Terror Plot Eye Candy?

Get a clue!

Had it with the Terror PlotEye Candy? A whole bunch of wall-to-wall news coverage designed to 1)scare the bejeezus out of everyone; 2) make us glad that we're safe because everyone's working so hard on our behalf to "secure the homeland" as GWB puts it. Get outta here.

Question: Do you feel more secure knowing that TSA wasn't informed about the happenings in the UK until about 15 Min before it all came down? Do you also feel more secure knowing that the current TSA employees receive no behavorial training, and barely pass the security tests - in fact the test score levels had to be lowered 50% to help them pass?

And what's with Shotgun Cheney - who obviously knew about the London 'takedown' - equating Ned Lamont to a vote for Al Qaeda? Whether or not you want to vote for a Dem, what a slime bucket. We have NO love for any of the idiot NeoConArtists, as our readers know.

BTW, you do want to read Sy Hersh's piece in the New Yorker to learn more about our next failed war adventure. And don't forget, we've been saying this for awhile, stay tuned for a possible draft of 18-42 year-olds. Who else do you think is going to do the fighting? The air campaigns don't work like they used to.

"Even those who continue to support Israel’s war against Hezbollah agree that it is failing to achieve one of its main goals—to rally the Lebanese against Hezbollah. “Strategic bombing has been a failed military concept for ninety years, and yet air forces all over the world keep on doing it,” John Arquilla, a defense analyst at the Naval Postgraduate School, told me. Arquilla has been campaigning for more than a decade, with growing success, to change the way America fights terrorism. “The warfare of today is not mass on mass,” he said. “You have to hunt like a network to defeat a network. Israel focussed on bombing against Hezbollah, and, when that did not work, it became more aggressive on the ground. The definition of insanity is continuing to do the same thing and expecting a different result.”
