1. Remember the last time they did this
they did state that nobody woudl if nothing happened

I fear they have reached the point of the boy who cried wolf too much

We need to send George a copy of the tale and have the wife read it to him, as Uncurious goerge does not read

Oh and btw the Millenium threat, they NEVER RAISED the alert in a way that you or I noticed and they still foiled it...

3. I'm glad they didn't too!
I don't take the alerts all that seriously because really what can I do about it? but I don't see how having nothing happen is a negative.

4. So do you think they'll fake a "small-scale" terror attack just to keep
people in fear & on their toes? I wouldn't put it past this group!

2. The French said there was nothing that showed any evidence there was
terrorism on any of their flights. Why would anyone believe these clowns after their so-called intelligence has been wrong before. When do they take it back down to yellow and tell everyone oops!

8. Yeah, and once again the French seem to be targeted.
I'm sure this cost Air France a pretty euro.

Has an airline from another country been targeted like this before?

9. I didn't believe it the last billion times...
...and the only reason I believed it somewhat this time because on of the "targets" mentioned was really close to me. Nope, I ain't never believing that shit again.

10. No one believed this one.
Seeing Tom Ridge, with his phony use of the world "Homeland" (I swear to god the way he said it, you know it was scripted, it sounded so unnatural, and who really talks like that), fooled nobody.

Bunch of Assholes. We we almost 100 years without a succesful foreign attack on our home soils, and they go and fuck it up (after Clinton loaned them his NS aide for consult on Osama among other things), and proceed to milk it for the political potential. I'm not so happy with the Democrats, but the current Republican administration, with its bullshit policies and completely far-right cabinet, almost make the Democrats look like saints.
