it only alarms the public with warnings that are too vague to be useful.

Typical liberal crybaby stuff!! Don't tell them anything and they'd cry 'foul', give them specifics and they'd be killing each other trying to evacuate some city!

Actually, I don't think many Americans are alarmed by the color codes at this point, since it's become such a joke. Comics, and even some conservative radio hosts are (finally) mocking the color codes. The Bush govt has done too much crying wolf.

I didn't believe Clinton, and I don't believe Bush. I assume his Orange Alerts are just lies to whip us up into war fever. The govt lies, regardless of who's in charge.

LOL! Thanks for the interesting peek into a mind seeped in ideology and hence divorced from Reality.

It will soon be two years since 9/11. We have no way of knowing all the failed attempts that have been made since then. I don't mind the alert system, we should all be alert to anything suspicous. As I said, what would happen if we weren't 'put on alert' and something happened?

And if President Bush had kept everything quiet, had no system made, and never alerted anyone of the possibility of trouble, then you guys would bellyache even more. You can't have it both ways, my dears.

Comics, lefties, and even some on the right can and have made fun of the code. So what ? What does that prove ? NOTHING; that's what.

Be careful, the Bush lovers will attack you if you question their hero's socialist programs. I know, they chalk it up to clever politics, but, the fact remains, he's spent almost two trillion of NEW spending on his and his partners ( the democrats) since he's been in office, He's also made an enormous government power grab with "patriot 1" and "homeland (read Fatherland) acts. Bush is to conservatism as prostitution is to virginity.
