Missouri Mule said:Obviously a Bush plot.
Donkey1499 said:Attacking with all those cops around would be pretty dumb.
Missouri Mule said:Suicide bombers are not known for their high IQ's. Therefore it would make perfect sense.
Canuck said:how much IQ does it take to concoct the 2 twin towers disposal
and the pentegon hit
all at the same time and all without even bieng noticed
while america stood agape scratching their heads and saying I didnt know that could be done
and FEEMA saying
buy duct tape and plastic ,read your duck and cover booklets.
now thats lunacy as if plastic and duct tape will stop a 707
Missouri Mule said:The suicide bombers are fanatical imbeciles. But as Bush stated yesterday, bin Laden and his gangsters never go along for the ride.
Canuck said:and is the military strategy of bush not lunacy
is it not imbecile to inflame arabs by building bases in arabia
I am white my family has been in North America for over 400 years
It doesnt cloud my vision though
Missouri Mule said:And I take it you were in on the military strategy meetings of Bush's top advisors. Would you mind filling in the rest here what was said so we can judge the plan more knowledgeably? Inquiring minds want to know.
Canuck said:open your eyes, the plan has unfolded the last 2 years in front of you .
If you think that the plan is working,
tell me why is america in Iraq ,in the second war ,and in the second year ,of
that second war.and still the iraq people fight you
you are not fighting china here
you are fighting a third world rag tag militant group
and it seems they are winning at the moment
scottyz said:A threat against NY coming out of Iraq at a time when support for the war is low,Bush's approval ratings are low and he is struggling to form a tie between Iraq and terrorism is suspicious to me. Seems like whenever the admin is having trouble with it's agenda a new terrorist "threat" pops up.
But it was the LOCAL officials that took the alert seriously...Pacridge said:They've kind of become modern day boy's who cry wolf. I have no idea if this latest threat was credible. But during the last election the threat warning came and went with exacting frequency of Bush's poll numbers. After the election was over the warnings all but disappeared.
If the credibility was overblown, why did they leak it to the local officials? They didn't think Bloomberg would take a warning from the Federal Gov. seriously? Why didn't they tell him to keep it quiet?cnredd said:But it was the LOCAL officials that took the alert seriously...
The FEDERAL government(Homeland Security) was the one that said the credibility of the threat was overblown...Which is the OPPOSITE of your contention...
Mayor Michael Bloomberg on Friday defended his decision to go public with the threat that terrorists might want to strike the New York subway system, saying it is essential that authorities err on the side of caution when protecting a city of 8 million people.
"If I'm going to make a mistake you can rest assured it is on the side of being cautious," Bloomberg said at a news conference, flanked by Police Commissioner Ray Kelly. But he stressed that he did not think that any mistake had been made.
In Washington,
President Bush said Friday that New York City officials exercised their own prerogative in publicizing the threat. Asked if he thought New York officials had overreacted, Bush said: "I think they took the information we gave and made the judgments they thought were necessary."
I said the Homeland Security said it was overblown...I DIDN'T say they were the ones who GAVE the local officials the information....It was the FBI...scottyz said:If the credibility was overblown, why did they leak it to the local officials? They didn't think Bloomberg would take a warning from the Federal Gov. seriously? Why didn't they tell him to keep it quiet?
You just said it was the FBI that warned them and not Homeland security?cnredd said:I find the logic of this very entertaining...
For the last few months, Homeland Security has been perceived as an inept entity within the federal government...Full of "crony" appointees and unqualified personel...They have been given no respect...
Now...when New York becomes aware of information that may lead to an attack, the voices ring out...
"How come your not listening to Homeland Security?"...:roll:
Your first correct statement...scottyz said:You just said it was the FBI that warned them and not Homeland security?
