Good morning folks.

WOW! The 1-Year Anniversary. How time flies. I'd like to personally thank every TMer for their contributions to this important thread. Nowhere else is this type of information available. Nowhere else can I have a serious discussion about terrorism. Being able to discuss these threats not only keeps me aware of them, but also helps to keep me calm and rational for the simple reason that I can talk to intelligent folks about it. For that, I am in you dept to you all.

Well, GWB won and I am so relieved! That sends a clear message to OBL and his ilk that America will not be intimidated – by anyone, ever. We're all safer for it. Our prayers have been answered.

Now, back to the business of fighting terrorism. We know that the states that voted for Bush have been directly threatened by the latest OBL tape. Folks in those states need to stay on a higher alert than the blue states. Would it be worth posting a list of the red states v. the blue?

Since I’m in a red state I’ve been taking extra precautions with my company’s data. Ounce of prevention you know. Personally, I’ll continue to stay at a extra high level of alert until after the inauguration.

Gotta run, will check in later. Stay safe everyone!

I've been thinking alot about that. I'm still not convinced that OBL tape was authentic. Another problem- the areas he wants to "hit" tend NOT to be in the states that went for Bush. I don't know what to think.

Thoughts?

Amen a_d well said!! I imagine there will be a map somewhere when the final tally comes in for the red vs blue states. Someone will find it here I'm sure.

Yes, heads up Red States. I must say I am unconvinced that UBL would not want to still target the big cities in the Blue States.
