Culture of delusion

We just have to ignore evil and it will go away. At least that’s what I gather from leftist-former-CIA-analysts and such.

Islamo-terrorism is a joke to former CIA analyst Larry C. Johnson. (I wonder how much of this is endemic in the agency?) Two attempted car bombs and a burning car crashing into an airport building elicits only derision from the former watchdog of secret intelligence.

Preliminary, unconfirmed reports indicate a nuclear blast has occurred at Glasgow’s international airport. No one has seen the mushroom cloud or heard the blast, but something by God is happening and it must be terrible. There is smoke and fire. In fact, a car is on fire. It must be Al Qaeda. Only Al Qaeda knows how to set themselves on fire inside a car. Please. Flee to the hills (leave you doors unlocked). Oh the humanity! ~Larry C. Johnson

There is something to be learned here. Larry Johnson made a strong vitriolic defense of Valerie Plame, suggesting that Bush be impeached for outing a, “secret agent.”

GLASGOW, Scotland - A Jeep Cherokee trailing a cascade of flames rammed into Glasgow airport on Saturday, shattering glass doors just yards from passengers at the check-in counters. Police said they believed the attack was linked to two car bombs found in London the day before.

Britain raised its terror alert to “critical” — the highest possible level — and the Bush administration announced plans to increase security at airports and on mass transit.

Five bystanders were wounded, though none seriously, police said. ~news.yahoo.com

Experts on terrorism say it’s just a joke! There is no terrorism, it’s all just an effort to create a culture of fear by the Bu$hies.

Incredibly, there has been no real investigation of why we were asleep at the wheel before 9/11. May I suggest that there is a very good reason and he has ‘outed himself’.

“Judging from news reports and the portrayal of villains in our popular entertainment, Americans are bedeviled by fantasies about terrorism. They seem to believe that terrorism is the greatest threat to the United States and that it is becoming more widespread and lethal. They are likely to think that the United States is the most popular target of terrorists. And they almost certainly have the impression that extremist Islamic groups cause most terrorism.

“None of these beliefs are based in fact. … While terrorism is not vanquished, in a world where thousands of nuclear warheads are still aimed across the continents, terrorism is not the biggest security challenge confronting the United States, and it should not be portrayed that way.”

–Larry C. Johnson, “The Declining Terrorist Threat,” New York Times, July 10, 2001. Johnson, a former CIA officer, was deputy director of the U.S. State Department’s Office of Counterterrorism from 1989 to 1993.

Let’s take a look at that last bit, shall we?
