OH, THAT TERRORISM

In spite of an FBI report to the contrary, the CIA recently concluded that there is no credible evidence that terrorists will attempt to disrupt our election. If that makes you feel safer remember the CIA missed: a) Iraq’s1990 invasion of Kuwait, b) Pakistan’s acquisition of nuclear weapons, c) North Korea’s start up its nuclear program, after Clinton negotiated its end d) Iraq’s WMD. This list is not meant to slam the CIA. After all, how was the CIA supposed to know Saddam didn’t have WMD when Saddam didn’t even know he didn’t have the WMD he thought he bought?

But the CIA report that there is no indication that our election will not be disrupted by terrorism misses some obvious evidence. Nearly every day there are reports of another Bush/Cheney campaign office being shot up, vandalized, robbed or over run by union thugs. If these things were occurring at abortion clinics, John Kerry would be declaring it the work of religious right-wing terrorist nuts. But, John Kerry and Terry McAuliffe have remained silent on the assault on Bush campaign offices, because it’s Democrat terrorists inflicting the terror.

How low has organized labor sunk? The guys that used to take on armed National Guardsmen, police forces and armed strike-breakers are reduced to drive-by shootings at campaign offices and shouting at old ladies waiting in line to vote. Kerry and McAuliffe should have condemned the violence weeks ago but should do it now before someone is seriously hurt or killed.
