WASHINGTON (CNN) -- This week's deadly train bombings in Spain will not lead to a rise in the U.S. color-coded terror threat alert system, a Department of Homeland Security spokesman said Friday.
"Based on the current intelligence, we have no specific indicators that terrorist groups are considering such an attack in the U.S. in the near term," said department spokesman Brian Roehrkasse.

I agree and believe the same.
I but it seems that in all past official statements in this regard they have covered all bases, used all the terms, NBC, not just bio.
Is my memory correct or has it been said this way before?
Is this something we should take note of? Or just nothing more than phraseology that fit the place.

I have the worst time with these machine translations, I can't make head nor tails of them. Pick out some key words but I can never follow the sense of them.

A rocket propelled grenade could get to the 13th floor pretty easy, don't you think?

Well in my FEMA Emerg Mngmnt training, all I can say is BIO is the worst for obvious reasons. Then Nuclear, then chemical in that order. Bio is also the easiest to pull off and is the most deadly to the most people. So if the want the easiest route and the most deaths, BIO is it. If they want spectacular, nuke is it. I think they have access to it all. I just don't know why they haven't hit yet. Maybe waiting for complacency...or to see if EfnK wins the White House since they know he'll declare martial law on his own people and won't strike back against the real assasins. [Notice Bush did not go nuts and declare martial law after 9/11...I think a Rat would have and started the gun roundup with the jackboots]

Very interesting. Here is more DOLPHIN news:
Two dolphins die at Gulf World marine park
an Associated Press report 3/22/04
PANAMA CITY BEACH - Two young dolphins have died at a Panhandle marine park, and officials are awaiting test results to see if the deaths are related to the deaths of 77 dolphins that have washed ashore in the past two weeks.
Nemo, a 13-month old dolphin who was adopted by Gulf World after he was found stranded on a Georgia beach last May, died Saturday. Ripley, an 11-month-old female born at the park, died Wednesday.
Both dolphins were in good health before showing symptoms about a week ago, said Gulf World co-owner Ron Hardy.
They were experiencing twitches and Ripley was having trouble making squealing sounds.
Staff veterinarians were treating both dolphins for the symptoms, and Hardy said Nemo and Ripley were taking antiviral and other medications. Hardy said results from tissue samples expected within the new few weeks should indicate whether the cause of Nemo's and Ripley's deaths is related to the dolphin deaths in the Gulf of Mexico.
Gulf World animals swim in water taken from the Gulf of Mexico, but the dolphins eat fish that comes from the north Atlantic Ocean, Hardy said.
Preliminary test results indicate the deaths of the other dolphins may have been caused by biotoxin released by naturally occurring algae.
Laura Engleby, a biologist with the National Marine Fisheries Service, said the agency is still working to determine a cause of death for the dozens of dolphins.

That was much more than I thought. Oddly enough this was on CBS of all places. Seems as though the scientists are worried enough to check it out.

That's a possibility, and I thought it odd that it was located in Spain.

There was a post transfered from another forum not to long ago saying that Norad was on the highest level of alert against a bio attack. I wonder if that incident has stuck in TT's mind.

"I don't suppose that 4515sb thing could be a street address in Yemen?"I don't know, that's what is so frustrating about all this. It just sounds like a time to me because of the way the sentence is phrased.

Ok, now Israel needs to take this guy out immediately.
Then say "Next?"

No Oorang, just terribly naive. Those were the days of Leave it to Beaver, Sky King, Gunsmoke, Your Hit Parade and a world I'd love to crawl back into. LOL, and then approximately 3 years ago we thought our only fear and fight was loud blasting rap music

Yellowstone's Explosive SecretI've been avoiding this topic (sticking my head in the sand in avoidance) because it it goes, it will be disastrous for us and every state nearby. There's not a lot we can do about it short of moving elsewhere. Horrific would be an understatement.
