DEAL.......OR NO DEAL??
It's interesting to see in the midst of recent MAJOR FEAR MONGERING by the Republicans, that when info comes out confirming that we are, in deed, less safe as a result of our presence in Iraq (let's face it - every freakin nut within a 1000 mile radius couldnt wait to get their gun sights set on a REAL American, and consequently barreled into Iraq), now all of a sudden according to National Intelligence Director John Negroponte - "We are better prepared...We are safer.'' Sounds like they're talking out of both sides of their Grand Old Portals.
So if you noticed that at the same time that we were being reminded, and reminded often during the weeks preceeding and following the 5th anniversary of 9/11, that there is a growing threat of terror (as well as an actual recent "red alert"), we are almost simultaneously led to believe we are really, in fact, safer.
C'mon guys, get your act together! Are we hunky dory or doomed?
Red alert, Green alert, what's it gonna be? I guess it's like this: "there's definitely a threat, but let's just not finger the Boss"
I remember in the 50's when they had little kids do the "duck and cover" drill - like ducking under a desk was gonna save your ass from the Atom Bomb! HA Hell I was digging a hole to make a bomb shelter out in the back yard when I was 5 or 6 years old. Fear was a powerful motivator. And it still works.
And today I heard some Bush Qwakkin about the "political" use of classified info (namely above) by the Dems. but he forgot to mention the use of his own OVER-classification of info in order to keep the truth out of the hands and ears and eyes of the public - a blatant use of bully pulpit partisanism.
