"Together, we've killed or captured nearly all of those directly responsible for the September the 11th attacks." uh,you moron, they were in the airplanes when they blew up. I'd hardly say that was a direct result of Bush actions. Well, on second thought, maybe it was....
This also came at a time when the President claimed that we have thwarted ten serious terrorist threats...not that they have all been confirmed...and one was Jose Padilla....but I bet the others included things like thwarting PETA activists.

Don't you hate people who talk in the third person!!:)
Posted by iainc at October 7, 2005 10:03 AMIt looks like yesterday's 'Terrah' alert was bogus!
Posted by pessimist at October 7, 2005 10:14 AMAnd yet the color-coded terror alert wasn't raised.
Posted by ann at October 7, 2005 10:37 AMPentagon getting into the act too (with all their past dubious assertions and credibility never ever mentioned/questioned by reporters here..sigh...why can't we have a better media?). Yes The Pentagon gets letters from the terrorists.
Oh yes, something tells me we, with Karen Hughes at the helm, replacing the distracted and hopefully soon to be indicted Rove, have just started the new season of Return of the Terra President 24/7.
Posted by emal at October 7, 2005 11:00 AMI bet Bush thought things were going to break with Fitzgerald & needed a distraction. Oops, seems like Mr Fitz has seen this play before...
Monday morning would be ideal.
Newsday does a pretty good job reporting, but why oh why, do reporters and, I add, Democrats, TRUST these criminals?
Anybody see a basis for that trust?
The only thing I trust these criminals to do is lie and steal.
Posted by Duckman GR at October 7, 2005 11:50 AMCNN reporting that the Washngton Monument has been evacuated.
Probably just another soda bottle.
People are a bit edgy today.

Posted by pessimist at October 7, 2005 02:14 PManother "success story" was the capture of ayman ferris, who had planned to bring down the brooklyn bridge by using acid to dissolve the cables. a real threat, that one.
Posted by benjoya at October 7, 2005 07:22 PMHas anyone noticed that threats coming out of the WH Administration are hardly causing a ripple anymore? Bush cried wolf once to often.
Posted by Judith at October 7, 2005 08:49 PMBloomberg is running for re-election. That explains a lot, I suppose. Certainly explains those photo ops on the subway today. Come on, a credible terror threat and the mayor of NYC is out meeting the citizens?
