Great Talking Points for Us on Recent Terror Alert

[louis c]

Everyone I talk to, including Bush supporters, are embarrassed by the most recent terror alerts.

My opening is that they made a major terror alert announcement Sunday using information that was compiled before September 11th. How could this be such a major announcement, other than to have some political impact?

Next, how could it have any affect on those working in those designated buildings or in that specific vicinity, if the tell them to go about their business as usual, since they have no specific time frame of the threat?

By giving us this threat information in such an urgent fashion, with no arrests in the U.S., no direct conformation, and so close to the threat fiasco a month ago when Ashcroft forget to tell Ridge, don't we make any other threat, regardless of it's merit, a subject of skepticism?

In closing, I reply that all I get out of theses supposed terror alerts is two things, be afraid and vote for Bush. I happen to choose neither.

The Bush folks have no answer, and are left looking like idiots.
