rating is actually below the lowest its ever been since they started taking approval polls.
Time for some guys from Guyana to be arrested for "planning" a terror attack. Amazing how we never actually find any terrorists who actually have taken any actual action, even buying a gun. Its all "planning".
And suddenly every single encounter in Iraq is with Al-Qaeda and not "insurgents". Who decides if its Al-Qaeda or "insurgents? Why its the commander in chief, Bush.
Well here we go again.

This seems to be a common refrain that you have started with others before.

Since, this is nothing new and you added nothing, nothing will be allowed.

For a President.
So pick up the pieces, use some duct tape, and get our head together.

As Sinsear lightly dismisses any possibility of false alarm with--Nice troll; I'm sure GW makes all of these decisions.

But it ignores at least three points. (1) There is a long history of these plots surfacing at politically opportune times. (2) Al-Quida has been taking an international drubbing lately---in Iraq, in backing Fatah, and in Somalia. And may now decide to change strategy and start conducting operations within the USA. I think its absurd to think that they are powerless in that department and I for one believe that they have opted not to since 911 for reasons of their own. (3) If there is anything to the uncovered plot, its shows Al-Quida thinking is focusing on domestic soft infrastructure targets home land security has done nothing to harden with its all offense and no defense strategy. And even if the loss of life may not be large, even a few AL-Quida operatives could really create disruption and really make the USA howl. Initially such attacks might drive us into the GWB camp, but repeated attacks could show how hollow
and foolish it is to rely on GWB international power trips. Most organizations change strategy when their game plan is not working. Why should Al-Quida be any different?---or as stupid as GWB&co?

But its not going to be a totally wasted troll thread if we start asking why Al-Quida has not made a genuine effort to attack within the USA since 911? And is it because homeland security
has their stuff together or because AL-Quida has not made the effort?

Is everybody's memory so short that we've forgotten Christmas-time orange alerts?

This administration grandstands the threat of terror beyond the realm of credibility.

Is there any other card that Republicans can play at this point other than Terrer?
 
Well, since Bush can no longer use 'I am a uniter'... or 'I will bring back integrity to the Presidency'... he's fallen to the only thing he has left, terror. It was very effective during the 2nd election, but it looks like the American people are no longer falling for it. Karl Rove has to come up with a new strategy.
 
Techs, when one of these groups succeeds and pulls off some attack are you going to accuse Bush of using it to improve his ratings?

And for the record the 9-11 guys never bought a gun and it was all ?planning? until they got on the planes.
Get over yourself already. Has any of these previous groups being busted resulted in Bush?s approval going up?

For the record the 9-11 terrorists spent years actually working on the attack, from setting up aliases, establishing U.S. residence, attending flight school, etc.

And if, God forbid, there is another attack it would actually prove the points I have been making in this forum for years. That is that Bush has done NOTHING about border security, food security, chemical plant security, etc and that 99 percent of what he should have done he hasn't. He's more concerned with what political points he can make over terrorism, such as terror alerts/arrests that seem to be far more than coincidentally timed for political reasons. And I certainly wonder if we are just so AMAZINGLY good at stopping terrorists when a couple of guys talk about an attack (and what the heck, there are probably loads of people we have pissed off who brag about what they are going to do to us) or if these "potential" attacks are nothing but some people mouthing off. I guess it's just the frequency of these arrests for people "planning" attacks but not actually doing ANYTHING to actually carry them out that worries me.

Bush speak "Terr'r!"? Hay! They could all get together and sing the Monty Python :music:Lumberjack song:music:, just replace "lumberjack" with "President".
 
Fear works. When people are afraid that the wolf is at the door, they want daddy to protect them. It's not a rational process; it's a deep down unconscious reaction. As long as people are afraid, that is the *only* issue; doesn't matter if daddy smells rotten.
 
In fairness to Bush (and trust me, I can taste the bile in my throat when I say that), can you name a point at which you would not label it political opportunism for them to capture/stop terrorists/a terror plot?

This doesn't mean it's not opportunism, I mean hell... they tried to pump up those retards from Miami as being terrorists. I just feel like you guys might want to watch out for becoming the boys who cried wolf.

Whatever happened to those "Home-grown" terrorist and the liquid bombers? The media blew their load over both cases for a couple of days until people started asking too many questions, then you never heard about it again, except for those annoying as hell "311" announcements they make every two minutes at the airports.

Re: Domestic Terrorism

From now on wait until the bad guys kill people before you arrest them. Stop catching them before they blow sh|t up. It just makes you look like an opportunist.

Kthxbye.

 
so i guess everything that the rove propaganda machine has ever puked up in the way of terr'sts and the timing of terr'st alerts are all true.:roll:

Absolutely; wheres the link showing that GW said pick these guys up to help the ratings or "stop the bleeding"? And where is the link saying that GW also said we are going to call insurgents AQ? There isn't one of course. It's tinfoil conjecture trolling by Techs.
