So Obama led McCain in 10 of 11 categories, according to the Washington Post, and you can guess the one category he lagged in:

Terrorism.

So, you got to give the guy points foe being honest, even if accidentally

are you aware that the Washington Post is a longtime CIA news outlet. Its nothing but a mouthpiece for the state.

are you aware of Operation Mockingbird...you think it was really ever folded up?

I think the guy spoke the truth and shouldn't be harassed for it. We jump all over politicians and activists for covering up the day's crap in obfuscations and inuendo, and then we pounce on the same people for telling it like it is.

I'd rather be consistent about the kinds of responses that come out of the mouths of politicians, and err on the side of openness, no matter how distasteful the truth really is.

McCain ’strenuously disagrees’ with strategist over the upside of terrorism

Disagrees?

Sounds like they're arguing over the placement of the salad fork and the dessert fork.

Here we go again. This is the same shit they pulled in 2004. And it worked perfectly. But in 2006, people woke up. I'm tired of being afraid. Next thing you know, they'll be telling us to put plastic on our windows.

I thought the only things McCane did "strenuously" were pass kidney stones and sneer.

P.D. @ 16:

I never took mine down...

Now he acts like Charlie didn't say it. "IF HE SAID THAT." What a crock of shit. Charlie Black doesn't just "work" for despotic dictators all over the world, he does hit jobs and rigs elections for despotic dictators all over the world. He is the KKKarl Rove of the 3rd world, except people die when he pulls his dirty tricks.

If Charlie Black thinks and admits that a terror attack in the US will be good for McBush, you can bet your ass he is making sure that attack will happen.

What Black says is no big deal. McCain will just earmark $300 million for it to go away.

Oh, how many ways can McCain disagree with the things his supporters say before the election.

Truth B Told @ 21:

getalife @ 11:

History shows they attack after an election with new leadership.

He will keep black for the millions from his friends to match Obama.

Both Senators suck.

Look at what happens after a President takes office lately...

Clinton.... WTC 93 Bombing, OKC bombing, TWA-800, Waco
Bush 43 ...9-11, Anthrax, DC Snipers, WMD's
Obama....

something will happen. the elite need major events to channel the people/state in the direction they want. and nothing moves the society like traumatic events (Klein)

"something" will only happen if open, honest discussion about what we, the people know, about state-sponsored false-flag terrorism, continues to be stifled.

the lusitania, pearl harbor, gulf of tonkin, the attack on the u.s.s. liberty -all 100% provable.

so while we all chastise speaker pelosi for "taking impeachment off the table", why have we, why have YOU, taken 9/11 "off the table"?

They are using fear, plain and simple. But you know what? It ain't going to work this time. People have no money, confidence, or trust for Bush and his Administation. If people vote for Mccain, they are either dumb, or would never vote for a black man, plain and simple.

We have to acknowledge that they are capable of launching a false flag attack against America in an attempt to win the election. However, by letting them know that WE KNOW they are capable of this, it will decrease the chances that they will attempt such an attack.

Neocon scum need the cover of darkness to operate. If we can show them that we can see what are doing, they will slink away into the muck and filth that spawned them.

Right-wingers are criminals, murderers and liars, but most of all; they are cowards.

Obama Aide: ‘We’ll Benefit if Country Suffers an Attack of Flatulence’
http://satiricalpolitical.com/?p=1949

Epinnoia @ 31:

Ethics requires universality -- what's good for the goose is good for the gander, as the saying goes. How many of us would sit idly by and let the Chinese invade our country based on lies, install a puppet government, and then sell off our infrastructure to Chinese companies?

And while the country would probably rally around a hawk if there were another attack, this is so obviously true that one would expect the enemies of the USA to realize that as well. Indeed, the far-right are more than happy to suggest that Obama is the terrorists' choice.

Well, extend that logic further. If they're wanting Obama, then why would they attack the USA UNLESS McCain showed signs of winning? So while a terrorist attack might well be great for McCain, a McCain victory would likely prompt a terrorist attack. Or at least an attempt at one.

china could invade any time they wanted. who'd protect you? the military? the national guard? they're all in iraq securing empire.

and unfortunately, our american leadership is so dim and greedy, they don't seem to realize they're being pwned by global elitists hell-bent on destroying our country -by design.

and, no, if there's another terrorist attack, it'll be a cold day in hell before america rallies around these neocon scumbags.

and when it's every man for himself, and blackwater's on main street rounding folks up under martial law, all the latte liberals who dissed charlton heston will be begging their militia nut cousins for a rifle so they can at least take one or two mercenaries out before getting tossed in a halliburton camp.

happy 4th of july!!

Why is it that all McCain has to do is give a "If he said it" comment and that he disagrees and hes off the hook? Obama would never get away with that. We'd hear about it 24/7 for weeks on end. Telflon John, indeed.

For those who are not familiar with false flag attacks, or who refuse to believe that the USA is incapable of doing such things, I point you to the following:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Northwoods

The terror campaign could be pointed at refugees seeking haven in the United States. We could sink a boatload of Cubans enroute to Florida (real or simulated).

We could blow up a US ship in Guantanamo Bay and blame Cuba.

Casualty lists in US newspapers would cause a helpful wave of national indignation.

Use of MIG type aircraft by US pilots could provide additional provocation.

Yeah, I remember that! They released some BS report about a terrorist gas attack and there was a run on Saran wrap and Duct tape at the stores.

Sorry, McBush, but I will never be a lemming. You won't march me off the cliff (or into Home Depot).

I really think most people can't or wont comprehend the gravity of this situation. Charlie Black isn't a political consultant like we think of political consultants. Charlie Black and his firm do things the CIA can't do. They are a front company that does legitimate business with governments and so can insulate the chain of command from any accountability for the things they do. Charlie Black does anything necessary to ensure the "right" things happen in countries around the world. "Anything necessary" means exactly what it says. This is not a guy who fucks around. He is a go to guy that makes things happen. Guns, bombs, riots, assassinations, you need it; he makes it happen.

If Charlie Black wasn't working for "our side", he would be labelled a terrorist. So an act of terror on US soil would not be anything new to this guy. Same shit, different locale.

And I suppose it would be out of the question for McSeniile to hold Mr. Black accountable and ask for his resignation. What kind of a leader is afraid to fire somebody anyways? Definitely Bush 2.0.

All this aside, I'm afraid Black was right. People tend to act stupid and lash out blindly when they're frightened with little regard for the predictable consequences of their actions. The tactic of terrorism is designed to provoke an over response and to cause frightened masses to swing to the right. It's the most effective means to undermine a democratic system and turn it towards unsustainable authoritarianism.

To me, it illustrates the pressing need for cooler heads to prevail when dealing with terrorism. We can't stop it if we refuse as a society to acknowledge its root causes. The rational response is twofold:

1. Address the origins of the grievances of those who committed the act and devise policies that either isolate the perpetrators or remove the reasons for their agression.

2. Employ international cooperation and traditional intelligence gathering and police actions against the perpetrators.

bullfrog@47

I'm not willing to go along with the 9/11 conspiracy theorists, I do think al Qeada was responsible for that act. They had the means, motive and ability to carry it off. They are not just dumb camel jockeys holed up in caves. I find that very notion racist. They are highly educated engineers, doctors and other professionals.

On the other hand, the anthrax attacks, I suspect, were an inside job. I place the onus of responsibility on our own homegrown Military Industrial Complex and rogue intelligence operatives, much more powerful forces than any small cabal of Zionists, if that's what you're getting at.

I'm tired of seeing people punished for candor. This comment is probably true, that McCain benefits from an attack, but more to the point its what Black thinks is true. I like hearing people in politics say what they actually think, and I don't like the idea that they're getting blogosphere'd to death over it.

Hey, there are almost 4 months til the election. A LOT can happen, and it probably will.....Black will ultimately be correct in the end.

I just want to take this moment to thank Nancy Pelosi for helping John McCain become the next president of the United Staes of America . Furthermore I want to thank Nancy Pelosi for making sure that Bush will remain in office if McCain can't snatch the presidency. Pelosi has said repeatedly, "Impeachment is off the table." Nancy Pelosi said in 2006, "There's a new congress in town." Ya Nancy ! Bring it on Nancy ! I'm in a foreign country which will benefit from America's collapse. Keep protecting Bush Nancy ! We love you over here in this country.

the worst terrorist attack in the history of human kind occured in this country under the, ahem, watch of a REPUBLICAN president and Congress.

Tell me again why we're supposed to trust Repugs more than Dems on the issue of protecting us from terrorisn ?

"McCain ’strenuously disagrees’ with strategist over the upside of terrorism"

I've lost track, was that a flip or a flop?

Actually, it's the first honest thing I've heard coming out of the McSame campaign. They've got nothing else but to play on people's irrational fears. The comment from Fortune magazine that Black's comment was made with "startling candor" is instead accidental honesty. Oops.

What Charlie Black's real screwup was. http://www.tagg-theangrygayguy.com

"He is ACTUALLY stupid enough to think he can pre-empt the GOP machine. Welcome to Nov. skippy!"
Dude you are one DUMB ASS, "Skippy" is going to have around $500,000,000 to "F" the GOP Machine up with. How do you like those apples sparky.

like clock work MSM runs right along with the theory that McSame is unbeatable on the issue of keeping us safer. no one questions why a man like this, who has been more wrong than correct on issues and opinions with regard to this war would get the benefit after an attack. maybe it's just me, but, i would tend to think that should any such horror occur here, the people patting themselves on the back for the great job thay are doing with security would be shown to have failed at keeping us safe.

secularhumanizinevoluter @ 61:

You folks keep on keepin on with your head in the sand, think you got them cowed mentality. It is truely going to be a JOY seeing the repug juggernaught of attack adds rip into obamalamadingdong. He is actually stupid enough to think him stamping his lil foot and sayin"my wife is off limits" is going to stop anything. He is ACTUALLY stupid enough to think he can pre-empt the GOP machine. Welcome to Nov. skippy!

Yeah....oookaaaay....sounds to me like your mentality is that of a chihuahua, annoying, loud, but ultimately, inconsequential, and easily swept aside.

I remember it wasn't that long ago when the GOP claimed that the Democrats were hoping for another terroist attack on American soil to prove that Bush was an idiot and not really protecting the "fatherland".

What does Osama think when he hears this? "Bush was the greatest recruiting tool I ever had - let me help McCain get in by attacking, and I'll have four more years of ready-made recruiting slogans?"

Here's what really makes me angry - that McCain's minions are wishing and hoping for a whole bunch of innocent Americans to be murdered, becasue MAYBE it will help McCain get elected.

And this is the "moral values" party, that "deserves" to be elected because they are so morally superior than "immoral, un-American" Democrats. You know, the "good Christians" that Fundamentalist preachers demand their congregations vote for, because they will uphold "Christian values."

Nobody that hopes for people to be murdered, just so they can get elected, deserves to be elected dog-catcher, let alone President of the Untied States.

Black added, "We have bin Laden on speed dial for the week before the election. It always works".

"It would be well worth the cost of a terrorist attack–just a minor one– to avoid having Barack Obama take office. All in all millions of lives could be saved."

Amazing. Such foresight on your part. Care to elaborate with facts, or are you just trolling?
I'm just curious how anyone can be so sure of future events. Those of us who aren't right-wing dipshits knew GW would be a disaster, but we certainly couldn't have imagined just how many people he would murder, and how many billions he would help his accomplices steal.
If you've got the crystal ball, can we all take a look?

I thought he was being sarcastic, really....can anyone POSSIBLY be fuckin stupid enough to actually believe that bullshit?

While the Black statement was bizarre in a political tone sense, it is a generally accepted truth.I was some what startled by the Obama's spokesman reply
People should not be attacked for stating something - however bizarre it may seem. In a perfect world the point would be made that while stupid, the statement does not mean that an attack is a hoped for event.There is no there there people.Ditto the Obama church crisis. At some point these are manufactured crisis to test(?) the political skills of campaign managers.Now if you could throw in some drowning,blown up people it may be presidential character in scope, but until then,it seems as useful as astrology.
This is a opportunity to point to what it is -the press/media as,again, creating a story they control (who what when where) for TV theatre, easy to write, easier to dance to, while real life crisis occur off screen - Iraq war,Mid west floods, slagging economic indicators. Real life once again finishes a distant second.

FYI

One year after the first World Trade Center bombing in 1994, Bill Clinton hushed up a federal report that warned of possible terrorist strikes, including how hijackers could use airliners to hit landmarks such as the Pentagon or White House.

The Clinton administration never released "Terror 2000" to the public, purportedly because of concerns in the State Department it would cause panic.

Perhaps Hillary Clinton was right when she stated that the next terrorist attack would help Republicans. Her husband never removed Saddam Hussein from power in 1998, when he signed into law "The Iraq Liberation Act" to remove Saddam Hussein from power. He had a dismal record of fighting terror,and he had 8 to 10 chances to capture or kill Bin Laden, yet he refused to give the order to have him killed.
