ABC Evening News not buying the "terror warnings"
Edited on Thu Jul-08-04 05:38 PM by Lex
.
Ted Koppel sitting in for Peter Jennings . . . he couldn't have been more sarcastic about the new "terror warnings."

Said pointedly the warnings were 'non-specific.'

And, after showing footage of what Ridge said, gave equal time to footage of critics who pointed out how ridiculous their constant non-specific threats are.


(Some news people have probably seen F 9/11 and now finally understand we are being jerked around.)

3. Whoa!
We need a new Administration in the White House if for no other reason that it looks like no one believes the current Administration at all. Nor should they.

They've cried wolf too much. That is sad because what if they really need to warn us of something? No one listens to those liars anymore. Scary situation.

Once again, we are LESS safe because of this lying Administration.

7. Maybe the Kool-Aid supply is running low?
Maybe the sheeple are finally beginning to get what we've known all a long: This administration cannot be trusted.
