Get your duct tape now!!!

The terrorists sure love Bush, don't they? The more he invades sovereign nations, the stronger they get. Falluja is a prime example.

Spurious correlation, at best. I would argue that it was 8 years of complacency that allowed them to build the network and launch these very attacks...inaction is proving to have costs more than action back then.

OMG, fallujah is full of insurgents? somehow this proves a point? please. If Saudi Arabia or Iran, or Syria, or any country had liberated Fallujah, then pulled out, do you think it would be any different?

At most there are about 1,000 insurgents in Falluja. Most tied to Al Sadr that never left when he agreed to the cease fire. Wow, that is the end of the world.


The only reason al Queda would attack would be for Spanish style election engineering. It is sad that people cannot see how bad terrorists want Kerry to get elected. This should scare everyone.

No new specific intelligence exists, and Ridge will not announce that he is raising the national color-coded threat level beyond the yellow, or elevated, level.

Wow.


Just...wow.



This is nothing but Rove and Racicot attempting to downplay the good news of Kerry picking Edwards.

Provide us a link indicating that Rove and Racicot are "attempting to downplay the good news of Kerry picking Edwards. No, sorry, inferences aren't allowed. You may begin at any time.

Just more Fear, Uncertainty and Doubt from the current administration to warn the voters what could happen if they vote for the other side.

It is sad that people cannot see how bad the Repugs want Bush to get re-elected (no matter what straws they have to grasp at to do it).

This should scare everyone.

I think most people have already made up their minds about who to vote for and no terrorists action will change it.

I like Bush as a person. Even though I voted for Gore, I wanted to see Bush be successful. Once the election is over, the person who won is my president and I support him.

However I will be voting for Kerry/Edwards mainly because I think we need a fresh start in foreign relations. I want better relations with France/Germany and the rest of Europe because I think the war against terrorism is too important to just go it alone. Bush has been horrible in this regard.

Also, why do people think a terrorist attack will help Bush? Some people think Bush has caused more hatred of the US in the world and therefore made it easier for al-Qaeda to recruit. So a terrorist attack will just make them vote for Kerry/Edwards more. And those who like Bush, will just want to vote for Bush more.

You didn't hear? Kerry admitted he was going to hand over the keys to the country to bin Laden the day he was elected.

BTW, I personally think the threat is real. It kind of bothers me hearing all this conspriracy theories about how it's just to scare us so Bush can stay in power. It's really sad how devisive this country has become. :(

We really do need a fresh start on foreign policy, and Bush and his cowboy antics are getting old. Only a new foreign policy can truly stop some whacko terrorist from blowing himself in the middle of Time Square. You can build the biggest military, have the best defenses, and destroy all the Al-Qaeda links you want but at the end of the day there is no stopping a suicide bomber from going nuts and killing thousands of innocent people. You neocons think you can win this war with guns....

From reading this thread, I can tell that three years after the 9/11 attacks we have once again been lulled into complacency. Complacency is the bastard step-child of a false sense of security. With this flawed government it's either too complacent or too trigger happy.

If I'm a terrorist, I got my eye set square on Athens...the American Olympic team specifically.
