Purely coincidental

Unnamed "senior" officials tell media outlets about an "imminent" terror attack in Germany that the US Embassy in Berlin and the German Interior Ministry know nothing about. And just as George Bush needs to ramp up pressure on Congress over an Iraq war funding bill.

How strange.

Perhaps tomorrow someone will dust off the colorful DHS terror advisory system and raise the threat level from whatever color it is today to whatever the next to highest color is.

Do they really expect anyone to believe their bullshit anymore?

Of course, the real danger here is that, if they ever do uncover a real plot, all the adminstration's crying wolf over fake terror alerts leading up to the 2004 presidential election, all the fake thwarted plots against the Liberty Library Tower in Los Angeles, all the fake "dirty bomb" allegations against Jose Padilla, all the fake hysteria over the "Miami 7" nitwits and the fake danger from pizza-delivery jihadists will cause nobody to take them seriously.

Then again, given their track record, there probably isn't any real danger of them uncovering anything real.
