'We are currently in a heightened threat environment', says t.v. terror lady.

[Philosoraptor]

Cnn said that the NIE says that Al Qaeda is 'almost ready' to attack us again. Just heard on the white house t.v. news. fran townsend of the dept of homeland security just used the above quote, hyper threat environment.

The woman keeps referring to America as 'the homeland', and hasn't used it's proper name once. She's repeated the term, 'the homeland' dozens of times.

* later she used the term 'heightened threat environment'.

1. I believe that tradition calls for a four week vacation to commence ASAP

See ya in Crawford!

[soothsayer]

2. ooooh! booogety boogety boogety! the sky is falling! run for your lives!

[KansDem]

3. Whatever happened to "Mission Accomplished?"

You mean is really wasn't? :crazy:

[peace13]

6. And where is Osama? n/t

[dysfunctional press]

4. i wonder what poppy's crew has in store for us this time...?

nt

[peace13]

5. I don't know but when it comes we need to be ready.

Every camera turned so that when the official story does not match the facts the sheeple can begin to wake up!

[fasttense]

7. A lot of good the bushes have done to protect America from terrorists.

Time for Dick to start those war games again in order to tie up all the military resources. He will have to find another source of anthrax though.

[bdamomma]

8. darth cheney where are you ? you scumbag.

[stellanoir]

9. Or does Chertoff just need an antacid. . .?

[State the Obvious]

10. "ALMOST ready"...."COULD be ready"...."MIGHT be ready"...

...we BELIEVE they are ready....there is the POSSIBILITY they are ready....SOME sources say they are ready....

All the administrations scary, "half-way,-but- not-quite-there" statements have a nebulous arc to them. :crazy:

[RB TexLa]

11. then the government should let us know where the targets are so we can cancel trips there

[indepat]

12. Preparing us for the national emergency which will trigger EO 51 and

install junior as emperor for life. Guess this shoots the shit out of junior's slogan "we were fighting them over there so we won't have to fight them over here."

[eagler]

13. LIHOP getting ready to happen again!

[SammyWinstonJack]

39. "Almost" ready=MIHOP

[SoonerPride]

14. And then we blame Iran in 5...4...3...2....1

Bombs AWAY!

[Philosoraptor]

16. Iran has been pre-emptively blamed.

[madokie]

15. This white house has no leg to stand on anymore

its only a matter of time until they will be gone and gone good

[Norquist Nemesis]

17. By the end of August, the flooding in Texas will be because of Al Qaeda

In a couple of weeks, Faux will be doing reports on a weather machine and the dangers of it getting into the hands of terrorists. Lou Dobbs will give a one-story exclusive how China stole the intellectual property of the machine and created it with cheap labor. And CNN will test the validity of the danger through military analysts like Grange who will tell the world that the weather machine would be deadly in the hands of Al Qaeda. The DPs (Daniel Pipes and Danielle Pletka) will be fighting each other over who gets to appear on MTP to "discuss" the chatter.

By September, David Petreaus will neither confirm nor deny that Al Quaeda is responsible for N Americans killed in 130 degree heat in Iraq.

[Ezlivin]

18. Our "intelligence assets" will either LIHOP or MIHOP

For instance, the FBI could have thwarted the 1993 bombing of the WTC but LIHOP.

And does anyone here not think that the Anthrax Attack in 2001 was not MIHOP?

[rucky]

19. Paging Mr. Qaeda... Mr. Al Qaeda...

Please pick up a red courtesy phone. Your party is waiting for you at the Oval Office.

[Philosoraptor]

20. TERROR LADY SPEAKING NOW

[Philosoraptor]

21. She keeps referring to America as 'the homeland'

[halobeam]

22. oh brother

these ppl are just as frightening as the terr. group themselves.

[Philosoraptor]

23. 'we are currently in a hyper threat environment'

[halobeam]

24. more like "hyped"

[Beelzebud]

25. Hyper Threat. Is that a new Extreme Sport featured in X-Games?

LOL

Bush is really in trouble. I haven't seen them this concerned about terrorism since right before the 2004 election.

[asjr]

26. We can always depend on CNN to

alert us by rolling out that old footage of terrorists on monkey bars.

[Beelzebud]

27. And jumping through rings of fire!!! Are they joining jihad or the circus?

:D

[Philosoraptor]

28. It's absolutely fucking childish.

[spanone]

30. MSNBC was running the same split screen version

our media is bought and paid for with our tax dollars

[Beelzebud]

33. Funny how they present it in the EXACT SAME way.

Oh no, we have an independent press. Thats why they each ran this with a bigger screen of TERROR on the side of Elsa the Bush She-Wolf.

[karlrschneider]

31. M$NBC has it too

:eyes:

[EFerrari]

29. We sure are -- Bush is still in office. n/t

[baby_mouse]

32. "Frightened pet environment"

So, like, dogs and cats with fur standing on end.

[Beelzebud]

34. Don't trust anyone who says "capture and kill them" with a bright smile on their face.

[Philosoraptor]

35. 'Of course we have them on the run', when asked why they've failed so miserably.

[Philosoraptor]

36. A reporter asks, all you talk about is al qaeda, what about OSAMA?

I can't talk about that, she says.

[Philosoraptor]

37. 'capturing/killing bin Laden is our TOP PRIORITY' says the nazi lady.

[A wise Man]

38. Myself and my neigbors are doing all we can to avoid

another attack. We've gotten guns on sale to protect us when AL QAEDA comes to our neiborhood. We love George Bush, so-o-o much that what ever he and his administration say's we believe them. I think I'm going to be sick, typing this BS crap.

Bush is the most lying "BOY THAT CRIES WOLF SOB" that I've ever heard in my entire life.

[Philosoraptor]

40. They might be here ALREADY! Among us!!!111

[timtom]

45. Count on it!

Some may even be embedded in hard-to-spot locations, such as MSM news programs, the White House, and, yes, even the House and Senate.

I think I remember during the McCarthy days, several of my school teachers, my Sunday School teacher, and even my scout troop scoutmaster were Communists...wait. No, cancel that. I'm mistaken. Now that I think about it, the only communists I encountered were some friends of mine at U C Berkeley who were laughably "marxist" in their beliefs. Other than that, they were pretty good guys.

So,here we are again...

[lapfog_1]

41. Here in Red State America....

(I'm on an extended visit to rural AZ... holy mother of god! Got to get back to SF and sanity!)

on their cable channels DHS is running a commercial that starts out with children playing in the park and then shows children (almost all white) in school... and the voice over starts out "What have YOU done to prepare for a terrorist attack? Do YOU have a plan?"

My jaw dropped so much that I could have single handedly killed off all the remaining blue whales in the oceans by swallowing all of the krill.

But even my redneck brother-in-law ("nuke all the ragheads") exclaimed that they were "just tryin to frighten us to death!"

'67 might have been the summer of love, but 2007 is the summer of fear.

[Philosoraptor]

42. Dear fran, WHERE THE FUCK IS OSAMA? another reporter gets bold.

[leftofthedial]

43. will they wait until January 30 of 2009

so the neocons can blame it on Hillary?

[Philosoraptor]

44. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
