Why haven't Blair or Aznar put GB/Spain on High Alert for Terror Attack?
Does anyone find in strange that with Britain's history in the ME that Blair isn't worried as Bush? And, what about Aznar? He just lost Diplomats in Iraq?

Why is America the only country now monitoring for "Bioterror Attack/Aircraft Attack?

Shouldn't the "Coalition Partners" be as vulnerable as we?

3. Koko the brits have probably gone to a higher
state of alert but umlike the two previous times, they did not
bellow it to the world.

Spain is always on a higher state anyway because of the Basque...

Also Ridge like to play with our emotions and the national color mood ring.

6. Nadin..that's what I think, but I was posting this as "average American."
I wonder when "thinking folks" will start to wonder, why "WE" are the ones with the "Bioterror/Terror in General" threats from "chatter," and not the rest of the (Laughing) "coalition" partners. The fake coalition partners. Although Bush/Blair "joined at the hip" should be viewed as One. Yet.....no GB terror alerts.

7. Thanks for the humor on this thread. Scoffing at them is good medicine...
but, I wonder if the average American with little kids visiting their parents for the Holidays is going to see the humor in Bush's Holiday Fear Mongering. When you have to stand in airports with little kids and take off your shoes and have your bags turned out, after arriving the "extra two hours before flight time" after a car journey and then try to have a visit with your family while being bombarded with "Mad Cow" and "Bioterror Alerts," one does start to have some problems.

What if your "inlaws" or "families tradition" is to have a nice Prime Rib, Rump Roast, or London Broil and much effort has gone into the shopping and preparation, and your daughter/son is afraid his kids will get sick?

What is all this doing to American Families trying to share the few times a year when all can come together?

This is a big "calculation" by the Bushies which just might "backfire" on them.

Just throwing this out for "Average America."

8. If one was a terrorist why would one attack top 30 cities, already
fortified? Why wouldn't one go after the next 30 tier?

This is why Bushies are so "INCOMPETENT!" They do this "Alert" focused on the cities with the biggest "Sports Franchises" while forgetting those who might be more vulnerable and easier to target, if there was a "Real Threat" to begin with.

9. B* Needs to Keep us all Occupied While he Vacations in Crawford
I suspected this from day one.

The US dicKtator is not above controlling the media while he celebrates his Christmas. Not a problem if it costs local governments millions of dollars!!
