Expect More Terrorist Arrests as Election Nears:
Three wanna be terrorists were arrested overseas recently in addition to the seven wanna be's arested in Florida in the past few days. In both cases we learned that the wanna be's had made little if any progress toward actually committing an act of terrorism. In the case of the three arrested overseas, some of them had not even met one another (none had even been to the US). In the Florida case, the leader seemed uncertain of which religious group he was actually a fanatical member of.
The in-your-face news briefings announcing these arrests comes at a time when the Bush administration must face ever increasing criticism about its handling of its oil war in the middle-east and its ineptitude in handling the situation in North Korea, not to mention Iran.
To top off low poll numbers that threaten many Republican incumbents, who also can't make up their minds about how to handle their racists views towards our southern neighbors, the news is being filled with stories about soldiers who are being charged with murder and rape and military cover-ups to protect ranking officers from accusations of incompetence.
All of this comes on top of near daily exposure of the corruption that comes along with the kind of power that the Republican Party has accumulated over the past several decades. The death by natural causes of a convicted felon brings back to the fore the relationship (Enron) that Republicans have with all that seems currently wrong in this country. Voters are beginning to wonder if perhaps it isn't time for a change, any change, as long as the faces aren't the same tired ones we've been forced to listen to who provide us only with empty, clichés.
Having no real answers for the problems that face the average American, the Bush gang will attempt to blow the fear trumpet as loudly as possible over the next few months in an attempt to convince us that change is dangerous.
Is this little shepherd boy knocking down cardboard wolves in order to convince us he can protect us from the real thing?
