Terra, terra, terra!
I guess we can expect more of these "terra plots" to be foiled over the next year. The GOP knows they have nothing to stand on - they've been soundly rejected by the public. The only card they have left to play is fear and paranoia. What better way than to announce that they've foiled some nefarious plot here and there? We have no way to know how serious this plan against Ft. Dix was, whether it was just a bunch of guys talking shit or not. Hell, the way this admin has repeatedly lied to us, I can never believe anything they tell us.

Whatever happened to those kids they arrested in Miami? The ones who supposedly were planning some horrific terrorist attacks? Can't help but notice that we haven't heard much about that lately. Now we're supposed to believe that not only were these guys in Jersey going to mount some sort of "Rambo" attack against a military base, but they were also going to conduct other terrorist attacks as well?

I'm sorry, but I'm not buying ANY of this shit.

2. It does feel like a trial balloon, doesn't it?
:shrug:

4. Me neither, it's all too fucking convenient.
My hope is that most people are sick of the terra card. The GOP is Code Blue.

5. Hey
Our president is protecting this country, damnit. And if you don't realize that, then we'll remind you every month or so with some ridiculous, er, serious foiling of a "terror" plot.

Sad thing is that so many people eat that shit up :freak:

6.  I'll bet that "so many people eat that shit up" because
it makes their dull, consumer-driven, empty lives more interesting. Occasional terror alerts make them feel like they're in a "24" episode. They're probably just waiting for a glimpse of the great Jack Bauer. ;-)

7. I have not bought any of the bull shit on terra since 2002
Once I realized they were using this to their political gain. I knew they were evil, but the extent of their corruption can't be measured and they think it will still work for them, keeping America in a constant state of fear.

8. Yeah, they were going to conduct other terrorist attacks as well.
Right after they got their asses shot off on their suicide raid on Ft. Dix.

:sarcasm:

9. That was exactly what I thought
Wouldn't matter which they did first - attack Ft. Dix, or attack Navy ships docked in Philly. How exactly were these guys supposed to survive either attack to carry on their other ones?

This whole thing is one giant stack of cards that the M$M really has no interest in investigating.

10. Whoa how did these guys get that target in the draw?
I mean day-a-a-am, not some easy target like a shopping mall, park, nuclear plant..but a friggin military base? How the hell were they going to infiltrate a military base armed to the teeth? (If access to our bases is that easy....but that is another topic.)


doesn't pass the smell test. Sorry, There are more valuable targets for Terrorists to hit that would do what the act is designed to do...TERRORIZE. Not buying this either.
