Ridge: 'Chatter same level as 911' Admission that they ignored it?

[Patriot_Spear]

If there is so much chatter that they have to raise the terror alert because of it- why didn't Bush* and his henchmen do ANYTHING about it the first time?

I believe this statement is going to come back to haunt Tom ...

[spychoactive]

1. i thought the EXACT same thing!

what 'chatter'??? the chatter, they IGNORED and/or disregarded???

man o man these goons burn me up...

as an avid conspiracy theory follower this kinda thing is right up my alley...

it is not a stretch of the imagination that this administration would blow something up to justfy that sham of a cabinet position...oooh we can't have an administration change we're in grave danger...ooooh!

grrr...

[Patriot_Spear]

3. Well let's follow it logically...

I'm paraphrasing-

Ridge: 'This is the same kind of chatter we saw before 911'.

Spectator: 'You heard chatter of this calibre before 911 and didn't do anything about it? Yet now you put the whole nation on alert for the equivilant level?'

Ridge: 'Howard Dean is too Angry!'

2. They didn't do anything because

they thought they would just be "traditional hijackings".

4. Right- Who ever heard of someone using an airplane as a missile?

KAMIKAZE! ...gesundheit.

[spychoactive]

7. who was it that said that??

i recall some quote along the lines of: "prior to this we never thought of using an airplane as a missile"

who was thinking about ways to blow things up???

"there's something rotten in denmark"

8. Condi said it.

And, of course, she was lying.

9. Condi Rice...

The CIA report delivered to Bush* August was entitled 'Al Quidea determined to Strike Inside US'.

[spychoactive]

11. ahh yes, condi rice...

a pillar of truth, a beacon of hope...

this administration is starting to give me hives...

primary in-fighting aside, we need to gather together when we have our candidate and change things...this is more evident to me as each day passes...

[nostamj]

10. maybe they did think that

maybe the contract with the Saudis called for 'traditional hijackings' which BRAVE COMMANDER BUSH would thwart, protecting the Murrikans...

maybe, somebody got played big time...

happy holidays from the anti-christ

14. Scary Cheney

Sort of a tangent, but this is from your link:

Cheney called Democratic criticism "deeply disturbing" and warned foes to tread lightly. "They need to be very cautious and not seek political advantage by making incendiary comments," he said in a speech to New York conservatives.

Goon. That's what comes to mind when I read this Cheney quote. And Thug.

5. Goody, this is too good to be gtrue

so when are we having a revolt here, or a color code?

[slor]

12. When did he say this...

I want a copy of this!

[desi]

13. He was reading his latest scare America tactic.

I heard him say "almost two years ago"...when speaking of the attacks :shrug:

[Nashyra]

16. Traditional Hijackings

those would have been "OK". They say that the FAA and airlines had been briefed or warned. Bull F)(*&^% Shit. The airlines nor the crews were warned about squat. My husband and I are both with American Airlines and there was NOTHING. My husband is a Captain who flys International on the Airbus 300 which flys primairly overseas to Europe and the Carribean and they were told NOTHING. So if they say they were warned about threats about overseas why were the airlines not told to at least warn there overseas operations. This is BullShit!!!!! Sorry about the profanity. I work as a Flight Attendant in the international operation, we are both based in of all places New York, we heard not a peep. Even though I was on a leave I recieve company e-mail daily and there was (guess) NOTHING.

[Old and In the Way]

18. Someone knew.

Because they were shorting AA and UA stock weeks before 9/11. The FBI just recently shut down the investigation with no answers as to who made the trades....wonder why?

[Catshrink]

15. They assumed it was just Clinton's penis again.

Isn't that what they do? Blame it all on Clinton's penis?

17. Ground control to Major Tom

Turn your scare tactics on...
