I thought I'd wander over to the fever swamp (democraticunderground.com) to see what they were saying about the latest terror plot. Some of these folks are in serious need of help.

From The Watcher:
I simply cannot believe that people are willing to swallow that this is legit after a White House Spokesman actually uttered "This is going to play big in the coming weeks."
Maybe we deserve to live in a Theocracy or an Orwellian Nightmare.
Because we are certainly willing to panic on demand it seems.
OH SAVE US!!!!!! SAVE US FROM ABDUL AND THE EVIL CAN OF SHAVING CREAM AND THE DEADLY BOTTLE OF AFTER SHAVE!!!!!!! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!
"Come on little sheep! Hide and cower for the Masters! Come on! COME ON! Only Republicans can protect you from Evil Ali Babba and his Aqua Velva Of Death. Come On! Thaaaaaaaaaaaaaat's a good little citizen. Duck And Cover Now. Show me your Duct Tape. Thats a good citizen!" :sarcasm:
This is INSANE.

From KansDem:
Yeah, it appears the British held off until Cheney could badmouth Dems...
...then the Brits foiled the plot while His Royal Flatulence cheerleads from this side of the pond.

From lala_rawraw:
the WH clearly abused their position on this and exploited it for political points and in my opinion, leaked classified, life threatening information to the press that may have tipped off the plotters. this was a disaster and that is the story. the plot in London is real, the WH behavior is criminal. two separate issues.

From Plaid Adder:
So, a major terrorist plot is foiled in England, airline traffic is FUBAR for the forseeable future, and now all of us who have to get on planes any time soon will be dealing with not only our own panic but everyone else's.
And how does the Bush administration feel about this? Well, apparently, they're stoked.
Someday, just once, I want to see someone get up in public and ask why it is that Americans are expected to feel safer with a guy in power whose political fortunes are linked this closely to terrorism. Doesn't it bother anyone else to see that every time something either blows up or almost blows up, the Bush administration lackeys get out there and say, "Hey, fabulous, this is really going to boost our approval ratings"? Wouldn't you rather have someone in power who did not see terrorism as a political godsend? Wouldn't you maybe trust a guy more whose whole political survival didn't depend on things like this happening? Who, you know, didn't think terrorism had an upside?

From BossHog:
BOMB IRAQ?? That would be his answer and it would be supported by the flag waving chickenhawks in our country. Nothing we are doing in Iraq had anything to do with the stifling of this weeks plans.
If bush were president when Japan attacked Pearl Harbor, he would have attacked Norway.
