Is this the setup for Sunday night? Susan Schmidt?
Look at this WashPost article co-written by Susan (spit) Schmidt, aka stenographer for the Vast Right Wing Conspiracy. Is this the hammer that Bush will use on Sunday night???

Al Queda is Trying to Open Iraq Front

by Susan Schmidt and Peter Finn

BERLIN -- Two years after the attacks on the United States, Osama bin Laden's leadership cadre has been isolated and weakened and is increasingly reliant on the violent actions of local radicals around the world to maintain its profile. But the al Qaeda network is determined to open a new front in Iraq to sustain itself as the vanguard of radical Islamic groups fighting holy war, according to European, American and Arab intelligence sources. ... According to Arab and U.S. officials who have been briefed on American interrogations, almost all of the senior figures in captivity have been cooperating with the United States, which has employed a variety of stress techniques that stop short of direct physical abuse or torture to disorient the prisoners and break their morale.

In some cases, U.S. officials, who are holding these senior al Qaeda figures at a secret location, have created a parallel universe to hasten their cooperation. Some of the captives, for instance, have been given what appear to be copies of Arab and Western newspapers and magazines that are, in fact, written and printed by the CIA. Stories in these phony publications include reports that bin Laden had been killed or that the Saudi government had fallen in a coup d'etat, the Arab officials said.

2. If this is their angle
Then all the responsibility for it lies at the feet of George W. Partialbirthabortion. He created a vaccuum, a clusterf*** that allowed terrorist organizations to flourish. And we should remind everyone we know of this little fact.

3. Maybe ...
the key phrase here is: "... determined to open a new front in Iraq ...", thus proving terrorists were already planning to 'destabilize' the nation, so it was for the best that we invaded.

Oh yes, and the U.N. "OWES US", so they better have unilateral support for us.

4. that "parallel universe" trick might work
it worked against the 70% of Americans who believe Saddam Hussein was involved in Sept. 11, and against the majority of people who believe we found the WMD. Hopefully those al Qaeda leaders are just as stupid.

5. kick
....just as I'd like to kick Susan Schmidt's fat rump. When I wrote her a couple of years ago (before she hid her email address) she wrote back that I was "meanspirited" for calling her a stenographer.
