The administration releases information that terrorists are plotting to attack the United States before the November election. This is based on information resulting from the arrest of terror suspects in Europe. Osama and al-Zawahiri are said to be directing them.

The response from the Left? They're "crying wolf", "zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz" and "This is nothing new - they've already been spouting this sort of crap".

Back in August 2001 the President's Daily Briefing pointed out that for quite some time bin Laden had wanted to attack inside the US. This apparently is based on no new information. No action is taken because there's nothing actionable.

The left's reaction to this? "Bush knew!", "Do these people need somebody to tell them to do something?", "The idiot hears that... and then takes a month off? That's criminally irresponsible!", "george, it's called terrorism 'cause you dont know when & where its occurs. bush should be impeached and convicted for gross negligence" and "All Bu$h had to do at his Aug 7th Press Briefing was to tell the American people that we had serious concerns about a possible al Qaeda attack".

Damned if you do, damned if you don't.
