Today Show/NewsBusters one-percent ping.
John sKerry says we should be inspecting every piece of cargo that comes into the US. Talk about spreading ourselves thin.
If that 1% danger were to materialize, guess who the libs would BLAME?
If Bush took the terror threat seriously he would have closed the borders.
> The Bush administration takes terror threats too darn seriously.
And 9/11 was a laugh-a-minute, right? Crikey... they'll publish any fool's notion these days.
Hey, be kind to Mr. Suskind. He's a graduate of the Mr. Roger's School of Will-You-Be-My-Neighbor.
re headline....after all, they are oly a police matter...(sarcasm)..
These people, if they regain power, are gonna get us all killed!
Geeeeesh..not only do they want their cake, they want to eat it, keep the platter, the eggs, flour and sugar..
And yet- they see no conflict in these views.
They would do that?
Sure as shootin'.
I have the book, but haven't opened it yet. surely it depends what we are talking about. A 1% chance of a dirty bomb is more serious than jaywalking. Yet, it seems to me that many politicians are to chicken to deal with tough problems. So, they retreat into soft, safe areas. For example, Bloomberg says just let 1/2m illegals stay in New York city. When elected, he attacked the problems of smoking in bars and cell phones in theatres. Likewise, the great castratti who say we cannot deport 11m instituted a four day dragnet to enforce seat belt compliance over Memorial Day. It was so ironic, because, if they had been looking for illegals that weekend, instead of libertarians, much of the immigration debate would be moot.
Thanks for posting this so we are in on the ground floor of what will no doubt be a MSM blitz. The MSM will love the author saying Cheney runs the show. He's the evil visionary, Bush only carrries out Cheney's ideas.
The author thinks the government has excessive control over the information people get.
The author thinks following Cheney's doctrine of reacting to every possible threat, spreads us too thin, in other words, it's a mistake to react to each and every little perceived danger. (don't you wonder if he would have written this book if there had been another stateside attack after 9-11, even a smaller one)
The author assured viewers repeatedly, that this book will not give Al Queda any information they don't already have, and folks just so you know: (according to this author) Homeland Security is a joke.
Threadjacked at Post #5
After the beating the administration took on the PDB, no wonder they're going to look at everything. In the end, the media will castigate them for doing too much or doing too little, it's a no-win situation when you're a Republican.
Denial is an effective coping mechanism.
Didn't want you guys to miss this thread because I predict Ron Suskind will be the new media darling this week.
On a side note, did you happen to catch the CNN Presents episode last night? It was titled "Dead Wrong". A complete slam piece on the Rove/Plame/Wilson/Libby... fiasco. They gave Larry Johnson free and unquestioned views on the complete story. It was the most disqusting thing I have seen in quite awhile. Shameful
Bingo.
