Then, when Congresswoman Pelosi became Speaker of the House, ranked just after VP in succession, the gop had a field day with their screaming and crying that she wasn't flying commercial, that too much taxpayer money was being spent on her safety. While they were bumping the terror alert colors up and down the whole time.
It's only a 'credible threat' when it involves even a 1% chance that one of the republicans is in danger.
Then there's this from Condi Rice:
"Rice Concerned about Genoa - Clarke will recall in 2006 that Rice focuses on the possible threat to Bush at an upcoming summit meeting in Genoa, Italy (see June 13, 2001 and July 20-22, 2001). Rice and Bush have already been briefed about the Genoa warning by this time (see July 5, 2001). Rice also promises to quickly schedule a high-level White House meeting on al-Qaeda. However, that meeting does not take place until September 4, 2001 (see September 4, 2001). [McClatchy Newspapers, 10/2/2006] ...
The G8 summit is held in Genoa, Italy. Acting on previous warnings that al-Qaeda would attempt to kill President Bush and other leaders, Italian authorities surround the summit with anti-aircraft guns. They keep fighter jets in the air and close off local airspace to all planes. [Los Angeles Times, 9/27/2001] The warnings are taken so seriously that Bush stays overnight on an aircraft carrier offshore, and other world leaders stay on a luxury ship. [CNN, 7/18/2001] No attack occurs. US officials state that the warnings were “unsubstantiated,” but after 9/11, they will claim success in preventing an attack. [Los Angeles Times, 9/27/2001] "

That's the same National Security Advisor who said:
"I don't think that anybody could have predicted that these people would take an airplane and slam it into the World Trade Center, take another one and slam it into the Pentagon, that they would try to use an airplane as a missile."
Press conference, May 16, 2002.

I can see exactly how and why their orange nazi candidate is so successful at telling blatant lies, never gets called on his constant exhibitions of hypocrisy, and has a cartoonishly dangerous foreign and national security policy that is retailed to the American public as 'legitimate'.
