Well Lo and Behold!!! As soon as his poll numbers drop......
along comes another terrorist threat to the United States. How convenient is that? Does anyone see a pattern here? The last terrorist threat was just before the election. Check it out here:

2. Adam Gadahn tapes have been extremely consistent in the past
Every time you see one it comes at a time when poll numbers are dropping and the threats are bullshit that never amount to anything.

15. He's the same dude who issued a threat right before the election
Friday October 29th, to be exact.

Read all about it here:

He's never issued a credible threat.

5. Doesn't Chertoff Get To Scare The Shit Out Of Us?
First, he can remind us that September is Disaster Preparedness Month (and it's the disaster he's promised)

Next, he'll assure us that FEMA is ready in the event that Los Angeles turns toxic...cause Mike Brown is on the job.

Then he'll remind you that duct tape is on sale this week at Home Depot.

Oh, and don't fear...well, fear!

14. I think Chertoff should be cast in the role of the lead evil vampire
in Stephen King's Salem's Lot.

19. LOL! I thought that this role would be suited only for Cheney, until I
saw and heard Chertoff. His eyes are completely without soul. That entire crew is replete with sociopaths.

6. I just mentioned this in an email to my RW dad
An exerpt -

"I have no doubt that there will be much blame heaped on the state governments and they will have a difficult time refuting any of it because the Bush white house has a well-oiled attack machine at the ready for any eventuality. Some of their attacks will be true, some will be exaggerations, some will omit crucial facts (like saying that Bush "pled" with Blanco when he was trying to strong-arm her to give up control) and some will be out and out lies. Enough will stick so that people will be unsure and confused and eventually it will die down (no doubt helped along by some nicely timed elevations of the terror alert level). I think it's disgraceful that this administration works that way, that they think nothing of deluding the public and abrogating all responsibility for anything even while they sanctimoniously lecture us on a "responsibility society".

7. They are so transparent
Do you think anyone will fall for this bullshit? Now the local newscast is saying rescuers in NO are pausing to remember 9/11. What bullshit. Katrina recovery needs to be priority no. 1. I have given almost no thought to 9/11 today. Frankly I am sick of all the maudling bullshit associated with it. Talk of it is just an attempt to prop up the CHimp's sagging ratings and make him seem like a hero. BUt it won't work.

20. Yep
Sure, you should remember just like you should Pearl Harbor but it's been four years. I really hope and pray we win back the House and Senate so we can end this false terror crap and we can prove all they've done!

We're gonna kill LA... *yawn*

And that video tape looks amazing like a lily WHITE guy not a scary arab terrorist... I'm sure that studios in the white house basement somewhere.

9. Yea, but it doesn't appear that anyone is paying any attention this
time. I posted on another thread that something just didn't seem right with the video of that masked man. ;o)

Karl needs to come up with another plan. Since they did away with the old Tom Ridge color warnings, this terrorist threat stuff just ain't makin' it!

12. Of course
And last year whenever Kerry was doing well in the polls they issued out threats. Ridge admitted earlier this year some of the threats they made him do. Of course he went along with it.

18. There is only one thing that seriously concerns me...
and that is this: They know how many times they have tried to frighten the people. and know tha they have, by and large, succeeded. They are on their heels right now, and, I am concerned that they may actually stage something to renew the national angst. If you think that's tinfoil, fine. I don't trust these guys at all.

24. who else thinks they will manufacture another attack so that bush
can appear presidential and thus be featured on the chris matthews (et al) showcase

they have to do something to prove that bush really can handle an attack on the country
notice his poll numbers on terrorism - i think they were under 50% approval and thats way down from what they have been
