I was figuring they wouldn't raise it. I can't imagine the uproar on the Democrats side. It would be denounced as scare tactics aimed at making the U.S. people vote Bush.
That said, I don't think the nationwide threat level means anything anymore. Levels have been raised at specific industry and in NYC/N. Jersey/DC for some time. I would imagine that these tapes may have led them to step up security in certain areas.
I'm hearing from a few friends ITK that the level will be raised...but not today
"I believe ExSoldier has mentioned the usefulness of firearms to stave-off looters. Once people notice that you seem to have it together they might try to help themselves. Sounds like you're in pretty good shape.
My pro-gun family on the other hand is not so well prepared. We don't even have a shotgun. What a bunch of dufuses! Oh well, maybe my stockpile of pepper-spray will hold off the hordes."
I am soooo unprepared. I put it off and something happened leaving me in a position where I just don't have enough time to get ready, assuming there will be some kind of an attack in the near future. I don't even have masks or bottled water. I was at least able to stock up on a nice arsenal of insulin and related meds and supplies for my baby though (my baby being 12, heh).
Yeah maybe so, just hope they have it raised in the right area's cause if we get hit & it's not up then the left will use it against the Administration.
one possible area of increased threat is Florida
Looks like they decided against raising it.

I saw tht Gadhan, or whatever its name is, tape this morning or last night night on Fox. I have to agree with someone else's post yesterday I think that it is not Gadhan but rather the same guy in the Jakel image. The eyes are different and the width/height of the forhead is different. Albeit, the dude in the tape looks familar and sound familar. I think we have seen him before I just can't place it.
The Madrid train bombings were on 3/11/04, on a Thursday.
I posted this yesterday during the flurry of activity:
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1243381/posts?page=2796#2796
Reminder:
Spain's election day was March 14th. The Madrid attacks occurred on the 11th. (3 days difference)
Chechnya's election day was August 29th. The twin plane bombings in Russia occurred on the 25th (4 days difference)
Today is the 29th (4 days out).
Thanks can't believe I forgot that date.
"The Americans have to know one point only which is; if GWB lose the election the terrorists will declare victory and their attacks will get worse and their cells will sneak every where by two major ways. First is by nuclear mushroom like spread in ME and Africa while the second spread will be octopus like spread with long arms inside Europe and US."
"The terrorists fears GWB and will take a deep breath and expand if he is losing!"
Again, for what it's worth.
Thanks for posting this. I just caught this on the other thread and was going to hop over here with it. This is serious business. I think it is a mistake not to raise the threat level. Here we have a threat from OBL himself and we're not going to raise the alert? We have raised it in the past for less than this. God forbid something happens.
"It is likely that chemical plus conventional high explosives may be used"
hmmmm-now, going back to their plan of using our own things against us...attack chemical and nuclear plants?
Bhopal, India
Northeast New Jersey would be a likely target...
Former Ambassador Ginsberg on Fox:
(paraphrased)
It is likely that the intelligence community believes that these tapes in combination are a signal for attacks against the U.S. or allied forces.
Also recall those jihadi threats" breathe deeply when the time comes- it will be easier that way..."
recall the chems they had amassed in Jordan?
So why aren't they raising the terror alert? This doesn't make sense. As someone else already said, they've raised it for a lot less reason in the past. If this is political, it's rediculous.
The latest threat talks about how we won't be able to count the bodies. A chemical attack would deliver on those numbers. This is deadly serious.
