CNN terrorism expert Peter Bergen just said Bush's orange alert saved us?

[NNN0LHI]

Yup. He is just sure of it. They hate us for our freedoms too. Geebuz. Where does CNN find these nut jobs who spew such crap? I am amazed.

1. told ya

not hard to call that one, though.

[acmavm]

2. Did he say what they saved us from? What a joke. The French have

already debunked the story about possible problems on the flights from Paris, six more soldiers have did in Iraq during the past two days, Musharraf (sp?) was almost toast again and has resigned from running the Pakistani military (oh boy), and this fruitcake says this bunch of thugs and their intentional hysteria saved us? Please.

3. What? You want them to be specific?

- Not a chance.

4. the hand job

and the pay off.
it never ends, does it.
the bush re-elect campaign will get to hold on to it's many millions with this kind of false advertising.

5. No no no...the CIA's terrorism expert...

You always have to remember this : The CIA decides which terrorism "experts" appear on CNN. You won't hear terrorism "experts" like Eric Margolis. Margolis was squeezed on CNN a few times during the lead up to the Iraqi War - he warned of EXACTLY what's happening now. He also pointed out that Saddam was a creation of American foreign policy. Haven't heard from him since...

But YOU can...

Saddam is The Man Who Knew too Much
By ERIC MARGOLIS -- Contributing Foreign Editor
Saddam Hussein's capture is being feted in Washington as a political and personal triumph for President George W. Bush that further increases his chances of winning re-election next year.

Many Americans, misled by the administration and its media allies into believing Saddam was somehow responsible for the 9/11 attacks, are lustily cheering Sheriff Bush and his posse. They are unaware the demonized Iraqi leader used to be Washington's man in Mesopotamia.

Nor do they understand the astounding price of this manhunt: a war costing over $160 billion US that violated international law and America's democratic and moral traditions; surging hatred of the U.S. abroad; over 3,000 American military casualties and many thousands of Iraqis; and the ongoing burden of colonial occupation.

6. saved us from what?

no headlines about terrorists in custody. this is starting to look like a joke

7. Peter Bergen consistently said Saddam/Al Qaeda relationship

was tenuous at best before the war.
In other words, he was saying there was no relationship, but he was just covering his butt just in case.

He has written two books on Al Qaeda and has met Osama bin Laden.
He is usually political when he talks bout the Bush administration, but you can tell he wants to say they are full of sh%$.

[RBHam]

8. Then why doesn't he tell them they're full of it?

Access? Keeping his phony, baloney job?

[NNN0LHI]

9. Don't you think that anyone who passes themselves off as a...

..."terrorism expert" would be kind of obligated to tell the truth? I mean only peoples lives are at stake here after all. I mean couldn't he have even had the guts to say that even though we may have scared the terrorists off this time as he suggests that there is really nothing to stop the bad guys from striking the day after we drop the color coded terror threat level? I mean come on now. Lets get real here. He supposedly is getting paid to say what he believes. Not what he is told to say as he is obviously doing. He is a paid shill for Bush and his minions. Nothing more, nothing less. He has proven that many times over. And I don't care who he has interviewed. He is still a dick wad.

10. I should sell Peter Bergen some Flying Rhinocerous repellant...

There hasn't been a single Flying Rhinocerous anywhere near my house since I bought it (though I have to admit, I hadn't seen one before, either).

It comes in 12 oz spray cans, and works great.

11. I guess turn about is fair play

We say the same thing about President Clinton. I can't blame them for this. It only makes sense. It is impossible to prove one way or the other.
