Bloomberg and White House Intelligence????

"If you waited to make sure all of your information was accurate, you'd only find out after the event had taken place," he told WNBC television on Sunday. The mayor, who is facing re-election next month, continued over the weekend to urge New Yorkers and visitors to "go about our business."---Mayor Bloomberg

This sounds like the run up to the invasion of Iraq. (They have weapons of mass destruction. We have good intelligence. If we wait for proof, it will be in the form of a mushroom cloud.)

Blah, Blah, Blah---anytime the Republicans are found to be the corporate whores that they are and we see their true heart could care less about real Americans a terror alert is called upon to bring America back to their side. If you really think that they could do anything to stop a real threat you have got a major rationale problem. I love how they can claim that they have stopped attack after attack and can provide no proof. This whole heightened security in New York is nothing more than the normal Republican red herring. If they distract real Americans and the media from the real problems facing the nation then maybe they can maintain their majority and help their corporate friends with tax breaks, and no bid contracts at the same time.

And as for the second part of the statement “go about your business” that sounds a lot like “if we stop shopping the terrorist will have won, keep going about your business, no sacrifice will be called upon by this generation of Americans.” If you want to know what I mean by that, it is that the Republicans are running up a huge debt that mine and your kids are going to have to figure out a way to pay for and the Republicans and their corporate friends are polluting the environment that mine and your children are going to have to find a way to clean up.

Every time the news media shows a armed soldier in the Subway system and quotes a citizen as saying they feel more secure because of it the Republicans clap for joy. It really does not matter that that guard is there because of bullshit intelligence and he would not be able to stop a suicide bomber even if he wanted to. Kudos to the Republicans for the distraction around a holiday and the national pastime in New York, and thumbs down to the media for swallowing this crap hook line and sinker.
