Yes, there may well be terrorist threats and terrorist cells here in the US. Yes, they may be planning something. They may well be quite virulent. They may have huge caches of weapons of all kinds.
But they aren't following us home from Iraq. First of all, even DUBYA admitted the "hardest" part of the war on terror has been convincing people that Iraq was involved. The meaning contained in this cryptic statement should be clear to anyone with a brain...Iraq wasn't involved in the 9/11 attacks.
The real problem in all of this is the fact that, as many including myself have predicted, we have come to the point of that like the villagers with the boy that cried, "wolf!" We are simply no longer buying the bullshit. We have no choice. We are overstimulated! The fear button has been pushed so often, and we have jumped like fleas escaping a wet dog so much, we are simply in a state where we don't have any jump left in us.
So, is the sky falling? Is the wolf actually there at the door? I doubt it, I seriously doubt it. Let's look at what else is happening in the news, shall we?The Republi-fux are putting even greater distance between themselves and DUBYA. There is a bit of a revolt getting together in the Senate because of the disaster that is the Iraq war. The whirlwinds of scandal continue to howl at the White House. The cries for impeachment are growing louder and louder. There is a wave of revulsion rising against the DUBYA administration. The shit is getting deep, and DUBYA and his minions need a diversion, desperately! What better way to divert the people than trying to scare them into submission? If we are scared enough, we'll stop asking questions and making a fuss. I'm sure that the beleaguered DUBYA administration would dig the silence, even if it only lasts a day.
I know I'll keep an eye on the news to see how hard they push the fear button this time around. I predict that like every other dire warning we have had, this will amount to absolutely nothing. Hopefully, considering the rest of the crap that's happening, this will be the time where we the people slap the shit out of the little boy crying, "wolf!" That means YOU, Chertoff Little! If the sky is falling, it's headed right for the top of your chromed dome, you idiot!
