Man, you are rating high on the BS meter tonight.

I kind of wondered if they leaked it themselves since they were so well prepared with their response. They were not doing any scrambling to explain their position.

Shoo, fly.

Cheney's remarks are here Cheney Says US Faces Threat of Worse Attack</>

Thanks for the link. Cheney's words were very chilling. We can thank God we have people at the top in the WH who put the nation's interests above those of their party.

I just recalled one of my favorite Far Side cartoons. Picture this mr. pie.............Two large polar bears standing outside an igloo.......one says to the other......."Oh good, my favorite treat! Crunchy on the outside, chewy in the middle!"

May you be the chewy center for a polar bear treat.

Your petty jealousy is obvious to all who read this thread. The President is a MAN.....he is strong, courageous, filled with integrity, as sensitive and as masculine as men get. You can't measure up as a man, so you criticize those of us who admire him. Take your little self someplace else, and let us enjoy looking at a REAL MAN and his gorgeous wife in peace.

Okay, just posted a seperate thread. Pinged as many as I could think of but know I have forgotten many. Please go there and ping more or BTT.

President Bush has these guys all figured out, Why else would he release this info yesterday about the vague warnings and wait until tonight to announce that he had a plan on his desk on Sept. 9th, 2001 outlining a plan to go after and destroy Al-Qaeda and other terrorist groups who carried out the attacks on this country while the scumabg wasz in office.

We have adults in the White House and the Democrats have come to a gun fight with a knife. This administration has been and will continue to be underestimated. IMHO they could herd cats.

I have a strong feeling that today's liberal feeding frenzy will backfire on them, and they will feel it in November.

I have been thinking this same thing. Condi Rice put it all in perspective today didn't she, and despite this the media still through jabs at her but she stood firm and I really believe that her coming out today and explaining things helped. The headlines were awful, BUSH KNEW OF 911 ATTACK. This pisses me off because if you read the article it says he was warned but there was nothing substantial etc....So, helloooooo he didn't know of 911 ahead of time. But the average person on the street sees this and believes it. 2 people at my sons baseball practice said exactly that, DID YOU HEAR BUSH KNEW AHEAD OF TIME ABOUT 911???? ggggggggggggrrrrrrrr you have to sit these people down and instead of choking them explain because they are not intelligent enough to read or find out more.

I did see snippets of VP Cheney's speech and was struck by the deep feelings of anger and disgust shown in his forcefulness.

I didn't see the VP's speech, and only know what I read in the link I posted. Glad to hear he showed some sparks of anger and disgust. I am disgusted beyond words.

Hannity and Combs had Oliver North on last night and he reported that the liberal media was calling all the 9/ll survivors to get statements from them about the photos. That is how CNN got those people on TV so fast, they just changed the story. Some of these people just want their 15 minutes.

You go, Girl! Any idiot ought to know not to mess with us Bush Babes tonight of all nights!

[olliemb]

Several addresses are appearing on this thread and they are a little different. Help which is the right one.

[Kath]

You are a known Bush Basher, get lost. We don't care what you think.

[McLynnan]

I agree Cheney's tone is very serious, and try not to dwell too much on that which is out of our control, but sometimes it's hard. I honestly fear our government's biggest concern is some sort of nuclear incident on U.S. soil.

[jgdiamond]

Have you heard anything about ENRON lately, besides from that dispicable Snake-in-the-Grass Terry McAuliffe?

Could be....but the 9/11 attacks are more in the American psyche than a failed energy company ever would be.

I dunno...ask me in 10 minutes...I've been going back and forth all day on how damaging this all is going to be.

[alnick]

If we posted a picture of Harry Browne would you shut up?

ROTFLMAO.

It was not my intent to invoke any form of self-degradation.

Grab a dictionary. To incite a response from another party by means of agitation is to 'provoke', not 'invoke'.

[eskimo]

No, but I do have an expert and instant realization that your 'syllable-to-content' ratio is way out of whack.

I assure you, it was not my intent to exclude, from any discussion, those who linger in a monosyllabic environment.

[Republic]

I know how 'out there' this seems. But aside from breaking this news of the memo before the Dems could time the release of such news to right before an election makes super sense, I wonder if this wasn't a bit of a republican trap set to snare the dems into an embarrassing and revealing situation. I mean----did you catch dascle saying that Cheney had called him twice and asked that NO investigations of this matter ensue?

Methinks ol Dick Cheney threw some red (but oh so tainted meat) to the democrat dogs, er, leaders. Cause you just know that asking those spoiled little nasty power brokers, those anti-American socialist jerks to NOT do something provides a temptation they cannot resist. (As unacquainted with honor and respect and ethical behavior as dems are.) It was like putting candy in front of a little child.

My bet-Ol' Cheney and chums were fairly sure how daschle and geppy would handle the news, and my bet is they were dead on.

Now we discover, low and behold, that full and detailed plans for blowing ol osama and his gang of murdering thugs off the map was placed on President Bush's dest TWO DAYS BEFORE the tragedy. oooops! It would appear our President had plans for OSAMA before the horrendous attack upon our nation even took place. hehe
