Despite Lacking ‘Specific Information,’ Townsend Claims Al Qaeda May Target 2008 Elections
Despite Lacking ‘Specific Information,’ Townsend Claims Al Qaeda May Target 2008 Elections
The 2008 elections are still a year away, but this morning outgoing Homeland Security Adviser Frances Fragos Townsend told CNN that al Qaeda may target the presidential elections. She said that while there is currently no “specific information,” “we know that Al Qaeda views these periods as being a particularly vulnerable period.” Watch it:
In the past, the administration has never let a lack of evidence stop it from baselessly claiming that terrorists are interested in manipulating U.S. elections. Some White House rhetoric preceding the 2006 midterm elections:
And I interpreted this as that the terrorists are actually involved and want to involve themselves in our electoral process, which must mean they want a change. [Vice President Cheney, 10/17/06]
There’s certainly a stepped up level of violence, and we’re heading into an election. … They are trying to not only kill American troops, but they’re trying to foment sectarian violence. [President Bush, 10/18/06]
[I]t is possible, although we don’t have a clear pathway into the minds of terrorists, it is possible that they are trying to use violence right now as a way of influencing the elections. [Then-White House Press Secretary Tony Snow, 10/19/06]
As 2008 approaches, look out for more claims that voting for progressives would empower the terrorists.
Transcript:
ROBERTS: Let me ask you this question. First of all, you’re leaving with concerns about what might happen here next year. The terrorists could possibly target the U.S. elections. What do you know that we should be worried about?
TOWNSEND: Well, it’s not that we know that there’s a specific threat, John. What we do know is we saw the Madrid train bombings just before the elections in Spain. After Gordon Brown took office, we saw the bombings at Glasgow. So, we know that Al Qaeda views these periods as being a particularly vulnerable period. We don’t have any specific information, but given our experience and what we know, I believe we’ve got a real obligation to prepare for that transition between the election and the inauguration in a special way. This would be the first transfer of presidential power since September the 11th. And so, we’ve already begun the planning process for that.

You have to wonder just what Frannie knows since she’s attempting to become prophetic here.
November 20th, 2007 at 12:03 pmhey, that sounds like a great opportunity to declare martial law & “postpone” elections…for our own safety, of course!
November 20th, 2007 at 12:04 pmI’ll bet she knows plenty and her big mouth just couldn’t resist the temptation to “go out in style” by suggesting that she’s on top of her game, which we know, unequivocally, that she has not been.
November 20th, 2007 at 12:04 pm#2 You got it! Precisely what I was thinking – except, that now that the cat is out of the bag, it definitely will not work as another Bush stunt, aka false flag.
November 20th, 2007 at 12:05 pmUmmmm….She is answering a specific question from a reporter and twice explicitly states in the course of her response that there is no specific threat or information.
Reasonable response to a question posed to her.

November 20th, 2007 at 12:06 pmOSAMA/BUSH WORKING FOR THE SAME GOALS
1 – Both have policies which will ultimately bankrupt the US
2 – Both have fighters in the Middle East giving their lives to insure that Muslim Theocracies thrive.
November 20th, 2007 at 12:07 pmAnd unnamed sources confirmed that the Flying Spaghetti Monster known also as RAGU will be making an appearance around election time next year.
November 20th, 2007 at 12:07 pm“al Qaeda may target the presidential elections”
November 20th, 2007 at 12:08 pmYeah Fran. They also “may” bring ice cream Fridays back at the White House. Anything is possible. Probable, not so much.
Exely, you haven’t joined the Great War for World Freedom yet?

November 20th, 2007 at 12:09 pmPresident Bush needs to declare martial law and stay in office until the threat has decreased.
Well, our resident chickenfascist chimes in!
November 20th, 2007 at 12:09 pmRumor has it Al Qaeda will target the 2008 elections, but they are focusing first on the alderman race in Biloxi Mississippi first.

November 20th, 2007 at 12:10 pmA lot more scary than Al-Queida is having a WAR CRIMINALS as leaders of government, and having a mercenary army being formed under this government! Wake up america! You will be known as FSA (THE FACISTS STATES OF AMERICA).
November 20th, 2007 at 12:11 pmI don’t even think Daryll’s superiors agree with his statement.
November 20th, 2007 at 12:14 pmAnd why would Al Queda have to attack us? W is doing more to destroy America than anything AQ could dream of.
November 20th, 2007 at 12:15 pmPresident Bush needs to declare martial law and stay in office until the threat has decreased.
Comment by Daryll
But the threat of terrorism will always exist. You know that, I know that. Which means that there would be no end to martial law and no end to Bush as president. I’m sure you would like that, but you do realize that we would at that point no longer at point be a democratic nation.
Sooooo… you are advocating we stop being a democratic nation?
(I hope you were able to follow my logic, I kept it as simple as possible)
November 20th, 2007 at 12:15 pm…IT SOUNDS TOO MUCH LIKE “MUSHROOM CLOUDS, STOKPILES OF WMD” TO ME… ONE CAN NEVER TRUST AN AMERICAN OFICIAL SAYING ANYTHING THESE DAYS! ONE CAN NOT TRUST THE US FOR THA MATTER… ASK HER IF SHE GOT THIS INFORMATION FROM THE SAME “FALTY” INTELIGENCE FROM THE PRE-WAR PERIOD, OR IF SHE GOT IT FROM CHENNEY’S OFFICE!?!
November 20th, 2007 at 12:15 pmNo fear.

November 20th, 2007 at 12:16 pmYeah Franny, funny how there was terrorist bombings the day that Congress was to vote on extending the Patriot Act. Yeah that timing is everything. Glad to see she had a chance to plug the terrorists before she leaves office.
November 20th, 2007 at 12:16 pmBush may be reconsidering his plan to suspend/postpone elections to prevent dastardly acts (and stay in power under emergency circumstances–Nixon had Rand Corp study the same thing years ago). Dubya needs to catch up with his buddies Putin and Busharraf.
November 20th, 2007 at 12:16 pmA classic Townsend moment came in this exchange with CNN’s Ed Henry:
HENRY: You know, going back to September 2001, the president said, dead or alive, we’re going to get [Osama Bin Laden]. Still don’t have him. I know you are saying there’s successes on the war on terror, and there have been. That’s a failure.
TOWNSEND: Well, I’m not sure — it’s a success that hasn’t occurred yet. I don’t know that I view that as a failure.
My own favorite quote was when she defended the use of torture by the Bush administration by reassuring us that when the prisoner gives up information, the torture stops. Errr, yes. That’s the whole point of torture, isn’t it? In her farewell letter, she compared George W. Bush to George Washington. Ugh.
November 20th, 2007 at 12:16 pmBush on 01 Nov 2008: “due to the threat of a terrorist attack, I am invoking martial law, suspending the Constitution, and cancelling the elcections until further notice under the unitary executive authority.
November 20th, 2007 at 12:16 pmSorry, I am supporting a contract that is not up for re-compete until the year 2016.
Comment by Daryll — November 20, 2007 @ 12:13 pm
And you actually believe that the Pentagon wouldn’t cut your funding to support the war effort if funding is cut off?
Dream on. BTW, why is your contract more important than supporting the troops?
November 20th, 2007 at 12:17 pmShe doesn’t even have any information.
How are we “vulnerable” around election time?

He does? Great! Do you think he’s going to start with the crumbling infrastructure, the outdated electrical grid, or the decimated emergency response system?

I think he’s going to have a sudden change of heart, a la the Grinch, and magically restore all those fundamental US freedoms which 9-11 and a credulous nation allowed him and his ilk to brutally sodomize.

Come on Ex! You know the drill. To use her reasoning, anything is possible. At any time, for any reason. She knows that the 24%r’s love to hear this stuff because it gives them hope their boy king will remain on the throne.
Actually, she is doing what Bush wants: constant fear through nebulous examples of “possibilities”. No threat should be no words. No threat should garner no attention. No threats should provide a forum for further scare tactics. Why not say “We have nothing to fear, but fear itself?”.
The longer the religous zealots remain in the WH, the weaker America becomes.

Comment by Daryll — November 20, 2007 @ 12:13 pm
Which pretty much disproves Daryll’s story about working on government contracts. For one, he doesn’t reference a fiscal year and for two, no government agency in the country has contracts that run nine years into the future.
November 20th, 2007 at 12:27 pm9/11 has proven that we know how to solve a crisis issue.
Comment by Daryll — November 20, 2007 @ 12:24 pm
Right, invade a middle eastern nation that had nothing to do with 911 and spend five years there getting our troops killed.
November 20th, 2007 at 12:27 pmProve What?
Get back to work, you work for the taxpayers who fund your gummint contract.
In order to maintain freedom, we must be vigilant against terrorism.
Comment by Daryll — November 20, 2007 @ 12:24 pm
True, but we should be vigilant against all other types of crime as well, not just politically-motivated crime.
November 20th, 2007 at 12:27 pm“Based on the comments of the Democratic Presidential Candidates, your party has proven that you will capitulate to terrorist organizations.”
Thus Daryll demonstrates his basic inability to grok the word “prove” (or “proof,” “proven,” whatever).
As is so often the case, even the most fundamental and/or simple logical concepts are lost on those like Daryll. Logic gives people who operate on “gut feelings” a profound stomach-ache.
November 20th, 2007 at 12:28 pmNo democratic government would suspend elections simply because of unrest… just ask our good buddy Pakistan…..
um… nevermind
November 20th, 2007 at 12:28 pmDoes anyone disagree that the terrorist will be for anyone who wants us to retreat on the war on terror?
November 20th, 2007 at 12:29 pm“we know that Al Qaeda views these periods as being a particularly vulnerable period.â€
WTF is that supposed to mean? God these people are stupid.

November 20th, 2007 at 12:30 pmDarryl – America was attacked on September 11, 2001. The preznit said the country will not live in fear because of it. Only thing is people like you live in fear. You’d rather sacrifice democracy and tremble under your desk than be free. Pathetic.

Is this a namejacking? The “Daryll” who normally posts here posts from a decidedly conservative viewpoint, he supports the president and the war in Iraq, he condemns gay marriage, and loves to quote the bible. But I’ve never seen him post anything as outrageous (and stupid) as this.
November 20th, 2007 at 12:32 pmPerhaps Darryll ought to ask his good friend Jesus to give him some courage.
And maybe a brain. And a heart.

Comment by Daryll
This utterly rediculous.
1) “capitulate to terrorist organizations” is very vague. Democrats intend to fight terrorists. They won’t on the other hand invade countries that have NOTHING to do with the GWOT(further inciting more terrorrism)
2)You can’t protect democracy by giving it up
You are so sadly, sadly deluded. let me explain something to you. I’ll keep it as simple as possible:
Terrorrists can NEVER take away your freedom, all they can ever do is make you a little less secure. ONLY your ELECTED OFFICIALS can ever take away your liberties and your freedom.
November 20th, 2007 at 12:35 pm…………but given our experience and what we know ,I believe weve got a real obligation to prepare for ………………………. the end of democracy by the worst criminals history has known since stalin died .
November 20th, 2007 at 12:35 pmTREASON !
Does anyone disagree that the terrorist will be for anyone who wants us to retreat on the war on terror?
Comment by Roger_Roger — November 20, 2007 @ 12:29 pm
Yes. The goal of groups such as al-Qa’ida and al-Qa’ida in Iraq is to bankrupt us through a prolonged deployment. This is how they defeated the Soviet Union. This is how they will defeat us as well.

Comment by Daryll
I am sorry Daryll, not only are you a traitor to your conuntry, but you are also suborning treason. Martial law may only be declared in the event that civil society has ceased to function within the United States. The courts are open, the government and legilative branches are in operation and there is no civil unrest or violence to threaten those functions. You have therefore advocated for the use of the military to violently overthrow the constitution process of the United States by keeping the president in office through martial law. You are guilty of treason. You should be arrested, tried and put to death. It is obvious that you are a stupid and ignorant person. Your statement shows that you are a sniveling coward.

Considering how we have been fighting the war on terror (going where no terrorists exist and creating them, forbidding airline passengers from traveling with shampoo but not inspecting cargo containers coming into the country, etc. etc.), I doubt that the terrorists would be impacted much by our efforts — whether we retreat or escalate.

Comment by Roger_Roger
The war on terror is a Bush created myth. It was needed because of the consitutional overreach Bush and his neocons had planned for America. They needed something – anything – to instill a sense of fear and vulnerability in the American people (that’s you). Accordingly, all the narratives based on that initial falsehood are all falsehoods. You cannot turn a lie into a truth by offering up more and more phoney threats.
There will never be a time on this planet where one idea will live peacefully with another idea forever. We have been attacked from within, too (Oklahoma City). If the war on terror is to last forever, we will be bankrupt (financially and moraly) well before peace on earth is achieved.
November 20th, 2007 at 12:41 pmDaryll: “Based on the comments of the Democratic Presidential Candidates, your party has proven that you will capitulate to terrorist organizations.”
I’m not sure what comments you’re thinking of, but we do have historical examples of capitulation to terrorist organizations. Unfortunately for you, it was republicans who did the capitulating. Reagan gave shoulder-firing missles to Iranians. Reagan and Bush traded with middle-eastern terrorists to provide weapons for central American terrorists. The CEO of Chiquita Bananas just last week admitted that he gave money to a South American terrorist organization to pay for “protection.” Reagan “cut and run” after his silly “show of force” in Lebanon got 243 marines killed. And, of course, the Bush administration continues to look the other way while his friends, the Saudis, provide 45% of the foreign terrorists attacking our people in Iraq.
November 20th, 2007 at 12:42 pmDaryll, there is no capitulating done by the democrats. I challange you to provide any evidence of that. Other posters here will most likely provide you with the evidence that the current president has done the capitulating. OBL is still free, Borders are still unprotected and many more will no doubt surface.
Your last comment about 9/11 defies logic and is devoid of any supporting evidence. What do you base this on? We have heard your desire to piss on the constitution and have the president declare martial law for our own good but many more Americans are no longer afraid of the unseen boogey man. As it has been written above, there will always be terrorists. We will no longer cower to them.
November 20th, 2007 at 12:42 pmIt will be owned by Al Queda and possibly Iran. Do you want to be forced to read the Qu’ran for the rest of your life?
Comment by Daryll — November 20, 2007 @ 12:41 pm
You do realize that al-Qa’ida and Iran are enemies, right?
November 20th, 2007 at 12:42 pm“I’m not sure what comments you’re thinking of”
Daryll is not thinking of _anything_ specific. No, wait. Daryll is not _thinking_. Thinking _hurts_ for Daryll: he’d rather operate on what he just knows by fiat or, worse _feels_.
November 20th, 2007 at 12:44 pmEvery Republican in America is on his knees every day, praying for another big domestic terror attack.
“Please God,” they’re saying, “let them hit us hard. I don’t care how many people get killed, so long as it hurts the Democrats.”
That’s how much the political right love America.
November 20th, 2007 at 12:45 pmFalse Flag operations are standard operating procedures for any fascistic government……Reichstag, Gleiwitz incident, Lusitania, The Cold War, Operation Ajax in Iran, Lavon Affair, Gulf of Tonkin, USS Liberty, Sinking of Maine, Kuwaiti Incubators, 9/11. It would not matter that more than 50% of the American public thinks Bush might declare martial law. This is not the ramblings of Far Right Militia Men. The question is…..Why would Bush NOT create a false flag operation?
November 20th, 2007 at 12:46 pmDaryll: “Once are nation goes bankrupt because of terrorist acts, we will no longer have our freedom and liberty.”
The nation is going bankrupt because of 27 years of modern libertarian-conservative monetary and tax policy. Terrorism has very little to do with that. In addition, YOU ARE THE ONE ADVOCATING THE TAKING AWAY OF OUR FREEDOM AND LIBERTY! You said above you thought Bush should declare marshal law. Get a hold of yourself, you whining, frightened little fascist. You’re not making any sense.
November 20th, 2007 at 12:47 pmWhen Former Pakistani premier Benazir Bhutto first returned to Pakistan, someone tried to kill her with a bomb. Her enemy, and George w. Bush’s great friend, Gen. Musharraf, had her arrested and declared marial law in order to protect her from the “terrorists”.
Don’t think Dick Cheney isn’t watching to see how that all works out for Mushie prior to the supposed “elections” in Pakistan.
November 20th, 2007 at 12:48 pmOnce are nation goes bankrupt because of terrorist acts, we will no longer have our freedom and liberty. It will be owned by Al Queda and possibly Iran. Do you want to be forced to read the Qu’ran for the rest of your life?
Comment by Daryll
How in the owrld is out country going to go bankrupt because of terrorist attacks??!!
Sub-prime loans handed out by our own banks have caused 10 times more damage to our economy than all the terrorist acts in american history.
Anyway, you still haven’t answered my earlier question:
Do you advocate giving up democracy in this country to make Bush president for life?
It’s a simple yes or no question…

Comment by Daryll
This is the lowest form of intelligent life on this planet. I use the word intelligent very loosely. This goober really believes we will have al quaida running our government and our lives. The notion that a small band of nobodies could invade this country and take it over speaks volumes to the effectiveness of the right side kool aid. Darryl must drink it down like breathing air. I also noticed Darryl punctuated Qu’ran properly. What does that say about him wanting to show respect to the ‘enemy of our civilization’? I guess he is covering all his bases so if furriners show up to hurt him, he can point out that he always appreciated their religion.
Darryl, people like you make me embarrassed to be an American.

I initially got a yock out of this, because Daryll has frequently posted some astonishingly stupid comments, but after reading some of the “Daryll” comments on the O’Reilly thread, I’m inclined to agree. Daryll has always been clueless, but there is a really vicious tone to the comments that just doesn’t sound like him, coupled with a familiar tendency to mock other commenters by distorting their login names. I would hazard a guess that this is a regular troll, no longer able to comment under its own name and now namejacking Daryll–anything to get online and get a lot of attention.
Pathetic, as always.
November 20th, 2007 at 12:51 pmOf course the Mossad, errr… I mean Al Qaeda will attack the US just before the elections.

I’m guessing Daryll would like some kind of “enabling” legislation to give Bush more power and possibly a new state-sponsored “government Bishop” to incorporate the christian religion into law – strictly to protect us from terrorism of course.

November 20th, 2007 at 12:57 pmActually, if we had competant people working at Homeland Security, instead of the “Fran Townsend” types, they’d realize a pattern of al Queda attacks in which they try to capitalize on the disorganization of the transition of our executive branch.

Well, no, not exactly. The question relates to Townsend’s “concerns about what might happen here next year. The terrorists could possibly target the U.S. elections.”
Her answer is pretty weird too. Okay, so al Qaeda influenced the Spanish elections by perpetrating the Madrid bombing before the election and attempted to influence the choice of Blair’s successor by carrying out the Glasgow bombing after Brown had already been chosen? Gimme a break!

Now back to your regular (and I mean regular, if you know what I mean, if you catch my drift…) activities.
…….
FWIW, I was in India a while back during election season (they have rolling election across the country in the various states at different times), and a favourite means of “influencing” voter turnout was the setting of bombs at polling stations. There were several bombings in India (none near me; but then again, I wasn’t going out to vote) while I was there. But no need to bother with actual bombs; particularly with a population already pissing their pants, I guess….

For now, let’s handle the latter question.
If Daryll loved the United States, he would weep for her position in today’s world.
No longer are we seen as the beacon of liberty and freedom.
No longer are we seen as the bastion of free thought.
Other countries are turning to the likes of _China_ to solve our world’s problems.
Our influence and power is waning thanks to the poor choices of this government, and Daryll wants to see it continue past its constitutional bounds.
Daryll, how do you feel about China taking the active role in bringing North Korea back to the negotiating table?
How about how do you feel about the fact that we are universally dispised worldwide? Not just in Muslim countries, mind you, but even our _friends_ are starting to dislike us.
You know, good Christian friends like England and Canada and Russia?
Of course you don’t love America, Daryll. Why should you. The First Amendment guarantees freedom of (and that includes _from_ religion). You want a country where people must worship God, read the Bible, and show difference to Him in everything they do.
And you’re too stupid to figure out that that basically is a Christian version of Iran and Taliban Afghanistan.
As for loving Jesus, I leave that to an independant minded Christian scholar. Somehow I doubt you love Jesus much more than you do America…

You may be right. I thought it was rather strange that his posts were not all about god and religion.
I heard something interesting today on Thom Hartmann’s show. He was saying that he fears for Christianity with this bunch of “Christians” in our government. He fears that their actions could end up in killing Christianity in this country. Apparently there is a severe drop in the number of people who describe themselves, today, as Christians. Just as there is a severe drop in people who say they are Republicans.

Frankly, the way he talks, I’m surprised he’s even involved with a company whose wasting thier times making post-rapture plans.

is making millionaires out of Sunni cheiftans who used to give aide and material support to al-queda in iraq considered “capitulation”?
November 21st, 2007 at 12:23 amdaryll, if you get raptured away before 2016, have you made plans for someone to fullfill your duties to your employer?
November 21st, 2007 at 12:24 amWhy the heck would someone in such a high position make such a statement while there is no intelligence showing that this can happen? How do they know that Al-Qaeda “views theser periods as being particularly vulnerable”? They can read their minds, all of a sudden? Why are elections vulnerable at all? Think about it. WHO WOULD BENEFIT IF AL-QAEDA ATTACKED THE US DURING THE 2008 ELECTIONS? It would only benefit George Bush and his cabal. It would do nothing for Al-Qaeda. George Bush would then declare martial law and remain as president for as long as this “threat” would exist.
November 21st, 2007 at 7:57 amThis asslownette is probably helping set things up for le petite batarde to declare martial law and cancel the elections.
It is unfortunate that they didn’t target the last two Illeg, er, elections.
November 21st, 2007 at 9:46 amThis is just another case of the Bush Administration crying wolf.
It may have take one terrorist to cause fear and panic in America, but it took ONE American to exploit that and take away your freedoms.
Only 425 days left before he is out of office.
November 21st, 2007 at 10:39 amComment by Daryll:
President Bush needs to declare martial law and stay in office until the threat has decreased
The far Reich wing-nuts don’t care what they have to give up as long as their party stays in control.
TOWNSEND: Well, it’s not that we know that there’s a specific threat, John. (so we’re just going to scare people into voting the way we want them to. Because studies show when people are frightened they vote republican)
“We don’t have any specific information, but given our experience and (wide bathroom stances) what we know (which is not a damn thing), I believe we’ve got a real obligation to (frighten American citizens) prepare for that transition between the election and the inauguration in a special way.†(do we get fries with that?)
yes, like giggles declaring martial law to “protect Merckins from tearists.â€
November 21st, 2007 at 2:55 pmIt is safe to assume that, as a fervent Bush adorer, FFT does not know her ass from her elbow. So when she pompously declares after having handed down her resignation, that: ” …while there is currently no “specific information,†“we know that Al Qaeda views these periods [elections]as being a particularly vulnerable period.†, we know that she is talking out of her backside.
If anything, we know that Al-Qaeda and Bin Misplaced Bin Forgotten are hoping that the republican cretins will again succeed in terrifying the public into voting for them, hence, insuring a further degradation of human and civil rights in the US and a degradation of morality in the US. Bush could not have played better into the hands of Bin Whatever: Bush managed to degrade our nation’s moral standards and discourse to the point that the American public is now discussing what degrading treatment constitutes torture or not. Not so long ago, torture was considered odious and hateful by a majority of the public. Now it is a regular topic of debate.
November 21st, 2007 at 6:10 pmI regard this as the single most dangerous move for the coming year.
November 21st, 2007 at 11:48 pmThe laws on Martial Law were changed for the first time ever! without debate in congress in Aug2006. Cheney supported Musharaff to take the actions he did as a precursor to it happening here., early Nov 2008.
Bush has never been one to follow rules or laws and I dont expect him to just end his tenure. I expect there to be a terror threat .. something like anthrax at polling stations., Bush to invoke the new laws ( google martial law changes cannot remember the HR #) and ’suspend the election somewhere around Nov 3rd.. Troops on streets ‘guarding polling stations.
and maybe 4 months later , they take place. Maybe they dont. I see all this pakistan PR as a way to soften up the hapless US populous before this happens.
