Bush: re NYC TERRA ALERT:"Our job is to gather information and PASS IT ON"

[opihimoimoi]

When the change occur???

Cause...in 2001...He had Info Osama was coming to attack...and he ignored it.....a CLEAR AND PRESENT DANGER warning...much more severe than this NYC BS...and he did nothing...no phone calls, no instructions...just like Katrina for 4 days...silence of the lambs.. nothing....

He is so full of it

[rodeodance]

1. full of himself is more the case.

....
He is so full of it

[SledDriver]

6. Full of Jim Beam and cocaine more likely. n/t

[opihimoimoi]

8. Some recent pics suggest suspicion is warranted....he does look loaded

most of the time....

Speaks like he's loaded too.

and FALLS like he's loaded too...Fall proof Segway? Gimme a break.

2. In other words, you're on your own, suckers!!!

We'll take your federal taxes, but we won't give you shit back for them!

3. Katrina let the cat out of the bag. Domestic security drowned in the tub

many years back. The best the Feds can do is scream TERRA, TERRA, TERRA.

Btw today in the train station a terrorist attack was foiled. Just so you keep the right score.

5. The soda can was GREEN RIVER...or sumpthin like it....harmless

67 guys in BIO SUITS looking at a soda can filled with soda....

9. I know, like I said score that as a terrorist attack thwarted

because HSA and the chimps speech writers will.

4. Well, in all fairness

I watched some of the coverage on ABC News last night. Based on what information was available, and the probabilities/possibilities, I thought that what happened (stepped up police presence, more searches of backpacks and briefcases, public announcements to alert people), I thought the response was measured and reasonable.

From what I could tell, there wasn't a lot of scare-mongering, nobody seemed to be in panic mode, there was maybe a saturation of coverage, but this was after all NYC, which is the media hub for the nation, as well as a prior target, so that wasn't unexpected.

I don't know how much credit the Bush administration deserves for the announcement and response yesterday, but it seems that our society has grown up a little and can handle itself better nowadays. In the past, even a rumor of some gossip put a lot of people who should know better into an overreactive tizzy.

7. My point was his explanation of Fed Involvement..almost zero...

compared with local response.

HLS didn't think it credible enough to saddle up.

So Bush is out there this AM explaining;;;"It our job to pass on the info...."

So...how come this was not done in AUG 2001, one month before 9/11?
**************************************************************
ONE LOUSY PHONE CALL...for the Lack of ONE lousy Phone Call.....
*************************************************************
There would not have been a 9/11
We would not be at war
5,000 peeps still be alive

22,378 peeps still be whole

312,870 Iraqis still be alive and/or whole

$658,342,572,998.09 would not have been spent and would be available for recovery efforts/rebuilding infrastructure/health programs, research, advancement, etc

756,443,109,534.878 Gal of Deisel/gas would have been wasted.

etc etc

Bush fucked it up by not making a call to the FAA and alerting them of OSAMA...no alerts to anyone, not the cia, fbi, fema, no one....

[gratuitous]

10. Oh, well, I'll accept your point, no problem

This corrupt administration never budges unless there's a buck to be made or a political point to be scored.

But I thought NYC handled itself very well yesterday, and that was more in spite of than because of any administration doings.

[opihimoimoi]

11. Yes, I agree , the NYC , in the damned if you do, and vice versa mode

had no choice but to play it safe... to their credit...

I only wish the president had done the same in 2001.

We need Leaders who already know what to do...not learn on the job..

[No Exit]

12. "Our job is to make up shit and pass the buck when

our idiotic fearmongering blows up in our faces!"

[opihimoimoi]

13. To Fool is to RULE...goes back to the earliest days of Mankind

and still exists today...only worse...ya would think we COULD/SHOULD/
WOULD...LEARN

WHY is that??

Where are the Solutions?

[No Exit]

14. The old (knowing) ones die off and a whole new crop

od young, inexperienced livestock--I mean, people--come to take their places.

[opihimoimoi]

15. with too much ARROGANCE I might add....

[texpatriot2004]

16. He doesn't know what his job is b/c it's not really his job he's

just pretending...he's the thief in chief.

[opihimoimoi]

17. I love it::: The Thief in Chief.....who don't know shit except to BS

the Base...who now feels cheated and are PISSED at him....some wishing they had voted for Kerry even....

[texpatriot2004]

18. Lots of buyers remorse.n/t
