Is it just me, or does the timing of this present terrorist threat seem orchestrated?
Timeline:
Americans fed up with war
Lieberman loses to anti-war candidate (per msm spin)
Be afraid! Terrorists out to get you! BOO!
Don't get me wrong. I'm thrilled to pieces that the Brits nabbed a major English-born Pakistani terrorist cell. I'm very pleased a potential 9/11 anniversary plot has been foiled.
But isn't it all a little convenient? Just when Bush's approval ratings are low, when Americans are fed up with the War in Iraq masquerading as a War on Terra, Bam! The bad guys are foiled and you have to buy all your in-flight refreshments 'cause you can't carry on a bottle of water anymore.
If they take it another step and eliminate carry-on luggage on domestic flights, it may be an end to air travel as we know it. How can I fly without 3 books, crosswords, my own lunch, and a couple of bottles of water?
Hmm... Tinfoil in place, Captain! Awaiting orders.
