Tom Ridge: I Was Pressured To Raise Terror Alert To Help Bush Win

Folks, sometimes these things are just plum necessary. Sometimes we have to follow the authority of a Higher Father, rather than play by the rules. Our President, George Dubya Bush, was chosen by God to fight the evil doers. Can you imagine if that surrender monkey John Kerry had won? Hells bells, the Democraps would have run up the white flag of surrender. We would all be submitting to Allah. And our women would be made to cover up with long dresses, and be forced to drop out of school and stay home (although, that’s not a bad idea actually, Osama :thup:). And you just KNOW that our Muslim overlords will close down all gay massage parlors. :( . Just sayin'.

Folks, we can’t always play by the rules, when Christianity is on the ropes.

The Higher Father, Dick Cheney?
 
In 2004, the Republicans prevented more than 350000 votes from being counted in Ohio. The House Judiciary Committee got more than 57,000 complaints following Bush's alleged re-election.
 
ok, so all the gotchya and making fun of sources aside, this comes directly from Ridge and it PROVES that the Bush administration used Terrorism and terror alerts to profit politically. They relied on OUR fear to drive us rather than our self interest. Well done Al Qaeda, you succeeded in making us fear you more than love our liberty. That is what is so ultimately sad about this story.

In a new book, former Secretary of Homeland Security Tom Ridge reveals new details on politicization under President Bush, reports US News & World Report's Paul Bedard. Among other things, Ridge admits that he was pressured to raise the terror alert to help Bush win re-election in 2004.

Ridge was never invited to sit in on National Security Council meetings; was "blindsided" by the FBI in morning Oval Office meetings because the agency withheld critical information from him; found his urgings to block Michael Brown from being named head of the emergency agency blamed for the Hurricane Katrina disaster ignored; and was pushed to raise the security alert on the eve of President Bush's re-election, something he saw as politically motivated and worth resigning over.

Dave Weigel, writing for the Washington Independent, notes that in the past, Ridge has denied manipulating security information for political reasons. In 2004, for example, he said, "We don't do politics in the Department of Homeland Security."

The Bush administration was forced to admit in the days after the 2004 alert that it was based on intelligence three or four years old. Officials then claimed there was a previously unmentioned "separate stream of intelligence" that justified the warning -- but offered little tangible information to support their new story..

As if we needed Tom Ridge to tell us the Bush Administration manipulated the war on terror and manipulltaed weak ass American "can't see the forest for the trees" minds.


A letter addressed to Mr. Ridge:

NO SHIT SHERLOCK, TELL US ALL SOMETHING WE DON'T KNOW!

Once again, another enabler of evil trying to get right with God via confession. Day late and a dollar short, Mr. Ridge....burn in hell.
