The Subway Alerts
Do the math:
a. The President's approval rating hits an all-time low
b. In the past, raising the terror alert scared the public into supporting the administration, but has since come under attack as being a tool for political gain
c. The President gives a big speech on terrorism to combat criticism of his leadership
d. A heightened security alert is announced on the NY subway
Sounds like a backhanded way to raise the terror alert to us.
From ABC News:
"Department of Homeland Security sources told ABC News they were very doubtful the threat information is credible..."The city's police department said it was taking the threat seriously and believed the source was reliable, but also urged the public not to be alarmed because the information had not been verified.

Frank,
Very good tactic. Change subject, smear someone else.
Won't work.
Tom Ridge admitted he adjusted the color-codes according to White House instructions. The timing of this one is equally suspicious. Don't play dumb, don't shift the conversation.
We cannot -- ever -- trust that the government is concernced for our safety. That sad, documented fact makes the President and his cronies unfit for the positions they hold.

According to the bastion of conservatism, the Washington Post, the DHS shared the information with Bloomberg. DHS also shared that the information was likely not reliable. Bloomberg decided to issue the warning and asked the Feds to join him. Where was your outrage when Clinton launched cruise missles every time he or a member of his administration was called to give testimony?

Strong, competent leader....hmm...there are none of those in Washington (well...there may be a few).
The terrorism threat is real. Whether there was any credibility to this last threat, I don't know (it does seem odd that terrorist would want to strike the subways on a Sunday and not at the heart of rush hour on a work day) but people are deluding themselves if they think this is all some carefully spun conspiracy in order to deflect attention away from Bush's incompetence.
We have headlines about Tom Cruise's forthcoming baby to do that.

Bush sucks. We all get the point.

All I have to say if you still think Bush is a strong and competent leader I have a house in New Orleans to sell you.

all i'm saying is we have no idea... who can we trust? not these bastards.

wait, so you mean bin laden's not a real person? no one actually flew planes into the twin towers, there were no subway bombers in london, etc.
these aren't the droids you're looking for.

its true, its all a ruse to keep people afraid of change.

Why should we believe any of the BS that comes out of this administration's crooked mouths. Fear is the only thing that works for them, so that's the well they'll keep going back to.

I'm at the point where I don't even think Fun Time's prediction is out of the realm of possibility... these bastards will do anything to keep their grip.

If I'm not mistaken, there is a terror alert of some sort in NYC _every_ time Bush gives a speech about the War On Terror. Granted, this one is a bit flashier than usual, but still...

I guarantee you, somewhere, the Neo-cons have done some math, crunched some numbers and worked up some charts and graphs to figure out how much, really, it'll help them if they stage a terrorist attack on NYC themselves. The city never votes for 'em (though we have a crappy Republican mayor-- explain that to me...), and they've squeezed just about all the juice out of 9/11 photo-ops that can be gotten.
The next "terrorist" attack to hit NYC will come without warning, and it will be purpetrated by the Neo-con fear machine.
Paranoid? Nope. Realistic. They need us scared, they need an enemy that won't go away... and a bunch of dead New Yorkers helped cement the presidency of a hired stooge already.
We've become like the characters in mob movies-- when you get whacked, It'll be the person claiming to be your friend who whacks you.
Sleep tight, America. Your government has it all under control...
