NEW terror WARNING!!!! Booga booga booga!

[Bluebear]

I thought Cheney said this would only happen if KERRY were elected! What gives???? DUCT TAPE! Where's my duct tape!!!

======
WASHINGTON - Al-Qaida and associated groups top the list of threats to the United States, leading government intelligence officials told Congress on Wednesday in a grim assessment that also highlighted Iran's emergence as a major threat to American interests in the Middle East.

Despite gains made against al-Qaida and other affiliates, CIA Director Porter Goss, in an unusually blunt statement before the mostly secretive Senate Intelligence Committee, said the terror group is intent on finding ways to circumvent U.S. security enhancements to attack the homeland.

"It may be only a matter of time before al-Qaida or other groups attempt to use chemical, biological, radiological or nuclear weapons. We must focus on that," Goss said....

Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld also sent out a warning, telling the House Armed Services Committee he believes terrorists are regrouping for another strike.

1. What? Cheney lied?

I feel so betrayed... Dick how could you do this to me?! :cry:

[Bluebear]

4. Oh maybe this is "historical" information. DOCTOR Rice, help us out!

nt

[Snotcicles]

20. An encore of the booga booga sheeple choir n/t

[paineinthearse]

29. You took the words right out of my mouth!

jinx

[ComerPerro]

2. These attacks will happen if we do not act now

and pass Bush's Social Security "reform".

Boo!

[Bluebear]

7. And pay no attention to Jeff Gannon & Valerie Plame....

Plame is so, so last year.

[No Exit]

3. Aha! Cheney knows something!

Cheney knows... that Kerry really WAS elected!

How many more times are the idiots going to fall for this "terror warning" crap??????

[Walt Starr]

5. Be afraid. Be VERY afraid, because

the Bush administration wants the collected American populace distracted by a tarra lert!

[LiberalinNC]

6. I think they use the excuse of terror alert whenever they want to

change our attention and/or focus, like get the media off social security and throw Terror alert out to scare us all shitless.

[Al-CIAda]

34. The re-set button of fear. -eom

[Rican1]

8. Oh my! The only we can protect ourselves is by

reforming social security and making those tax cuts permanent. Oh yeah- and attack Iran.

[Bluebear]

Welcome to DU ! You got it...and Syria too!

[Behind the Aegis]

9. Didn't you see this coming?

With the shit happening in the news (read: online), I knew it was only a matter of time before new terror threats popped up. It also makes me wonder...is this (the terror threat) a preemptive strike of some sort? Is something else coming down the pike that needs to be on the back burner of the news eyes?

[FreedomAngel82]

12. They were very silent

for a good while. Nothing said about Guckert and all that from the Bush camp and I hadn't heard any news from any of them lately. So this is what they were up to.

[Bluebear]

13. Planning to scare the life out of people is hard work! nt

[Behind the Aegis]

15. the one-two punch

I saw, this morning, on my homepage, two different stories about two different top officials warning of "new terror attacks." My first thought, could this be to throw off this whole fake reporter deal? Then, the tinfoil set in, and I thought...perhaps something is in the works...they are setting us up. I really wonder if the terror attacks are to detract from the Syria issue, as we have already started pulling out our representatives. We all thought Iran was next, perhaps we were wrong?

[FreedomAngel82]

10. Here we go again

More of the chemical weapons stuff. How can we ever believe them? And yes he lied. What do you expect? He even lied about meeting Edwards. :eyes: Remember that? lol.

[Bluebear]

16. Do you want Syria to nuke Kansas City?

Is that what you want, the first warning to be a mushroom cloud?

:crazy:

[brainshrub]

11. What's the difference between radiological and nuclear weapons?

Isn't a nuke a form of radiological weapon and vice-versa?

I'm curious: Does the US currently use chemical, biological, radiological or nuclear weapons?

Is Depleted Uranium considered a radiological weapon?

[johnaries]

14. A radiological weapon would be like a "dirty" bomb, very small

explosive force but used to spread radioactive particles. Actually, fusion reactions do not create radiation. The only radioactivity from a fusion (hydrogen) bomb comes from the smaller fission bomb that is used as a trigger.

[Sirveri]

33. DU is not considered a radiological weapon.

The only reason it's dangerous is not because it's radioactive, but because it's a heavy metal. Our bodies do not like to ingest heavy metals, it tends to do bad things to them. Think mercury poisoning.

[spanone]

17. Of course terrorists are regrouping.....The whole world is regrouping

against us. We are the enemy. Same song, different key.

[fooj]

18. Blah, Blah, Blah...They are starting to "rev up" the old game plan!

It's pretty bad when you can practically predict their next move! They are the slimiest bastards...

[OneBlueSky]

19. not only that, but . . .

GrovelBot is back! . . . booga, booga, booga . . .

what's this world coming to? . . .

[DearAbby]

21. A new Twist to Wagging the Dog? Distract the Public of Gannongate with

A terror alert...Code Pink boa Aaaaaooooga aaaaoooooga ding ding


:nuke:

[smoogatz]

22. It's the approval ratings again

Every time Bush's approvals slip below 50%, there's a terror alert. Predictable as dawn.

[Hugin]

23. Eeeeeek!

I'm still not concerned about OBL.

Nope, not one bit... No 'fraid.

[mzmolly]

24. So apparently Bush is not protecting us from terror?

:eyes:

[Neecy]

25. oh, my! Hold me, someone!

I'm soooooooooo frightened.

Did anyone watch this frightfest? Was the name 'Bin Laden' mentioned even once? You know, the guy we were determined to get 'dead or alive', who masterminded the murder of thousands of American citizens, public enemy #1 until Saddam rolled around?

I didn't think so.

[Bluebear]

31. Here's a nice hug for you dear

[youthere]

46. OMG

What the HELL is that in the red dress?

[MADem]

26. Plastic sheeting, plastic SHEETING!

What good's the duct tape without the plastic sheeting????

Oh, no, run, hide....they're gonna get us...be very afraid, be very, very AFRAID!!!!

What a load of shit. Why come over here, when we have 150K sitting ducks right next door for them to pick off, whenever they have a mind???

Pay no attention to the fake reporter with the penis on the internet! Look away, and be very afraid!!!!

[AnneD]

27. UhOh......

First the warning, then an 'attack' (wither they generate it or allow it to 'happen' by ignoring warnings). An instant jump in the polls for W as sheeple rally 'round the flag. He passes the rest of his lame ass agenda while the grateful sheeple salute him. Congress strikes down the 2 term limit 'cause we are in a war and W becomes dick-tater for life (hey he has the wardrobe)......

[durablend]

42. DING DING DING DING!

WE HAVE A WINNER!!!!

No better way to justify an attack on Iran and/or Syria than a LIHOP to rally the sheeple around the shrub.

[KitchenWitch]

28. Yup, we have been Cheneyed again!

When the fuck are the freepers and neocons going to wake up. * is making the threats of terrorism worse, not better. Our country was more secure before * took a hold of the reigns.

[Swamp Rat]

30. BOO!!!... AHHHHHHHHH!

:scared:

[adigal]

35. I'm a-skeered!!

And I hope Poppa Bush and grandpa Cheney can take care of us as well as they did when they got 52 warnings on 9/11 - oops!!! I forgot!!! They did not take care of us!!!

[ultraist]

36. A populace in fear is much easier to control

The KKK uses this type of fear tactic, other terrorist groups use fear tactics, and our gov't uses fear tactics. OPPRESS & SUBDUE THEM WITH FEAR. It's an abusive tactic.

Anyone remember that part in 9-11 that discussed this phenomenom?

Better step back in your place people and do what the master says, Big daddy Bush is control. If you step out of line, the country may be nuked. Head down, tail between your legs, NOW!

AND DON'T YOU DARE TALK BACK or you will PAY. NO DiSSENT ALLOWED.

[Bluebear]

37. Thank GOD Larry King has the cast of Will and Grace on tonight!

Seeing that everything is so dire, this was determined to be the most important story of the day!

[Solly Mack]

38. Yeah? Then I feel it's my duty to cover the WH in plastic and duct tape

seems like the patriotic thing to do...

[Us vs Them]

39. BRING IT ON MOTHER FUCKERS!

A terrorist attack at this point would be the first step in a United States Civil War.

Half the country would be fuming at the administration and the loyalists would have even more justification for the apparent lockdown they've been blaming 9.11 for.

Fun. Hope all yer debts are paid off.

[charles_nys]

40. Let me see if I get this straight....

Al-Qaida and Bin Laden who is watching the US go down the economic tubes, watching (and probably laughing) at bushco not able to get a single drop of oil out of Iraq, and watching bushco bankrupt the US has decided maybe we should hit them again for the hell of it?

yeah right!

I think they are having more fun watching bush run the country in to the ground himself.

my question would be, what US city (and you can bet it will be a blue city too) is bush and cheney going to hit next so they can blame it on Iran/Syria?




God help us from this evil administration!

[Ilsa]

41. Something BIG must be getting ready to break, and it isn't a

terra attack.

Maybe we should pass out the valium every time they issue one of these.

Hey, what did Dr. McCoy shoot up everyone on the ship with when they had that episode of Jack the Ripper and they thought Scottie was murdering women? Yeah, we need some of that!

[Greylyn58]

43. Nothing but a smoke screen

to take the focus away from what's happening with the Gannon/Guckert and Valerie Plame stories.

Can't have the media looking too closely at what is going on behind door number #1. Then the truth might start to leak out. Can't have that! So let's call up the ever popular Terror Alerts again.

Gee isn't it interesting that they haven't made an appearance since before the elections.

Things that make you say Hmmmm!?

[mcscajun]

44. "It may be only a matter of time before…

…the Earth is struck by a giant meteor
…the big earthquake causes California to break off and crash into the ocean.
…the supertsunami strikes the entire Eastern Seaboard
…the Second Avenue Subway is finally opened in NYC
…Chicken Little is proved right.


"It May Be…"

Give me a fuckin' break, already! Talk about shuckin' and jivin'.

[TalkingDog]

45. "Bloggers at the gate, Sire." n/t

[regnaD kciN]

47. It can't be THAT serious...the color hasn't changed!

;-)

[tavalon]

48. So, while I thought this Gannon/Guckert thing to be amusing

I really didn't think it was that big a thing, but when all of this booga, booga started up again, I realized that it must really be big. I annoy all of my LJ friends by updating them on the insanity perpetrated by this admininistration, but being as I only have so much political currency, I only use it up on the really, really important stuff. So, I went ahead and updated them. Of course, they all watch the Daily Show so I could have saved myself the trouble.
