Terror Threat Level Soon to Increase

GWB has a problem. Even the thin analysis reveals a contradiction that has him and the Administration in a most difficult position. He tells us the wars are going well. However, if the wars are going well, then the threat of terrorism is diminished. If the threat of terrorism is diminished, then there is less immediacy for wars and other facets of the Bush agenda, namely further societal constraints under the guise of homeland security.

Of course, this is predicated on the baseless notion that the wars are being fought against people linked to terrorism.

Bush Inc. needs to control fear in the populace to make us blindly capitulate, to not question executive actions. No terror, no fear. But if they try to scare us with an announcement of "chatter" or by raising the threat level to tangerine, then we must be losing the wars! We spent $300 billion and 1700 American lives for nothing? At least this is the perception.

He's in predicament that all of his cronies, all of his family money and even his cast of goons can't get him out of.

A quick prediction: the Homeland Security warning system will be elevated to the orange threat level any day now...
