Al Qaeda wants the 9/11 Bush-Worship and Goosestep to go on

What city is missing from this picture?

A group of F.B.I. counterterrorism analysts warned this week of possible terrorist attacks in New York, Los Angeles and Chicago around Sept. 11, but officials cautioned on Thursday that they were skeptical about the seriousness of the threat.

The warning grew out of intelligence developed from an overseas source indicating that terrorists might seek to steal fuel tanker trucks in order to inflict "mass casualties" by staging an anniversary attack, officials said.

The information led F.B.I. joint terrorism task forces in Los Angeles and Newark to alert other government and law enforcement officials privately this week about the threat, law enforcement officials said. Several government officials in Washington who were briefed on the threat said it was described as credible and specific enough to warrant attention.

But other law enforcement officials in Washington and New York said that while they were aware of the warnings and were concerned about the Sept. 11 anniversary, they remained somewhat skeptical about the latest threat.

The Federal Bureau of Investigation was planning to send out another confidential law enforcement bulletin on Thursday to qualify the earlier one and emphasize that the threat of a possible tanker attack had not been verified.

"The information is uncorroborated, and the source is of questionable reliability," said Brian Roehrkasse, a spokesman for the Department of Homeland Security. "This information continues to be evaluated by the intelligence community."


How typical is this? Bush's ratings are in the toilet, his dilemma about Karl Rove is back in the press and the fingers are starting to point right at his office, Cindy Sheehan is a bee buzzing around his bonnet, so of course we're going to have terrorist threats of "questionable credibility. After all, it works for him every time, doesn't it? Keep 'em scared, keep 'em controlled, that's the Bush Junta's motto.

Now, you'd think that Al Qaeda would WANT to stage an attack during a Biggest Dickus celebration like the one Rummy is planning for 9/11, wouldn't you? Unless, of course, Al Qaeda is on the Administration's SIDE, via the close and enduring friendship between the Bush Family and Osama Bin Laden, in which case you'd target cities FULL OF LIBERALS, so as to kill two birds with one stone, as it were -- get rid of a bunch of Democratic voters and keep the heartland scared shitless.

Hell, you could blame it on Iran too, while you're at it, and finally be able to launch those nukes you've been wanting to set off for five years.
