My head's going to explode

the next time I hear a Republican chastise the Dems for policitizing the war on terror. I've spent the last two days listening to them crow about how George Dubya's back, about how the Dems are weak and traitorous. They accuse us of cheering whenever the news is bad in Iraq. So why are they cheering over a terror plot like it was done to give George a boost in the ratings?

They are DESPERATE. That's why we are at code orange, IMO.

Red... It's code RED.

IMO, this is a complete exercise in CONTROL. Why can't someone bring a chapstick on a plane yet only 10% of our check-in luggage across the country is scanned for bombing materials? That means all of these long lines and "security" checks really mean NOTHING, eh? Who cares if I have a lipstick tube with me if the belly of my plane is FULL OF EXPLOSIVES? Think about it.

Control freaks.

I wouldn't be surprised if Parliament isn't positioning themselves to throw a vote of NO CONTEST Blair's way! Both are up shit creek, IMO.

...diddly to do with thwarting the plot in the first place. If anything, the news should show everyone, once and for all, how totally out of touch President Brush-Clearance is.

which is exactly how CLINTON dealt with terrorism. You gotta hand it to these people to take credit for something they had nothing to do with, and to use it to justify their actions which have been the antithesis of what succeeded in this case.

All passengers must have their heads removed before boarding any flights!!!

I just got this picture in my mind of my head in a jar, the only problem being the jar has liquid in it, and that wouldn't be allowed either.

and screaming "Nixon's baaaaack" while stomping on people and punching a hole in the WH. Freakin' hilarious.

and accuse the Repugs of being glad there are these terror cells out there that they can politicize.

Why are they so gleeful? Why is the fact that there are increasing numbers of terror cells make them so happy?

Get people's fluids back on airplanes!

and played like a fiddle by rove. More terror activity means bush is a great leader. I'd laugh if I weren't crying.

for the first time since Nixon, Murkans are somewhat less stupid than the repukes think they are.

You eliminate the pricks. You got no more prostitution.

President George W. Bush likes to boast of five attack-free years in the United States since 9/11. He claims to have decimated the al-Qaida network.

But the re-emergence of an al-Qaida-style mega-plot -- even a foiled one -- shows just how little headway Bush's war on terrorism has made in defeating Islamic extremism, several analysts said yesterday.

Some gave Bush and British officials good marks on the cops-and-robbers part of stopping the plot, but most sharply criticized Bush's broader war-on-terror campaign as severely disjointed and distracted by the decision to go to war in Iraq.

Not only did the war cause Bush to draw time and attention away from the hunt for Osama bin Laden and other extremists, it fueled anti-U.S. hatred in the Islamic world that creates a seemingly endless supply of plotters and would-be martyrs, they said.

More than that, several analysts said the sophistication and coordination of the current plot show that far from being out of business as a driving force in terrorism, as Bush would suggest, al-Qaida still has the brains and muscle to mount a major attack.

"We took our eye off that ball when we didn't finish that job in Afghanistan at the outset, and when we decided to add Iraq," said Leslie Gelb, a longtime foreign policy analyst with the Council on Foreign Relations.

Dems politicizing terror :sarcasm:
I some wingnut on youtube say that Kerry's criticism of the WH's policies on terrorism a sign of the Dems politicizing terror :eyes:
