From the White House: The Intelligence Community believes that terrorists will attempt multiple attacks against U.S. targets worldwide in the event of a U.S led military campaign. A large volume of reporting across a range of sources, some of which are highly reliable, indicates that terrorists probably would attempt to launch terrorist attacks against U.S. interests claiming they were defending Muslims.

3. "probably"

Doesn't that just say it all about this "threat level" system? Not "certainly", or "likely", just "probably". Good enough!

PS Nice try at a Thursday Outrage!

19. More specifically, the OP is an altered version of the March 2003 alert under Bush:

March 17, 2003 – Raised from Yellow to Orange

From the White House: The Intelligence Community believes that terrorists will attempt multiple attacks against U.S. and Coalition targets worldwide in the event of a U.S led military campaign against Saddam Hussein. A large volume of reporting across a range of sources, some of which are highly reliable, indicates that Al-Qaida probably would attempt to launch terrorist attacks against U.S. interests claiming they were defending Muslims or the Iraqi people rather than Saddam Hussein’s regime.

I await the return of the thread starter, with an explanation of what the thread is for, with interest.

[FSogol]

21. You might be waiting awhile. There is a lot more disingenuous outrage to be spread.

[grahamhgreen]

33. Oops, I forgot my sarcasm thingy! Fixing!

[AngryAmish]

17. I hoped, i changed

[pinboy3niner]

18. I don't get concerned until it reaches Threat Level Purple

And I don't freak out until it gets to...

[NuclearDem]

23. No need to go making hay out of this.

[msanthrope]

39. Nice strawman. nt

[conservaphobe]

26. Looks like a lot of people on this thread want their picture added next to gullible.

And don't bother to click links before going full simpleton.

[cwydro]

28. Theat??

Eek!

[MADem]

29. The colors are long gone....POTUS realized that some people are

both intelligent and color blind, I guess...

The National Terrorism Advisory System, or NTAS, replaces the color-coded Homeland Security Advisory System (HSAS). This system will more effectively communicate information about terrorist threats by providing timely, detailed information to the public, government agencies, first responders, airports and other transportation hubs, and the private sector.

30. Is this meant to intentionally mislead?

[Initech]

31. The militaristic police are more of a threat to us than Isis is at the moment.

[VanGoghRocks]

34. Americans are 8 times more likely to be killed by a law enforcement officer than

they are by a foreign terrorist.

Sorry, the actuarlial statistics simply do not lie.

[ecstatic]

44. Agreed. nt

[Wounded Bear]

38. I kind of miss the terrorist threat mood ring...

[ecstatic]

40. what's so funny?

I don't get the joke.

[grahamhgreen]

42. Fool me once, Shame on you, fool me twice,

Shame on me.

Here are some of the terra threats we went through:

Terrorists would be disguised as: Homeless people, women with baby carriages, Santa Claus....

They would attack with pen guns, water, any bottle of liquid, shoes.


I find it quite amusing that we are getting fooled again

[ecstatic]

43. while I'm not worried, I'm not confident enough to mock

the warnings. Our intelligence is pretty good--the problem is, the cia,fbi,etc. isn't organized enough to put the intelligence to use to prevent certain attacks. For example, 911, the Boston bombers, etc.

41. The Brits are on RED now

UK terrorist threat level raised to 'severe', Theresa May says

The UK's terror threat level is being raised from "substantial" to "severe", Home Secretary Theresa May has said.
