I wouldn't put anything past them. The press is finally starting to turn on them. Lou Dobbs came right out and asked last night of the latest terra threat was politically motivated. :shocked:

Lou Dobbs impresses me. There's no doubt that he's an old conservative coot, but he despises this administration.

I posted an article yesterday in the other thread about how all the political analysts were saying that the terror threat is total BS and a ploy to get job approval numbers up.
