Ok, the speaker of the House says this right before doing a Cheney fundraiser. Cheney says basically the same thing the week before, and this is said a day or two after the Deputy Secretary of State syas the SAME thing. These SOBSs have actually made this an official talking point of this administration and this campaign. The truly disgusting part of all of this is that they've now politicized terror warnings. That means we can't trust anything they say about upcoming attacks. This is a rather big story.
House Speaker Dennis Hastert said Saturday that he believes Al Qaeda operatives will use terrorism to try to influence the Nov. 2 election to sway opinion toward Democrat John Kerry over President Bush.
"I don't have data or intelligence to tell me one thing or another, [but] I would think they would be more apt to go [for] somebody who would file a lawsuit with the World Court or something rather than respond with troops," said Hastert, a Republican from Plano.
Asked directly by reporters whether he believed Al Qaeda could operate better with Kerry in the White House, Hastert replied, "That's my opinion, yes."
Hastert's remarks came just before he played host to a $150-a-plate fundraising event that featured Vice President Dick Cheney and was attended by more than 2,500 Republican supporters at Northern Illinois University.
