Is this a leak in preparation for other news? Just asking!

3. You'd BETTER be f^(#ing scared. Not of Iran,
but of Bushco starting WWIII as a diversion from their domestic problems.

2. Building their case for an attack
You know, the one they swear isn't in the plans...


Whenever they say one thing, bet on the other.

5. My thoughts, exactly.
Just happened to think...whatever happened to the "terra" color codes? They must be protecting us, as they haven't announced a change in levels for a long time.

9. I've always felt that was a big hoax too...
Just a way to manipulate emotions on a mass scale. Nothing is accidental. I think they have laid low with this little ploy and will bring it out, dust it off, and terrorize us with it to put the heat on just before they strike out at Iran.

17. IIRC the terror code changed pretty regularly in concert
with political necessities for a while, but even the night-show comedians began noticing the pattern & making fun of the whole thing, so it sorta died under the cruel lash of ridicule.

10. Yes, but that tidbit of information gets in the way of war propaganda
Who told this to ABC News? Who was the source? Remember "Curved Ball" who told us that Saddam had WMD?

15. Before I panic
Before I panic, I want assurances that these "sources" are in no way, shape or form within the Bush regime or associated with it or a right wing "think tank".
