Once again, the Bush regime has used the "terror threat" for political gains. Yesterday, Bush and his cronies claimed that Al-Qaeda was about to strike the US. Strangely, Bush and his people indicate that this so-called new threat from Al-Qaeda does not require an elevation of the now familiar color scam supposedly used to indicate the seriousness of a terror threat. What this clearly means is that Bush was attempting to divert attention from the huge positive response of Americans to the Kerry/Edwards ticket; it is an American 419 by a US President and his "Homeland Security" henchmen. The only foreigners that would buy into this sort of garbage are the Christian Alhajis and Abu Ghraib apologists who will do anything for a green card.

I thought they said we are winning against the terrorist; how come Ridge concurred that they still have the capability to succeed in carrying out terror act against us??

Well, that's what they told us. That we are winning the war on terrorism.
Anyway, American military just like any other, is designed to fight a standing army and not a guerilla warfare. Israel, with all its military might has not been able to silence the people they call terrorists.
So, the only way to fight terrorism is just simple changes in policy that will stop injustice and oppression.
For example, the world court has ruled that the Israeli wallls are illegal and should be torn down. So, what happens if Israel refuses to abide by this ruling? Then, the oppressed will resort to the weapon of the weak which is terrorism.
Hear the big super power on the issue: The world court has no jurisdiction as the conflict between Israel and Palestine is not a legal issue but a political one.
Okay, was the conflict between Nigeria and Cameroon a legal issue, a political issue or an ECONOMIC issue? I do not have expertise in law but I do not think that it is a legal issue. So, one can argue that the World Court has no jurisdiction. Tell that to the United States.

quote ------------------------------------------- The world court has ruled that the Isreali wall are illegal and should be torn down --------------------------------------------- The Isreali foreign minister called this ruling a ruling that will go into the gabage of history and that it was an arrant nonsense. This is what was expected of the clueless leaders of Biafra/Nigeria when the world court handed down their ruling on Bakassi. Instead they abandoned the Biafran citizens in Bakassi to a very dangerous situation. What a country.

he same UN took a look at the ethnic cleansing going on in Darfur and under Arab pressure claimed that it does not qualify as genocide. The wall will stay untill people begin to understand that terrorists will not achieve anything by killing innocent people.

What Bush & co are doing as the Kerry campaign picks momemtum is what is called VOODOO POLITICS in political phyilosophy. It is a tactic whereby you apply every means, including scare tactis to make people run away from your opponent for fear that he/she is either weak, bad or will not protect them enough. It is also called "kick-the-foot-if-you miss-the-ball' rule in backstreet footballing.
It is now dawning on Bush and his advisers that the only way they can win a second term is only when they put the already scared American public on edge; and there's no way to do this than through Ridge's Home Security outfit, whose job since it came to be has been to give "imminent threat warning" without giving specifics like WHO (individual/s) is planning the attack, WHERE théy are coming from or planning it from, and most importantly, HOW and WHAT shape the attack will take and WHEN will it be carried out. As I watched Ridge's press conference and saw one of the journalist ask him after his debriefing to "please give us details." To which Mr. Ridge aswered, "there's no specifics but its just a general threat," it was then that I knew that the American public are being taken for another ride by this Bush surrogate.
It is evident that now that Bush has been pushed to the corner, he is as expected resorting to using his EXECUTIVE PRIVILEGE to intimidate his opponent and in the process force the American people to vote for him come November.
Is it by accident that this "Al Qeada threat" was released just a day before the Senate Intelligence Committee report released today that says that Bush "MISLED" the American people to war in Iraq and that the "intelligence" that there was WMD in Iraq that made most Senators, including Senator John Kerry vote for war was "FLAWED."
Another election winning trick I think the Bush camp is employing as the election date gets closer is this sudden trial of Kenneth Lay, the CEO of the now bankrupt ENRON and that of the Rigas family. The question on the lips of most economic and political commentaors is why now? Why did it take the Bush administration this long to bring people to justice for crimes they committed since late 2001? Why this question comes up is because Kenneth Lay is known to be a very close friend of the Bush family. Infact Mr. Lay contributed millions to Bush's campaign fund in 2000. So the Bush camp must have figured out that any indictment made against his former friend at this jucture will be seen by the public as a sign that he is fighting finacial crime. Remember that ordinary Americans lost their pension investment and jobs in these crashes, hence, by bringing these high-profile figures to court AT THIS TIME, the message the Bushes are sending to those concrened (I maen those who lost their money in the concerned companies) will be that the Bush administration is now anti-big business. We can recall that being a hostage to big business interests is one of the crimes Bush is guilty of and which the Kerry camp will surely use against him during the campaign.
In summation, the fact that Bush is still telling the American people that there is an "imminent threat" after claiming just a year ago that Saddam and his Iraq was the "base" of terrorists and removing him will make the America/world "safe" shows that as WRONG as Bush's intelligence source was then, so it is now and will remain SUSPECIOUS as long as Bush and his croonies are in charge.
Me think it will be foolish if not sucidal if the American voters re-elect a man like Bush who led them into a WRONG WAR that has so far costed their country 1000 men and women in uniform and over 10,000 Iraqi lives.

Not to worry American people will not re-elect that liar Bush Jr. They(Bush) will do anything to get a second term but trust me it will not work.
You know the American media is in bed with Bush and his Administration, so the news are a little distorted. But I do kind in a way because there will be a sense of urgency on Democrats and Independents to get off their behind and go vote.
We on the ground have a better view of the pulse of the American people. However, any news that keeps it close in the media will only work to Kerry's advantage.
I still say this election is not going to be close, Kerry will win it in a landslide.

I think Daud has a point. Today, Bush raised the the so-called "terror alert" once again. The timing of this one, so close to the Democratic Convention is very suspicious.

Ayodele The people you think have a point on this issue, don't have any point they are bunch of Islamic/terrorist apologist. They are using the goodness of this forum to glorify terrorist and members of the the satanic moslems.
It may be time for you to take an anger management class. Why must you always insult people to make your point?

LANRE Take deep a breath, there is nothing insulting about my post. The problem is that you guys don't want to hear the truth. Unfortunately some of you who support the babaric behavoir of muslims around the world will continue to react negetively to the truth.

John Kerry must have had Bush and his fellow alarmists in mind when he made the above comment. The fact that Bush hopes to win an election that he should normally win based on how many Americans he gets a job, or are made to keep that which they already have, but is instead hoping to win based entirely on often abused "security intelligence" shows that Bush was not suppose to be an American leader in the first place. Somebody should tell the Bushes that what makes a truly GREAT leader(s) is not that they play(ed) the fear card, rather, it is because they made those they led/lead overcome the need for that fear in the first instance.
Those of you who are old enough can remember when the white racists in the U.S. also played the race FEAR card by telling the majority Caucasian American population that intergrating blacks into America's social and political life will "pollute" the system! Like in all cases, it took the intervention of those who grew over fears to make those narrow-minded whites to rethink their then equally "popular" (among the majority white population) position. So as in this Bush "terror" fear game, those who are now being mischieviously described as "liberals" may likely become the winners when the chips are down. this will come when they (the 'liberals') continously remind the larger American public as the Obama guy did that, AMERICA CAN AND SHOULD DO BETTER WITHOUT BUSH AND HIS TERROR GAMBIT. It is this messsage of HOPE OVER HOPELESSNESS that the Kerry people must insist on, no matter if they lose or win the election at the end of the day.
If I may ask the Bush forever campaigners: where were those terrorists before Bush came into office? And where will they go after Bush is gone? I ask this question because the lame argument that Bush and Bush alone can guaranty America's safety is childish to say the least. It is like the NONSENSICAL argument Abacha and his supporters (not comparing Bush to Abacha) also used to justify Abacha's self-succesion bid. Their argument then was that it was ONLY the person of Abacha that will safeguard Nigeria's "sovereignty". Has Nigeria as a state disappeared after Abacha's sudden demise?
FOOD FOR THOUGHT.
Bababoyz: I didn't see any insult in Chima's mail. He surely see things differently from the viewpoint of the Dauds. I also disagree with his argument that everyone that thinks Bush is playing the fear card is directly or subtly supporting terror(ists).
Njoku: I think my position as to why I think the way I do of Bush and his tactics is very well articulated and clear for everyone on this board to understand where I (Nwa Aro) is coming from.
