It was just the first part of the week that all the news was focused on if we had “all” of the additional troops in Iraq and if the surge was working or not. Now we don’t need to think about the surge anymore. Quick look over here now,,,,, forget about the surge, nothing to see folks keep it moving.

Hey, it's the latest way to make an intelligent decision. Just go by your "feelings". I know I feel a lot better about my family's safety.

I wonder if any enterprisinf reporter has done a study of just how often we get reports of an increasing threat at the same time bad news is released?
Keith Olbermann did a fine job (I think last year) showing a direct correlation between bad news and increased 'terror warnings'. Check Youtube for videos, I think something like the Nexus of Politics and Terror.

Your definetly NOT the only one.

I grew up in a very manipulative and controlling family...the hair stands up on my neck when someone starts to shine me on...thats why I can't watch Bush in the Rose Garden anymore...
