[CatWoman]

they are waiting for him to take the podium.

1. No Juicy Info From Saddam, More Attacks

A lack of any juicy leads on those phantom WMDs coupled with more attacks on pipelines running from both the Northern and Southern fields in Iraq must mean it's time to practice the 3 Ds: Divert, Disclaim, and Deceieve.

[RBHam]

2. Be Afraid! Vote Republican! Invest in Ponzi schemes! Shop ceaselessly!

Boo!

[JPace]

3. Merry Christmas from the White House....

now everyone have a nice relaxing Holiday Season.

[Patriot_Spear]

7. Yep- on the money!

'Let's think about terror through Christmas'- it's like the indoctrination scene in 'A Clockwork Orange', you can't look away.

[RainDog]

27. coincidentally, patriot act 2 just waiting in that giant omibus bill

yes, Congress, go home to your districts, and let us make sure you know that Al. Q is threatening us...in our homes!

pay no attention to that anthrax attack which we've never figured out, especially since it was obviously perpetrated by someone within the U.S. intelligence apparatus...

and remember the omnibus bill...and those provisions for the patriot act 2 that are just sitting there waiting...

Is Bush not the embodiment of fear and death and hatred? Honestly.

It's so sad to see democracy constantly gang raped by the Bush thugs.

[wanderingbear]

4. Cry wolf to many times..

And people tend to ignore you..

[Terwilliger]

5. Terror Level: SHOP HARDER!!

:nuke:

6. just now when I went to Bartcop it was down because of W. poweroutage

8. Scrooge McBush strikes again!

Happy Holidays Americans

remember how I said that capturing that evil mastermind WH was going to make the world safer?

WRONG!

it just wouldn't be Christmas if we weren't doing something to screw up your lives (again)

planning on flying to your family gathering? better plan on showing up two days ahead of the flight so there's enough time for a full-body-cavity search of your toddlers...

===============

seriously, raising threat levels is NOT something you announce to the entire world. raising threat levels does NOT help any individual citizen. the only thing it MIGHT help, is to give BushCo the option of saying... See, we TOLD you... AFTER something terrible happens.

announcing this BS is further BS and, even for them, an EVIL and cynical thing to do at the heart of the Xmas season.

this will only serve to frighten the foolish unnecessarily.

damn them all

[RBHam]

9. Conditioning the Muricans for LIHOP II

General Tommy Franks and others have been quietly spreading the idea, in the event of another terrorist attack akin to 9-11 or greater - martial law will be imposed.

it's coming - when depends on Bush's approval ratings and when the Muricans start to learn more about the truth 9-11, the PNAC and just who "Al Qaeda" works for.

[RBHam]

10. Gotta justify Homeland Security somehow...

Lots of $$$$ thrown at this dept.
Poppy Bush and Von Rove wanted Tommy Ridge to feel like he was doing something.

pathetic.

[RBHam]

11. back to duct tape and plastic sheeting!

homeland security starts at home! turn in your left wing neighbors who are supporting Al Qaeda by demeaning the President!

[RBHam]

12. ridge is stoned, he's giggling?

[bubba_fett]

13. he's talking about chatter...

being as strong as it was on 9-11..so is he awknowledging that they had prior knowledge of 9-11? Why didn't they pay attention to that chatter?

[RedSock]

16. BINGO!!!

they heard chatter in the summer of 2001 and ignored it

or

they were telling the truth when they said 9/11 came out of the blue


either they were lying then or they are lying now -- both statements cannot be true.

SO.............

will SOMEONE with a press badge ask a few of the very simple questions we raise here every f-ing day?!?!?!?

[Patriot_Spear]

18. THIS IS A CRITICAL STATEMENT! Should have it's own thread!

Good catch!

14. I hate that jingoistic BS along with the psychological terror that Ridge

is inflicting upon us! "Terra, Terra, 9/11, USA,..."
Fuck him, fuck them all! Thuis is truly disgusting and an insult to my intellegence!

[madrchsod]

15. what are we going to tell

our pets? have you told your kitties yet? my dogs could give a shit..i told them and they went back to sleep....

[lysergik]

20. My daughter is enroute. Now what?

Took off from Logan at YELLOW.
Will land at ATL under ORANGE.
Continue last leg to Pensacola under ORANGE.
Wonder what, if anything, will change?

[Skittles]

28. she will be OK trof

she'll be OK. If you're worried about hijackers - they weren't even able to complete their mission on 9/11. The passengers are savvy now.

21. Many new jobs will be created by the Orange level.

Security jobs pay $8.79 to $15.09 per hour. Thousands will be hired to boost job numbers. These guys are clevvver.

[Hogarth]

22. What? He hasn't terrorized us enough, yet?

n/t

[soupkitchen]

23. Orange you glad he didn't say banana

They just make his wear a terrorist level color-coded cap at all times.

[NicoleM]

24. Clever.

Now when it turns out that the holiday sales were not good, they can blame it on the Terra Alert.

[renegade000]

25. wait, you mean invading iraq and capturing saddam hasn't made us safer?

:eyes:

[Padraig18]

26. The irony is too delicious.

Dean said Saddam's capture hasn't made America any safer, everyone and his brother-in-law crawled all over his ass about it, and now they RAISE the terror-alert level. Ummm, yeah... :eyes:

[Old and In the Way]

30. Fight Terror. Vote Democrat.
