Bush warns of 'tragedy' if US is weak in war on terror

Sep 10, 6:52 PM ET



HUNTINGTON, United States (AFP) - President George W. Bush (news - web sites) warned on the eve of the anniversary of the September 11 strikes that the world would face new tragedy if the United States shows weakness in the war on terrorism.

Bush used the third anniversary of the Al-Qaeda attacks on New York and Washington to highlight his security credentials in the campaign for the November 2 presidential election.
"I believe the most solemn duty of the American president is to protect the American people," he told a rally in Huntington, West Virginia.
"If America shows uncertainty and weakness in this decade, the world will drift toward tragedy. This isn't going to happen on my watch," he said in a refrain that has become a popular part of his campaign speech.

<snip>
As Bush took to the podium the cheers turned to a roar. "By the sound of things, it sounds like the herd is thundering," Bush quipped, basking in the warmth of the crowd's welcome.

------------

yeah, awol. the herd is thundering because you have them herded into "free speech zones"... mr. cowboy boots.

19. Sums it up.
Can we make that into a slogan? A bumper sticker? A T-shirt?

On the front: "IT ALREADY HAPPENED ON YOUR WATCH"

On the back: "YOU INCOMPETENT ASSHOLE"

There is no rock that they are not willing to crawl under.

3. Americans need to see the bush coward for what he is
The bush coward is a sick individual being misguided by voices from within that he believes are of God but in reality his own sick daemon, perhaps from all the drugs and alcohol abuse. The world is not safer with this borderline lunatic in control of the most powerful military in the world.

4. More unbranded advertising for arranged terrorism
Russian - Chechen Terror: Cui Bono? Who Benefits?

The Geopolitics of Caspian Oil

http://www.newsgateway.ca/Russian_Chechen_terror.htm

<German Minister of Technology (which included supervision of German intelligence - the BND), Andreas von Bülow:

"This tactic is called a “false flag operation” or a “false flag recruitment”, used by both the CIA and Mossad for purposes of propaganda. “Ninety-five percent of the work of the intelligence agencies around the world is deception and disinformation,” von Bülow said, which is widely propagated in the mainstream media creating an accepted version of events."

Chossudovsky: "Covert support by the US military and intelligence apparatus has been channelled to various Islamic terrorist organisations through a complex network of intermediaries and intelligence proxies. Moreover, numerous official statements, intelligence reports confirm recent links (in the post Cold War era) between US military-intelligence units and Al Qaida operatives, as occurred in Bosnia (mid 1990s), Kosovo (1998-99) and Macedonia (2001)."

There is evidence that connects the Philippine attack, the attack in Bali and the Madrid train bombings to western intelligence personnel.<snip>

To this list we might add 911 and the anthrax attacks.

11. Thanks for clearing something up for me:
Edited on Sat Sep-11-04 08:35 AM by shadu
"Allegations of involvement by the west, at least in some degree are even being made in Russia.
The fact that the Chechens are believed to use as a base the Pankisi gorge in neighbouring Georgia - a country which aspires to join Nato, has an extremely pro-American government, and where the US already has a significant military presence - only encourages such speculation. Putin himself even seemed to lend credence to the idea in his interview with foreign journalists on Monday."

The question remains, then: who was behind the latest hostage
crisis? Putin, as an excuse to engage Chechnya or Georgia?
Bush, as a way to destabilize Putin's control on the oil
rich region?

13. I don't believe that such a botched operation
...could be of any benefit to Putin.

IMHO such terrorism has no other objective except that consistent with previously articulated American policy goals which have aimed at the insability and disintegration of Russian power through encouragement and sponsorship of what I regard as "crackpot" independence movements, Islamic militancy, ethnic internecine warfare and terrorism.

YOU keep insisting you've MADE US SAFER.

So WHY do you keep TERRORIZING Americans? And WHY does your own State Department say YOU have made terrorism INCREASE on YOUR WATCH? And WHY did YOU go on HOLIDAYS when you were warned of al Qaeda plots?

You incompetant ignorant corrupt lying SOB.

6. anyone else starting to get the feeling they're threatening us?
Edited on Sat Sep-11-04 07:30 AM by ima_sinnic
the consequences of voting for Kerry can be made harsh when you're a global crime syndicate.

btw, "the herd is thundering"--?? nice analogy between your hypnotized followers and a herd of cattle, "Waste-product"!

15. All 3 of those points are spot on
Yes, they're threatening us.

Yes, they are an international crime family.

Yes, and twice a day even a broken clock is right: the gopers are a herd.

Second time in a week that this has been said. Coincidence? I think not.

Bush's "rallies" are really beginning to frighten me.

7. AWOL was WEAK on 9/11/01 and he's WEAK today
we were attacked because president dumbass did jackSHIT to protect us.

why the fuck weren't the military jets scrambled as per normal procedure?? it's not like there wasn't ample time? who told them to stand down??

AWOL was a nothing but a scared little boy on 9/11. he did NOT want to be president on that day and wanted someone else to make the decisions.

John Kerry will know what to do should we get attacked again. He will stand up and lead the way and do what it takes to protect us. Something AWOL was too much of a chickenshit to do on 9/11.

8. Your kind of weakness, George?
It would have been more logical for the terrorists to do 9/11 during the transition period between adminstrations figuring that the gov't would be in disarray and helpless to take any action. They passed on that most vulnerable time in favor of waiting until you, George, were firmly in control. It looks like you and the Dick didn't scare them. Al-Zawahiri didn't look too scared on TV the other day either.

12. His solemn duty is to protect America AND the Constitution, neither
of which he has done. Call him OUT Kerry. Don't pay attention to fake polls and a fake President. America wants a REAL leader who doesn't play dress up and doesn't play cover-up.

18. Terrorists Hit WTC 9/11 Because of the Bush Family "Texas Mafia"
and their ties to Saudi Royal family, other Middle East interests, and then playing the other side of the fence with their pandering to Israel.

I know this sounds wild, and some crazed post, BUT IT'S NOT!

Half our "Beat Bush" Republican Cartel is Houston-Dallas based
and we have some real "heavy weights" in our Cartel that helped Bush get elected in 2000, but now hate him. We raised a $1/4 Million in donations in one night for our "little Beat Bush project", without effort.
