Don't mention it, Miss Marple

+ To God be the Glory ...

[Miss Marple]

Well, I think I will go pour myself a nightcap. What an unnerving evening!

[JustPiper]

Every tidbit is on the thread Bird and Toespi, the attack on NYE is just supposition, most Freeper's believe the attacks will be 2-2-04

What I got in email:

WASHINGTON (AP) Government plans "extensive and considerable" protections as threat level goes to orange, or high risk of terrorist attack.

WASHINGTON (AP) Homeland security chief says threat indicators are "perhaps greater now than at any point" since Sept. 11, 2001.

As usual, vague from the government

The attack on this nations resources by illegal criminal aliens are just as much a TERRORIST THREAT as politically driven Islamofacists are! The revenue required to service this debacle is staggering and how long do you think the money will hold out before this country flat out goes BANKRUPT? Don't tell me this cannot happen; look around at all the programs and military expenditures being forked over to keep this country afloat. There is a point of no return out there bobbing around in the Ozone. Don't think for a moment this is all political, it is all designed to attack our economy. Look how the country went into a freefall in every respect after 9/11! Sugar Daddy America cannot afford the maintenance and upkeep on the NANNY STATE any longer. Deport every single illegal alien you can lay your hands on! Bring in some Israeli engineers to start a Wall program on our Southern Border! Start with stringing wire fences with electronic contact sensors with Guard Towers to reenforce Fortress America, then we look North. Start using all this hight technology to monitor our borders that the government has been appropriating from us over the years. We have Space age optics that can direct focal resolution down to one meter square that can tell if you brushed your teeth good that morning! May as well start getting good use out of all of your and my tax money!

rintense - just discussed your theory with Mr. Peach and he, who was in state and federal law enforcement, sees definite possibilities in what you have said. Now I'll be one of those having a sleepless night.

[Peach]

Yes. Me too.

Wasn't President Bush scheduled for Camp David but didn't go?

[JustPiper]

I 'thought' he gave tips on vigilance?

[Peach]

You mean you haven't made a Martini yet? I'm on my second glass a wine, a nearly unheard of occurrence.

[Pubbie]

I'm peeved that he suggested 12 million illegals should be given amnesty - it makes his judgement very suspect.

maybe he was a good governor - but I think he's out of his league in HS.

The last time I was worried about an attack bill was in china of all places.

9-11 he was in Australia.

[TBall]

I don't know it has been a week since saddam was captured. That is a long time to stay awake.

[hummingbird]

Hey, what do I know about neighborhoods, I was a little kid!

I still am a little kid! Stay safe, too.

[Miss Marple]

No martinis today; I have had too much work to do to get ready for Christmas.

I am having a scotch on the rocks right now, though! LOL!

[Peach]

The book is still sitting on the desk and I've thumbed through the table of contents and index, etc. I don't see anything specific.

His tips were really things LE has to do and things regarding our borders. If there was more, I just don't remember it from reading it last year.

It's a very interesting read and the pictures of 9/11 are a painful reminder of that day.

[rintense]

Don't lose sleep over it. That's exactly what these bozos in caves want. I have faith in God that he will protect those who are right- and smite those who would try to advance evil in this world. Of course, I just saw 'Return of the King', so I'm feeling pretty positive that good will triumph over evil.

[JustPiper]

You'll be fine Toespi, I have law enforcement in Vegas and will mail you if ever I get a tip.

The warning on Vegas was vague for a 30 day + period
12-1-03 to 1-1-04, it was just a personal belief that Vegas on NYE would be ideal for them

[oceanview]

Libya cannot cover its butt by "outing" themselves a week before the event takes place. If a Libyan WMD hits the US, Libya is gone, this last minute confession isn't going to save them. Can you imagine that Bush would go to a microphone trumpeting this Libya thing, only to have a Libyan WMD passed to AQ hit the US a week later? it doesn't wash.

[JustPiper]

Pegita would you post a daily forward on the ongoing thread?

[Peach]

Scotch - no there's a real drink.

If this gets ratcheted up any more tomorrow, I'll be hitting the vodka martini stuff. Since I'm cooking Christmas dinner for a large family, having a large New Year's Eve party and helping a mother with back spasms, all while having my own (which this second glass of wine is definitely helping), drinking vodka martinis will definitely impede my housework schedule!
