Was the New Jersey terror cell another overblown Bushism?

Question

Bush has had to suffer criticism before for breaking up so called terror plots. Remember the list of the top 10 terror plots the government broke up? Well, how many of the so called terrorists were actually tried for terrorism charges? It turns out none. Some have been tried, and even convicted, but all on lesser charges unrelated to terrorism. Is this another one of those plots, cooked up to instill more fear in the American public and divert our attention from Iraq?

hey not gh3y,

If tomorrow our military killed Osama, i would buy a 12 pack of beer, and toast our military all night! You are the one being childish, and i fully support a war on terror. However unlike you, i do see through propaganda sometimes.

Answer 1

Most if not all of these cells have government informants or patsies and we usually find out later that these people have no weapons and are mentally retarded.

Answer 2

Much as i'd like to throw a banana at the chimp, I'd have to say no. But he can't take any credit for it either, and he shouldn't use this for his own propaganda purposes.

This is a real event. The video store clerk should get all the credit, the rest was just routine police work.

It is significant that this group had no ties to al Queda, other than that they watched jihadist media (where does one go to rent that? Can you get it from Netflix?)

Answer 3

It could be the other way around, it could have been downplayed. Consider that this potential attack, officially, was not Al Qaeda related. If it had been, then GWB's rhetoric about fighting in Iraq to keep them from coming here would be completely shot down. So it would be in GWB's best interest that this was an arbitrary event.

Answer 4

I bypass over Bush. What you spoke of replaced into what you acquire. He replaced appropriate right into a patriot and located our u . s .'s shelter practices first and that i visit continuously savour him for that. all persons comprehend he replaced appropriate right into a sufferer of the occasional malapropism and adjusted into no longer truly sturdy with tenses in spite of the shown actuality that, if those have been his techniques-blowing faults and if that's what you elect to snigger at him for, then achieve this. Our u . s . faces lots better effective themes cut back than the present administration and to objective and chronicle the misspeaks and a million/2 truths might desire to require better room than is authorised in this communicate board.

Answer 5

Boy, you just don't get it, do you?

If tomorrow Army Special Forces produced the decapitated head of Osama Bin Laden, you'd fold your arms and scoff because it goes against every fiber in your being to give any credit to President Bush.

Blinded by such infantile, irrational rage, you are ineffective. But don't worry, the responsible Americans will continue to fight for your freedoms and well-being.

Answer 6

Oh give it a rest... take it for what it is. A bad attack was going to happen and Bush (along with the help of many others) stopped it.

You would have something to say if the attack did happen, then it would be because Bush did nothing.

Answer 7

Sure that is what the lib want people to believe. Kind of reminds people about the lame Clinton years, you know ignore the real threat

Answer 8

yes. and your follow-up is on target...Alan (above) brings up an interesting sideline.

Answer 9

Would our government do that?

Answer 10

Would you think it was overblown if they had succeeded? OMG Bush can't win it damn if he does and damn if he doesn't.
