So we go from "Don't give us information that is general and non-specific" after 9/11, to "why didn't you give us general and non-specific information" prior to any concept of the threat and devistation to come, pre 9/11......

LA Times story on same date, describing outrage over "general, non-specific" warnings, by the same folks, who 7 months later, are feigning outrage over the issue of NOT releasing "general, non-specific" warnings.

No problem, the DemonRats haven't figured out yet that they have embraced another losing issue. They latched onto Enron and had to back off, looking totally stupid in the process, because their own people were more involved than anybody in the Bush administration.

Now they're going to latch onto this, thinking that people don't realize that both houses of Congress had the same info as the President did. This problem could have been nipped in the bud as early as 1995 if Klinton hadn't been so busy dealing with his personal problems.

Dodd is a dope. "Uh don't tell us anything, uh why didn't you tell us anything?". Geesh!

Thank goodness for the Internet and sites like FreeRepublic. Every day more people have access to information that would have been kept away from the public just a few years ago or filtered by the big 3 networks. At least WE know what's really happening. And so do more people every day.

Three cheers for FreeRepublic! Hip-hip......

Sen. Richard Durbin (Ill.) said the Democratic Caucus wants to be as cautious as the administration but wondered whether that kind of vague warning would only “create more fear and anxiety.” “I think we have to caution the administration to be careful,” Durbin said. “They can only do this so many times before they lose their credibility.”

Blah, blah...blah, blah blah, blah...blah, blah, blah, blah.

Give it a rest Dickie.

Well, the Dems strategy to bring down President Bush is becoming clearer by the day.

They're coming out with all guns blazing, folks. They have absolutely nothing else. There is no longer any doubt that the intent here is to use every tool at their disposal, especially the Marxist media, to attempt to destroy the President. They will do whatever, and I do mean whatever they can to keep this alive until the election.

I really hope they are taking notice of this at the White House and have some sort of plan to fight back. This is pure Marxist warfare and the Republicans better realize that and start aiming their own guns before it is too late. It is imperative that we keep hammering them accusation for accusation, attack for attack, until they are driven back into their caves like the filthy animals that they are.

It can be done, easily. Do the Republicans have the stones to do what they have to do?

Because Democrats speak with forked tongues.

This is an absolutely fantastic find. Although I think a bunch of us are a little embarassed that we didn't remember this so-recent Democrat smear campaign - from exactly the opposite quarter.

This is the perfect piece of doo-doo to mash in the Democrats' face and say "Well, what the hell do you want?! Vague warnings or no? You've had it both ways and you're STILL looking for an election issue."

Let us not forget that Democrat Senator Daniel Patrick Monahan seriously proposed shutting down the CIA.

He was IIRC member and sometime chair of the Senate Intelligence Committee.

Senate Democrats criticized the Bush administration for its warning that another terrorist attack could come in the next week, without giving any specifics. “As if we’re not on high alert already,” Sen. Chris Dodd (D-Conn.) said after Director of the Office of Homeland Security Tom Ridge briefed Senate Democrats. “It provokes its own level of panic.”

I predicted this last night on Post #18 of this thread...... :-)

***************************************

Last night I wrote:

"I disagree that making public a generic threat that someone, somewhere, at some future date planned to highjack an aircraft (in the traditional pre-911 meaning of the word) would have saved a single life.

Aircraft highjackings have been going on since the 1960's. What, exactly, would anyone have done differently? Avoid air travel? Implement post-911 security measures in a pre-911 world?

If post-911 security had been implemented, the Democrats would have howled about "fear mongering". If special measures were taken to monitor young Muslim men, the Democrats would have thrown out the Racist Ethnic Profiling Card.

Now, we have generic threats of possible future shopping mall bombings. What, exactly, do the Democrats propose President Bush do to prevent such a future bombing?

Bomb detectors and metal detectors at shopping malls? Watch the Democrats accuse Bush of sabotaging the economic recovery. Extra vigilance for Muslims? Watch the Democrats throw out the Race Card.

Just for the record, Islamic terrorists in the unspecified future will try to:

1. Poison some American city's water supply.
2. Bomb some tunnel during rush hour.
3. Attack American military targets somewhere in the world.
4. Attack American tourists somewhere in the world.
5. Bomb an American airliner somewhere in the world.
6. Poison American food supplies somewhere.
7. Bomb an American bridge somewhere during rush hour.
8. Bomb a some American sports event.
9. Etcetera, etcetera, etcetera.

One week after any of those events happen, we will all, with 20/20 hindsight, know exactly what could have been done to prevent the tragedy. Monday Morning Quaterbacking always yields the correct solution to any problem."
