This does not bode well at all.

I wasn't gonna touch that one but since you went there I highly agree.

I'm betting that this will spur yet another round of "anti terrorist" legislation to take away more of our rights and fund more military actions around the globe.

To add a different note of cynicism, it's possible Dubya won't pay this any mind at all, since it didn't happen in Iraq or Iran.

I doubt it. It's too good a PR opportunity for Chimpy and Darth to pass up.

This happened because the terrorists heard that Americans were thinking about not voting Republican in 2008, and that emboldened them.

We are cursed with the most emboldenable terrorists in history. Be afraid. Pee your pants. Vote Republican.

The only terrorists I fear are the ones we have in office...

You know what really scares me? I'll bet there are dozens of illegal programs in place now that we haven't even found out about yet, and won't until he leaves office. It's like waiting for the other 300 pound boot to drop.

I agree.

Personally though I think you're underestimating the weight of the boot. :-(

There has never been a better time than now for the need of a transparent government.

Assuming he leaves office, of course. I can't help but wonder if The Occupant isn't watching the whole Pakistan mess over the last several months and complaining that Musharraf stole his playbook.

Ah, I can still out-paranoid all of you. I was wondering how much he paid them...
