Bush Plays The Terror Card Yet Again

When in the world are people going to start seeing this man for the lying imbecile that he is? In a speech given today to the National Guard Association in Washington, he conveniently revealed that all this NSA spying is really a good thing - in fact it even managed to thwart a supposed attack on the tallest building on the West Coast. The Washington Post reports that in the speech Bush said Osama bin Laden's al Qaeda terrorist network planned to follow up its Sept. 11, 2001, attacks on New York and the Pentagon by sending young men from Southeast Asia to hijack a plane using shoe bombs to break into the cockpit. He said the plot called for the hijackers to then fly the plane into the tallest building on the West Coast, a 73-story structure in Los Angeles now known as US Bank Tower. This attack was supposedly thwarted in early 2002 when a "key al Qaeda operative" was arrested by a Southeast Asian nation. Come on people get real. Do you think for one minute that if this were true they would have waited until now to announce it? Hell they would have rammed this down the throat of every anti-war activist BEFORE they invaded Iraq in March of '03. This was talked about now only because (1) he needs to justify his illegal spying, and (2) set the stage for more fear in the lead-up to the bombing of Iran. Go ahead and accuse me of wearing my tin-foil hat if you will, but I also believe that all this unrest over the release of cartoon images of the Prophet Muhammad is a neocon operation designed to cause unrest in the EU in order to bring them around to supporting the coming war on Iran. Don't forget the original cartoon was published back in September of '05. You mean to tell me that the Muslim community just all of a sudden decided to start protesting almost half a year later? And don't your find it just a little strange that there was such an ample supply of the Danish flag available for them to burn in front of a compliant media to film? And where are the most damaging protests? Well just by coincidence of course it was the embassies in Syria and Iran that were trashed and burned. Then there is also the NO small matter of the inauguration of the Iranian Oil Exchange in March where they will introduce the Iranian sale of it's oil in euro currency denomination. Hmmm isn't this what Saddam did? Sell oil for euros in an attempt to undermine the US-centric world banking system? In my opinion you can look forward to more and more fear talk from the neocons in King George's court, to justify an attack on Iran sometime in March. Then you can expect a terror alert or two thrown in for good measure. After all there IS an election coming, and Rove has already stated the are going to run on the terrorism issue.
