In nearly 6 weeks since the election, has anyone else noticed . . .
Edited on Fri Dec-10-04 10:28 AM by hatrack
. . . the complete absence of Terror Alert updates from Ridge & the rest of the Beltway Boneheads?

The total lack of shifts in the big color chart?

The sudden disappearance of terrorism intelligence which is too secret to be disclosed, and which doesn't deal with any specific threats against specific targets which we should not allow to panic us as we continue to vigilantly remain vigilant while vigilantly going about our daily lives, mainly shopping vigilantly?

Just asking . . .

4. Wow. I haven't noticed that until now
Hmm. That is really an amazing coincidence, isn't it? Maybe all of the terra-ists are celebrating Tom Ridge's resignation.

7. I have been bringing that up daily to my work mates.
No one seems to have an answer. Haven't pressed the RW nutters though. I might hear that we're safer since dumbass got re-elected - then I'd have to shoot someone.

I guess fear works
except for the fact that they had to fix the vote counting.

11. I'm sure that if Kerry wins the recount, we'll have a code red
followed by martial law.

13. As Ashcroft said...
...the task of making the nation safe from fear and terror has been accomplished. They shoehorned jackass back into office, now we all get a reprieve from the terror and fearmongering, at least for a couple months, or until someone needs to drown a news story or political enemy or something...

15. Bush people said the more Americans are scared the better for Bush..
That was before the election. I guess they accomplished their "mission". This has got to be one (out of many) crimes from this election-how the MSM allowed the administration to manipulate the fears
of voters for political gain so obviously.

17. Apparently...
...terrorism is now such a low priority concern that we've installed a high school dropout and former deadbeat dad as Homeland Security Secretary.

18. They've replaced it with "PanDemic Flu" Alerts???? Lasers taking out
Airlines??? I agree though, about the "color codes." I wonder what the new program for "Dept. of Homeland" will be, though.

19. One of the streets at the White House was reopened too.
Bush in company don't have to lie anymore because he's not running for anything. Their voters drank the koolaid believeing everything tht was said. Idiots.

21. Yes, I have...
for the last week or so they have been scaring the bejesus out of us by mentioning how vulnerable our food supply chain is and just yesterday they told us how we need to look out for terrorists with lasers. The lasers are for blinding pilots as they try to come in for landings. They didn't fiddle with the terror alert color code over these issues, but they sure as hell make the attempt to keep everyone on edge.
