THIS COULD BE IT PEOPLE!!FBI Issues Terror Warning for Calif
http://news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&u=/ap/20040729/ap_on_go_ca_st_pe/terror_warning

<snip>
WASHINGTON - The FBI (news - web sites) warned police in California and New Mexico that it received information about possible terrorist activity in their states. However, the warning wasn't specific about particular targets or a method of attack, a federal law enforcement official said Thursday.

.S. officials earlier this month warned that a regular stream of intelligence indicates al-Qaida wants to attack the United States to disrupt the upcoming elections.


Homeland Security Secretary Tom Ridge has said the government does not have specific knowledge about where, when or how an attack might take place.
<snip>


Ridge would like to add: Pass it on to the swing states, oh and good luck on your speech, Kerry!

Also, newspapers may be laced with ricin.

27. Fear, fear, fear!!!!!!!!!!!!
Funny how they constantly use fear propaganda while also stating the world is a much safer place.

I am so sick of it, their desperation has me very concerned - they will not leave the WH willingly.

Our media is basically government run so no journalist ever brings up any questions re: * and his incompetence. We have a buffoon for a president and the media sold out.

11. They are so transparent, it's laughable!
Aren't 'terrorists' a group of people who threaten and commit acts of violence with the specific intention of inducing fear in a large populace in order to get what they want? Hmmmm.

14. I better go get the duct tape....in New Mexico here
Edited on Thu Jul-29-04 02:03 PM by DesertedRose
*sigh* this gets SOOOOOOOOOOO old!

Oh, and by the way, all the nuclear labs are on stand down right now, which means security is at its tightest...so it makes no sense NOW to try to attack Sandia or Los Alamos, or any military base.

What else is there? The Hatch, NM Green Chile vault? The UFO museum in Roswell? Donald Rumsfeld's ranch in Taos...(uh oh)

But seriously, I mean, REALLY. Enough already.

I am more worried about my checking account overdrawing than I am
"AQ striking" so even if the sky is falling...

WHO CARES!!



Pardon that angry outburst!

19. fluff removed - Read the real news article here!
>
possible terrorist activity warning wasn't specific about particular targets or a method of attack

unsubstantiated and uncorroborated who spoke only on condition of anonymity

vague warning in California, New Mexico and some other Western states official did not identify

government does not have specific knowledge about where, when or how an attack might take place

No terrorist-related activity has been reported.

22. Not yet, though. LIHOP #2 is scheduled for much closer to the "election"
If the laughable and crooked farce Imperial Amerika has this November could be called that.

24. When the next attack occurs, I predict
that there won't be any connection to a "warning" and that it will be in a totally unpredictable form. These guys are not stupid, they don't have a short time line and we are a bumbling soft bellied giant.

There is not even any public discourse by any of the candidates for public office over the major issues which have caused the attacks.
