Former Homeland Security Secretary Tom Ridge on raising the terror alert level before the 2004 election: "We made the right decision, we did not go up."

Bin Ladens tape released at the time was sufficient....who gives a rip about what “color” the dullard Ridge’s coloring book used then or now?

Ridge is just getting some face time for himself now, i.e. trolling for whatever might come his way, and slapping Bush this long after-the-fact is following suit with omommas goons.....I’m quite sure Ridge would work for them.....cheap, too!

Ummm...you might want to listen to the tape, not what the MSM has claimed that he said.

It is now very clear that he did not claim that President Bush asked him to raise the threat level for political reasons.

Once more it proves that you cannot believe anything the MSM tells you.

I am sure his grandchildren think he is a hero.

[Vn_survivor_67-68]

actually what I’d like to see is the passage(s) in “his” book that MSM took as license for their claims....as for the bit in the tape, he hemmed and hawed (WE made the decision, but “I’M” da man), rather than make an unequivocal denial of what MSM was saying....admittedly, I don’t like this guy, and never did

[God luvs America]

funny...the AP and others in the criminal liberal media aren’t covering this like white on rice....

[Sudetenland]

Agree! On both points, the passage (but I'm not interested in filling his pockets)...because...and on him. I was never a fan of that RINO.

I believed he was ineffective as Homeland security secretary...but then I never believed that we needed a Homeland Security Department...isn't that the job of the FBI?
