WASHINGTON, Feb 16 (Reuters) - Democrats accused U.S. President Bush on Saturday of fanning terrorism fears shamelessly as he was about to lose certain authority to wiretap foreign suspects without a court warrant.
Bush, for his part, flailed the Democratic-controlled House of Representatives for what he called putting U.S. security at risk for political motives in an election year.
The Democratic leaders of the House and Senate, responding to a Republican blitz on the issue, said there should be no question in anyone's mind that U.S. intelligence agencies retained the right to take "all actions necessary to protect" U.S. security.
"For anyone to suggest otherwise is irresponsible and totally inaccurate," Senate Democratic leader Harry Reid of Nevada and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi of California said in a joint statement.

Mugniyeh is dead, but the global jihad and other terrorism keeps on going. So, how is the war on terror going? Who supports the war on terror? Who doesn’t. The answer should be obvious by now. -Cindy

ARTICLE SNIPPET: “In the 1990s, Mughniyeh and Iran took their show on the road. Not only did they reenact their car bombings in South America, they also expanded their terror nexus to the then nascent Sunni Wahabist al-Qaida organization. As Thomas Joscelyn documents in his short book Iran’s Proxy War Against America, Iran through Mughniyeh has been instrumental in training, arming and sheltering al-Qaida since the early 1990s.
As an Iranian agent, in the early 1990s, Mughniyeh built operational alliances with Osama bin Laden, Ayman Zawahiri and al-Qaida’s military chief Saif al-Adel when al-Qaida was based in Sudan. Adel, along with several hundred other al-Qaida operatives, travelled to Lebanon to undergo training at Hizbullah camps. Hizbullah trainers also worked at al-Qaida camps in Sudan and al-Qaida operatives also trained at Revolutionary Guard camps in Iran. From 1996 through 1998, 10 percent of bin Laden’s satellite phone calls were to Iran.”

Column One: Mughniyeh’s true legacy
By CAROLINE GLICK -Page 2
ARTICLE SNIPPET: “As Joscelyn recalls, the 9/11 Commission called for further investigation of Iran’s role in the September 11, 2001, attacks on America. Adel, a veteran of Hizbullah camps, was intimately aware of the bombing plans before it took place. Ramzi Binalshibh, the plot’s mastermind, travelled in and out of Iran several times in the months before the bombings. Then, too, eight to 10 of the September 11 bombers transited Iran assisted by Hizbullah and Revolutionary Guard officials in late 2000. The Iranians did not stamp their passports. Several of the bombers transited Iran en route to Lebanon. Mughniyeh himself flew to Beirut from Teheran aboard the same flight as September 11 hijacker Ahmad al-Ghamdi.
Although Iran and the Taliban nearly went to war against one another in 2000, in the wake of the US-led invasion of Afghanistan in October 2001, according to jailed Taliban leaders, Iran pledged to assist the Taliban in their war against the US. Teheran opened its doors to fleeing Taliban leaders and senior al-Qaida commanders - including Adel and bin Laden’s son and heir apparent, Saad and Abu Musab Zarkawi. From Iran, Adel and bin Laden Jr. planned and ordered attacks in Saudi Arabia.
Moreover, from Iran, Adel and bin Laden worked with Zarkawi in planning the group’s insurgency in Iraq. Citing an extensive report from the German Cicero magazine, Joscelyn describes how Zarkawi set up his terror network under the protection of the Revolutionary Guards. Zarkawi had no problem operating in Iran in spite of his avowed hatred of Shi’ites who, after entering Iraq, he massacred at every opportunity.”

Pelosi is such an @$$, she believes she can pull the plug on National Intel and in the same breath suggest that if there are any terror attacks it’s Bush’s fault?

Yep, and then there’s Ahmadinejad — the evil gift that keeps on giving.

You know, even though I would love to spite McCain and not give him my vote, I do think that if he were president the adults would still be in charge and doing the basic things that need doing to keep us from being attacked again, and if the rats choices were in there they would be too busy applying affirmative action and putting the janitor in surgery and the surgeon sweeping the floor.

“Jews worldwide urged to be alert”
By YAAKOV KATZ AND MARK WEISS
ARTICLE SNIPPET: “More than 50 Hizbullah terror cells believed to be spread across the globe could be activated and used to strike at Israeli or Jewish targets in retaliation for Tuesday’s assassination of Hizbullah arch-terrorist and operations officer Imad Mughniyeh in Syria, a senior defense official said Thursday.
Masses attend funeral of arch terrorist Imad Mughniyeh in Beirut
As Hassan Nasrallah vowed “open war” to avenge Mughniyeh’s death, the Israeli Counterterrorism Bureau issued a travel advisory on Thursday that made plain the seriousness with which it is taking the Hizbullah leader’s threats. But Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni said “Israel is a strong country” and that there was no need to panic.
FBI anti-terror units raised their alerts for fear of attacks on synagogues and other Jewish targets.
Sources in the US administration reiterated that there were no specific warnings of a terrorist attack; nonetheless, an FBI source said that the raised alertness of the Anti-Terrorism Unit, which operates in about 100 cities around the US, is not a routine step.”

Ok, that’s it for me on this thread, but to sum it up...It totally sucks to be a STUCK ON STUPID award winner.
It sucks even more to be killed or injured by terrorists. Something to think about.
ARTICLE HERE
On January 30, French security services raided a Paris apartment and arrested six Arab men. Three of the men - two Lebanese and one Syrian - were travelling on diplomatic passports. According to the Italian Libero newspaper, the six were members of a Hizbullah cell. Documents seized included tourist maps of Paris, London, Madrid, Berlin and Rome marked up with red highlighter to indicate routes, addresses, parking lots and "truck stopping points." The maps pointed to several routes to Vatican back entrances.
First, note the following: "Three of the men - two Lebanese and one Syrian - were travelling on diplomatic passports."
Diplomatic passports. And it was to target the Vatican as well as other European Capital Cities. No wonder the French are as twitchy as a cat in a rocking chair factory. They're waking up fast.
Diplomatic passports and capital cities.
Yep.
Thank you for your post.
Pelosi & Co. would say the opposite of what any Rebuplican said. Logic and rational thought has nothing to do with it.
The use of diplomatic passports turns this into a different beast for European tradition as well. It further inflames the crime of the conspiracy and raises it to certainty in their eyes. There may even be treaty language that equates this as if it were successful and if so, could trigger some pretty interesting mobilizations.
