Once again, we see terror levels raised for the first time since the last election. If the past can be any indicator, terror threats will be at an ALL TIME HIGH until the day after the next American election.
I am not saying the Brits are making the situation up, I am saying Bushco is once again using fear as a tool, like he always has, to gain political power. Remember, these are terrorist arrests, not attacks. No one died. But yet, America' terror threat level has been set to SEVERE.
But the killer here is the fact that Bush KNEW about the plot on Saturday. Why wait until the terrorists are in CUSTODY to raise the terror level? One would think that you would raise the alert if the terrorists were on the loose.
More after the flip...
From
The Daily Telegraph..
Mr Snow said Mr Bush first learned in detail about the plot on Saturday, and received two detailed briefings on it on Sunday and Monday, as well as had two conversations about it with British Prime Minister Tony Blair.
But a senior White House official said that the British government had not launched its raid until well after Mr Cheney held a highly unusual conference call with reporters to attack the Democrats as weak against terrorism.
An aide to Senator Lieberman, who would have been one of the first Democrats to hear of the plot because he is the top Democrat on the Senate Homeland Security Committee, said the lawmaker first heard of it on Thursday.
Now it all makes sense...
