that his buddy Osama is looking to attack Loa angeles or Melborne Au. I don't think their playing with their crayons any longer so who knows if they'll raiese the threat level.

6. Can they reasonably issue terror alerts today? . . .

Given the total incompetence exhibited in the wake of Katrina, and FEMA's quite evident incapacity to respond to emergencies, I don't believe BushCo will want to draw attention to its deficiencies by issuing terror alerts -- for real or imagined threats. Witness the al Qaeda announcement this morning, that attacks are imminent in Los Angeles and Melbourne (http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=102x1771619), yet despite a proven connection between the guy threatening LA and this region, there's been no elevation of the terror alert status - not even locally.

Barring and actual attack somewhere (such as the London bombings) I don't believe we'll see elevated terrorism levels for quite some time. . . this despite falling poll numbers and mounting criticism of the maladministration.

7. DHS's credibility is sinking so fast

that neither Bush or Cheney nor Rove nor Chertoff could raise the threat level. Only General Russ Honore and Admiral Thad Allen have the credibility - and they would have to bring teh both to Washington, cigars and all - to announce the increased threat level.

and even then - it wouldn't fly.

8. Terror alerts? Why there's no

reason to have terror alerts. What's that? Impeachmen. . . LOOK OVER THERE! OH MY GOD!
