Disjointed rambling thoughts....

from being too wound up to sleep and way too tired from the run-up to election

Is * going to announce an anticipated decrease of violence in Iraq. He told us the violence was aimed at altering the elections. Over now.

Speaking of, why is it that terrorists decided to become so involved in American Politics. I don't ever recall a time before 2002 where we were informed that the taped messages and actions of terrorists were driven to influence elections?

Speaking of, why wasn't the largest terror attack against America timed to impact an election/politics. Hell, all that long term planning and executed outside of an election cycle?

Why was A&E airing a * puff piece "George W Bush" on election eve?


Congratulations and Thank you to DU!

1. The only terrorist threat that I know to have affected elections was Bush's...

Orange Alert in the New York/New Jersey area when Kerry's convention speech was starting to starting to resonate. Bush Admin: "Orange Alert! Oh my God, here's some three year old intelligence on a terrorist plot! We'll protect you!"

What outcome would a terrorist organization want in American politics, anyway? It must dampen their recruitment efforts when American rhetoric switches from spreading Christianity ("Freedom") throughout the world to making health care affordable to waitresses in Boise.
