Chertoff’s ‘gut feeling.’
Today, Homeland Security Chairman Bennie G. Thompson responded to Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff’s remarks that he has a “gut feeling” that the nation faces a heightened chance of an attack this summer:
Words have power, Mr. Secretary. You must choose them wisely–especially when they relate to the lives and security of the American public. What color code in the Homeland Security Advisory System is associated with a “gut feeling?” What sectors should be on alert as a result of your “gut feeling?” What cities should be asking their law enforcement to work double shifts because of your “gut feeling?” Are the American people supposed to purchase duct tape and plastic sheeting because of your “gut feeling?”

What color code in the Homeland Security Advisory System is associated with a “gut feeling?â€
Please Mr. Chertoff…..DO NOT answer this question!
July 11th, 2007 at 1:20 pmTranslation: Support The Decider or we’ll let America get hit again.
July 11th, 2007 at 1:20 pmIndigestion? Irritable Bowel Syndrome?
July 11th, 2007 at 1:22 pmTranslation: Support The Decider or we’ll let America get hit again.
Comment by War4Sale
Who was tath Southern Repub 2 months ago who said he hoped the country got hit again just to show us how much we need a man like Bush in the WH?
July 11th, 2007 at 1:23 pmawesome!
July 11th, 2007 at 1:23 pmBush’s rating must be down today for skeletor to climb out of his box to scare us once again…Sheesh, these people are SO PREDICTABLE! How can 27% of americans possibly support this administration?
July 11th, 2007 at 1:23 pmWhen you’re full of crap, you tend to get uncomfortable gut feelings.
July 11th, 2007 at 1:24 pmGO SHOPPING!!!
July 11th, 2007 at 1:24 pmnow we just need to listen to bush about how our children and grandchildren are in so much danger and will be killed if we leave iraq. playing on the fear of idiots and some of these idiots still support bush…the lead idiot and national clown
July 11th, 2007 at 1:24 pmChertoff: “Fear fear fear fear fear fear fear fear”
July 11th, 2007 at 1:25 pmBob: Yeah I’ve got a shipment here, can you sign for it?
July 11th, 2007 at 1:25 pmTed: Sure, watcha got?
Bob: Dunno, but it’s a huge order, I gotta move it.
Ted: Whoa - what’s that smell??
Bob: Hmm? What?
Ted: That unholy reek, what is that?
Bob: Oh, that. It’s uh… well, it’s bullsh*t.
Ted: Are you serious? Who the hell ordered that?
Bob: It says here, the American people did.
Ted: No way.
Bob: Yep, right here, $50 billion worth, invoiced by one “Chertoff”
Ted: Screw that, we’re not paying for it.
Bob: Whatever, buddy. All I know is it ain’t goin’ back in the truck.
Jesus TapDancing Christ….I’ve seen more subtle pitches from extortionists.
“Nice country you have here…it’d be a shame if anything were to…happen…to it…
<wink, wink>
This is using fear to coerce people into doing what you want. and that is the very DEFINITION of terrorism.
July 11th, 2007 at 1:25 pm#4:
Arkansas GOP chief Dennis Milligan: “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 [September 11], 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.â€

Why, thank you! God, I love Google!
July 11th, 2007 at 1:29 pmIn the good ‘ol days, what did this country do with traitors like Chertoff and the entire Bush Administration?
Think about it. Then ask why it somehow fails to apply today.
July 11th, 2007 at 1:29 pmListen up people. You must choose your next words wisely or I’ll have you on the no-fly list! You got it?! No jokes!
Now, I just want to tell you that my gut feeling has nothing to do with indigestion - I eat plenty of fiber every day - or IBS. It’s just that when a guy gets to a certain age, your digestive system won’t work as well as it used to before. Now stop that snickering! It’s perfectly natural. That’s why I eat plenty of fiber and experimental CDC developed bacteria that helps with digestion. You should try the latter once it’s released to the public. I think Pfizer is going to doing it, but I digress.
So, there’s nothing wrong with my gut. It just happens to be perfectly responsive to the terrawaves emitted by the terrorist cells in America and abroad. My abdominal cavity has been perfectly shaped to receive these waves and I can reliably give you a 5-day forecast of what the Homeland Security Advisory color code will be. If you don’t trust me, you can always make a FOIA request, but since it’s pretty classified I can’t guarantee any results.
So there. Stop whining and stand by your President - or else!
July 11th, 2007 at 1:30 pmChertoff’s “gut feeling” was the headline story on the Today show this morning.
I imagine Paris Hilton’s “gut feeling” will lead tomorrow.
July 11th, 2007 at 1:30 pm13,
Exactly. These fascists are not above attacking their own countrymen to maintain their grip on power. Of course, the PNAC admitted that a “Pearl Harbor” like event would need to happen before they could implement their strategy of radical change.
But for a real eye opener, read about Operation Northwoods:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Northwoods
July 11th, 2007 at 1:32 pmI’m starting to get a feeling in my gut, too — one of extreme queasiness.
It’s obvious that the Bushies “need” a terrorist attack here in this country in order to 1) invade Iran — we’ve already established that after a terrorist attack we can invade anywhere we want, including a country having nothing to do with it; 2) fan the flames of patriotism in order to get more young people to sign up for the armed forces — or quell dissension when they have to reinstate the draft; and 3) distract the American public from the misdoings of this administration.
July 11th, 2007 at 1:32 pm#12. This is using fear to coerce people into doing what you want. and that is the very DEFINITION of terrorism.
You hit the nail on the head! When I watched this fool on TV this morning, all I could think was, “Bush needs the nation to be afraid…”, but your connecting it all to terrorism is on the spot! Thanks!
July 11th, 2007 at 1:32 pmMr. Chertoff, your boss says we must stay in Iraq or “the terrorists will follow us home”.
Is your gut telling you that the terorists are likely _beat_ us home?
– TP
July 11th, 2007 at 1:32 pmANYONE REMEMBER WHAT HIS ADORING PUBLIC DID TO MUSSOLINI AFTER THEY HAD BECOME FED UP WITH HIS CONSTANT WARFARE AND TERROR CAMPAIGN?
July 11th, 2007 at 1:34 pmThe took him and his wife out, beat them to death, and strung them up in the town square.
George, when your Zionist and corporate crony handlers guided you into this murder of American servicemembers and innocent Iraqi persons, did you ever think maybe, just maybe the tables might turn on you? You can send out your agents provocateurs and your false flag henchmen to blow up another American building or send another Democratic Congressmen some anthrax (BTW Did you EVER catch the Anthrax Terrorist? No? Hmmm…) But the public might just have enough of the nightmare you’ve spawned and turn on you the way they did Mussolini. There is always hope.
shhhh. it is a parasite infestation on a parasite
July 11th, 2007 at 1:34 pmOh, there’s that Putrid, Rotting smell of False-Flag Terrorism…
July 11th, 2007 at 1:36 pmI think he actually ment to say that he had a “nut feeling” about the threat level. That sounds more appropriate coming from a squirrely MF like Chertoff.
July 11th, 2007 at 1:37 pmHe chose his words very wisely: This morning, no talk of the Whitehouse and thier bogus “executive privilege” on the news.
No one should kid themselves, His “Gut Feeling” is designed to detract from the issues at hand.
July 11th, 2007 at 1:38 pmDear Tony,
Terrawaves are emitted all the time by all the evildoer-cells around the world, so I may pick up a few false signals once in a while, so I don’t blame you for that question. So, don’t be afraid - I won’t put you on the no-fly list. This one is, however, very real. The burning feeling in my thorax region tells me that there is a one Al Qaeda cell in the Boston region or maybe in the Los Angeles region. Terrawaves are rather long, so it’s hard to pinpoint the location of the cell.
Now, you may ask how did the terrorists get here if we’re fighting them out there. Fair enough. The answer is that since the last year’s elections, the Congress ruled by the democrats and that always creates a security risk. You know, everybody knows that the democrats are weak on the defense and that’s why the terrorists get in. I don’t know exactly how, but it’s certainly related to the democrats. And Markos Moulitas.
Love,
July 11th, 2007 at 1:38 pmMC
When I heard this last night MY gut feeling caused me to roll my eyes.
My second gut feeling was - how much damage have these shysters done that one cannot even take them seriously anymore?! What if there really was a threat? Very few would believe them and could, theoretically, be put in danger.
And speaking as a liberal, I certainly couldn’t help but recall all of the times that liberals have been accused of operating via “feelings”. Is Chertoff a liberal?
July 11th, 2007 at 1:39 pmanyone who has to sit and listen to chimp-toff’s voice for more than about thirty seconds whould be ready to launch an attack !

AMERICANS!!! IF THERE IS ANOTHER TERROR ATTACK ON AMERICAN SOIL THIS SUMMER—DON”T BELIEVE ANYTHING THE ADMINISTRATION SAYS ABOUT IT!
July 11th, 2007 at 1:41 pmAfter all the LIES they’ve told, THEY ARE BEHIND ANY ATTACK THAT COMES! Bin Laden is a CIA PAID OPERATIVE! That’s why he walks free (dragging his dialysis machine around behind him!) The beneficiaries of the Rape of Iraq are Israel, the Carlysle Group, the Big Three Oil Companies and a host of CRONY subcontractors!
The BIG LOSERS are the American republic and the Arab people of the Middle East.
3) distract the American public from the misdoings of this administration.

Don’t forget - a “terraist attack’ would also allow Chimpy’s new self-proscribed “super-super secret powers” to kick, making him “Dictator-For-Life”!!!

July 11th, 2007 at 1:49 pm“Gut Feeling”?? Didn’t Stephen Colbert do a riff on this at the Washington Correspondent’s Dinner?
“Gut Feeling” is what neo-cons say when they don’t have proper intelligence, haven’t done the research, don’t care about the facts, and generally want to appear as if they’re on top of things.
The follow-up to Gut Feelings is general amnesia. As in when things go completely wrong and Congress is asking what exactly these Gut Feelings had said. Answer: I don’t recall, I can’t remember, and That wasn’t my Gut Feeling it was my spastic colon.
July 11th, 2007 at 1:49 pmThe only thing we have to fear…
July 11th, 2007 at 1:51 pmis Chertoff’s gut.
Hey, Chertoff
July 11th, 2007 at 1:51 pmThat “gut feeling” is just that Taco Bell Burrito you ate, nothing more
Gut feeling? Jeez! At least Reagan had an astrologist.
July 11th, 2007 at 1:51 pmdavid sez:
Heh…yup, he sure did…here’s the passage:
July 11th, 2007 at 1:53 pmHomeland Security ought to do what the Romans did. Cut out Chertoff’s guts and ‘read’ his entrails.
July 11th, 2007 at 1:53 pmBetter pay attention to his gut feeling…for I fear that they might orchestrate (or allow by ignoring real intelligence) some kind of reality to coincide with that mans gut.
Codeword: guts (as in hate his)
July 11th, 2007 at 1:54 pmCheer up. Wayne.
The terrawaves may indicate red alert for the coming week or so, but at least you’ll be safe. We’ll take care of the bad guys, don’t you worry about it.

July 11th, 2007 at 1:54 pmMC
Oh, and my favorite Chertoff moment - when responding to what happened in NOLA, he said “We never calculated something like this happening.” Uhm, isn’t calculating worst case scenarios (based upon DECADES of information) your frigging job? WTF is Homeland Security for? Apparently a cushy job having to do with your inner bodily functions.
Heckova job, Chagoff, heckova job!
July 11th, 2007 at 1:57 pmThey are getting people ready with this statement folks. This attack, when it comes, will come from factions within our own government, and it will set off the presidential directive putting Bush in charge of everything.
July 11th, 2007 at 1:58 pmhttp://www.whitehouse.gov/ news/ releases/ 2007/ 05/ 20070509-12.html
They have been putting all the pieces in place for some time now. Quietly, in secret, behind the scenes. Each step further eroding the foundations of our democracy.
An attack will put us in a police state. Bush will cancel elections and declare himself ruler of his empire. We will move into Iran next (beings I am sure they will find a way to tie this ‘attack’ to Iran) and everything that we know and hold dear and sacred will change.
They are dropping hints. Bush dropped a big hint yesterday when he said that we were just starting. I think that was the most honest thing he has said in a long time. That wasn’t an accident. Neither was Chertoff’s statement.
They have been pushing the limits for a long time now, testing the will of the people and the Congress by disregarding the Constitution and our laws and rules. The testing of the water has shown them that no one will or can do anything to stop them. This is so dangerous.
If something happens here, QUESTION IT! It will incite such fear and paralyze people all over again, it will trigger all the old fear and emotions from the last attack and compound it with new fears, only this time they will go for what is left of people’s civil liberties. You can kiss the Constitution goodbye.
http://www.capitolhillblue.com/ artman/ publish/ article_7779.shtml
“Stop throwing the Constitution in my face,” “It’s just a goddamned piece of paper!” - (GW Bush)
Now worries folks Chertoff just has a little gas and mistook it for a gut feeling. It can happen to anyone. Chertoff just took a few gas pills to settle his stomach and everything is fine now. Nothing to see or hear go back to work now. As for the color? The gas was colorless.
July 11th, 2007 at 2:02 pmI have a ‘gut feeling’ too. It’s that DHS doesn’t have a clue about any real terrorist goings-on.
Oh wait, here comes another ‘gut feeling’ - DHS is trying to cover their a**es.
Oh no, a third ‘gut feeling’ in the same day - DHS has no idea how to respond to, much less prevent another terrorist attack.
July 11th, 2007 at 2:04 pmGut feeling = I got to do my best to kiss Bush’s ass and pick up on the fear mongering.
July 11th, 2007 at 2:05 pm#45,
Bush isn’t going to postpone the elections. Do you think he likes being president? As others have noted, he’s a lazy guy who really just wants a life-long vacation and some bragging rights to his buddies. As others have noted, he doesn’t really want to be president - he wants to be a former president.
July 11th, 2007 at 2:08 pmSomebody should give him a TUms it could be gas that is making his gut feel that way.
July 11th, 2007 at 2:11 pmBush isn’t going to postpone the elections. Do you think he likes being president? As others have noted, he’s a lazy guy who really just wants a life-long vacation and some bragging rights to his buddies. As others have noted, he doesn’t really want to be president - he wants to be a former president.
The assumption is that he (Bush) really IS the President. I know he has the TITLE of President. I know he has the ‘appearance’ of being the President. I think he is the ‘acting’ President in the true sense of the word ‘acting’ (as in ACTOR). I think Cheney is the REAL President (the person with the power behind the scenes making all the decisions) and Bush is the guy going through the motions and giving the speeches.
Read the book ‘VICE’ by Lou Dubose and you will have a much better understanding. Heck just read the series in the NY Times:
http://blog.washingtonpost.com/cheney/
They haven’t finished what they started yet. There is no way they are leaving office without completing the plan (of going into Iran next). Mark my words. That is why they have tried desperately to tie everything that comes up to Iran (though nothing has stuck yet). It is the same exact drumbeating that took place in the march up to the beginning of the Iraq war. They have already got all the forces and ships in place. They are just waiting for the trigger. There are many very good articles written on this by people who are much closer to it all with a lot more experience:
July 11th, 2007 at 2:19 pmhttp://www.globalresearch.ca/ index.php?context=newsHighlights&newsId=18
And I didn’t mean postpone the elections, I meant CANCEL the elections.
July 11th, 2007 at 2:19 pmAs others have noted, he doesn’t really want to be president - he wants to be a former president.
Comment by Ben B
I personally think that’s why he gets his picture taken so often while riding his stupid bicycle. It’s his way of saying, “Wahhhh… I don’t want to be President. I want to be 13 and ride my bike and blow up frogs w/ firecrackers.”
(Dick Cheney, hiding behind the drapes… “Pssst… shut up, you little whiner. Besides, you’re not the President. I’M the President, and don’t you forget it! Now get out there and shill for me…”)
July 11th, 2007 at 2:19 pmComments ex-Senator Rick Santorum made very recently on the Hugh Hewitt radio show. I quote you:
“In an alarming display of fearmongering, former Republican Senator Rick Santorum has suggested that a series of ‘unfortunate events,’ namely terrorist attacks, will occur within the next year and change American citizen’s perception of the war.
“Santorum went on to clearly imply that terror attacks will occur inside America which will alter the body politic and lead to a reversal of the anti-war sentiment now dominating the country.â€
July 11th, 2007 at 2:26 pmI think Bush likes nothing better than to thumb his nose at someone when they tell him no. NOBODY tells him what he can or can’t do. I wonder if anyone has EVER told him no..
July 11th, 2007 at 2:26 pmI read once that early in his political career, after a speech, on the drive home he asked Laura what she thought of it and she gave him some honest constructive criticism. When they reached the house, he drove the vehicle THROUGH the garage door and into the back wall. She never criticized him again..
Turtle mentioned indigestion, and Irritable Bowel Syndrome. Just call Chertoff “diarrhea mouth.”
This is like a TV preacher saying that his ministry can’t pay the light bill, and please send in more money. Then he walks to the parking lot and drives off in his $100,000 Mercedes.
Frankly, I have all kinds of gut feelings. You know! George W. Bush is going to spend the rest of his life in jail.
July 11th, 2007 at 2:27 pmWhich means what? Oh, you mean that Bush and Cheney are gonna let us get hit again so they can come up with a reason to call upon Martial law? Is that what you gut feelings are? Or does your gut tell you that Cheney is gonna order some more anthrax letters sent out to congress to stop the investigations?
July 11th, 2007 at 2:30 pmPlease explain to me - if the events were so all-fired important, why has it taken almost a week since the events to lead to even having a meeting about them ?
July 11th, 2007 at 2:31 pm“Ex-Senator Rick Santorum on the Hugh Hewitt radio show…”
Comment by .
Sweet tapdancing Jesus… one complete idiot talking to another!
July 11th, 2007 at 2:32 pmHere’s a senior administration official stating he believes something he and his department are designed to prevent is going to happen.
So be it.
If it happens, on his watch, that means he was personally responsible for failing to lead his employees in a way that gets the job he was hired to do done.
In other words, it will be time for him to go. And then it will be time to someone else in place. Maybe this time the Senate will do their job and ensure the person selected is a competent professsional, and not a crony of the bush crime family, as chertoff is.
July 11th, 2007 at 2:33 pmThis is the precise reason we have to rid our government of every last neo-con. If Bush’s approval rating goes any lower they’ll manufacture/allow (another?) spectacular attack to boost his ratings and allow him to assume dictatorial powers.
If a Democrat gets elected President they’ll do the same and then run in 2012 on security. The neo-cons are so dangerous because they’re sociopathic. They’re like a cancer. If you don’t rid your body of every cancerous cell the disease comes back. We must educate the public who these people are and what they’re about. That’s the only way to flush them completely from our government.
July 11th, 2007 at 2:44 pmThis from a man who has 25% of positions in his department vacant.
Much like the State Dept, who can’t get any ‘career diplomats’ to go over & hide out in the green zone.
Bottom line? They’re chickenhawks & chickenshits.
July 11th, 2007 at 2:51 pm** So “gut feelings” mean the United States should be on alert, but “bin Laden Determined to Attack Inside the United States” required NO RESPONSE? **

July 11th, 2007 at 3:37 pmTranscript of a Neo-con job interview:
Applicant: BOO!
Interviewer: You’re Hired!
July 11th, 2007 at 3:43 pmHey TP. Thanks so much for censoring my earlier post.
Any of you wanna explain what was so objectionable about it? I’d REALLY like to know.
July 11th, 2007 at 3:48 pm#70: Heh. It’s funny. I’ve been trolling here for a long time and I’ve never had a post deleted.
July 11th, 2007 at 4:00 pmChertoff looks like good candidate to play the next Dracula.
July 11th, 2007 at 4:21 pmThat is probably one of the scarier comments to come from anyone within the Bush administration. And that’s saying a lot. A gut feeling? More like a threat. I hate to think that this government would be willing to sacrifice innocent lives in order to maintain power and control. But, with Blackwater private military troops waiting in the wings to curtail “unrest” that would certainly occur after a large-scale “attack”… it seems more probable than most people would like to admit. I wish more people would take Chertoff’s comment for what it really is- a thinly veiled threat against the American people.
July 11th, 2007 at 4:39 pmA good commentary by James Mulvaney:
http://news.yahoo.com/ s/ huffpost/ 20070711/ cm_huffpost/ 055777
July 11th, 2007 at 5:03 pmFunny thing Skeletor, I have a gut feeling too, only mine is that a corrupt and treasonous Bush administration, in an act of balls-to-the-wall desperation is going to engineer, or by omission of action allow to be engineered, a horrifying act of terrorism on U.S. soil, in an attempt to justify the destruction of what remains of our republic. But I have a gut feeling that not all Americans are going to go along with the plan. I sure as hell won’t. Put that in your colon and smoke it. LIVE FREE OR DIE.
July 11th, 2007 at 5:54 pm#70, I’d change the script just a little:
July 11th, 2007 at 5:58 pmInterviewer: BOO!
Applicant: HELP! HELP! TERROR! Take our freedom! We should all follow our adored leader!
Interviewer: Oh, you’re good. It’s Homeland defense for you!
Folks, you are a scary bunch.. ;) , but, the real scare is that within all this rhetoric is truth. If one follows the adage, “follow the money”, one can see what should be feared. The alignment of events to serve an ‘end’ is visible. When this next event occurs, it is, and has been, expected that opposition will rise. That has already been taken care of in planning for civil unrest. Not only is homeland security available to hold off the masses, but, so is a private army, blackwater. Interesting that blackwater is headed by someone with ties to fundamentalist here isn’t it. Fundamentalist here, fundamentalist there, …fundamentalist used to support movements everywhere! PRESSURE YOUR REPRESENTATIVES NOW BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE!! Also, support those who express and actively oppose this ‘access by evil’ group. Ron Paul is a good start.
July 11th, 2007 at 7:16 pmSo glad to see people speaking out on this issue…Chert-ie has clearly shown what he is all about -FEAR- and that is what this entire administration has been about…it is time to try and bring them down. Truth is what these people are afraid of so we need to spread as much of it as we can. We won’t get it from the evening news that’s for sure..all the news is about is lip service and selling cars drugs and lies. for now I gotta run.. I think I hear the Gestopo… I mean homeland security knocking at my door….HELP!! Oh No! It’s Cherti-ie!!
