Initially, it seemed that Bush was on the ball, with the FBI disrupting a sinister plot to blow up the Sears Tower and a federal building in Miami. The bust was conveniently timed to coincide with a Beltway debate over withdrawing troops in Iraq. It also followed the elimination of uber-terrorist Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, clearly showing momentum in the war on terror.
Upon closer inspection, this very public "bust" is nothing more than a goofy gimmick and a public relations stunt to boost the Bush administration's sagging poll numbers. While it is great that these wannabe thugs were snagged off the streets, it is also clear that they were low level losers who were out of the loop. The only "contact" they had with Al Qaeda was the FBI agent posing as a terrorist. And these punks were so poor that they had to ask the undercover cop for "boots." This hardly is the American incarnation of Osama.
Of course, the FBI should be thanked for catching these clowns - but let's be honest, we bagged some Bozos. This incident should never have been elevated to front page news. At best, this story was worthy of maybe a blurb in the newspaper. All the breathless coverage of these nobody thugs accomplished was scaring Americans into likely making more stupid decisions - like further surrendering their civil liberties and staying in Iraq indefinitely.
Unless a prime terrorism suspect is apprehended or a major plot uncovered, why is it news? By crying wolf so many times, we erode America's readiness for the real deal.

I was watching CNN this morning. When the news report said that "none of the men had any weapons or money", I knew that we had been snookered again. These guys were going to destroy the Sears Tower? With what, a palm tree?

Oh great! These guys don't look as though they (collectively) have the brains to rob a corner liquor store. Another triumph for our side! BTW, where's Osama?
