Fox Military Analyst: Chertoff’s ‘Gut Feeling’ Is More About ‘Politics Than Terrorism’
Fox Military Analyst: Chertoff’s ‘Gut Feeling’ Is More About ‘Politics Than Terrorism’
Yesterday, Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff said that the nation is “entering a period this summer of increased risk.” When asked for how he knows this information, he said his remarks were based on his “gut feeling.”
Today, Fox News military analyst Col. David Hunt swiftly attacked Chertoff’s remarks, stating, “I understand he’s got feelings. The problem is, the states and cities, who have to react to the Department of Homeland Security guidance, can’t do squat on his feelings. … It seems more politics, John, than terrorism.” Watch it:
Chertoff’s comments have been widely criticized by both the right and left. Today, Homeland Security Chairman Bennie G. Thompson wrote to Chertoff and asked him to clarify his comments. “Words have power, Mr. Secretary. You must choose them wisely–especially when they relate to the lives and security of the American public. … What cities should be asking their law enforcement to work double shifts because of your ‘gut feeling?’”
Hunt is not a frequent critic of the Bush administration. Quite the opposite. He has repeatedly tried to link Saddam Hussein to terrorism and in 2003, attacked the media for not portraying a sufficiently positive picture of the fighting in Iraq. Also that year, he mocked Gen. Wesley Clark’s comment that the troops didn’t have enough armored vehicles: “Excuse me. There aren’t enough armored vehicles? Wah, wah, wah.”
Transcript:
HOST: For more on Secretary Chertoff’s unusual comments and how serious the threat is, let’s turn to Fox News military analyst Col. David Hunt.
Col. Hunt, we have spent billions of dollars trying to beef up homeland security in this country, and here is the Homeland Security Secretary relying on “gut feelings”?
HUNT: Yeah, here’s an idea John. I’d make Catherine Herridge the head of homeland security, because that analysis she just gave us is what I would have expected out of Chertoff and the DHS. I think DHS is billions of dollars overspent, terribly wasted amount of money. I understand he’s got feelings. The problem is, the states and cities, who have to react to the Department of Homeland Security guidance, can’t do squat on his feelings. We spent billions of dollars not to hear Michael Chertoff’s feelings, but to protect this country from terrorism, and what he did is take a step backwards. Very disappointing he said that, and again, the state and local people can’t do anything with what he told us. It seems more politics, John, than terrorism.

July 11th, 2007 at 8:28 pmof course it is….that’s what politicians do – play politics!!
I don’t know what his goal is – probably to strike some fear into his subjects? But what I do know is quite clear – terrorists don’t attack the US because they “hate our freedoms” They attack in response to over 5 decades of American aggression, militarism and war.
This is not how to deal with terrorists – we can do something completely different; something that will make us much safer.
“How to Oppose Terrorism”

When you’ve lost Fox News, you’ve even lost the whackos.
July 11th, 2007 at 8:29 pmExcuse me. There aren’t enough armored vehicles? Wah, wah, wah.â€
Excuse me… did this clueless, idiotic schmuck really say this when American soldiers were getting maimed and crippled over this issue?
July 11th, 2007 at 8:31 pmIt was gas not in the gut. Chertoff took some gas pills and he was ok. Let’s hope none of his future medical problems get confused with an attack. Look Americans have to understand Bush has appointed idiots to top jobs and most are clue less so these things have to be expected. Connie Rice the Secretary of State is to busy to take care of the foreign affairs she’s promoting Golf. I know Powell is laughing but that’s the best she can do as no one wants to talk to her. The GOP are all getting massages and sex treatment while telling Americans that their the only elected officials with Religious morals and family values. How low can the United States go before we hit rock bottom.
July 11th, 2007 at 8:32 pmWow politicians being political. What is this world coming to.
July 11th, 2007 at 8:36 pmExactly, #5. When I have a gut feeling I wipe and flush. When these guys have gut feelings they invade the wrong country. Try some Imodium
July 11th, 2007 at 8:37 pmChertoff is FOX’s problem, not yours or mine.
July 11th, 2007 at 8:37 pmWith the Bush Doctrine of no safe havens, preemptive war and democracy in tatters, the President remains focused on staying the course in Iraq at all costs. In Washington, House Minority Leader John Boehner calls Senate GOP rebels on Iraq “wimps” and Tony Snow slanders the press corps as “defeatist.” Meanwhile, Homeland Security chief Michael Chertoff announces his “gut feeling” about the increased threat of terror attacks within the United States.
Meanwhile, the resurgence of Al Qaeda on their watch continues unabated…
For the disturbing details, see:
July 11th, 2007 at 8:39 pm“CIA: Resurgent Al Qaeda Now at Pre-9/11 Capability.”
Wow, Troll being inane, who’d have thunk it?
July 11th, 2007 at 8:40 pmThat is the problem. WTF is a politician doing heading up the Department of Homeland Security. I may be a crazy moonbat liberal, but I know that post should have somebody form the military or police leading it. It is about security, not politics.
Or are you saying that the Department of homeland security is just a political office created by the smaller government republicans.
July 11th, 2007 at 8:43 pmJust sing along: “Oh, terraism in the mornin’, terraism in the evenin’, terraism at supper time…” Nine-eleven worked out so well for the Bush gangsters, that they are dreamin’ of a repeat performance…
“9-ll changed everything” (especially when you committed high treason that fateful day…).
July 11th, 2007 at 8:49 pm- a dual citizen going with the gut. Would that be the Israeli gut or the Amerika gut? The Israeli gut is a bit sensitive and easily upset
July 11th, 2007 at 8:51 pmNot too worried about the gut right now. Terrarists can only get to the US of A to attack if they follow the troops back home.
July 11th, 2007 at 8:58 pmInstead of relying on his “gut”, why doesn’t he call Miss Cleo and find out for sure what is up.
July 11th, 2007 at 9:01 pmNot too worried about the gut right now. Terrarists can only get to the US of A to attack if they follow the troops back home.

Try not to ejaculate directly on the keyboard, ok? It will be a pain to clean up and will probably short out a few keys, which will seriously impair your ability to post here–
On second thought, never mind. You just wank away to your heart’s content.
July 11th, 2007 at 9:31 pmDuh!
Almost everything in this administration is more about politics than terrorism.
What is noteworthy is that this man said that on Fox. And that Fox actually let the broadcast proceed without spinning it. Although they still have plenty time to try.
July 11th, 2007 at 9:34 pmWhat Jerkoff’s gut may be telling him is that Islamic opinion is so inflamed by the American-inspired slaughter of innocents in Iraq that otherwise sensible Muslims are going to be pushed to act.
July 11th, 2007 at 9:36 pmDid I read that right. This was a guy on Faux Noise who said that? Wow, will wonders never cease. Do you think that Faux is finally seeing the light. Naw….
July 11th, 2007 at 9:41 pmRepublicans eating their own…delicious.
July 11th, 2007 at 9:43 pmGSD,
I’m confused. Was the Republican paying $20 for the bj from the guy? Or receiving $20 for the bj for the guy?
July 11th, 2007 at 9:44 pmBecause Republicans are used to being paid for favors.
July 11th, 2007 at 9:45 pmWe must kill all the muslims in Iraq who could try to take power!
That way we can rule over the Iraqis without having to be in that hell hole!
July 11th, 2007 at 9:46 pmWouldn’t leave a lot of people to rule over–just the second-largest oil reserves in the world.
Oh I forgot—that’s why were’re there.
July 11th, 2007 at 9:48 pmMr. Pee,
Is you philosophy doctorate going to be entitled “Why we must kill them all”?
July 11th, 2007 at 9:50 pmYes, why else would we care about it, we want our oil!
Or, we can sell it to Saudi Arabia and make sure that they give us a good deal!
July 11th, 2007 at 9:50 pmThey don’t call ‘em RePUDlickin’s for nothing.
Morally bankrupt, power hungry and delusional.

Comment by PiP — July 11, 2007 @ 9:50 pm
First – it’s not actually “ours,” unless Iraq becomes annexed as the 51st State.
Second- why would we sell it to Saudi Arabia only to have them sell it back to us? This kind of economic logic can only come from a loyal Bushie.
July 11th, 2007 at 9:53 pmNo way!
I’m interested in ancient philosophy.
July 11th, 2007 at 9:56 pmI will write about Aristotle’s Politics (Bks IV and V) and Plato’s Republic Bk III!
Probably the last time we’ll be seeing THAT guy on Fox.

It is ours!
To the victor go the spoils.. or should I say oils!
We don’t want to be there, let the Saudis run the business, meanwhile, we will get rich and have cheap oil!
July 11th, 2007 at 9:58 pmPakistan’s government is on the verge of toppling. If this happens, their nukes will fall into the hands of Muslim extremists.
They are also intentionally harboring Al-Qaeda agents.
Somebody remind me again why we so urgently need to attack Iran.
July 11th, 2007 at 9:58 pmFunny, I read some Socrates, Aristotle, and Plato and I don’t remember the “let’s kill them all” parts.

The OIL COMPANIES get the cheap oil.
WE will keep getting screwed by high prices, while they keep making record profits.
July 11th, 2007 at 10:00 pmSocrates didn’t write anything.
Plato and Aristotle didn’t say let’s kill them!
July 11th, 2007 at 10:01 pmI never said that they did!
PiP, Do the world a favor. Ever heard of Suicide?
July 11th, 2007 at 10:01 pmthink about it. with you out of the way, its possible that someone might be able to end all wars.
all you are doing is promoting more wars and more killings.

Great! So we can start bringing the troops home right now… Awesome!
July 11th, 2007 at 10:02 pmWhen they have the cheap oil and the Islamo-terrorists are dead, they can start to sell the oil for cheap!

July 11th, 2007 at 10:04 pmMy guts tell me to say “whatever Jergoff” but really, I mean, Bush is a douche and all and I really think the only reason we haven’t been struck again is due to Al Qaida rebuilding, not due to Bush’s awesome superhuman god talkin’ powers… well.. lets just say this… i’m going to be making up emergency plans and keepin a close eye on my children the summer/fall.
We’re overdue… and Bush or cheney or jergoff aren’t going to stop random people from soign randmo acts of violence.
Car bombs in America anyone? Sounds about right…
July 11th, 2007 at 10:05 pmwe will get rich and have cheap oil!
Comment by PiP — July 11, 2007
Do you own a large oil corp or something? Americans are not getting rich under Bush. Average wages have actually decreased the past six years after adjusting for inflation. First time that has happen since the Great Depression caused by twelve years of Republican rule.
In 1992 I was paying $0.95 per gallon. In 2000 I was paying $0.95 per gallon. What was it like going from 2001 to today?
Barrel of oil under Clinton $18. Barrel of oil today $70. The five biggest oil companies are loving it because it shot up the value of their reserves to $2.3 TRILLION

a in pa,
You might notice that muslims in the US will try to jihad against innocent Americans.
They will do that when they see their muslim brothers dying on TV in the Mid East!
It is part of their duty to save the Ummah, and they might think that if they jihad in the US, the muslims will stop dying in the ME.
Keep an eye out for crazy muslims, especially if you live in Philly!

You should go to the Arabian peninsula!

July 11th, 2007 at 10:13 pmNo, so WE will live.
July 11th, 2007 at 10:14 pmJPV,
Yes! If you mean we are going to blow the muslims back to the stone-age!
July 11th, 2007 at 10:15 pmYour POSTS, Kierkegaard, your POSTS. Not your texts. I was referencing “ancient”.
For someone who gleefully accused me of not reading you could use some work. But you knew that already. Maybe. Time for a name change, Pip.

July 11th, 2007 at 10:24 pmOne minute you folks are saying that the War on Terror is a sham, that these terror warnings are nothing more than neo-con scare tactics to keep the sheeple/homeland jittery….Two or three threads later it’s George Bush that’s the cause of all this terrorism – terrorism that 30 minutes earlier you said wasn’t even real.
At least half of you creeps entertain the fantasy that the Bush Administration was somehow involved in 9/11 and yet you never seem to argue amongst yourselves over these issues. It seems that hatred of Republicans, especially George W Bush, is all that binds you.
Logic be damned, Onward to defeat!

What were terrorist attacks on the US like under the Clinton administration?
According to the sixteen intelligence agencies of the USA, what we are doing in Iraq is increasing terrorism. Do Ringo and Pip know more than the sixteen intelligence agencies of the USA?
And it is costing us $2.3 Trillion. Not paid for, just piled on the debt. Is that wise?

ff,
What are talking about?
Is that the book of mormon!
July 11th, 2007 at 10:37 pmChertoff should be careful with his words. He has to back up his statements with facts. If he can’t provide facts he should not make such statements. The color code scale for threat is a joke. It is ineffective and has been used as a political tool by this White House as Olbermann showed us so effectively on his program a while ago. Chertoff and Bush should not play politics with terrorism or our efforts to keep our country safe.

The only one that you are wrong about is Stalinism. Now they’ll try to tell you that Stalin was really a rightwinger – a conservative you see – and that Communism or some other “alternative economic structure” will work just fine today..It was only because of that “rightwinger”, Joseph Stalin, that Communism failed.

When I was young enough to be in the military I was a moonbat like you.
My father was in the military and so was his father.
What’s your point?
July 11th, 2007 at 10:50 pmWhat the Hell is PRO?
July 11th, 2007 at 10:51 pmGrow up, before conversing
No one WANTS you to lose, Pip, You ARE losing. Why else would you revert to such childish arguments? Carry on.
July 11th, 2007 at 10:52 pmff,
Of course you don’t know what pro-America is!!!!
You want the USA to lose and then you will blame it on Bush!!!

So what did Bush have for breakfast? You’ve got your head so far up his ass, I’m betting you can tell us.
July 11th, 2007 at 10:55 pmProbably oj and a dead alkaida and bacon omelet!
July 11th, 2007 at 10:57 pmChertoff’s got a gut feeling? Probably colonitis.

Well, you’re the one with the best vantage point. I’ll take your word for it.
July 11th, 2007 at 11:00 pmI wouldn’t be suprised if we were targeting Iran the whole time.
If we invaded Iran and Saddam was still running Iraq he would have posed a threat.
Now that he is dead, and as soon as the insurgents are dead too, if we invade Iran, no one will try to stop us.
July 11th, 2007 at 11:04 pm#126 – Iran is not Grenada. With a volunteer military, who’s gonna volunteer for this sh+t tour after the misguided revenge fantasy in Iraq? Did Ahmadinejad try and kill Bush’s daddy too?

This is kind of a clueless post. If Saddam posted such a threat, why did the US military go thru his “army” like toilet paper? It took, what 2 weeks? As soon as the insurgents are dead?
The use of the word “insurgents” sounds tidy and neat – oh, we’ll just kill them all… but seeing as it’s a full-fledged civil war, it could go on for yrs. Oops, that’s right, it already has gone on for yrs. What are you going to do, kill the whole country? Seeing as we’ve already killed close to a million of them, maybe that’s the master plan, huh?
And “no one will try to stop us”? Except maybe the Iranians… and most of the Middle East. true, they won’t be able to stop the “Shock and Awe Machine”, more of the insanity we have in Iraq, or w/ the Palestinians?
Do you ever think before you post something THAT F-ing stupid?

What’s that – your +5 saving throw against the truth?
July 11th, 2007 at 11:15 pmThe only one that you are wrong about is Stalinism. Now they’ll try to tell you that Stalin was really a rightwinger – a conservative you see – and that Communism or some other “alternative economic structure†will work just fine today..It was only because of that “rightwingerâ€, Joseph Stalin, that Communism failed.

Surely you don’t expect a rational argument with a drug-addled idiot?
(Psst, it’s “tenet”)
July 12th, 2007 at 12:01 amChertoff just shot greyish liquid from his ass! We’re doomed! Doomed I say!
July 12th, 2007 at 12:02 amWho??? If you’re trying to refer to President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad of Iran, you’ve got the wrong country. It was Iraq.
And they didn’t try to kill him. they talked about it.
So do we, by the way.

Indeed, because I already know the information.
July 12th, 2007 at 1:24 amThose on the far right always believe that US government always act in the best interest of the people. If one were to look into history especially on Vietnam war, the incident on Gulf of Tonkin is reminder on the lies fed to the public. The US government reported that its warship was attacked by Vietnamese torpedo boat that prompted President Johnson to order an escalation on the war. What we know of today is that there was no attack on that day in the Gulf of Tonkin. It was based on lies.
The war on Iraq was also based on the same lies. It was originally sold baesd on the WMD that proved to be non-existent. As the WMD wasn’t found, a few more reasons were offered including Al-Qaeda and democracy. I cannot understand how the shifting reasons for the war can be swallowed by the Americans.
As 911 is the excuse given by the Bush administration for any bad policies or adventures abroad, why should we take the event of 911 for granted. The Gulf of Tonkin, the Reichstag Fire, Gleiwitz incident are all examples of the staged attacks to start a war. Bush Administration start off with little legitimacy and 911 was a ‘good’ disaster for them. Without 911, the Bush will not able to invade Iraq, spy on Americans, etc.
With the low public opinions, issues on the firing of prosecutors, Iraq War, many others, it is not surprising that another 911 will be a welcome event for Bush & his cabals. So it is not surprising if Chertoff is letting people know that his gut feeling was correct ( because he knows that another 911 was already in the planning and waiting for execution)
July 12th, 2007 at 2:06 amThose on the far right always believe that US government always act in the best interest of the people.
Well, they do. The examples you mention only reinforce my belief in that. Sometimes the public needs to be lied to in order to get them accept something that just has to be done.
July 12th, 2007 at 5:08 amWell, 9/11 itself seems to have been more about politics than about real terrorism too. And the war in Iraq was definately more about politics than about terrorism. Do you see a pattern here?
July 12th, 2007 at 5:28 ambush is not going to leave office, there is going to be an “event” in which he names himself supreme ruler , declares marshal law, suspends elections, north america will be one country by 2010, why is no one talking about this????

i rear-ended a guy the other day…and my GUT told meeee…he didn’t appreciate that.
i have to pay the bills today….and my GUT tells me…i MIGHT need money.
July 12th, 2007 at 9:12 amGood Morning! The trolls Pip and Ringo are not worth responding to — they make no sense and are here to bully others. The war (now occupation) in Iraq was based on lies and was therefore doomed to fail before it ever started. Our soldiers are training people who are in league with those they are fighting against – does that make sense?
Chertoff’s “gut feeling” is likely based on inside information not based on intelligence gathering but rather from the scared criminal WH regime. I agree, another event is likely being that these criminals are getting more and more backed into their corners. My “gut feeling” indicates another attack in August or September likely on the west coast because we are so blue. Then martial law will be enacted and our access to information more limited. Who will be blamed? It’s anyone’s guess — but I’m banking on Iran.
Take care all true patriots — our country needs us.

July 12th, 2007 at 2:43 pmNo one should look forward to terrorism
I understand that this goes against the conventional wisdom but Saddam Hussein had long engaged in supporting terrorism and terrorists were ALL over the Middle East, including Iraq.
This latest fear about a pending attack may or may not be more serious than past threats. Let’s hope it’s nothing though.
July 12th, 2007 at 9:08 pmAnd to #159 – I say Bushsh*t. It’s bologna, and you know it. These criminals have an agenda – and you and I and this once great nation are not in their interests. It’s the f’ing almighty dollar and power – and the people stand by and sadly watch. Perhaps we deserve what we are getting, perhaps………..Wait and see, are you ready to really fight? No, you are probably more interested in the lastest celebrity gossip or something else………..Out country is dying and the people don’t care. My great grandparents and grandparents….who built this country……..are rolling and We the People are numbed. Goddess forgive us.
