It seems that Wag the Dog...

was not so far off base after all. I had said when I first heard of the foiled terrorist plot I thought Wag the Dog. Here we go again. Something not going as planned for the GOP, --- dial 911, same old same old. I felt guilty about that and saddened that I had become so cynical. Welllll.....today I hear that Britain and the U.S. had quite a disagreement as to the **timing*** of the release of this information. Britain did NOT want to go public as they did not have as much information as they would like. The suspects did not have a definite date to carry out the plan, some did not have passports and the Brits wanted to wait until they had something more definitive. They had been following this cell for 13 months, so why out it now. when they were not ready. Why indeed?? Lamont winning a primary over the well-known, many-times-elected, favorite son Lieberman?? The right can make as little of this as they like but truth be told the win, even tho only a primary, spoke volumes. The American people are sick of this war and do not want to expand it to the entire Middle East. So, against the wishes of the Brits who had infiltrated and carried out an undercover investigation for over a year, the U.S., hours after Lieberman lost, released this information, embellishing quite a bit it seems. Then the big 3 Bush, Cheney and Rumsfeld hit the road with the same old same old --- we must ***stay the course***, we must seriously consider preemptive war with Iran and Syria and ***get them before they get us, kill them there instead of killing them here, *** yada, yada, yada. It was not time to release this information but it was time for a good scare. It was also time to re-emphasize that anyone who dare disagree with the administration is a card-carrying member of Al-Queda and public enemy #1 and a threat to the country. While I believe that this was a true cell with intentions to harm and I am extremely grateful to the Brits for being able to infiltrate and follow this, even if not to fruition, I am disgusted that this most arrogant of administrations has once again done just as it pleases without a thought to anything else and in the name of partisan politics, not homeland security. Why politics ??? The timing. What not homeland security?? We had 11 Egyptian young men (the profile??) in our country and we LOST them. At this point, I believe the only help we will receive in all this mess is Divine Intervention. I feel that prayer is the only string I have to play on. I cannot convince anyone to change his/her opinion even when that opinion flies in the face of truth. I cannot control the broken process of voting or the inadequate method of counting votes, be it incompetence, mechanical failure or out and out sabotage. So I am going to take my voice to the One I know will hear it and will listen. I really don't know what else to do at this point. Sorry for the length and frustration of this post, just one of those days.
