U.S. Safely Passes Latest Terror Milestone
:puke:

WASHINGTON - The terror attack that Attorney General John Ashcroft warned of last spring never happened, President Bush's inauguration marking the last of a series of major events that he considered prime targets.


U.S. officials and counterterror experts say it's unclear whether any plots were thwarted, and they warn the relative quiet should not be viewed as evidence terrorists have turned their attention elsewhere.


Back in May, Ashcroft and other senior administration officials said intelligence channels had picked up persistent indications that the al-Qaida network or its confederates wanted to mount an attack aimed at disrupting the U.S. elections. "A clear and present danger" was how Ashcroft described it.

snip..

Nothing happened.

1. Nothing happened.
That sums it all up.

It was a very "quiet" milestone. Good thing they pointed it out to me. I had forgotten to be afraid.

3. They are not a joke.
They are very fashionable colors.

6. No, they don't bother us.
They give us honorable mention occasionally (like the Boston dirty bomber passing through NYC), but for the most part they don't involve us in all these terra lerts.

As for fashion, we are stuck at orange, eternal orange. We've been orange since 9/11. No color wheel of fascism excitement in NYC.

7. what the hell is a Terror Milestone?
Edited on Sat Jan-22-05 07:05 AM by ixion
Is there a roadmap for Terror somewhere?

People have lost their minds if they accept this as meaningful language, IMO. :crazy:


Oh, and nothing happened IS NOT NEWS!

"Gee, we don't know if we thwarted anything, we don't know much of anything about anything and you can print that." :eyes:

9. Indeed, you beat me to it.
What is this a project plan or something?
Do we have terror tiger-teams and terror progress measurement methodologies?
