THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON -- The State Department warned U.S. travelers Tuesday to be extra watchful for terrorism and anti-American violence abroad.

"The Department of State is deeply concerned about the continued threat of terrorist attacks against U.S. citizens and interests abroad, as well as the potential for demonstrations and violent actions against U.S. citizens and interests overseas," the warning said. "U.S. citizens are reminded that demonstrations and rioting can occur at any time."

The updated warning says future al-Qaida attacks could involve "non-conventional weapons such as chemical or biological agents" as well as explosives.

... The short warning updates a similar warning issued last fall and expires in September 2005. It gives no source for assertions about al-Qaida or other terrorist capabilities.

10. No, they do, they're just jealous of us and our leaders

that's why they want to attack us, it's plain old jealousy. They want a president just like ours, and stuff. And I want to give him to them! Except I wouldn't wish upon anyone else the insanity that is shrub and his followers...

4. Umm, is this new? We've been isolated more and more for the last 4 years.

I guess they don't want us spending our dollars outside.

12. I think this is an intentional link up to the protests in

Lebanon today.
Massive pro-Syria demonstrations. Some people carrying very anti-US signs. Too big to ignore it. So issue a terror warning : "U.S. citizens are reminded that demonstrations and rioting can occur at any time."
Hmmm. See, Syria, and anyone that supports Syria, are a danger to you.

13. It's time to start tattooing all bush supporters on their forehead

They're so proud of him, let them travel abroad with the Mark of the Beast displayed. I sure as hell don't want anyone mistaking me for a Stepford American. Those who don't wear the Mark can travel in relative safety, and bush supporters can finally get a clue as to exactly how much animosity their "dear leader" has inflamed.

I suggest a "G" be tattooed, for "gullible." Of course, we'll tell them it stands for "George."

14. Two words say it all:

NO DUH.
