Chertoff should be fired
By John Amato Monday Jul 09, 2007 10:20pm
Remember when Chertoff blamed the media for his failing during Hurricane Katrina?

What gives Chertoff the right to tell the country that he has a "gut" feeling that we're going to be hit with a terrorist attack this summer?
"Summertime seems to be appealing to them," he said of al-Qaeda. "We do worry that they are rebuilding their activities."
Still, Chertoff said there are not enough indications of an imminent plot to raise the current threat levels nationwide. And he indicated that his remarks were based on "a gut feeling" formed by past seasonal patterns of terrorist attacks, recent al-Qaeda statements, and intelligence he did not disclose. There is an assessment "not of a specific threat, but of increased vulnerability," he added.
The administration said they had proof Iraq was going to nuke us so we could invade them. Better get Jack Bauer on the case. He's supposed to protect us and make sure that doesn't happen. Where does he get off inciting fear throughout this country? He's not employed to tell us his feeling or his inner child. He should be instructing all of Homeland Security to be on high alert and not try to scare the beejesus out of America.
This is a calculated move to ratchet up the terror in this country to help Republican candidates---PERIOD. They are far behind in raising money and in all the polls. He should be fired, but of course since he's being instructed to say these things (sounds like a Cheney/Rove play) he won't be. What a tool...Update: I forgot about Tom Ridge's phony terror alerts ...This White House will never stop lying to us.
fuck mikey nazi HLS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
FIRE HIS ASS NOW!!!
See my blog in regards to this statement from M.Jerkoff
I am Zombie man, OBEY!
these a-holes have been wrong about everything.
BOO......Rove calls another play.
Chertoff will say anything to scare the mouth-breathers into giving their last few freedoms away
i have a gut feeling that perhaps today i ate to much cuke salad,, must i declare this as a stiigmy as a deju jov?
folks here in eruope arent eveing laughing anymore!
because we know just what morons and idiots you americans have to deal with day by day(GOOD SONG BY THE HOOTERS)
MIKEY JERKOFF is leading the american ppl by the nose, with either one finger stuck inside or a rather large fish hook shoved into the mouth.
HEY NOW HEY NOW;; DONT DREAM ITS OVER; HEY NOW ,,,you know the rest of the words!!
and with that,, i shall gather my baker cap and gear and fire up the ovens and pray my new guy shows up !!
later C&L!!!!!!! mitt best regards,,
the baker.
oh and i am a american auch!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Is this the best "Look! Something Shiny!" they can do?
For a Machiavellian administration like this, it's pretty pathetic.
Chertoff who?
So who will get the blame if this were to happen?
Gut Feeling? He's angling to get booked on Colbert.
Nobody gives a rat-fuck what The Skull has to say. HIs 'Dept.of Homeland Security' is leaderless...a joke...merely a means to pay off ReThuglican bagmen for their illegal activities.
Did I mention Katrina?
Well NOLA is still sitting...not rebuilt...the levees...well hell the levees are fit to break again.
This asshole should be hauled in front of Congress...Oh, wait that's HoJo's committee.
Thanks Harry...thanks a lot.
A Karl Rove Solution for Iraq? http://tinyurl.com/3cd6yn
This is an excuse for,and a prelude to the imposition of martial law.
[deleted--do not EVER advocate violence on this site.]
I would bet money that they will cause something like 9/11 to try and hold onto power as long as they can. They need the next people in office to at least not HANG them... So maybe they will decalre the war powers act and voila he doesn't have to leave office and you don't have to leave home...
ARGHHHHHH........ make it stop mommy !
Forget about firing him. [deleted--do not advocate violence on this site] until he reveals all that he knows.
I mean, just look at that guy, the shifty eyes, the darkish complexion, he has to be one of them... How better to plan a terror attack than to have the ultimate mole in our government? Think about it! Why has DHS been so shoddy in its response to all that has happened?

We're going to begin with an important development this morning in the war on terror. We are standing by for comments from Homeland Security chief Tom Ridge. An administration official tells CNN he's going to tell Americans that al Qaeda is believed to be in a new operational phase and plans to strike the U.S. before the November election.
Aired July 8, 2004
I have a gut feeling my male bovine fecal matter detector has gone off.
This news story is so silly. How can this loser Chertoff know that al Queda is 'rebuilding' and planning a summer attack? So if 9/11 and 7/7 hapened during the summer, it is foregone conclusion that we will be attacked this summer? This has shades of the summers 2002 and 2004 when the GOP was ratcheting up the alerts frequently. It shouldn't work this time.
The abandoned red piece of luggage found in Times Square was supposed to be a big story this afternoon. Yahoo News had a big red alert on their front page for about a minute. Then it was taken down. Ditto with the Oakland airport terminal scare. Nice try.
And look at the wire story in question. At the bottom, it gives examples of summertime al Qaeda plots. Note that the second one is the bullshit liquid bomb scare from last year, which came about partially because of Ned Lamont's victor over Lieberman in the CT primary. Um, 9/11 was a summer attack (albeit, post Labor Day). Why the hell isn't it listed as a historic example.
This story is worthless. I don't care of an incompetant Bushie says he is worried. That means nothing.
Holy Cow, Chertoff does look like an Iraqi. Someone check his papers.
The wire story
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070711/ap_on_go_ca_st_pe/summer_terror_thre...
Skelator speaks---and no one listens.
Why would anyone think the GOP is security?
E.g.:
Judging by the nearly 3000 murders and the tens of billions of dollars in damage on 9/11, it is obvious that the GOP fucked up bad?
Fuck the M$M for perpetuated the bullshit that the GOP better at security.
put chertoff's face on the statue of liberty and we will never have to worry about terrorists ever again.
I'm not sure how this helps Republican candidates 16 months before the general election.
Loook at Chertoff's picture...now imagine it with 2 crossbones in front of it.

Here is a documentary called "Terror Storm". Please verify all of the facts claimed in this film for yourself. It's a mindblowing piece. It changed my entire thought process and raised serious questions. Every American should see this film.

My gut feeling is that they are using the fear tactics again. I'll bet my gut feeling is better than his.
And with this , its overtime for Cavuto and Faux friends.
But, but, I thought we were fighting them there to stop this sort of thing. Unless we are letting them fight us here while we stop fighting them there and we sneak up behind them over here. I guess we can leave cardboard cutouts to fool them into thinking we are still there, while we are in fact now all here. Wont they be surprised. I knew we could trust the decider.
"Chertoff should be fired"
That is an understatement! And not just him!
[...] Dosh Dosh Problogger TMZ.com guykawasaki Passionate Crooks and Liars [...]
I licked my finger and held it to the wind and I had the same feeling. Terror's a blowin' in. Mama, get yer gun!
Chertoff must own stock in the airline industry, because prices have sky rocketed lately, he's probably just ensuring he gets a big sell off in the upcoming weeks.
Paul Simon's "Slip Sliding Away," seems to reach me on many levels.
A Republican State Party Chairman Wishes More Terrorist Attacks on U.S. to Prove George W. Bush "Right"
Submitted by BuzzFlash on Thu, 06/07/2007 - 7:48am. Editorials
A BUZZFLASH EDITORIAL
There’s been a bit of commentary on the net about a statement by the Chairman of the Arkansas Republican Party in which he calls for terrorist attacks on the United States to prove that Bush’s anti-terrorism policies are necessary.
Okay, you don’t believe us? You think that this is BuzzFlash hyperbole?
Here’s the money quotation, right here:
"At the end of the day, I believe fully the president is doing the right thing, and I think all we need is some attacks on American soil like we had on [Sept. 11, 2001], and the naysayers will come around very quickly to appreciate not only the commitment for President Bush, but the sacrifice that has been made by men and women to protect this country," Milligan said.
Bush and Cheney brought down the twin towers...or at the very least knew it was going to happen and let it happen to use it as justification to go into Iraq. Now like scared cornered jackals these warmongering killers are in a corner therefore more dangerous that ever before. Chertoff's gut feeling is probably a secret meeting with Cheney in an undisclosed location telling him of his next terror plot against America to help the GOP.
I. Put. Nothing. Past. These. Sons. Of Bitches. Anymore......Period.
If there is another attack on U.S. soil in will be perpetrated by the Bush cartel!
I'm betting another Pearl Harbor incident. If something does happen, it probably will be orchestrated by the administration.
This guy is an embarrasment! Compared to him, Brownie did a heckuva job!
He has dual American & Israeli citizenship...doesn't like to comment on it.
This is to create public fear in order to promote support for Bush's war.
Sgt. Joe Friday can work off a hunch ... Not the chief of fatherland security!
I got a hunch rove is behind this one. . .
Big Dan @ 44:
That's not what I heard. He is an American citizen and a proud native of the seventh circle of hell.
Chertoff is a knob!
Time to buy some duct tape:
http://tinyurl.com/ynpa5c
So I see the color-coded system of scaring the hell out of Americans for no reason other than to boost approval ratings has now been replaced by the Chertoff Gut Index.
For what it's worth, CNN is giving this administration a real flogging tonight. They've covered everything from the cost of the war in Iraq to health care. Maybe Moore talked some sense into them.
Its not a lie if you believe it.
The GOP mantra: "We have nothing but fear itself"
What the hell is this hobgoblin talking about? Aren't we fighting them over there (Iraq) so we don't have to fight them over here? We should we be worried about an attack?
OxyCon @ 39:
Yes, Santorum is talking the same way as well. These guys prayed for 9-11 to happen. And Judy Giuliani is the biggest 9-11 parasite of all. Fuck fear. I'm sick of this shit.
Big Dan @ 44:
Big Dan, Slumming @ C/L ? ? ?
Don't forget - Pat Robertson predicted a "Horrific" Terrorist Attack on U.S. in 2007. Maybe he's Chertoff's source.
#55. I predicted Jerry Falwell was going straight to hell and I was right too!
Bush had the same feeling when he first ran for president. Of course his gut was being tickled by God when he said,
"God wants me to be president. Something is going to happen. I can't explain it..."
I'm more concerned about the next terrorist attack on our laws and constitution by this criminal regime than I am about Al-Queda.
Ryan @ 51:
From "Orwell Rolling In His Grave," Fox producer says if you didn't hear it, did it happen?
Many of us have a 'gut-feeling' that Chertoff is the point man for the coming Rovian/ Cheney 'terrorist attack' necessary to allow the Bush regime to declare martial law and take over completely.
They cannot POSSIBLY believe that they can orchestrate such an attack and get away with it!?!?
I put NOTHING past this criminal cabal.
Put a turbin on Chertoff's head and he looks like fucking Osama bin-Laden's twin brother.
So this time, am I supposed to buy duct-tape,n gas mask, or geiger counter? Replace the batteries in my smoke detector? Arm my wife? Take the train, bus or drive instead of fly? Stay away from tall buildings? Build a bomb shelter? Buy body armor? Don't eat spinach?
What?
Don't just leave me hanging like this.
Maybe Chertoff knows and it's not a feeling; say no more, say no more, know whatahmean, nudge nudge?
Bush needs a terror strike. Then consider his character and credibility as he's revealed it to us.
There's some context for Chertoff's/Santorum's et al comments of late. Worry.
...
The man is a tool! Go figure, when it gets hot on them.........................wow, the terroralert , I finally think people are waking up.
ldzppln @ 56:
Yeah, Pat gets all of info from that 500 ft jesus.
Yes. We are fighting them over there so we don't have to fight them over here, unless of course they miraculously attack us (on a large scale) in `07 here at home, for then we will be "at war" until "we know" where Bin Laden's located and we pledge to take him out... and then go to war with Iran and declare it is the new central front on the war on terror and Bin Laden is forgotten about... until... in 2011, after four years of quadruple fronted wars in Iran and Iraq, Syria, Israel, and Russia and three years of Code
OrangeRed daily alerts, we get hit again and declare war on Lithuania or Georgia or Siberia....And President Murdoch changes our country's name to ChinUSa.John in NY @ 27:
Look, it makes absolutely zero sense to warn a country as large as the United States that there could be a terrorist attack.
a) you think we aren't already aware that might be a possibility?
b) the people in 98% of the U.S. land mass are utterly unthreatened, since terrorists would never strike outside the cities (i.e. where there's no chance of mass casualties).
c) unless you know where and when, there's nothing you can do to avoid it
d) they've already made the proper authorities aware any "spike in activity" or "heightened alert." Why does every single person need to know?
Therefore, it's designed to remind people "why we're in this war on terror" and why we need to "stay the course" (i.e. scare them to death for political gain (i.e. to bolster support for their losing strategy (i.e. to keep the last couple Republicans from jumping off the SS Dumbfuck and swaying the vote))).
You don't need an upcoming election to use this kind of fear propaganda to your political gain. How do you think we ended up in Iraq?
BTW, what brilliance led them to believe, "Summertime seems to be appealing to them"? Was it the amazing insight that there are more people outside during the summer? Or that terrorists are from warmer climates and therefore would be too uncomfortable to execute an attack during the colder months? Wow, are these guys smart!
Another worthless thug of the Bush Crime Family...did they ever get anything right in the past? Why do we believe anything these thugs tell us? Chimpeachment is the answer to all this bullshit.
JessWonderin @ 68:
LOL, We should have our own show.
BillD @ 14:
That was actually my first thought also. If any idiots would try it it's these idiots.
Politics really do make strange bedfellows. Think about it. You got the neocon Jews in bed with the Christian extremist who believe the Jews are going to burn in hell since they don't believe Jesus Christ is their savior and convert to Christianity. As soon as the Bush-type Christians are through using the neocon Jews as their war for profit tools, they will turn on them like the wolves they are. The neocons jew would be the new commies, blacks, gays, immigrants, islamofascists...once the Christian extremist have gotten their mileage out of them.
Is this guy a 150 year old mummy? His face is emotional abuse, talk about the ugly inside seeping out.
Big deal timmeh, NO was 2 years ago. What did you do back then, where were your hard questions then? Where's your coverage of the administration dropping the ball and not picking it up to this day?
Maybe we should evacuate San Francisco and Los Angeles, there might be an earthquake.
Kansas might have a tornado.
Arizona might have flash floods?
What a crock of shit with that turd floating on top.
this empty-headed sunuvabitch
had to be interviewed on television to discover that
NOLa was under water after Katrina
his Homeland Security dept. kept the Red Cross
from distributing aid in NOLa
after Katrina
now he has this gut feeling.
I think some pepto will help him with that.
maybe some anthrax will show up again and he can do what he always does about it or any other problem... NOTHING!!
what he said sounds a lot like cheney warning about voting for democrats in 2004 and 2006.
Chertoff is telling you what he and the Bushies already know - a "terrorist attack" will happen this summer and the United States of Lemmings will scurry into their Wii and iPod bunkers, pleading for the Big Man to make it all go away whilst throwing money and civil liberties at him. "Please take it all! We were wrong!!"
Wake up, America.

I say this White House started lying to us on Sept 11 and never stopped.

Before that.
Wait - this is the head of "Homeland Security" saying "We are about to get hit and we aren't able to stop it". So what the fuck are we paying you for then Mikey? And if we did get hit, would the response be about the same quality as Katrina's?
Dude, if you can't stop it, resign now.
Good post about Chertoff "The Whistler" on Larisa Alexandrovna's blog that sheds some light on this scumbag's gut feelings...and his past legal defense of Pakistani arms traders...

Why does our director of homeland security resemble a zombie from Dawn of the Dead?

Data on Americans Mined for Terror Risk
Former Senator Rick Santorum was on Hugh Hewitt's show Saturday and pretty much said the same thing. Today, senior intelligence officials told Brian Ross of ABC news that a small Al Queda cell is on its way or is already here. Pretty clear to me that George Bush has a plan to resurrect his failed Presidency. It should be very very interesting to see if the media gets behind him this time or not, should there be an attack.
If there is a terrorist attack, which I sincerely hope there isn't, it will be 2 attacks under Bush's watch. Let's not forget the GOP controlled Congress and president still failed to implement all of the 9/11 recommendations to improve our security in this country. Also, the GOP was going to even sell off our ports foreign entities in Dubai which meant very few barrels would be throroughly checked for bombs, etc. How about the overextension of the military that has taken our National Guard troops overseas when their main jobs are supposed to protect the people of their individual states.
The only thing I'm afraid of is that Cheney needs a reason to bomb
and he needs to find that reason fast. He could allow a reason.
Santorum and Chertoff predicting an attack? How is it the Rethuglicans have the inside track on the next attack but the Democrats don't? Seems to me it can be one of only 2 choices:
A) They are lying (gasp!) and fearmongering (gasp again!)
B) They are setting it up or just simply wishfull thinking for an attack to help the GOP.
Either is equally probable with these cretins.
This guy doesn't exactly inspire confidence. Never has. He should have been canned with Brownie dropped the ball.
Chertoff has the destruction of an entire American city on his hands.
I've got a gut feeling Chertoff and all of his cronie friends in the white house will be going to jail for a long long time :)
How I Spent My Summer Vacation
by M. Chertoff:
Mornings, I spent fearmongering, and afternoons I'd go play golf w/my buddy Satan. Evenings I read up on Armaggedon, then get to bed so as to fearmonger bright and early.
