Oh thank heavens the chance of terrorism is lower now. I bet Mr. Bush being elected scared those terrorists off.

Honestly, did people elect Bush cuz they believe what he's spinning, or cuz the Democrats somehow look worse?

More like, we thought we were doing John Kerry and the Democrats a favor and not putting them into office...let Bush clean up his own mess with Iraq and his little fascist party...

You know, the fact that this threat is supposed to be the gravest threat that we face during our time (Mister Bush reminds us of this EVERY SINGLE TIME he makes a speech), you would think that the organization he created specifically to deal with the threat, would be so in tune with what's going on, they would at least bother to communicate to the public the current threat level.

After all, he is the Great 911 Protector, you would think his group would be taking daily satellite feeds of Osama taking a dump every 5 minutes. Oh wait...

Instead, it's left at the elevated level from nearly 8 months ago.

That means the following:

a) They are not doing their jobs
b) The threat level really was used to just scare people
c) A and B

Obviously it signaled the American public hadn't made the disasterous choice on Nov. 2nd. (merely a horrible one). Hence the lowering of the code to yellow.

'Course if the Dems win the midterms and take a majority in either of the House or Senate one can truly expect the caution to be raised to red.

I really don't get the terror alert level. All the time it's elevated, which means "significant risk of attacks". That just scares people or, on the contrary, makes them ignore the warning. Nothing has really changed in the past few years, yes there were the 9/11 attacks, but there were groups who wanted to attack the USA before that and there are now, and they haven't gained much power after 9/11. Unsuccesfull though the USA is at capturing top al-Qaeda leaders, the constant pursuit by US forces plus the military operations are weakening the terrorists. So why is the threat of attacks "significant"?

That's actually the "Bush Saved Fargo, North Dakota from a dirty bomb going off" Homeland Security PR page for the White House. Not the official Homeland Security page.

That's nice, but it still has a link ON THE FRONT PAGE to that outdated threat level page.

Thanks for trying, but unfortunatley you're not going to find what you're looking for. Just relax and accept it.

OK, what I want to know, since the prez's office is oval in shape, does that mean that there are closets and rooms with curved walls around it?

Zkribbler's plan to defeat terrorism.

(1) Make terrorism legal, but only with a license.

(2) Terrorists have to apply to the Dept. of Homeland Security for their license.

(3) And wait, and wait and wait for it to issue.

(4) Terrorist either die of old age or decide to get a life, get a job, get a wife, settled down, raise kids, pay taxes, worry about retirement and bi+ch about the government.

Bureaucracy = America's secret weapon.

Sorry Mr. Abu, the form must be signed in triplicate and you have to get another witness to attest to your anti-American views.
