Threat levels make the USA look foolish to the world.
If there is a threat, track those down who are responsible and eliminate the threat. Announce victory over the "threat" once the threat is neutralized. To announce vague threats, even when supposedly against specific targets is foolish at the very least, and foolhardy if one is trying to track and eliminate terrorists.

I'm sure "Terrorist Bob" and his friends are so pissed right now that the Dept of Fascist Security has seen through their devious plans. After all, I'm sure it took a hell of a lot of planning to decide to ram a bomb-laden truck into a specific building.

Rather, if true, don't you think Terrorist Bob and friends are now saying, well, fuck'em, there are other buildings.

This is disgustingly and transparently a lie. A lie piled on many other lies.

1. Where is the truck? Where is the bomb?
I'll believe all of this when somebody produces an actual truck, bomb, evidence of a truck or bomb, or one single guy caught red handed.

Can you imagine how hard it would be to obtain large bomb making stuff in this country?

2. It's quite easy to build a large bomb..
...if you know what you are doing. It is also quite easy to get your hands on radioactive material if you are so inclined.

4. Facts please.
I'll bet that you don't have the slightest idea what you are taking about.

3. Are there any good forums like this on the net
where people from other countries discuss US policies and scare tactics? I'd like to see what they think.
