There is no commodity identified as a terrorist in this world, these are just "FALSE EXCUSES" to overpower oil wells or establish military bases anywhere, outside the jurisdiction.

A lot of responders seem to have their heads in the sand...poetic justice would be for an attack (I pray it doesn't happen) hits the Democrat National Convention. Then, would you boneheads believe the threat is real? For some of you zealots, you'd probably think, no, you would be CERTAIN our Govt did it.

Jr., California

Maybe YOU voted for that numbskull twice. Many of us recognized his gross incompetence after the first term and only voted for him once. Then there are those of us who never voted for him at all. Clearly the majority of Americans are now against him. And then there are those like myself who actually despise everything he is and everything he stands for. Perhaps it is you who should find another country to live in. I'd suggest sneaking into Mexico but they enforce their immigration laws there. And yes, God bless America...but not George Bush.

People be concerned about this comment.
If a terrorist attack were to come, Bush could possibly pull the "No elections–I'll remain President Card".

This would be dangerous for America and the world. Talk about the end of it.

Those who know, understand exactly what I'm talking about.

Wow, Brad from Texas, that thought sure was "profound". About as "profound" as your great state of Texas executing the retarded on a regular basis. (How did you escape those pogroms, by the way?) Since your understanding of geopolitics and imperialist hegemony obviously comes from reading the can of Cheez Whiz that you invert above your mouth, allow me to utter one word for you to ponder: "Reichstag". Now run along to a dictionary and do your best.

Tell us who the terrorist are??

The REPUBLICAN using FEAR to get reelected.

Terrorist uses fear to impose there ideas. That is the definition of terrorism. Republicans using fear to pass there ideas. Reelect me or terrorist will get you.

So who are the real terrorist??? WhiteHouse

If terrorist hit around election time It be Bush and republican that failed to stop em. Probably so they can get reelected.

Well JR you should be posting from Iraq then. If you agree so much. Suit up and go over there and if you to old to join the military then go as a civilian.

But if you are not doin that, then you need to shut up. It's just that simple. Funny how ALL the neo-cons that supported this war, will not go to Iraq to stand up for American interest. Military or civilian.

I know you won't have time to reply , as you shoulod have a plane to catch...To Iraq.

Perhaps you can give Homeland Security our email addresses ONLY IF you want to be warned of any threat. It's your choice. Now can we move onto something constructive?

Please, Jr. tell me you're about nine years old! You trust this man? The ecomony here in Michigan is going down the tubes because of past and current Republican tax cuts, among other things. We now have to raise taxes just to keep basic services and schools open. Yup, Bush has been super for Michigan all right.
And safer..not a bit! In fact, I fear this White House will stage an attack right around October, so bush can suspend elections, declare martial law, and be the King he thinks he is.
IMPEACH!!!

Oh wait thats just for elderly...at the moment...We need a One World Order. Big Brother loves us all. *note my sarcasm*. Better yet a North American Union and Amero dollar. Coming to a town near you.

You people are naive--this same tactic was used in Spain a few years ago(remember the train bombings?). I know 99% of you only like to think of "happy" things, but I for one take some satisfaction in knowing there is a plan to deal with this frightening possibility. Oh, and for all you people who use the term "fearmongerer" so loosely? You're some of the same ones who call Bush "Hitler" "Stalin" "Mussolini" "the devil", then you imply that he is trying to defy the Constitution and remain in power. What purpose does the namecalling serve? Aren't you trying to convince others to fear the president? Therefore, you Bush-haters are the ones fearmongering (as well as inciting hatred). I know it's a profound thought, so I don't expect most of you liberals to get it!

What "special" precautions do you put in place in the absence of a specific threat that you wouldn't already have for general protection of the public 24/7? Is this effectively an admittance by the administration that despite taking full credit for protecting the homeland from international terrorism they really had no control after all?

More of the same old, made-up "scare" baloney from an administration that wouldn't know the truth if it bit them in their comfort zones. All done to give the false impression that "we're in control of the situation." How do these people sleep at night? Good riddance, Ms. Townsend.

What's more, it could be true "fedspeak". It might happen. It will probably be planned by the government and not terrorists. Then they can say, "I told you so". Many people will follow Bush to the grave, where they very well may follow him. It is my hope that truth will prevail. I'm not saying that there isn't people out there who want to smack some Americans around, but why be afraid? Who gains extra life by being scarred?

Terrorist could and would attack anytime and any place they could, let us not forget that they managed an attack under this administration.

The fact that another attack has not occurred is not news worthy, what would be news worthy is if this administration failed a second time and permitted another attack to ocurr.

Fear mongering is basically all this administration is capable of. Just remember if an attack would occur it would occur with a Republican in the White House.

Haha. A terrorist attack could happen at any time in the United States, or around the world for that matter. More fear, more fear, more fear. This administration is a joke. I am completely sick of how "we" as a country accept this. IMPEACH BUSH. Kick him out of the White House. I encourage everyone who hasn't seen it, to watch V for Vendetta. That movie could not speak more to the truth about how this administration is run.

Convenient timing for a terrorist attack. It would allow Bush to call for martial law under the pretense of homeland security, which means newly-elected officials cannot be sworn into office until the President calls for a return to civil law.
We deserve to be punished for allowing this creep to assume office when that 2000 election was so blatantly stolen. The empire has crumbled.

John, Sarasota, FL;

I know what you mean. It is 100% the medias fault. Those who control the information control the population (at least a wide % of it). It's up to us to educate our parents and grandparents. Tell them to forget all the misinformation they've been fed over the years.

The internet is our only hope at this point. All the news papers and TV news outlets are all dominated by the elite. The try to polarize them to make us think there is a choice. However, it is all in the same.

Our fight is with the media and their false information, not with each other. Then, we can smack some bankers around after that.

Such a comment is silly. No wonder Homeland Security Department is not respected in our country having leaders like this and the McDonald's dropouts at the airport security lines. An election day and political turnover may be a day of turmoil in countries about which the enemy is familiar; but we know that all aspects of our government will operate at they should after the election as before and whether we elect and African-American or a Woman there is no vulnerability in our country or our government. Let's stop fearing because those people have no experience of the world.
