I'm sure they get all kinds of "chatter" all the time. It's just really suspect when the decide that they need to trot it out, it always coincides with bad news for Bush. I don't see any issue with informing officials about "hot" info, but what the hell does telling everyone about it do, other than hyping anxiety? What is Bill Stockpick in NYC supposed to do, let alone, Joe bob Sixpack in Memphis? If you happen to look at the polls this weekend(take my word, I don't have a source it was on CNN earlier) Kerry had a bump presumably from the convention. The bump disappeared when Tom Ridge came out and played the fear card.
Indeed. The Bush administration is clearly breaking the law (what else is new) and controlling people with fear. This alone makes me furious. They are taking advantage of 9/11, a tragedy, and pissing on it with their manipulative bullshit lies. They should be ASHAMED of themselves, telling people to "never forget" 9/11 and then using that as an excuse to have resolve for threats that simply AREN'T TRUE or OUTDATED.
I swear to god, if I was old enough, rich enough and had the opportunity, I would probably move to Canada or Europe. I hate what this administration has done to this country, and I am just as disturbed when it comes to how brainwashed at least half of our people are when it comes to listening to this administration and what it has to say. It saddens me that our society has become so hopeless, and sickens me that so many people have already spent so much time strongly believing in what they have to say, defending what they're doing, and trying to explain it to other people. People get all pissed off because Bill Clinton (and I know he is not the most decent man in the world, now get off my back) got some head in the White House, and perhaps didn't pay attention to terrorism like he should have. But hell,
ANY president pre 9/11, unless it was during the time period in which George W. Bush did not pay serious attention to new threats presented to the government, probably wouldn't have.
So let's get this straight, guys: it's just AWFUL that the president had a PERSONAL PROBLEM with a fucking INTERN who was OLD ENOUGH to realize what she was doing, but it's ACCEPTABLE that every day, kids my age are getting killed over a LIE. I know cheating on your wife is a terrible thing, but shit, so is indirectly murdering thousands of troops because you lied about what's going on in other countries. Clinton cheated, and it was a very personal affair only to be inflated by the media. Bush is a killer. Which one is more worse to
YOU? Of course, I guess this is no big deal, after all most Americans seem to think this way when it comes to anything. For example, I can see dead bodies and shootings on programs like CSI, but god forbid if I see a girl flashing her tit for half a second on a reality TV show. Nope, that'll be censored. But we can show a raped girl's dead bruised cut up body on Cold Case or some shit. Yeah, that sends a really good message to the youth. Fucking hell.
Why am I going off on such a little rant? Because it directly relates to what has happened today with this threat. People believe what is being said about our security, they never give it a second thought. But if people didn't believe Clinton when he said "I didn't get any in the White House, honest" a siren goes off in everyone's head. There is a serious, deep-rooted problem within the heads of more than half the "adults" in this country.
I'm sorry, but I only grow more sickened by this administration, every day almost.
