Default Ask yourself: Why do "Suspicous Packages" show up at airports, days before elections?

Cargo planes and trucks in several U.S. cities were inspected Friday after investigators found suspicious packages in at least two locations abroad, said law enforcement sources with detailed knowledge of the investigation.

U.S. officials believe that al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula, commonly referred to as AQAP, is behind the incident.

One suspicious package, found in the United Kingdom, contained a "manipulated" toner cartridge but tested negative for explosive material, the source said. It led to heightened inspection of arriving cargo flights in Newark, New Jersey, and Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and a UPS truck in New York.

What I am really surprised as is that gas is not $4.00 a gallon, in previous Bushy elections they went noticable down just prior to he elections...

But nothing surprises this casual view or how the world works..

you can no longer bet on a terror attack prior to an election in Vegas anymore. They have become a sure thing.

At least nowadays they are actual things. Remember the "pen darts" and remote controlled airplanes?

Yeah, I've never heard of terrorists trying to influence elections in other countries.

I have also wondered the same thing, there can be only TWO reasons that I can think of.

1 To show us that no matter who is running the country The Muslims will continue to try and kill us.

2 To show us that no matter who is running the country the Bush Policys still work against the Muslims and protect us from them.

Obama Is George Bush, Obama has changed nothing since becoming President and this is one of the "good ones" (catch the muslim before he kills you)

I thought they only hated us because of George Bush and once we elected a good liberal into office, they (and the rest of the world) would love us.

Thats exactly what the Left Wing would have us believe.

Don't wiretap them they will be offended, we shouldn't pick on them, we should stop cooking Bacon the smell upsets them, Middle Eastern looking men and women should be allowed to fly Free thats the least we can do for them.
