They characterized it as a newly and deadly threat, etc.

People just because we are in the election, we can't take our eyes off of the ball. They are ramping things up while we are distracted.

Bushco is also saying and doing things while the country isnt watching, like admitting to waterboarding; the attorney general saying he wouldn't investigate etc.

Pay attention out there and be ready to act! We are in a very dangerous time in our country's history.

1. It HAS already started. Anyone listening to the Morning Ho show would have
been treated to a nonstop tirade by Joe Scarbrough (who has been given a 3-hour show on MSNBC to spew his hate and fear) about how the dems will be weak on war/terror. He's evidently been given orders to back McCain fully and start ramping up the fearmongering.

2. As scott ritter said recently, Bush will strike Iran by either june or the fall
I went to a lecture given by him recently. He really believes that this is coming. Its about more than the election.

The ramping up of talk regarding the "dangers" of Iran seems to support his position.

when asked in the lecture about the lack of money to fund such an "adventure" he said, they'll just print more... our currency is already deflated and we are owned by china, et al.

scary.

3. I'd find a new car dealership. I don't patronize businesses that broadcast Nazi propoganda. n/t

5. I was rather stunned that they had it playing... first time I noticed that.
I was disgusted by it to be honest.

7. The Economist's recent issue has a picture of a bomb on the cover. "Has Iran Won?"
Cynical to note this, but thank goodness Hillary had the political prescience to understand what the mood of America would be up to and during the GE. She voted for Kyl/Lieberman, after the most inflammatory rhetoric was stripped from it.

Barack did not vote. McCain did not vote.

Who will look tough on terror in the eyes of mainstream America?

Let me add, AFAIC, it's all hooha. But then again, I'm not mainstream America. I'm not a soccer mom, and I'm not a NASCAR guy.
