Chertoff Worries About 'Earth-Shattering' Events. Here comes the fear factor before the elections!

Chertoff recognizes it has been more than six years since al Qaida launched the Sept. 11 attacks, but some experts say that's how long it took to plan them, suggesting the U.S. may close in on another spectacular attempt by Osama bin Laden to topple the U.S. economy.

I got to agree with you that we will be hearing more of this during the year, in regards to the election. On the other hand I do agree with some of what was said in the source you referenced.

A scapegoat definitely. They're not uncommon lol.

This may turn out to be a key object in presidential debate, as RedGolem noted.

I hate to use another parenting analogy -- but what the heck -- hasn't it been proven that threatening your children eventually is more harmful than successful in maintaining control? Terrorism has been used to quite opportunistically by our government to elicit greater control in the lives of Americans and to strip us of freedoms. Its not to late to begin taking responsibility for our country -- our economy, health care, education, -- as Barak Obama illustrated at a recent campaign speech the litany of things money spent on Iraq could have done to better life in this democracy.

The current administration has kept us on ORANGE too often without specifics. Its a bit like crying wolf. How will be know when to call their bluff?

And for that matter has anyone else started thinking since 9/11 about whether the terrorists aren't at least making some sense in their claims about the baseness of our culture? Rather than give up freedoms -- our national leadership ought to be taking a good look at human condition in America. I'm not talking force neocon values -- but look at what can be done to make life in America stronger. IF we have our own act together we'll be better world role models of democracy. Don't we think any other nation has a right to choose? Wouldn't it be better to say -- Look you could be like this...

Before we can fix the threats elsewhere in the world -- we need to get a better grip on the problems at home -- and without the fear factor threat from our leaders.

No random generator needed when you are on the inside and are being told when the next "event" will happen. Does anybody REALLY think that Alex Jones is a mystic that could predict with 100% accuracy that the Neocon Junta would attack and destroy BOTH WTC towers? Predictions are easy when your making the "prophesy" come true yourself.
