absent additional intelligence, there is no reason to raise the terror alert just because some jihadi can use a camcorder and make a tape.
Maybe not, maybe I am a bit of a sensationalist, but what I am first and formost is a patriot, and second of all a die-hard republican. I woke up to the events on 9/11, my sleep disrupted by hearing Cavuto talk about a then thought "accidental" crash into the north tower, and saw on LIVE TV the second plane hit the south tower. If ABC believes its a terror threat and is authentic, and the CIA and FBI have independently authenticated it, then pre or post election, our homeland is in iminent danger of attack, and all measures must be taken to either prevent it, contain and minimize the damage if unavoidable (someone willing to kill themselves is darn near impossible to stop), and retaliate massively following such. As such they need to open the silos, sortie the bombers (target: Mecca and Medina) put fighters in the air in major cities, mobilize all stateside national guard units and put the city county and state police on full alert, becuase if something like this happens, America needs to do to Islam what Rome did to Carthage, destroy their lands and sow the ground with SALT!!!!
