ABC News Radio is reporting that the latest terrorist scare
is based on testimony from a "known liar."

Cindy's got 'em on the run.

1. WOW, that's an amazing quote
Edited on Fri Aug-12-05 06:06 AM by BlueEyedSon
(on a humorous note: does that mean the threat came from Bush, Cheney or the current head of homeland security?)

6. According to the blurb,
it came from somebody at Homeland Security. (Seriously.)

2. I figured it was something like that
Cuz if it was for REAL, why would all the "officials" be speaking on condition of anonymity? If it was for real, there is no reason a name couldn't be pinned to the warning.

3. It includes Chicago, Los Angeles and NYC....which city
is NOT included? Washington DC. Wouldn't want to spoil Rummy's pro-bush parade would we?

Please come to DC for the Sept. 24th anti-war demonstration!!

4. Fuckers need a new playbook.
This shit is so predictable. Are the koolaid drinkers so whacked that they can't see a pattern?

9. Yeah or the Don...
Rumsfeld leaks these kind of reports all the time. Any terror attack Cheney is aware of will be done in South Carolina (Unfortunately)

7. It's like the story of the boy who cried wolf.
Or like the nitwit would put it...Fool me once....uh......
It's just more evidence that their agenda puts Americans in danger. They have misused their position to the point that a great many Americans no longer have faith or trust in what comes out of the government.

10. You got that right!
These people scare the crap out of me. I am much more afraid of this mis-administration than I am of the threat of terrorists. Their actions do absolutely nothing to resolve problems. They consistently make existing problems worse, or create new ones.

And you may ask yourself
Where is that beautiful house?
And you may ask yourself
Where does that highway go?
And you may ask yourself
Am I right? ...am I wrong?
And you may say to yourself
My god!...what have I done?

Letting the days go by/ let the water hold me down
Letting the days go by/ water flowing underground
Into the blue again/ after the money’s gone
Once in a lifetime/ water flowing underground.

Same as it ever was...same as it ever was...same as it ever was...
Same as it ever was...same as it ever was...same as it ever was...
Same as it ever was...same as it ever was...
