I think it's something during the World Series. I'm a bit uncomfortable about all the press and advanced notice of Bush's planned attendance at the game tonight.

About three weeks ago there was an article here about Al Gore who headed up a committee to investigate airline security - and in that article it was stated that Gore found nothing to improve upon in regards to airline security. The article went on to say that just after this - the 1996 Clinton/Gore re-election campaign received $700 thousand from six major airlines. Who can help me locate this article please? (I did different searches but can't pull up this recent article)

The current threat is much more serious/dangerous than anything to date. A suitcase nuke on the loose in the USA was the level of concern that I detected. That was the impression I got. I didn't even need to hear what he had to say. I just thought, "oh sh--." I hope I'm wrong.

I think it's something during the World Series. I'm a bit uncomfortable about all the press and advanced notice of Bush's planned attendance at the game tonight. Heard on the radio a bit ago that the monitored threat (precipitating the new warning) referred to "the big event." That reinforces the theory that this is part of a long-planned strategy. 1. They plan for years for 9/11. 2. They count on a US response. 3. They plan for years for that counter-response. . ..
They did not know where game three of the World Series would be a year or two ago. Sure, the World Series could be a target of opportunity, as is anyplace a lot of people are . . . But I don't think this warning is related to the World Series. Bush may be safer there than in DC!
Whatever it is, it is likely something that they have been planning for a while. Let's hope (and pray) the feds et al follow all the bread crumb trails quickly enough to thwart the plan!

Sorry, ChaseR; if
you couldn't locate that piece?
I wouldn't stand an ice cube's chance in hell.
Still, I clearly recall you mentioning this
at least once before, as well as asking for any & all help locating the data, FWIW.
I'm sure you've long ago tried, but I'll not take [it] for granted & ask you anyway if you've asked Alamo Girl??

The current threat is much more serious/dangerous than anything to date. A suitcase nuke on the loose in the USA was the level of concern that I detected. . . . That was the impression I got. That would track with the "big event" comment. And point to a strategic target. Federal level? Is that why traces of anthrax have been found in the past day or two in almost ALL important gov't agencies? Wouldn't that account for why Ashcroft looked "ashen" (sorry for the pun . . .)?
Not that mass casualties of civilians in a city would not be horrible enough. But it is these guys' responsibility to keep our gov't funcitoning, and maintain a functional chain of command for response. That is serious business, so they would be serious about a threat at that level . . .
Anyway, I pray they are prepared for an instant response if it is something that they can't stop. But I am not convinved it can't be stopped. Whatever it is!!

Good points. Maybe this is the *one* time I'd like to be living next to a g-man (or woman). Watch what the family does.

He looked so worn and tired. Keep praying for him and for our nation that NO WEAPON FORMED AGAINST US WOULD PROSPER. Chuck Pierce, national intercessor for America, has especially asked us to pray for water conduits this next 21 days, plus shipping channels, banks and the banking system, airports--you get the idea. PRAY! God is the only one who can protect these places.
To: AMDG
Some of the intercessors for America have been prompted by the Holy Spirit to pray for Washington, DC. They feel an attack on that city is being planned. For what it's worth...Mary
To: Marysecretary
Reminding us to do what we should be doing anyway, but it is so easy these days to get distracted! THX!
To: AMDG&BVMH
Good Point. They couldn't know where the WS games were going to be held.

Chase,
I can't locate the specific FR thread, but here's the html-challenged link to the article "Why airline security failed; Gore commission study material still classified" from World Net Daily:

I caught professor Jon Turley from GWU on FOX last night, discussing the need for a Constitutional ammendment to provide for the possibility that a terrorist attack could paralysize our legislative branch by killing a majority of our representatives in the House.
Currently in the absence of a quorum NOTHING can legally happen. TOTAL SHUTDOWN.

ROFLOL that is the funniest thing I have heard in a month.
Glad you liked it. I get creative every so often... :-)
