Post Katrina: Aren't we sort of...sitting targets for terrorists...?
Has the terror alert level been raised?...

Surely if any terrorists had another attack planned they would choose to execute it now; or very soon?

Why wouldn't they?

1. Don't worry
Don't the polls say that the majority of Americans trust Bush on terrorism? Sarcasm.

2. You still think 9/11 was caused by terrorists?

3. Why would they bother?
The US appears to be doing a great job of doing itself in.

4. That's what my brother said to me on the phone last night
They're kicking back and relaxing for a bit while we undo ourselves.

7. Sad to say
They can surely see what a cluster fuck our great leader has made of the NO disaster. How prepared are we? WOW do I feel fucking safe.

5. We've been sitting targets all along.
Has Homeland Security done anything that inspires you with confidence? If they can't react to a hurricane that gave ample warning, what will they do in case of a terror attack that comes without warning.

Even now, a week later, the rescue mission is an uncoordinated mess. I just read an article about rescue teams sitting idle in a hotel.

6. Bill OLielly said tonight we are. Said gov't's. "too big" to turn on a
dime. We can't expect to be saved by the gov't. Said if you are poor and uneducated you can expect to be standing on some proverbial rooftop in the future.

Nice huh?
