But I just woke up (door dude at a bar), anybody have any other possibilities???

:shrug:

[DoYouEverWonder]

1. Bingo!

Plus the Christmas shopping season is just about over, so it won't hurt retail sales too much.

[kentuck]

2. Khadafi is behind a terrorist attack in the planning...

...and he has protected himself from speculation by his recent agreement? :)

[RainDog]

3. maybe to cover for the upcoming attack

on dems if they don't pass the omnibus bill which includes all the bits of patriot act 2 in pieces, along with major, major pork for all those "fiscally conservative" repukes.. LOL.

I dunno...did they warn about the anthrax attack before that bit of psychological terrorism on Congress?

[WillyT]

6. Oh Hell No... They Don't Warn Before The Attacks They Want...

to succeed!!!

:nuke:

[KeepItReal]

4. Saddam held by Kurds...X-mas sales down...Democrats on attack..

What else did I miss?

[BrotherBuzz]

20. Don't forget to include - Bush* got a whopping...

three point bounce after capturing Saddam...Three points, and that's after the spin! Are we safer yet?

[Catshrink]

5. Another Bush vacation?

I mean come on, it is Christmas and the girls will be home. Can you say par-tay?

[WillyT]

8. PAR- TAY !!! --- We Need To Come Up With Color Coded Cocktails...

to get us through these dispeptic times, no???

:beer::smoke::party:

[Catshrink]

9. Color-coded booze

Try this:

Red: just gimme the bottle - scotch or boubon, I don't care!
Orange: martini
Yellow: gin & tonic
Blue: a girlie drink
Green: a beer

[KeepItReal]

10. Heck...I was at Orange level last nite!

Must have been due to all that chatter in the room...

[WillyT]

12. LOL !!! --- Well... I Was At Orange And A Half... Jack Daniels, Neat !!!

:hangover:

[Catshrink]

13. I'd say that's the red zone, Willy

Feel free to modify the booze color-coding....

I'm tempted to switch beer and girlie drink.... but, since I'm mellow and never drink girlie drinks, leaving it as it is indicates that I'm not buying into the threat bizness. Call me naive, but brewskies are mellow on the booze scale.

[sexybomber]

35. yeah

I'd say it's like:

Uber-Red - Tequila, straight from the bottle
Red - Jack straight
Orange - Jack & Coke
Yellow - Martinis, Gin & Tonic
Green - Screwdrivers, things made with fruit juices
Blue - Beer.

[Catshrink]

37. Yeah... I like your list

Works for me... though I'm not much for tequila straight. But, I can learn.

[OneTwentyoNine]

7. To convince Murikans that the War on Terra is never finished...

That would be my guess,Bush doesn't want a bunch of softies thinking that with the capture of SH that we could actually start getting the FUCK out of Iraq.

Nope,keep that "fear factor" on high all the way to Nov 2004!!!!!

36. That's about the size of it!

[Killarney]

11. That Iraq doesn't have WMD and Saddam was telling the truth

[Catshrink]

14. Check out this for a terror scenario

It's the end of the world in cartoon form:

16. Hmmm.... Veeeerrryyy Interesting !!! --- I Like It !

:bounce::kick::bounce:

[Military Brat]

17. The stage-crafted "capture" of Hussein

and the anticipated drop in polls.

[TygrBright]

18. Oh, gee, is there another Terralert?

I must have missed that one with all the dreck in the newspapers about the retail shopping season, maudlin do-gooders, useless "gift ideas" and fights between local politicians....

But maybe that was on the *other* page one? The one the evil terrorists took off my newspaper before I got it?

Because everyone knows that they would only ever issue a Terralert when there is REAL REASON TO WORRY....

I think I'll make a batch of eggnog and take it back to bed with me...

anxiously,
Bright

[mandyky]

19. Not so much a cover up but a way

to keep folks like Jose Pedilla incommunicado and as an enemy combatant.

[goobergunch]

22. My thoughts exactly.

It's an attempt to pressure the courts into staying the 30-day order.

[spotbird]

21. Maybe there is an increased threat?

Really, after 9/11 there was discussion that AQ waits two or more years between major attacks so that its targets let their guard down. If there really is an increased threat the Clintons aren’t around to thwart it so we may be in for another big one. * is off the hook because he warned us before he went into hiding (who thinks he is at Camp David?), and whatever is left of Democracy is gone forever.

How long will DU remain here if there is another attack? Our kind of speech couldn’t be tolerated when the next crackdown occurs. Two years ago I wouldn’t have even thought a thing like that, much less speak it, now I have very little doubt about it. Where is the tin foil?

[anakie]

23. let's see

9/11 enquiry, Enron, Shrub's druggie and wandering past, quagmire in Iraq, economy and dropping dollar, plans for a draft, SH's capture, where's Osama etc.

Could be anything and nothing would surprise

[Nashyra]

24. Probably that Saddam was captured by Kurds

and he is probably singing like a bird about the Regan, *1 and Rumsfield connections. Probably getting the story out that it was US gas that killed the kurds.

[moondust]

25. "We got him!" And now we return to our regularly scheduled war.

29. We Have Nothing To Fear But Bush Himself...

What the hell is the point of this ridiculous color coded nonsense, if not to distract? If they had some useful info like, don't take a plane, go to a mall, or whatever, but always the mind-boggling "don't change a thing!" advisorty THEN WHAT IS THE FREAKING POINT???

[stickdog]

30. I don't care what the Bush Administration says.

I feel a lot safer now that Hussein has been captured.

33. Well DONE, Evil DUers!!

"What is (insert current Regime Pronouncement) covering up?" is a question that needs to be asked EVERY time!

(Notice how fewer and fewer people are showing up to denounce you as :tinfoilhat: this year?)

34. I know a few people that work for TSA

They told me last night at dinner about the briefing they got yesterday at the start of their shift. From what they were briefed on, there is an informant (of Philippine-Muslim descent) who came to the FBI with some information involving a plot to blow up a plane between Dec. 24 and New Year's Day. the plot is quite sophisticated (C-4 loaded into the false bottom of a shaving cream can is one possible scenario) and it will be either a flight originating in the Philippines to be blown up over the middle Pacific or a cross-country flight over the US. The plot in its entirety is quite sophisticated from what was relayed to me. Now, like my friend said, this all seems really suspicious that someone with access to this much information would squeal. but then again it is entirely possible that it's a mole rather than a stool pidgeon. The specifics that were given to TSA kind of make me believe it a little more than the other warnings, but I'm still skeptical that they could pull that off.
