Ridge: "inevitable" US will be attacked again

The sheople need to be made nervous again, apparently.

The real question is: Did Tom "Duct Tape" Ridge just blab himself out of a Presidential Medal of Freedom? (I'm not too worried for him; he's probably still got the seven-figure consultancy at Carlyle as a fallback):

Quote:

Departing Homeland Security Secretary Tom Ridge said on Friday he believed another attack on the United States was inevitable, and warned that America should not focus just on al Qaeda, but also on similar groups that could carry out attacks.

"I have accepted the inevitability of another attack or attacks," Ridge said in an interview on the eve of his departure from the department launched two years ago to guard against another attack like that of Sept. 11, 2001.

"It could be al Qaeda or it could be al Qaeda-like organizations," said Ridge, who departs on Feb. 1. "I do think, when we talk about global terrorism, (it is) better ... that America doesn't focus just on al Qaeda."

"There are a lot of al Qaeda-like organizations and there are quite a few (Osama) bin Laden wannabes out there -- you've got one of them operating in Iraq right now," he said, referring to al Qaeda's leader in Iraq, Abu Musab al-Zarqawi.

First, I thought we were going to be attacked only if John Kerry was elected President.

That's what Dick Cheney and Bernie Kerik and others said, anyway...

Secondly, I would like to know what steps Ridge has taken to protect his own family in the face of this inevitability, especially since he has been privy to the most sensitive national security intelligence. Does the Ridge household have sufficient plastic sheeting for the windows, doors, and fireplace? How about a five-tier, color-coded terror alert warning system electronic light bar in the kitchen? Is there breathing apparati readily available -- meaning upstairs and down -- for all family members? A helipad out back for rapid evac?

This isn't quite as dumb as Tommy Thompson giving our enemies suggestions on what to attack next, but it is in keeping wih the Bush administration's undeclared desire to keep the sheople on a running-in-the-background program of fear.

Do you think it's working?

I thought he was the one who said the job of keeping America safe was completed and now it's not?

No, that was Assclown -- err, I mean Ashcroft.

Yeah, America IS safer. But safe? Not when there are a bunch of lunatics whose primary goal in life is to blow up Americans, and spend eternity fooling around with their 72 virgins. (I wonder what happens, when these women are no longer virgins. Do the guys get replacements? )

An excellent question. Let's carry that out.

Assuming seventy-two is the cap, once a Muslim man has sated himself over time with the thrill of having a virgin in heaven, does he then revisit the now experienced members of his harem in order to perfect his -- and their -- technique?

What other option does he have if he doesn't?

It certainly presents itself as a tempting scenario: a martyr could spend a large portion of his eternity breaking in and subsequently growing tired of 72 different women.

But it seems as if heaven would eventually become repetitive and boring -- just as life on Earth sometimes does.

Alas, what's the point of martyrdom then?

Oh, o.k., I'm getting my puppets mixed up. It's hard to keep them straight when they're all spewing lies.

One thing for sure...the 72 virgin thing certainly answers the age old question "Does God have a sense of humor"? once he's done with the 72 virgins....he now has 72 WOMEN TO SATISFY!!!!!!

As anyone, especially the married members know, you can't keep ONE woman happy all the time much less 72, and there comes a time when you have to ask yourself if the pussy was worth it. Now multiply that by 72.

Excuse me Mr. Muslim...Jesus gets the last laugh it looks like....

Moving along, if the man had sex once a day, that would mean he would only satisfy each woman about five times a year. Even at three times a day, that would mean each woman would have "the pleasure of his company" fifteen times a year, or a little more than once a month.

More than that, unless the guy were Superman, would put a huge dent into the guy's energy, and would render him ill equipped to deal with those of his harem who just happened to be troubled by PMS.

(I think that those suicide bombers have gotten a raw, (and I mean RAW) deal!)

Maybe if those guys who want to be suicide bombers listened to their math teachers, instead of the mullahs who are advocating martyrhood, they might have figured all this out, before it was too late!

Well, in heaven...where I hope to end up if I can get some community service and I don't suicide bomb anyone...I'm told God will give me a perfect body so I assume I'll be able to get it up whenever I feel like it. And since before squinney I was married to Kathy, Laura and Gail I'll need some energy if I'm expected to deal with all of them. Fortunately Gail will be real easy, Kathy fairly easy, but squinney requires quite a bit of attention and Laura could keep me and 72 suicide bombers busy...... :wink:
