I tried that for a week. It was great fun. But exhausting. Raving liberals have great focus and stamina.



Maybe so, but raving Conservatives get more national airtime.

I mean, fuck, here they actually DETECTED & STOPPED a terrorist attack before it happened, and people are bitching.



No, we are being told that is what happened.

Especially the Brits tend to be extra careful these days with what they are being told, they DO actually learn their lesson. On two previous occassions they were told about this grand terror plot that was foiled, both times it turned out to be a grand lie. I can understand them being sceptical this time.....

OK then.. If intelligence agencies actually DID detect & foil a terrorist plot, what would it look like then?



Up until now it would look the same, as it did in the previous two cases. But at some point some actual hard, credible evidence has to come forward. Not just, we are telling you this is what was going to happen. Not after being wrong twice, with one guy dead and one guy shot.

Yep, and there's degrees of failure. Thankfully, those terrorists FAILED to meet their goal.



No, they didn't fail. They succeeded!

Actual killings are not the goal, they are simply the means to achieve the goal.

The goals are to cause a major disruption and to induce fear. Both have been achived.

Funny enough, this benefits both the terrorists and the current governments of UK and US.

bsbd!

That's where they're getting their airtime. The mainstream media gives them a forum but never challenges the nonsense that comes out of their mouths. And in some instances, they actually supply the nonsense.

Actually.... It may not be the most resourcefull or in dept coverage, but USA today did state they were peroxide based explosives. That would make an awfull lot more sense then the NG BS that was floating around yesterday.

Compared to whom by the way? Reid, Dean or Pelosi? They must get thier rediculus statements challenged daily (when referenced against your post)

So we are agreed. Raving nutjobism is a demanding and exhausting vocation. But the rewards are great.

Most news commentators these days repeat Republican talking points but they very rarely provide any analysis.
Recent examples:

CNN, Dana Bash simply repeats Conservative talking points claiming that Lamont's victory shows that the Democrats are "defeatist" and "weak on security". No analysis offered.

FOX, Ann Coulter says Lamont supporter are un-American.

ABC, George Stephanopolus repeats Republican talking points that Lamont supporters represent the far left.

MSNBC, Chris Matthews interviewing Tom Delay asks him to define "what's the worst thing that Democrats are hiding from the public." And then closes the interview after DeLay's response

CNN, pretty much anything Glenn Beck says.

MSNBC, pretty much anything that Tucker Carlson says.

FOX, pretty much anything John Gibson says.

CNN, Paula Zahn saying that the Democratic party is "getting creamed as the party of cut-and-runners, the wobbly and the weak".

MSNBC, Chris Matthews referring to Dems who voted for the war but don't stand with Lieberman as "cut and run".

NPR, Juan Williams repeated and even embellished the claim that Hillary's strong words against Rumsfeld were "pure politics" and ignored the substance of the arguments that she made.

And pretty much all of the networks spent all of their time following the Lieberman story and not the Lamont story. Instead of interviewing Lamont everyone's been focused on what Lieberman and his new found Republican allys have to say.

That's all I have time for now. Sorry.

that's the problem - I can't take USA Today seriously - anything they report is what is given to them by the Administration. If I don't trust them in the first place, I can't trust this very much. It's just enough information to fill in gaps, but not to be examined.

Happening in England doesn't help, even though it would make sense for such a plot to target the US and UK. Blair is taking even more of a beating over Iraq than Bush is, so certainly this kind of event helps him.

I tend to believe there is some substance here, but I suspect some embellishing was done, just as was done with Iraq to sell the war to the public.

Here in the (y)UK, we're starting to get reports & comments from the "Terror-Suspects" friends & family, who are basically going "What The Fuck!!??:S"

The "terrorist's" families seem as shocked as we are. Amazed that their relatives / mates were involved in terrorism.

In the meantime, The British Government has 28 days to keep hyping this before they have to put-up (a prosecution) or shut-up (release the suspects).

In the meantime, as one former labour Government aide put it... "This is a great time to release bad news".[:/]

The 'war' on 'terrorism':

This is madness. Destruction by design!

One secret society that I've read about has an expression, Ordo ab Chao, that is, Order out of Chaos. The way I see it and from what I've read the last few years, the U.S. Government and it's allies have used the Hegelian Dialectic to -

1. Create the problem (organize, train and fund 'fall guys', i.e., 'Terrorists')

2. Create fear and panic in the dumbed-down populace

3. Offer the solution (Freedom for so-called Security)

U.S. citizens have lost many freedoms since the commencement of this fictitious 'war on terrorism'. George Bush has said that he doesn't know or care where Osama bin Laden is. Life is getting harder for average folks and it's not because of some boogey-man 'terrorist', it's because the Government is clamping down hard. Hello?

I've read that some people are convinced nother large scale incident may be taking place prior to this coming November elections. Time will tell.

And, in case some of you may be wondering, Why would the U.S. government be involved with acts of violence against their own people? Don't forget that 'war' brings about BIG BUSINESS and lots of MONEY! Not only from making bombs, rockets, and bullets but from occupying other countries that are rich with OIL! Any nation that doesn't mind murdering it's most innocent and helpless citizens (Abortion of 50,000,000 unborn babies) will not think twice about carrying out even greater calamity, either in the U.S. or abroad. BAM

Perhaps it's time to dust off The Herman Goering Principle again?

OK... He was a Transvestite Junkie... But in terms of modern politics, that isn't all that outrageous, is it.

in reply to "The compromise truth my mind sees now is some laughing senior Islamics that send out their most marginal agents with a harebrained scheme that would never work, but didn't need to. The terror results have been achieved. "
............................................

yep .. a foiled pommie plot involving world domination = increased security over the whole world. ... so what else is new the last 400 years.:S. It was a European crusade regime change mentality from the dark ages that started this whole middle eastern thing after all...

The capitalist world is looking pretty fascisto lately in its reactionary stance. Ooh a terrorist plot ... lets make the world a police state......DUR.:S>:(:(.

As capitalists perhaps it would be better to see the increased chance of making a dollar and having a laugh rather than getting all het up about a set of liquid bombs that didn't go off or even get made.

Next after banning liquids on aircraft...???? well you CAN make explosives into fabrics and plastic type objects of all descriptions....exploding sunglasses any-one???

So we can't take on hand luggage - here's an opportunity for capitalism to provide travelling kits at destinations providing all the little things in carry-on laggage.
We could take traveling light to its logical conclusion which is carry NO luggage at all.
If we could easily get everything we want at the destination , pre-ordered or otherwise , then it's almost problem solved.;)
