This "terror alert" is fuckin stupid
 

Have you seen CNN and Fox NEWS all day...they are leaving this "TERROR ALERT - HIGH" graphic on their screen constantly. This is so stupid, what does this high level now mean? I should not go outside? Or wait, maybe go outside since they may blow my house? Terror has always struck when people weren't expecting it, and I don't see how you can prepare for it. And why can't terrorists just wait till the 'terr-o-meter' it back at low then blow shit up? DUMB!

what color are we at again? mauve?

LOL.

there will be an act of terror in the USA if Bush goes to war with Iraq, but Iraq will not be the ones involved-the gvmt wants to scare the public so the usa becomes a police state-

My bedroom is on alert green tonight for hot steamy sex situations might aoccur if you enter

There is no more terror threat today than there was a week ago, Bush just needs to scare america into thinking they are about to get attacked, so it will boost support for a war against Iraq.

As if Iraq and terrorism have much to do with eachother, but to the average uneducated persone its the same thing.

America is a country that is controlled by fear. This is just another example of it.

So who are the real terrorists here ?

It will happen either way. How quickly we forget 9/11 when our favorite bitch Bill Clinton isn't calling the shots.... We are finally being proactive. It's about fuckin' time.

Police state? If liberals, as proud as many here are can take off their blinders will see world justice was overdue and time to clean the world?s garbage. Bush has been given leftovers from the Clinton years that sold privileges of the Whitehouse and gave Chinese secret documents and land within the USA.

What and how we live is direct connection to Clinton not taking Osama Bin Laden and condemn the wrong person for inactions. Blame Clinton for we lost freedoms from his little respect he held showed when he was in office.

Proud to be an American and proud to protect all freedom loving countries!

They're just getting ready for the war. The State Dept. issued an alert to all Americans living and travelling abroad yesterday as well.

It's the media that's going wacko over it since nothing else it happening today.

:1orglaugh

Like Clinton was supposed to have a crystal ball to see into the future. How about we woudn't have this problem if Reagan and Bush had not armed the Taliban AND Hussein AND enabled both of them to solidify their power in the first place?

Ah, I forgot, its only democrats who are supposed to have crystal balls.

Idiot.

i was trippin cause to me all the levels seem to be the same


whats really the difference between HIGH or SEVERE?

Amen!

Those here seek alternate methods, the peace mongers only come around when escalation in events necessitates, and the rest live everyday with reality war is inevitable with Iraq.

When did war with Iraq become inevitable? It didn't seem that way the day Bush was sworn in. He wasn't feeling that way. It didn't seem that way on Sept 10, 2001.

Time to protect all freedoms of all countries, time to be proactive under Bush then enactive under Clinton.

We don't know that for sure..

Bush & cronies sure would like to have thier hands on all of that oil.. and the power that comes with it..

kill kill kill hoooorah

rounds out FIRE FOR EFFECT

No joke. It was reagan/bush who essentially CREATED saddam and osama. And now conservatives want to point the finger at clinton for not cleaning up the mess! Is there anything that happened in the last 30 years that wasnt clintons fault?

We also supported Stalin, who was worse than hitler imo.

The afghans were armed to keep russia out. Should we have let russia take them over and spread comunism?

Saadam seemed to be the lesser of two evils than iran. He could have been somewhat of an ally like saudia arabia, but he choose a different path for himself

No. My point was not that Reagan and Bush were wrong at the time for supporting who they did. I was merely pointing out the hypocrisy of people who blame Clinton for not being able to somehow divine the future with Al Qaeda but aren't willing to apply the same standards to Republicans.

As for Stalin, he was 10x worse than Hitler judging by the body count, but Stalin did not harbor the 3rd Reich type fantasies of 1000 year world domination that Hitler did.

Inevitable, less we forget! When a dictator with little regard of his own people and his neighboring countries scrubbed conditions of surrender from the Gulf War.

I felt we should have taken? Saddam out during the gulf war, and feel this is an opportunity to correct a mistake from both Clinton and Bush.Sr. , To rid this menace from world stability and harboring Terrorists.

There is no fucking way we can stop terrorists if they want to blow up things.. It's just a way to tell americans to be aware of the possibility.

The twin towers were hit once before 9/11, did you forget that? We knew it was Bin Laden at that time too. Government officials have known about the problems with Al Qaeda for a long time. It's the public that is only learning about them lately...

There is hypocrisy on both sides but this Bush bashing is getting ridiculous. If people are going to bash him them give some alternative ideas.

I was 'aware' last week when the color was yellow. Now that the color is orange, should I be more aware?

Look, do you want the government to hold your hand or hug you? They created that chart so that citizens be informed about the possibility. The threat is greater now, that does not mean you have to hide under your bed.. Yawn..

Modern wars arent fun. Push a button and it all over.
LOTR stuff is good though. Strap on a chainmail, grab a battle axe and go hackin. That would be fun.

Haha, why do you need a color-coded chart? Either there IS or ISNT a possibilty. It seems more of a 'cover our asses' pre-emptive play for shit that happens that they couldn't stop. Like a 'see we told you it was gonna happen'.

Well, it's about 'cover our asses' also. Would you rather have explosions everywhere, people getting killed and not have warnings? I mean, what's the point of your whining now. I don't get it.

You don't get how causing general fear and panic may not be a good thing?

You thinks THAT'S a crock of shit -

Catch this!

Australia's insipid, flacid and fear mongering Prime Minister commissioned a direct marketing campaign that captured 12.5 million homes + businesses on Friday.

Everyone received a plastic wrapped and obviously expensive instructing "What to Do" in a terrorist attack -

In a little Aussie town 500 miles from anywhere......

Wish we had a warning on 9/11!!! Terrorists Alert? Stupid? Ask those families that had loved ones in the World Trade Centers, then imagine yourself in those towers, someone on the PA system no alarm precede with you work.

Obviously, a lot of citizens do not know how to read....
Remember the last presidential ...

Colors are dumb proof....
:2 cents:

A condom????

ok after you seing the warning on CNN, are you gonna stay home 24/7 and not go anywhere ?

Man, just don't fucking care about the warnings, but at least have valuable arguments, right now you sound like a whining baby looking for a reason to cry about something.

I'd take communism over radical fundamentalist Islam any day of the week.. besides it wouldn't have lasted more than a decade or two anyways.

They did broadcast to go on with your functions but to be alert and have a plan.
Would you rather have some prior notification of impending terrorism or being blind to something occurring.

Is a Question, stupid? Or is the answer from the question?
Notice is better then none you as an individual have that right! We have those freedoms in the US to discern how we react to an alert. Hope those individuals make the right decision.
