Yeah, nothing like that, nope not at all.

SPEARFISH -- Sen. Tom Daschle, D-S.D., said Thursday that he was very concerned about homeland security issues in the face of what he called the most sobering terror report he had heard recently.
The United States is tightening security in the face of a steady stream of intelligence indicating an attack aimed at disrupting elections, the White House said Thursday.
The Department of Homeland Security is addressing the threat and has efforts underway to ''ramp up security,'' White House press secretary Scott McClellan said Thursday.
"It is absolutely essential for the U.S. Senate to turn its attention to what we can do to make America safe," Daschle said.
Of particular concern are the nation's borders and ports, Daschle said, and there are security issues unresolved as the homeland security appropriations are "hung up" in the Senate.
Asked if the timing of the terror concerns might be aimed at stealing political thunder from the announcement of John Edwards as the democratic vice presidential candidate, Daschle replied, "The report is so sobering and so serious that I cannot bring myself to believe anyone in this administration would use this for political purposes."
Daschle said the most recent terror briefing was the second this week and contained information that there is a higher threat than there has been at any time since the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks.
OH PLEASE....dramatic are we not?
Quote "And anything that does happen here before the election is absolutely Spain's doing. The whole world is now up for grabs, thanks to the stinking Socialists."
The WHOLE world has been up for grabs for years and years...they just didn't help any.
Yeah, nothing like that, nope not at all.
That's because he's too busy grabassing Edwards, and laughing at skanky foulmouthed "celebrities" talk trash about our President and our country. Emptyheaded a$$hole.

Which is why we have a generator and lots of cans of gas.
You've summed it up exactly how I feel.
Gut feeling tells me San Francisco is vulnerable. Golden Gate Bridge the most likely target. Lots of tourists from around the world, too, makes it very high profile in the rest of world. My guess, though, is that any attacks will be multiple events in probably several cities across the country.
Your source?
I saw the pc with her and Schumer. Clinton was asked at the end if she thought there was any political motivation to Ridge's announcement.
She scoffed at the idea.
Do try to keep up.;^)
Apparently you have a hard time understanding the implications of a terrorist attack that changes a government to one that bows to the demands of the murderers. Ask a grownup to explain in shorter words.
They wanted to do multiple state attacks last time,but OBL threw out that idea.They are less well coordinated this time,so I really doubt they can pull off a multiple state attack.
Well, it actually makes a lot of sense. Hollywood and LA are the face of America around the world. It's a face very religious people have a hard time accepting and it's their culture that many Muslims are angry about.
Here is a "why they hate us" type article.
In his essay “Between Yesterday and Today,” Banna wrote that the colonialist Europeans had expropriated the resources of the Islamic lands and corrupted them with “their murderous germs”: "They imported their half-naked women into these regions, together with their liquors, their theaters, their dance halls, their amusements, their stories, their newspapers, their novels, their whims, their silly games, and their vices. . . . The day must come when the castles of this materialistic civilization will be laid low upon the heads of their inhabitants. "
The Brotherhood’s slogan was, and remains, “God is our objective; the Koran is our constitution; the prophet is our leader; struggle is our way; and death for the sake of God is the highest of our aspirations.”
It includes such gems as this: (2) The second thing we call you to, is to stop your oppression, lies, immorality and debauchery that has spread among you.
(a) We call you to be a people of manners, principles, honour, and purity; to reject the immoral acts of fornication, homosexuality, intoxicants, gambling's, and trading with interest.
This conflict is very much about fundamentalist Islam versus person freedom.
What's sad is that it's the American political left that has the most to lose in all this, yet they fight us again and again.
Time to call AuntB for a crying towel.
Take a look at the Freeper comments on this thread and realize how futile your efforts are to turn Freepers against Bush.

Your question about whether Hillary really said that the Republicans are using this terror alert for political purposes prompted me to go and do a bit more research.
What I found, to my surprise, is that the Democrats switched their play book, while I blinked.
Now they are all saying how serious the threat is and why isn't the Bush administration taking more action.
It seems they are getting ready to blame Bush for the next attack, to go on record, that they want more security.
Dems are nothing, if not hypocritical and despicable.
Democrats pounce on terror alert
They're demanding new measures to protect railroads, ports and air travel.

They are also doing this to derail some other Republican bills on the Senate.
I should have known!!!!
The terrorists of 9/11 fame all flew into this country.We have home grown cells.Playing that johnny one note theme doesn't help nor inform.
"I simply can't believe that terrorists would want Bush to be reelected...that can't be to their advantage, regardless of what some libs have said."
For the Clintons this is an advantage and for the anti-war zealots, 4 more years of W would allow them to complete what I have seen as the groundwork within the left: to create a permanent anti-war front as a wedge to create a socialist America and an all-powerfull UN.
The problem for them is the moment that a red-haired, freckled white kid named Harold becomes a suicide bomber and/or terrorist, the sh!t will hit the fan.
In regards to Daschle, the threat is probably so serious that to not put out a strong statement is to set the Dems up as 2nd hand accomplices if something was to go down. Either way, an attack before the election will be more harmful to them than to W and brethern.
They'll do and say ANYTHING to recapture power.They don't give a damn about anything else.Dem'd do a good immitation of the Vichy government,if OBL took over and said that they could still sorta,kinda have jobs.
