[ken5050]

That doesn't play with their constituencies back home in the Arab hoods...

[OXENinFLA]

Here in Florida, we take our orange status very seriously

Why is it that they sell only California Oranges at my supermarket and not Florida Oranges?

[angcat]

What the heck should we do if it is red? I am breaking out now with hives! I will be watching the sky for missiles!

[COBOL2Java]

Why are citizens, who have no clue as to the inside poop ,being polled....am I missing something....do have a nose....where's my Dristan!!!!

Gives the sheeples something to do. Like shopping for duct tape...

[evets]

I lost my yellow

If it gets red, we should run for the hills.

[SouthParkRepublican]

Markets are responding in the usual fasion.

4. High Condition (Orange). A High Condition is declared when there is a high risk of terrorist attacks. In addition to the Protective Measures taken in the previous Threat Conditions, Federal departments and agencies should consider the following general measures in addition to the agency-specific Protective Measures that they will develop and implement:

Coordinating necessary security efforts with Federal, State, and local law enforcement agencies or any National Guard or other appropriate armed forces organizations; Taking additional precautions at public events and possibly considering alternative venues or even cancellation; Preparing to execute contingency procedures, such as moving to an alternate site or dispersing their workforce; and Restricting threatened facility access to essential personnel only.

5. Severe Condition (Red). A Severe Condition reflects a severe risk of terrorist attacks. Under most circumstances, the Protective Measures for a Severe Condition are not intended to be sustained for substantial periods of time. In addition to the Protective Measures in the previous Threat Conditions, Federal departments and agencies also should consider the following general measures in addition to the agency-specific Protective Measures that they will develop and implement:

Increasing or redirecting personnel to address critical emergency needs; Assigning emergency response personnel and pre-positioning and mobilizing specially trained teams or resources; Monitoring, redirecting, or constraining transportation systems; and Closing public and government facilities.

Nah. If it gets red, I'm breaking out the necessary provisions...

[angcat]

Run for the hills, run for your life. That song just popped into my head. Iron Maiden if I remember correctly!

[freeperfromnj]

Are they using the word "imminent" in the U.S. or just Saudi?

Good question. Articles from a couple of hours ago suggested they were considering raising it over the next couple of days. Suddenly we're at orange. I would tend to take it seriously.

[farmfriend]

Let me know when something blows up.

Why is it that they sell only California Oranges at my supermarket and not Florida Oranges?

Because Tropicana gets all the commercially grown oranges around here. LOL--get your own tree! Better yet---my trees are loaded...bring a bushel basket or three.

I wanted to let you know that we have put out a general ping for Prayer Warriors to mobilize over at the Troop Prayer thread. There have reportedly been credible threats against American interests in Saudi Arabia, elsewhere, and even perhaps stateside. For those who are so inclined, we invite you to join us in timely prayer for God to intercede in this matter. Lurkers' prayers are welcome!

An intercessory prayer on this matter is posted at 260 for your convenience.
Thank you so very much!

Rummy is on FNC. He also personally thanked Robert Duvall for his actions in supporting our troops - visiting hospitals, etc.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Does this mean we get to racially profile terrorists until the alert level is decreased?

Or do we still have to pretend 80-year old grandmas from Iowa are suspects too?

But what is the armadillo status?
