US President George W. Bush was to say in a speech that international cooperation helped thwart a terrorist attack on the US west coast, according to White House spokesman Scott McClellan.
McClellan did not provide any details about the plot, or the way it was prevented, but told reporters the purpose of Bush's remarks was to "show the kind of international cooperation that is required" to defeat terrorism.
He also said the goal was not to justify Bush's controversial order, after the September 11, 2001 attacks, to allow spying on Americans without getting a warrant, in a break with past practice.

They should stay as long as the Dems do not regain control of the WH or Congress. If the Dems do, the workers should immediately start working from home.

LA Bank Tower, Sears Tower, Brooklyn Bridge. Hmmmm. Seems like all of the targets are in Democratic controlled cities. It must be a vast right wing / Al Queda co-conspiracy.

D*mn but I love this President. Unlike his father and other Republican Presidents in the past, George W. Bush fights back and takes the fight to the enemy's, (read: demoncrap), d*mn face.
Go W. Go!

He's in fact a make-believe character played by a anti-American hippy's Hollywood kid and is named after a type of Marijuana.
Oddly enough, I personally know of many cases where ultra liberal, aged hippy parents end up with suprisingly conservative kids. I have no idea what Keifer's politics are but it wouldn't suprise me if he was much more conservative than his Daddy.

Wonder if the MSM will report this, or just say it is more Rovian propaganda.

Next year, I'm scheduled to move in to the Seattle Municipal Tower, a 50-60 story building right next to the 80-story Columbia Center, which has previously been identified as a one-time potential Al Quaeda target. Both buildings are at the southern end of the business district and would be totally exposed for a 9/11 type attack. I'm not looking forward to the move.

I was on the 24th floor of a Marriott in Chicago recently and was freaking out just thinking of 911. Good luck.
