For those who have been watching the terrorist defense activities on teevee today . . . . .

[Stinky The Clown]

. . . . what do you think of what you're seeing, hearing, and learning?

I have to admit to being a major cynic and am mostly rolling my eyes and watching our crack security folks with a degree of disdain or disgust at the Keystone Kops feel to it all.

I also find all the talking head "security experts" who are getting a chance to pontificate to be self absorbed geeks with nothing significant to say apart from using a lot buzzwords.




edit to insert the word "been" in the thread title

1. wall to wall to wall coverage, long after the facts are divulged

it's election time, like clockwork

[Stinky The Clown]

2. Yup, there's that aspect to it as well

"Shiny Thing"

[spanone]

5. i want to hear the facts...that takes about a minute...then there's 59 min. of speculation

now they're reporting that the President will comment on the non-event

[polichick]

3. It does seem like an election ploy by Republicorp. nt

[Stinky The Clown]

9. Could be the very opposite . . . . .

. . . . could be the Dems trumpeting this. Fact is, Obama's record on this sort of crap is way better than the repubs. Idiot Son was fer shit at keeping us safe. With Obama, there's been, essentially, nothing apart from that kook Army doctor.

And Dr. Tiller.

14. I doubt it - the right still perceives Republicans as being strongest on defense...

And it's all about manipulation and delusion on that side.

[Individualist]

23. That's my take as well.

As I said in another post, fear has long been governments' favorite tool for keeping the populace in line.

Only government could have ordered those military jet escorts - not the media nor reich wingers.

7. And it's ALWAYS "get those ratings!" time. nt

[daa]

4. OCTOBER SURPRISE

Isn't there an election Tuesday????????????????????????????????????????????????

Where is Chimpy and the colored M&Ms now.

[wryter2000]

6. The Prez is supposed to address the nation

I have a feeling that could rain on the repigs "be afraid!" parade.

[nadinbrzezinski]

8. Test run

And part of a pattern. There are those who do want to kill you, regardless of time of year. You need to find a way to watch furiegne press, serious.

And I'd rather have you thinking keystone cops than a big boom!

[Stinky The Clown]

20. Yanno, there's no way I can disagree with your hypothesis . . . but . . .

. . . until the facts come out, my own first instinct is to roll my eyes.

Yup, there are bad guys out there and they do, indeed, want to kill us.

Maybe what has me going is the media. These guys are creaming in their jeans over this.

[Bozita]

10. I already pissed my pants and I need to know if my laptop might electrocute me.

[Stinky The Clown]

22. be careful about where the power cord runs

[HipChick]

11. I'm jaded...Where's Dark Vader?

[rustydog]

12. If this were still BUSHCO, the national threat level would be RED

Fox news is having the most prolific circle-jerk over this that hasn't been seen in years.

[Barack_America]

13. I'm reminded of "shots fired!" on the Potomac.

"Bang, bang, bang".

Needless hysteria, the lot of it.

[walldude]

15. Nice timing...

Gee why do I feel more jaded now than I did when I woke up today?

[sally cat]

16. Someone posted in another thread that President Obama will address the nation about this tonight so

it must be a pretty big deal.

[blondeatlast]

24. Even if it wasn't really, the m$m made it into one. Now it has to be handled with kid gloves.

Do you trust the m$m?

[Raine]

17. Much ado about nothing IMO nt

[kestrel91316]

18. This is just more crap cooked up by the RWers who are the folks truly in

charge of FBI, CIA, NSA, TSA, etc. October surprise designed to scare people into voting for the only one who can SAAAVVVVE USSSSSSS, the RW.

[librechik]

19. Terror=VOTE REPUBLICAN

they need do no more

[lunatica]

21. Tempest in ye olde teacup methings

Chicken Little's sky is falling!

[OHdem10]

25. The Terrorist just wanted to disrupt things. here. Now that we

know everything is safe, we need to play it cool. Do not
give the terrorists the attention they want.

Stay Calm and Steady as you go.

There were explosive materials. We need to get on with our
Democracy.
