U.S. Intel Officer Warns US Losing War on Terror
Meanwhile in Washington, a senior U.S. intelligence official is preparing to publish a book anonymously that charges that the U.S. is losing the war against Al Qaeda and that the invasion in Iraq helped Osama Bin Laden. In the book titled Imperial Hubris the official warns bin Laden may attack the US before the November election to help ensure the re-election of President George Bush.

Um, where's the link to the story saying that the CIA agent has indicated Bush is actually planning a terrorist attack? Ashcroft has already raised the spectre of a summer/fall terrorist attack and this says no more than that.

Why is it that I can never find the story you talk about in your link to the democracynow homepage?

Ha. I hope they all get fired. I hope Bush gets impeached.

Then I'll believe it when I see it. The links I'm finding to the book do not exactly paint it's author as the most unbiased of sources, nor do they indicate that the author has access to more information than is common. Also, the idea that Bush who is now battling to illustrate just how well his War on Terror is going would "allow" another terrorist attack, which would completely destroy his power base, is ludicrous. He's basing his reelection in large part on the success of the War on Terror and his actions in Iraq, if another strike happened between now and election on US soil, he'd look like the incompetent he is and the American public would lose what little respect and faith they have in him. The absolute worst thing that could happen to Bush in this election year is another US soil strike by Al Qaeda.

So then from that one line, you extrapolated all that other stuff, because I still can't find the link for it.

Not if that leader stinks of fear and incompetence, which he will if there's another strike. In order to lead, one must at least appear strong. While the last four years have certainly tested my faith in the human nature of US citizens, I have a hard time believing that they will "rally" around a leader who has proved himself ineffectual and incompetent. It's been pointed out that Americans like things quick, they like things now. This is true, to an extent, and it's what will bring Bush down if there's another US terror attack.

Well you could look at it from this perspective. Another attack would allow Bush to declare a "state of emergency" thereby cancelling the election and effectively creating a temporary dictatorship.

Remember...Hitler turned Germany into a dictatorship after the Reichstag burned down. He declared it an act of terrorism.

Just a thought.

And I still remain as unconvinced of the viability of that doomsday scenario as I do of the threat of the Yellowstone supercaldera going off in my life time.

A state of emergency doesn't necessarily mean Martial Law hun. We were in a state of emergency during 9/11 and no Martial Law was declared though a State of Emergency was.

Yes, and the Emperor disbanded the Galactic Senate for the duration of the galactic state of emergency.

Just thought I'd use some Star Wars to send this topic clattering off the rails.

So, why is it that that Trojan guys thread get locked for trolling, but this one stays open....not going to say anything more except for the fact that I am just sayin' they seem similar.

Because this one, as hard as it may be to believe, somewhat resembles a coherent point designed to spark discussion. The other one was poor satire.

If I was, You would have been deleted by now for massive trolling. :)

you left wingers have crossed the line. Stop selectively listening to things to support perverted ideological rhetoric. The man is PRESIDENT and is WELL MEANING, RELIGIOUS, AND WORKING TO RID THE WORLD OF TERRORISTS. no man in the history of the world has KILLED more terrorists than Bush! Stop being rediculous and debate the real issues instead of being distracted by this bullshit. I hope BUSH gets reelected the continue his fights. It seems that no matter what he does you people just damn him to hell. I say we take a more moderate course and only consider substantialted facts. Scary idea huh?
