No raise in terror level threat?
What a crock. Experts are saying that the two tapes
released do indicate a potential threat. And yet, the
level remains at yellow.

Why is that? My theory is that Rove & Co. have raised
it so often when it wasn't called for, that now, when it
may indeed be appropriate, they don't dare. To use one of
their own analogies...they have too often cried "Wolf".

One again, this indicates to me just how low this administration
will stoop to stay in office.

Less than 90 days...

5. Yes, I do.
They have raised it for far less than this.
The same night the Bin Laden tape was released,
I watched an expert on the Middle East on one of
the news channels.

He believed the OBL video, plus the one by the American
a couple days earlier, were a threat that should be taken
very seriously.

Before everyone jumps all over me...I am not one to sit
around and worry about terrorism here at home. I am not
just trolling in an attempt to scare people.

I honestly believe there may be a threat this time, and
that Bush knows it.

6. Give me a break
Both tapes were staged, if u think there is a conspiracy to mess the elections up then it would be to raise the terror level so no one goes and votes. I think your a troll. Prove me wrong!

7. I don't have to prove anything to you...
I never said it was a conspiracy. I am voicing
my opinion, nothing more.

4. I think they would LIKE to raise it but have finally figured out it'd be
seen (correctly, IMO) as a political/cynical move. But I've pretty much given up trying to deduce the mentality (?) of this bunch of evil bastards...
