If this were SOP, the call would not have come in today, it would have been planned months ago.

This suggests that something new has come up.

Still seeking confirmation.

Anyone know anyone in the Red Cross in Detroit?

My dad was right when he said "The only thing worse than a poor loser, is an ungracious winner".

Congrats to UT on the National Championship... and wait'll next year!

There are some whispers in the wind of a terrorist threat for February 5th. Detroit/Dearborn area has a huge Islamic population, not to mention its proximity to tolerated radical groups in Toronto. Hopefully its precautionary stuff that will amount to nothing.

Keep your ears and eyes to any unexplained Muslim exodus from the D area.

Lots of us began praying about this eventuality awhile ago now.
It's time for imprecatory prayer. The US needs mercy.

After the failed attack on Al-Zawahiri (though QUITE successful in killing some scumbags!) Al-Jizzra played a tape of Zawahiri reading "an ode to martyrs". Some commentators believed that this was in fact an obituary to Zawahiri - we now know that this was false (Zawahiri is still alive). If it wasn't an obituary, could it have been an ode to "future" martyrs?

Then we get bin Laden offering the US a "truce". This is (was) SOP for the Muslims before attacking the Crusaders.

Now (today, Al-Jizzra publishes the rest of Zawahiri's video tape) we see him offering Bush the chance to "convert to Islam". Again, this was SOP for Muslims fighting the Crusaders prior to an attack.

All the signs are there.

Nope, they are there to carry the Buss off after he gets four flats, and to treat the drowning victims of the Pitts coach's spitting.....

Yeah. I'd REALLY like to know where the Al-Jizzra TV correspondants are headed...

if anything "big" occurs, it will be overseas.

if anything happens in Detroit, it will be Paris style car burnings by the local islamofascists during the game, in the hopes of attracting media attention.

I think I agree. While that would be the perfect venue, it just seems too hard a target to attack.

On the other hand, ANY attack during the SB will get the immediate (and live TV coverage) attention of 100 million Americans...

Do we ALLOW Al-Jizz correspondents into the US?

Superbowl terror threat thread

Covers lots of the angles.

Saw that. Not really impressed with WND, though I participated in that thread.

But at the time, ALL officials were talking about "no chatter", "no possibility", "largest security force ever assembled for a one day event", yoddity, yoddity.

What bugs me is that a call came in TODAY for Red Cross reinforcements.

Again, this suggests that something has come up that no one counted on...

No, I think it's too keep the panic factor down. Imagine trying to give a SOTU address right after you cancelled the SuperBowl.

I won't be watching the game; but will be burning it to DVD just in case anything happens. Y'hate t'miss stuff like that.

That may be. Like I said, it's unconfirmed (I trust my friend, but I don't expect anyone else to!).

But Red Cross doesn't prepare for police or military situations. They prepare for civilian situations.

Again, if there are any MI FReepers who work for the Red Cross and who can confirm (or DENY) this, we'd all be much obliged!

Did the Red Cross already stock up on supplies, and are just now getting around to lining up volunteers? If they stockpiled supplies in advance, this may just be their scheduled time to line up volunteers. If they're beginning to gather supplies, then this is something new. Can you find out?
