I'm glad they caught the guys in England...nicely done.

No liquids or toothpaste now...

But the cynic in me says....

"hmmmm....mid August...elections are soon...time to bump it up a notch or two"

Hey do you think Lieberman's connections are better than I thought?

Raoul is your middle name Nostradamus?

Nobody cares about threat levels. Red doesn't scare nobody so it shouldn't have a real impact on the election. You're either afraid of terror or yous aint.

It sure is nice to hear about foiled plots first thing in the morning.

 

did you catch that they are not allowing electronics either (phones, pda, laptop, ipod...etc).....talk about a LONG flight.....

 

I'm glad I don't fly often...

 

You underestimate the American electorate.

Go ahead and be cynnical. It's just like saying episode 3 comes out in june 05 way back in december 04. Gotta build it up. So?

 

The terrorists were caught here in England trying to get onto US carriers heading home.
We don't have elections for another 3 years.

No connection at all :o

 

Yeah, I'm sure Tony Blair is trying to influence the elections here in the U.S.

Way to go Brits!

Me thinks there needs to be a Con Air flight from England to the US, let them blow that plane up.

 

EA, good job by the brits on that.

Over here we are on a two year election cycle.
Predicting a bump on the Threat Level was an easy call.

From two years ago, almost to the day...

Ron White comes to mind...his threat level is as follows:
1. Find a helmet.
2. Put on the damn helmet.

 

Well lets see how our foreign policy is progressing—

We have the War in Iraq: Perhaps the largest transference of wealth from the populous to the ruling class in the history of the world. (read your tax dollars are making defense contractors rich)

We have national security: Billions more of your tax dollars diverted to anti-terrorist measures here. And of course your freedoms being eroded in the name of national security.

We have the September 11 Holocaust (and continuing efforts)

And, I suggest, if you plan on traveling outside the U.S. you pick your destinations carefully as we have reached a new level of hatred of America.

But we have shown those Terrorists not to mess with us!
(yeah right)

I think a change in tactics might be prudent.

 

 

Here is a historical timeline....

Aug 4 2004 (Orange)----Nov 2 2004 (Election)---Nov 8 2004(Yellow)

Aug 10 2006(Orange)---Nov 7 2006 (Election)---Nov ?? 2006(Yellow??)

 

Bush announces that this is "a stark reminder" of war.

Translation:

Stay afraid, vote for us because we are protecting you.

 

Maybe I shoulda called it a 'hysterical' timeline rather than historcial.

(then Matt could follow it and the rest of you could just figure it out)
