It’s 3 AM and The Government Has us Scared to Death, Who Can Sleep?
It’s 3AM, the phone in the White House rings. Something is happening in the world….
We’ve all heard Hillary’s ad, and listened to all the sniping back and forth about who is more qualified to ‘take the call’ at 3 AM. Between this ad making the headlines and Bush’s “we are going to be attacked at any minute” speeches, nobody will be sleeping at 3AM so we can all take turns waiting for the phone to ring!
According to Gen. Gene Renuart, head of the U.S. military command responsible for homeland defense, an attack against the United States seems imminent. He claims that recorded messages from al Qaeda leaders such as Osama bin Laden and Ayman al-Zawahri show the group responsible for the Sept. 11 attacks is “looking for a way to have a big impact again.”
Even Bush said during his speech today, marking the five year anniversary of the Department of Homeland Security, that terrorists were plotting another attack as he spoke. He said “U.S. security agencies must take the words of al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden “very seriously” when he says operations are in preparation.”
Obviously Bush is ratcheting up the ‘terror threat’ rhetoric to bolster his case for telecom immunity again. Only this time he is using Osama bin Laden by name to really get the point across. One question though about Osama’s name coming up again, is why is he still on the loose? Shouldn’t finding Osama be a higher priority than scaring the living daylight out of us by saying “he’s gonna get us again”?
I’m starting to think Osama bin Laden is more valuable in name to Bush than he is dead or alive. Because it’s been seven years since 9/11, and many things have happened except Osama bin Laden remains on the loose. So I might suggest Bush put the fear card away, and go out and find this guy, rather than treating him like some mysterious, mythical God of evil and using his name to further his own political fear attacks.
