The terrorist alert is going up again! -- CNN |
|
Whenever Bush gets in trouble the terrorist alert goes up. Hmmm. What an odd coincidence.
Well, I guess I'll have to just forget all about the thousands of needless deaths that Bush has caused and start worrying about what the terrible terrorists might do to all of us.

9. "Elevated" is the current terror threat level. |
|
It's easy to see how that can be misread.

7. Often, they scroll the CURRENT "terror threat level." |
|
I've never understood why they always scroll it. I'm not even sure what the stupid colors mean anymore, and I thought that they abandoned that, anyway?
At any rate, I think if the terror threat level were being raised, it would be breaking news everywhere. Probably what you saw is just the current terror level.

10. No terrorist has ever destroyed a whole city. |
|
Perhaps we should think of New Orleans as George kicking sand in bin Ladin's face.

If Al-Qaeda really wants to destroy America they don't need to hijack planes or bomb buildings they only need to funnel all the money they can into Republican campaigns.

Look what's happening inside our country.

15. As vulnerable as we are, I think a heightened alert is justifiable. |
|
It wouldn't be big enough news to take people off NOLA, IMO.
