If ANY institution in America shouldn't be trusted it is the Main Street Media, followed by Congress! President Bush may not get it right all the time, but at least he is pro-actively defending 300 million US citizens, at least half of which are total idiots! God Bless the American Troops.

Why does anyone allow comments anymore? They might follow a thought-provoking article, yet when one reads the comments themselves, you can actually feel whatever knowledge you have about the subject reach the vapor point, then hear it whoosh as it's sucked from your head.

After reading all of the posts to this thread, I have the ultimate solution to our problems. We should arm all of our Nukes, fire the ICBMs straight up and allow them to rain down on our own cities. America has become too stupid to govern itself.

Fedups comments are more of a "Crackup." Why would Bush try to bolster his numbers. He's a lame duck whether you like him or not. I think that it's not a coincidence that we have had no attacks since 2001 (thanks to all of the hard work of the CIA, FBI, military, and even the President who is the Commander-in-Chief). The same cannot be said in Spain, England, Bali, etc. I think it's ashame that we have lost respect for the position of President (no matter the party).

That's okay...the 'Bush is hyping the press' folks will be the first to cry, " Why Me!" when some idiot blows up their bus. Of everyone, the libs are actually their biggest target. Think of what Islamic fundamentalists hate and it is everything liberal.

it's amazing.
for the past 3 years, the left takes every opportunity they can to thwart, obstruct, and hamper our nation's ability to defend itself

whether its attempting to shut down a terrorist prison in guatanamo, stop our ability to interrogate terrorists, kill programs designed to spy on terrorist communications ...etc etc...
those who hate the bush administration will stop at nothing in their attempt to pull it down. most shockingly they are putting our nation in danger.

this threat is real. the enemy is committed to killing our people, and is active in their planning.

and each time one of you posters obfuscates the threat by pointing to bush, or administration distrust or hatred, you are purposefully diminishing our ability to defend ourselves.

You are aiding and abetting the enemy

Shame on you

That's right Walt. That horrible media, which Bush planted in those vehicles when the war began, are reporting bogus things. I mean, at first, when they started reporting and it looked good for Bush they were great. But after a while, when they had the nerve to say things might not be all peachy? Well, they went bad. We're not having issues after all. It's all some bogus press thing.

My Dad always told me - "The popular thing isn't always right and the right thing isn't always popular." You go "W"!!

If this concern is actually real, the administration should just drop the vague "gut feeling" platitudes and go to Orange level alert.

IMO, these "warnings" originate from the real terrorists - factions close to, and part of the US security, military and intelligence apparatus. The media is complicit as well. Judging by the previous responses, people are beginning to overcome their naïveté in this regard. Our country has been hijacked by the military/industrial complex. al-Qaeada is a construct of the CIA and always has been.

I am so sick of IDIOTS saying how they dont believe that they think the announcement of a terror threat is legitimate because they think it is a plot by Bush to help his image. That is RIDICULOUS!! How in the heck does it help his image to say "Oh, well get ready for another attack"?! Answer: it does'nt. We as Americans should all be ticked off that we still even have to worry about terrorist!

Republicans do not own defense and the troops! Bush is ending their lives with his own narrow minded and self serving policies. Bring back the black dress and the competent cabinet members and sound decision making that came along with it. What an absurdly frightning time we live in. THING conservatives...if you liked Ronald Reagan would he have EVER borrowed money from COMMUNIST china to go after COMMUNIST russia? We are borrowing BILLIONS from china to go after a country that had significantly less terror camps before we went in than we do now.

We have not had an attack since 9/11/2001. I am frankly suprised by that. It tells me that the Patriot Act works and our intelligence system is working. Of course, when the first attack does occur, some of the idiots who are leaving comments on this site will blame America and President Bush instead of facing the reality that millions of people in the world wanted to kill us before the Iraq war, and they still do.

So we do nothing, blame Bush for doing something and then what.....?blame him again when we get hit?

I would like to see the people that are against all the fighting that we are doing now to protect us what their opinion would be with a large knife around their necks waiting for the pull that separates them from their body! Cant we just all get along? How much do they need to understand that this is not time out, this is serious!

As Bushco increasingly finds itself cornered like a wounded animal with GOP defections, sagging public support for the war, corruption charges and the lowest ratings for any presidency.inc since Richard Nixon's demise, I find it chilling that they are pulling out the FEAR CARD once again. This president and his co-conspirators have no respect for the rule of law and have referred to the constitution as a "godamned piece of paper." Beware the invocation of presidential powers to delay or void elections in this country. War with Iran or a terrorist strike on american soil (Gulf of Tonkin, anyone?) would set the ball in motion. Impeach Bush and Cheney now before it's too late.

Obviously a ploy by the democratic congress, not GWB.... Their approval ratings are nearing "single" digits with absolutely no 'positive' legislation on the horizon! An attack on the 'homeland', depending on its severity, would be this failed congress' bumper sticker of "bringing the military home to protect its OWN homeland". The failed democratic congress and the media will successfully convince the American people that once again GWB is the blame. An attack could get the democratic-controlled congress' approval ratings back in the 40's........

More Pre-Fabricated Fear…

Chertoff has a “gut feeling” about a terrorist attack this summer? You don’t suppose it could be from those illegal aliens he’s letting into the country unchecked? Or is it the new “ 911” false flag operation designed to give Bush an excuse to use that new executive order that lets him become a full blown dictator…

Why is easy to read these guys? Could be they have a vast track record of lies and con jobs?

It could be a long hot summer.

I agree with Dane Breitzig. His comment was true. Bush is on his way out and he does not really care about his ratings. The fact of the matter is that it has been almost 6 years since we were attacked and if there is one thing that the administration has done, it is keeping us safe. There have been many instances were plots were stopped were stopped. I do not agree with everything that Bush is doing but he has kept us safe. We need to keep in mind that the enemy we face does not wear a uniform and it is easier for them to operate when people distrust their government and want their President to fail just because of his party affiliation. We should all maintain a high state of vigilance and support our leaders and our soldiers. If , in our darkest hour, we do not, our country will fall. I love my country and everyone in it too much to see that happen.

United we stand, divided we fall.
