to the Hardware Store? Damn!

You can use duct-tape for a noose!

how serious can the threat to aircraft be as the TSA announces layoffs of security people?

I caught that on CNN last night too.....

...exactly who is running this asylum??????????????

Hey wait a minute! These statements are ALWAYS true. They contain no new information.

Smells like a rodent to me.

who can save DEMS, especially those from TEXAS, that get caught on a flight hit by a SAM.

system?


I mean, if it's gonna be planes an' shit and not the 'thrax.

Specific info is better than just "We are raising the terror alert level."
Sometimes you have to give credit when it is due.

If you do not, it makes you seem like a whining crybaby.

having fun?

Mights and maybes are nonspecific.

* his numbers are low...playing to the fears of the public...next we bail out the airlines again...

My thoughts exactly, Gin.

Uday and Qusay didn't raise the poll levels enough.

they did take a lot of heat for not warning people enough prior to 9-11. Not sure we can really fault them now for maybe going overboard in the other direction.

Please reconcile the two stories for me, would ya? Are you dizzy yet? Do you know what cognitive dissonance is?

Am experiencing cog dis right now.

:crazy:

Ha! Remember when AssKKKroft announced he'd captured the not-accused-or-tried-of-anything Jose Padilla like a month after he'd been captured, and from Russia?

These alerts are very carefully timed to coincide with other news stories they don't like. The "chatter" that led to this one is probably 6 months old, and from guys in Gitmo ho haven't seen their Al Qaeda buddies since '01!

Even if this shit was credible, theres's nothing the average American can do about it but go about his business, so why report on it except that it's a distraction/fearmongering tool.

Only Holy Joe would believe that they're sincere about these warnings. I hope that the first thing the new prez does is abolish the stupid terror alert system.

I'll remember that handle...

gotta be "correct" :D

There wasn't a word about YellowcakeGate or plunging consumer confidence.

There wasn't a word of skepticism about the "convenient" timing of this new "alert."

So, I guess they figure their method still works pretty well. They won't stop using it as long as it works. :puke:

He said this threat is nothing new. People in the airline industry have been aware of it all along.

If something DOES happen, they say "we warned you".

If nothing happens, they say "better safe than sorry".

Yeah . . . that's leadership.

Pols and their advisers know an internationl enemy is a good way to distract people from their domestic woes.
