So...NBC News Says Chertoff's Little "Gut Feeling" Is Because He Feels Terrorists Like the Summer...
as a good time to strike. This as reported by NBC Nightly News w/Brian Williams.

:wtf:

Why in hell would a public official come out and panic the public with a "gut feeling" not based on solid intelligence? What gives? Has Chertoff become some sort of soothsayer now? I always thought he looked a bit like Gandolf...er...

p.s. If I remember correctly 9/11 wasn't the middle of summer anyway, duh.

2. Somebody convinced him to ditch the beard so he looks less like
SKELETOR.

Next thing you know, he'll be recommending we all go buy duct tape ... The Cole wasn't struck in the summer (wasn't it in November/December?). I tuned out these jokers long ago.

3. Yes it was the fall. That's why the terrorists weren't wearing linen or white.

4. They want to make people afraid.
They will allow a terrorist attack if it makes people afraid.
They can't admit that they know in advance that they know if one is being planned.
They can't admit that they're searching for ways to cook up fake terrorists to arrest and hype.

It all adds up. x(

5. It's called talking out of your a@s
His comments should only have been made if there was solid intelligence out there that al Qaeda was planning some sort of attack.

To just make those comments because of your own personal view that the terrorists like the summer, is just inapprorpriate for a government official (and a cabinent member, no less)!

8. Maybe the Regime is counting on another LIHOP.
This Criminal Regime would love to impose Marshal Law on Amerika. All rumblings of Bush/Cheney Impeachments would cease.

6. Oh well, it's not like we thought they would fly planes into buildings.
These types of people want blood on our shores, who lust for death and destruction to innocent people just so the Chimp's ratings can go up again by showing everyone how manly and patriotic he is. Guess we didn't fight them over there, so now they'll come here.

9. O.K. skeletor,
Does the Pesident no longer say to people like you "you've covered your ass," and we are left to believe you on your intuition?

I intuit an impeachment process, do these two have any correlation? hmmmm. By removing Bush the enabler it is somehow exposing

the layers of enemies that need his cover. We don't have a president, we have a Mafia boss.

10. I saw that, because I had tuned in to see Keith Olbermann's piece on Barry Bonds
and I thought "Hah, what we really need to see is KO's 'The Nexus of Politics and Terror'!"

Too bad there wasn't enough time!

11. Beach baby, beach baby give me your hand
Beach baby, Beach Baby give me your hand
Give me somethin' that I can remember
Just like before we can walk by the shore in the moonlight
Beach baby, Beach baby there on the sand
From July 'till the end of September
Surfin' was fun, we'd be out in the sun every day

Mmmm, I never thought that it would end
Oooooh oooooh, mmmm, and I was everybody's friend Ooooh ooooh
Long hot days
Cool Sea haze
Juke box plays
But now it's fading awaaaaay



Aaahhh, aaahhh, aaahhh, aaahhh, aaahhh, aaahhh, aaahhh
Aaahhh, aaahhh, aaahhh, aaahhh, aaahhh, aaahhh, aaahhh

12. I suspect the reason Chertoff said this is because...
his name is on the DC Madame's list too. Nobody would have relations with him for free!

20. I couldn't believe they actually opened the news with that nonsense. The terrorists
may or may not be here and this is all based on someone's gut feeling. Pathetic.
