Anyone else find this a little interesting?
in previous years, we got loads of terror alerts right before the holidays. now after the election, we've had none. Thanksgiving, Christmas and now New Year's have gone by with none.

gee, I wonder why...

1. Didn't you listen to Ashcroft? He is stepping down because the job
of securing the nation against terrorists is completed.

7. And so many people believe it!
I just met a long lost uncle this holiday and he seems to think Bush is keeping the terrorists away!!!

2. whoa...
you are forgetting the terror alert at the Warren County Board of Elections on November 3/4th, 2004. Ohio- a logical target for terrorism.

sheesh.

4. They'll have a warning soon...just watch
Bush is probably nervous about the upcoming protests and Conyers...newspapers are already mentioning the increased "chatter" of the terrorists. So see through.

3. "Anyone else find this a little interesting?" 
Good point. Not even a thwarted terror ATTEMPT! Imagine that!?

I suppose, now that Duh-bya has "the will of the
people" behind him, he doesn't need to do so much
"hard work".[g]

21. That's right. As soon as he (allegedly) won, he took down barriers in DC
so quickly, it was downright bizarre. Clearly he "knows" something the rest of us don't...perhaps that the terror threat must've essentially ended with his Re-election??? Strange that people didn't notice or mention it much.
