Hmmm...
08/01/04 - WASHINGTON (AP) -- The federal government warned Sunday of possible terrorist attacks against ``iconic'' financial institutions in New York City, Washington and Newark, New Jersey, saying a confluence of chilling intelligence in recent days pointed to a car or truck bomb.
In an unprecedented action, the government named these specific buildings in densely populated areas as among the potential targets:
Citigroup buildings and the New York Stock Exchange in New York City.
The International Monetary Fund and the World Bank buildings in Washington.
Prudential financial in northern New Jersey.
Maybe people will start paying attention to the warnings instead of griping about them...then again, maybe not. Didn't Kerry or the Dems question the timing of the original threat release?
08/05/04 - WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Former Democratic presidential candidate Howard Dean asserted again Wednesday that "ample evidence" exists that President Bush was playing politics when he approved raising the terror alert level Sunday -- a contention Bush administration and campaign officials deny.
"Conspiracy to commit a public nuisance by the use of radioactive materials, toxic gases, chemicals and or explosives."
"Commit a public nuisance"?!
How about conspiracy to commit mass murder?
I am sure their intent was not to just commit "public nuisance".
I wonder what these "radioactive materials" were?
Rep. William J. Pascrell Jr., D-N.J., also questioned whether the timing of the release was politically motivated, noting that the raised terror alert comes on the heels of last week's Democratic convention.
Found this as well:
But some Democrats have raised concerns that the timing of the release of the information had more to do with politics than with fears that terrorists were about to strike.
It was the threat they touted as "old information" as well:
``The administration is manipulating the release of information in order to affect the president's campaign,'' Dean told the New York Times. ``The president has a long history of manipulating public opinion.''
I demand that Dean and the Dems apologize! {mumbling something about pigs flying}
And guess where they probably got that stuff? Iraq.
The 9/11 Commission Report states that Iraq trained AQ terrorists to use chemical, biological and nuclear weapons.
BTTT
It's the usual very unhysterical British understatement. But don't be fooled. They've GOT them and they won't be seeing daylight for a long, long time.
But being warriors for the imposition of Sharia law, I wonder what these dealers-out-of-death would prefer?
(a) Being accorded their "own" form of justice - no luxury of a trial before being put in front of a video camera to record their throats being cut, with the whole sick ritual later displayed on the internet and TV?
Or
(b) Screaming and yelling for justice in the fashion of the Westerners they detest so much - a fair trial conducted in open court with legal advisers in attendance?
I'm no psychic - but I think I might be able to guess which they'd choose.
Yeah....and add "seriously damaging a police officers boot with intent to cause grevious harm by impacting said boot with a serious hugh impacts by chin, nose and forehead"
