Where have all the terror warnings gone?
I caught this at kos vis Josh Marshall, but had asked myself the same question a few days ago.

2. Don'tcha worry!
They'll be back in PLENTY of time to get the repukes re-elected come next November (unless we stop it)

I figure they'll wheel OBL out of the icebox this spring...should be thawed out and reanimated by summer.

3. Ah, the most predictable outcome of the * electoral heist -
are ANY of us here surprised to see the terralerts vanish, since they were nothing more than the repeated application of fear on our regrettably stupid, gullible public?

4. costs to much money ,time,and no one believed them
it costs tens millions of dollars across the country every time they raised the alert level. all local, state,federal law enforcement, and first responders were put on alert or put on overtime. federal law enforcement had to drop investigations and go on terror alert...yup, all to boost georgie boy`s delusions

6. The Social Security crisis was the new product
after the '04 election. * can only concentrate on one thing at a time so the whole terrorism thing was dropped...

...until months later the neocons realised that SS reform was a flop and that terrorism was their ONLY strongpoint, so they started capturing al-Qaeda #3's again etc.
