No, but there are plenty who are suffering over the knowledge that he WON'T win it! ;-)
I'm certain our "intelligence" (terminology used loosely for this post) will find the foreigners perpetrating these candid snapshots are "innocent as the day they were born" and they will be considered no threat just like all the others who have done the same with no repercussions (or is it just my imagination???)

"As Elections Near, Graham Urges Prayer for Iraqi Church"
By Allie Martin
December 9, 2004
ARTICLE SNIPPET: "(AgapePress) - The founder of the Christian relief organization Samaritan's Purse says believers in Iraq are thriving in spite of intense danger, but recent terrorist attacks have resulted in an exodus of believers from the war-torn nation.
Samaritan's Purse recently organized a medical airlift and relief convoy in Iraq, and has also helped establish and supply several Iraqi hospitals since the fall of the Saddam Hussein regime. The ministry is working to relieve suffering, and to offer as much support and assistance as possible to the Iraqi Church. Franklin Graham, founder and president of Samaritan's Purse, says there is a strong remnant of believers in the Middle Eastern country.
"Churches are being targeted right now, being blown up by these Muslim radical fanatics," Graham says. "It's a very dangerous place." Still, he acknowledges, "God's got His people there. There's a growing church in Baghdad.""

"Swastikas painted on synagogue"
By Sam Stanton -- Bee Staff Writer
Published 2:15 am PST Thursday, December 9, 2004
ARTICLE SNIPPET: "Striking on the eve of Hanukkah, someone painted swastikas throughout the South Lake Tahoe area Monday, including on the local synagogue, where they also scrawled the words, "Die Jew."
The Nazi symbols were painted with red spray paint and appeared on road signs and utility boxes around the South Lake Tahoe area, said Rabbi Jonathan Freirich of Temple Bat Yam, a 22-year-old synagogue with a congregation of about 100.
One of the swastikas was painted on the main window of the temple's sanctuary and another was on a door leading into the synagogue.
The words "Die Jew" also were painted there, along with Nazi lightning bolt symbols, Freirich said."

LOL!
Not your imagination, at all.
Thank goodness though, we have that evil Martha Stewart locked away. ;-)
landing approach maybe . . .
Bored is right. Landing approach is more dangerous anyway, since the pilots are depending on split-second timing. Any problems are magnified in this period.
Where do they get it? I personally think the Chinese are selling it to the Koreans are selling it to AQ.
Terrorists using ATM scheme to fund networks: French judge says Caucasus is al-Qaida training ground
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1298559/posts

Associated Press
PARIS - Radical Islamic cells in Europe are using an ingenious way to finance terrorist networks that's virtually impossible to trace: withdrawing hundreds of thousands of dollars a month from cash machines with fake credit cards, according to France's top anti-terrorism judge.
Jean-Louis Bruguiere, who's been at the forefront of the fight against terrorism for 20 years, said the Caucasus has replaced Afghanistan as a key militant training ground for Osama bin Laden's al-Qaida network and other groups around the world.
Bruguiere said militant financing networks are small, scattered around the world and represent millions of dollars in fund-raising for terrorists.
The judge said authorities caught on to the cash-machine scheme two years ago when investigators uncovered one such financing cell operating in France.
Ten suspected Islamic militants were withdrawing more than $100,000 a month from cash machines in other European countries, where they were arrested.
"The (Islamic) European networks finance themselves primarily through microfinancing systems — criminal activity that is very profitable," he said Wednesday.
Judges who specialize in financial crimes are trained only in macrofinancing investigations — large sums involving banks, Bruguiere said. Therefore, little attention has been paid to this "fraudulent use of bank cards," the judge said. "So it is very difficult to catch."
Bruguiere said he calls the cards "clones."
The technique appears to be similar to a sophisticated electronic scam that involved cash machines in Britain in March. There, police found cloning devices attached to the machines.
