I always thought that those were they same people who voted for President Buchanan in 2000.
That story makes my skin crawl. Buying Tracphones and reselling them makes no sense...stealing and reselling yes, buying and reselling no.
If these guys were in posession of a thousand of them, what kind of conspiracy might they be in on?
This latest British plot shows exactly what danger we are in. Those were homegrown terrorists, and with our larger, similar population of Muslims, there has to be the same threat. A thousand phones hints at a large attack.
Very plausible. I also read where these guys would immediately open the cell phone boxes and put the batteries in a separate bucket, and maybe also set aside the smart chips. That doesn't seem like a way to preserve the detonator function once the batteries are out. I hope the NSA, FBI, CIA, ETC. are thinking about this.
Nothing! In fact, he oughta, and we should also answer the left with the fact that they sure in blazes have gone after Bush politically for US failures in the war, and they've never let up, so why shouldn't he claim victory when things go our way? (Which is amazingly anti-terror pro-keeping us alive)
Tim Russert: The democrats say you are trying to capitalize politically on 9/11. How do you respond?
President Bush: F'em!
Tim Russert: Huh!!??!!
Presdient Bush: He He He... Seriously, Tim, the democrats have done nothing but criticize me for fighting this war vigorously, for seeing that the ever-present thorn-in-our-side and number one Middle East troublemaker Saddam was dealt with, all in an effort to protect their lame butts as well as all other Americans, including, believe it or not, you corpulent behind. So this time I'm saying to the Democrats: "Too bad!!! I do, but you talk! You bet I'm politicizing 9/11, 'cause you and your stinking Felon Clinton caused it!!!
The hand say, "Tim... You got any other garbage to spew this morning? If not.... Later!"
" Kurtz says NBC is reporting USA asked Brits to move when they did on the terrorists. .."
This is absolutely amazing-but, not unexpected.
NBC News hawks Lisa Myer's piece-based on the standard NBC " unnamed sources ."
NBC's usual sources " People are saying " and " Many in Washington " are apparently on vacation.
No joke- Brian Williams routinely sources his propaganda pieces this way.
The gist of Myer's " blockbuster " is that the US pressured the Brits to fold up the terrorists prematurely. US authorities deny that report. That doesn't stop CNN or NBC from promoting this false report as news.
Brian Williams is in London- could he be Myer's secret source ? Hmmm.....
Thanks for the full info on him I suspect you are right the journalist part of him personality is coming into play here.
I hear ya'.
Don't forget schools. These demons would get a thrill out of killing our children.
Listen, with the MSM we're in a no-win situation here. They report the US pressured the UK to act now as a political move. But, if no action were taken and 10 airliners were blown out of the air the MSM would be hammering away because "we knew but we failed to act." Sheesh!
Sorry, the van story was out of Pittsburgh. I'll try to find the other.

True, and we are all very, very glad of it. Rule Britannia.
And, yes, I suspect Dr. Dean would come back as a flat line. That would mean he is "clinically dead" and we could start harvesting organs for transplant (or stem cell research). Of course, since he's still talking we have to assume that he's a zombie (can't be a vampire, he goes out in the daytime).

"The President was very, very clear about his priorities," one aide recalled, adding that those included assistance to the British, cooperation within the U.S. government and protection for passengers. Administration officials said the FBI and CIA, which have had trouble working and playing well with each other, dovetailed better than they have on any crisis in years.
Various U.S. intelligence and security agencies could have taken charge of tracking the plot and planning new restrictions on U.S. travelers, but Bush kept the job in-house.
Hey, watch it there. You're talking about my senator.... but, you're right. What a moron.
Absolute MTP consensus today !!
Gregory (even tho everyone can't stand him as WH correspondent) was a much welcomed change to the obnoxious gas Fat Boy gives off every week !!
Dean was a COWARD once again ....couldn't deal with a face to face debate !!
Mehlman was BRILLIANT !!
Kean & Hamilton ....were the anticipated boring they always are !!
Can't wait for Senile Wallace tonight on 60 minutes .....see you all then !!
My sympathies...LOL!
There was an arrest in Marietta Ohio of Michigan ME men buying up cell phones. Marietta is on Ohio River, Pittsburgh is on 3 rivers. Mackinac Bridge's 5 mile span is described by FBI as a target. Maybe plot involves van bomb taking out bridges, but if they have a live suicide driver, why use a detonator?
That is the reason why he does not go on more shows they do not ask him because he is such a goods spokesman.
