Is anyone actually buying this bullshit?
Advertisements [?]
I'm sorry, I'm not buying it for one second. We've seen this countless times over the past several years. Everytime the GOP needs a boost, they trot out some "terror plot." Shopping malls, truck bombs, apartment bombs, blowing up the Lincoln Tunnel, they've come up with all sorts of scenarios to scare the bejeezus out of people.

Am I the only one who finds it highly coincidental this "plot" is revealed within a week of LIE-berman losing his primary, scaring the shit out of the GOP? With less than three months before the midterm elections, the GOP needs some sort of terror hysteria to scare the sheeple into supporting them. I wouldn't be surprised to hear about another "major plot" sometime in October. Not only that, but by trotting out these "plots" at routine intervals, they can use these to defend their continued assault on our civil liberties. I wouldn't be surprised if they eventually say that part of the info came from wiretapped phone conversations.

I find it odd that most of these stories share some of the same characteristics. They always involve some Arabic Muslim men - gotta keep those boogeymen alive, right? By making the latest bunch British naturals, it helps to justify Britain's assault on its Muslim population. I'm sure we'll start seeing reports of American 'sleeper cells' pretty soon. These "terrorists" almost always have travelled to Pakistan for bomb-making lessons - because we all know how difficult it is to learn this stuff at home. And there will -always- be a connection to Al Qaeda. Hell, it didn't take very long for this latest "plot" to be linked to Al Qaeda.

Of course, the M$M is just eating this shit up. They live for this stuff, giving them a chance to bring out the talking heads, and emphasize how we're all still in mortal danger. Hell, at this rate, by the time the midterms come around, most Americans will be begging Der Fuhrer to protect them.
