i have to tell you, I think Bush is pushing this too far with the rhetoric this time. the media is now taking it and spreading fear. if its that bad, go to code red during the holiday period.

Code Red will never happen until we are under attack. That is the only reason it is on the chart. We are technically on the highest color we will ever get to before an actual attack is going on.

Can't. The "Elmo" level shuts down transportation, business, etc.Think of Sept 11-12-that's what Red is like.

I think we just might see that.

And that will improve things... exactly how...........?

I'm not getting a fear-based mentality where I live. People have decided to stay with their program and move on, chatter or not.

I am questioning it as well. I expect the media to make something out of nothing if it's a slow news week, but a lot of the messages coming out of the government seem targeted to instill fear in people.

If and when we go to code red, shopping centers and transportation may be shut down, employers closed. Bad for the holidays.

If the administration just sat there and didn't warn us when the chatter is clearly very high risk, then the people of this nation would just go ballistic. I swear, he is damned if he does, and damned if he doesn't. I am convinced some people are not going to be pleased with anything he does no matter what. He did the right thing telling us.
