Keeping us safer
Poll numbers in the crapper: it's time for a new terra warning!

Breaking: Today's non-specific, overly broad, dire prediction of something possibly happening somewhere at sometime is markedly different from yesterday's non-specific warning of something possibly happening.

A 'group of terrorists already deployed inside the United States' is preparing to launch a major attack this summer, counterterrorism and law enforcement officials say. The intelligence does not include a time, place or method of attack but is "among the most disturbing received by the government" since the attacks of Sept. 11, the official said.

Funny - we got almost the exact same warning the summer of 2002. Anyhoo, not to be hating America or anything...

Despite the scare tactics chilling drumbeating by the misadministration, there was no immediate plan to raise the nation's terrorism threat level from yellow, or elevated, to orange, or high. "We have to save 'orange' for October!" chirped a spokesman for Homeland Security.

So, ummmm... just go shopping, and be aware of swarthy folks getting into crop dusters that don't belong to you.

Flashback to the SOTU, 2003:

"All told, more than 3,000 suspected terrorists have been arrested in many countries. Many others have met a different fate. Let's put it this way -- they are no longer a problem to the United States and our friends and allies.

"We have the terrorists on the run. We're keeping them on the run. One by one, the terrorists are learning the meaning of American justice."
In a related story, Al-Qaida ranks are swelling worldwide, says a new report.


"Suckas!"
