Could they do an attack again??
Thinking about what happened yesterday makes one wonder. We obviously don't have very good security around if something like that could happen. I'm not sure how reliable NewsMax is but I read this gem and thought because of yesterday nothing would surprise me. On one hand I remember Cheney saying how if you vote for the wrong person you'll get attacked again. They do want to go to Iran but have no troops to do so. So what are they going to do? Nobody in the international community is going to help him. Here's this gem:

Snip: < Bush: Americans Have Reason to Fear Another Terrorist Attack

NewsMax.com Wires
Wednesday, April 21, 2004

WASHINGTON – President Bush said Wednesday that those Americans who expect another terror attack in this country have reason for such fears. "This is a hard country to defend," he conceded.

Questioned about an Associated Press poll showing that two-thirds of Americans believe another attack is "somewhat likely" before the presidential election in November, Bush said: "I can understand why they think we're going to get hit again."

"They saw what happened in Madrid," he told executives of more than 1,500 Associated Press-member newspapers at the cooperative's annual meeting.

"Our intelligence is good. It's just never perfect, is the problem," Bush said.

The train bombings in Madrid occurred within a week of Spain's national elections.

Bush acknowledged that the last few weeks in Iraq have been "really rough," but he pledged not to lessen his administration's commitment to a free and democratic Iraq.>

1. The 911 hearings showed, they need more definative evidence than...
a memo stating that terrorist are planning to fly planes into buildings this summer.

now if homeland security weren't such a friggin' joke maybe he would be more confident.

idiot

3. I think it's only exposure on DU and the blog world that stops them.
Some people complain about tinfoil conspiracy theorists and so on, but at least "they" know now that every single thing they say and do will be analysed to death online if they try it again. They made hundreds of mistakes last time that were caught in blog world. That must have shaken them. Look at the lengths they had to go to cover up those mistakes. They won't get away with it again.

4. Its Orwell's continuous war and its so fucking obvious. I don't know why
people don't just tell him to shut the fuck up.

Yellow, Amber, Red. oooooooooooo

What the fuck are you supposed to do with that information. Hide under the bed?

Help me Bushy your my only hope.

Take away peoples freedoms so that they can be free.

Terrorist: "a person who uses violence and intimidation in pursuit of political aims"
The Oxford English Dictionary.

THATS YOU BUSH.

Terrifying people across America to consolidate his power. Its obvious, its blatant, and he should be fucking arrested.
