For anyone on any side of the political isle. Just FYI. Having a news story that has nothing to do with politics then saying it dose scares the hell out of the undecideds who then think everyone is a bunch of fruit cakes. It kinda falls into the category that the moon landing was filmed in Arizona.
May i suggest talking about the economy or something of substance.

This is a logical possibility. I agree with this.

Looks like Obama has done more to protect the country than Bush and Cheney did... Oh yeah... They're still looking for WMD's...

and yes... this story will be forgotten by Wednesday...
Well no, actually they did.

I think this whole affair was cooked up to sway the election at the last minute. It was clumsy and transparent but who was behind it? That it was cargo jets and not passenger jets was a give away. That they were mailed to synagogues was another. I don't think any organized terror cell would make such a weak effort.
But was it done to make the Obama administration look bad or to make it look good? The plot gets discovered and Obama looks to be on the ball. Or yet another terrorist group tries to bring down a plane and he looks bad. Either way, I'm not buying it and hope the media just forgets it. Thats UNLESS they suddenly make some arrests, which I doubt they will.
