I get the feeling that the DBM/DNC has been blown away by the UK Terrorist busts, and they have to go way farther over the edge to almost total insanity,or they will still be in the Minority after November. To them it is do or die, especially where the DBM is concerned because they cannot take another election cycle with their Circulation,Revenue,etc. numbers in the toilet. By the way, Ariana Huffington has daughters that I hope are raising themselves. What a role model for beautiful little girls............ Yikes!!!!!!!

Who's the father? Eddie Albert? I heard "Mr." Huffington was light in the loafers. Not that there's anything wrong with that.

Excellent analysis.  They really are scrambling, throwing out tons of alternate and conflicting spin, looking to see what gets traction.  We need to be on top of this for the next few days.  This is a critical phase of the information war.

So far I've picked up the following thems:

1. Bush staged the UK bomb plot to distract from the big loss of "his guy" in Connecticut
2. Bush staged the UK bomb plot so that he could spin the Lamont victory and make anti-war types look bad
3. The UK bomb plot was defeated by police action, not war and the war in Iraq is a distraction
4. The UK bomb plot was hatched because of the war in Iraq and all Muslims loved us before we invaded peace loving Iraq
5. The UK bomb plot has nothing to do with the war on terro and simply reflects the racism of the British government (this from the British press)
6. The UK bomb plot proves that Bush has failed in the war on terror, otherwise they wouldn't have been able to get this far
7. The UK bomb plot was an Al Qaeda operation and if we'd only stayed out of Iraq we would have caught/capture Osama Bin Laden by now, and the WOT would be over

and there are others I'm sure I've missed.

Everytime we identify one of the talking points we have to identify who said it and where, then patiently walk through it, step by step, and show what crap they're selling.
