Hey, it's an available peach basket....[steps up].

Don't like the current news cycle? Here's how to fix it in three easy steps. 1) Announce that terrorists would like to attact US targets. As this is generally true, it's a safe statement. Hope no-one notices that you didn't actually increase the terror alert-o-meter. 2) If stomething bad happens....you're covered. You "warned" people....and therefore saw it coming. 3) If nothing bad happens...also good, you can claim that your "war on terror" is working! And best of all, you can't be accused of dishonestly, as you can always claim national security prevents you telling people anything more.

Faith healing, as applied to politics.
