What would be your reaction to a Terror Level RED? if they tried it
like on election day. or any day for that matter. wouldn't there have to be bombs going off or something before they'd be that insane?

I'm just curious. Because people are already laughing their a$$es off at these threats these days. The only way to bring fear back into Americans' hearts and keep them in line is to allow more attacks to filter through.

Shouldn't their red threat level followe by no actual threat be our cue to march on Washington?

1. If it went Red and nothing happened, it would anger a lot of people.


Including mindless moderates who vote for the guy in the better tie.

3. Ignore it. 99.999999% of Americans are not at risk terror works
when people have irrational fears and modify their lives or governments to restrict their rights in a vain hope that they can be kept safe from a almost nonexistent threat. The shrub and his mis-administration are using terra as a control mech for the sheeple and nothing more. Live your life without fear, you control only your self and your thoughts, everything else is out of your control.

4. I've thought about that...
why couldn't they call a Level Red alert, fly some in al Qaeda from GITMO, and then spend the rest of the year crowing about how shrub's superior intelligence and the USA PATRIOT act helped stop a devistating attack on 'murika. Who would know it was faked except the people involved (assuming they aren't killed in "stopping the attempt")?

7. that's always what I figured they'd probably do
I knew a repug guy back in college, he was hired as a security guard at the library on campus. Before long he was finding fires that someone had set in the library, calling the fire department and the cops, getting patted on the back and being called a hero.

Then they figured out that he was the one setting the fires, they busted him, and arrested him.

He was the son of some major political operatives in Missouri who were tight with Kit Bond (Kit Bond is a major crook, by the way. I learned a lot from this guy, when he would get drunk and spill the beans).

Anyway, that's what I always figured Bushco would do, create a nice fire that they would put out, so they would be heroes and save the day. Right before the election.

Course, if that doesn't work, who knows what they'll do. They'll do anything.
