1. If so . . .
Then I was right!! I called Friday on that earlier thread wondering when it was gonna go googly.

Not the biggest gamble I ever took, of course . . .

3. John King on CNN said White House is considering raising the alert level
Surprise!


1) Release the tape

2) Raise alert level

3) Cancel election

9. Only the sheeple will be too scared to go out
and vote. I believe that does not hurt John Kerry.

19. You're right
Edited on Fri Oct-29-04 04:53 PM by Ravenswood
it went up over the summer (I think around the Dem convention - in general I tend not to pay too much attention to the alert system). They must've dropped it back down.

Here's the Current Threat Advisory for everyone's Viewing Pleasure

7. Im not sure what OBL said, Ive only heard snips - IS there a threat
in the tape? Just from what Ive heard, I would say no. People are saying he's speaking to the American people explaining why we were attacked. I havent heard anyone say there's a threat in there. Or am I being stupid?

13. He appealed to the American People!
"Your security is not in the hands of Kerry or Bush or al-Qaeda. It is in YOUR OWN hands..."

14. No, no threat. Not at all.
He practically explained 9/11 and pointed out the failures of the B*sh admin. both before and after that day. He said they don't hate us for our freedom, like B*sh said.

No threat. Just talking. Slamming B*sh and then endorsing him.

12. Of course. Bush has been getting bad press, so they had to raise the terr
terror alert level. Has no one else stopped to think they have probably been sitting on the UBL tape for a while and released it today on purpose to get the press of the missing explosives, Haliburton, etc., etc.?

17. I have no doubt that's exactly what they did.
Now they are floating the "raise alert level" balloon.
