...Oops.
Pennsylvania sure produces some odd people...
yeah, I never liked ridge...especially when he went to work for some middle east country.
Thank God we didn’t let those jackass RINOS talk us into putting this guy up against Specter.
Has anyone bothered to read the Ridge’s book to get a feel for the content and context of the statement? Oddly, I don’t have much faith in the seat of journalistic fraud—the NYTimes.
Just another RINO always was and will always be...
Tom Ridge - a legend in his own mind.
So to sum it all up:
A tape from Osama bin Laden threatens new attacks
Officials tell Ridge this may be cause for a heightened alert. Ridge wonders if this could somehow be political.
Thats it? Thats the “scandal”?
I can’t believe this moron actually was Gov. I thank him for his military service, but that’s it!
Has he been hangin’ out with Colin Powell?
That's more than I can say.
So Mr. Ridge didn’t think a threat tape from OBL wasn’t serious enough to raise the threat level.
I guess if you are among those who will be rushed to safety in the event of an attack, then he was right.
For the rest of us.........he didn’t give a damn.
Could someone help me here? I’m trying to remember what year it was that Islamic terrorists set off bombs in Spain just before an election for a national leader? And didn’t it cause a complete change in Spain’s national policy?
I’m also trying to figure out just how Ridge and his departement’s experts were so sure bombings for the same reason could not have happened here. Any ideas on this one?
Ridge is the proverbial bucket-of-warm spit RINO.
At that time, there was a lot of talk about al Qaeda staging attacks right before elections, in hopes of influencing the outcome. An example was the terrible attack in Spain, right before the election contest between Aznar and Zapatero.
I would hope that there certainly would be a discussion about possible threats right before the 2004 election, especially after bin Laden issued his threatening tape.
He probably put that in the book because he knew without that little statement no media would book him for interviews. Now he can be certain that all the traditional media will talk about his book.
Anyone who ever admired Tom Ridge is an imbecile.
Why is it that only the republican politicians kiss and tell?
I’m also sick of gay Republicans coming out to attack Bush...this is stupid.
