Yep, They Still Hate Us

Authorities on three continents thwarted multiple terrorist attacks aimed at the United States from Yemen on Friday, seizing two explosive packages addressed to Chicago-area synagogues and packed aboard cargo jets. The plot triggered worldwide fears that al-Qaida was launching a major new terror campaign.

President Barack Obama called the coordinated attacks a "credible terrorist threat," and U.S. officials said they were increasingly confident that al-Qaida's Yemen branch, the group responsible for the failed Detroit airliner bombing last Christmas, was responsible.

Parts of the plot might remain undetected, Obama's counterterror chief warned. "The United States is not assuming that the attacks were disrupted and is remaining vigilant," John Brennan said at the White House.

-- but if this had happened to Bush, four days before the Mid-Term Elections, oh yeah, it did... and we know what everyone was screaming that he was manipulating our fears. Wait, no, he was - at least I think that's what Tom Ridge said in his book? I don't know, I didn't read it - but someone else read it and told me that was totally in there.

But, no hold on here, I thought Mr. Obama was going to make the terrorists love us so that they wouldn't send bombs in ink toner cartridges to synagogues in FedEx packages? Man! Maybe it's our breath. That must be it. It's our breath. America, please, brush your teeth to avoid being hated and bombed by the bad guys. Boy, I hope that works!
