david the only reason youre saying that is cause big mommy government has kept you safe for the last five years

Once David Smith (commenter above) loses someone in a terrorist attack, he will realize that this is not a government/republican scheme to scare people but instead a war against evil people.

What bunch of BS, like the Bush Color-coded terror alerts. What do you do when Bush has the lowest ratings of any president in US history?

You got it!

Create FEAR as he did throughout his REIGN.

And of course, when the next attack happens, the libs are going to blame this on Bush and the US rather than the terrorists who committed the heinous act.

TO BRENDAN AND ALL LIBERALS

Oh Please Brendan, and if the attack happens, and people find out that both US and German officials knew about it beforehand but said nothing, what kind of spew would you be vomiting then? And I have no doubt that you and people who think like you (hate America, complain incessantly, but do nothing crowd) would be.

The same playbook you used when you got your hands on the 9/11 Commission report.

People who think the government wants us to give up our liberty and rights are the same people who will be first to complain that our government is'nt doing enough when a terror attack happens

remember - don't fear the terrorists, they are parents too. Right David?

It's about time Germany cuts off all financial and social aid to these Muslims and encourages them to go back home.

The Germans may as well pull out of Afghanistan. All they do is work out. The Luftwaffe is prohibited from flying at night there, because it is too dangerous.

actually, this is in response to the coming G8 protest in germany. they have already begun 'terror sweeps', arresting people, knocking out servers, et cetera - this terrorist threat is really nothing more than calling german and US citizens (who are planning on making their voices heard in front of the G8) terrorists in order to distort public percpetion. don't you people know what's going on in the world at all?

Poor Germany, and they've been so nice to them.

And when a big terror attack does happen, will you say the gov't. didn't do enough? Will you then blame them for not keeping us safe? I think some precautions must be taken- terrorism is real.

Yeah the usage of words like "imminent" is a sure fire way to sell fear, newspapers, memberships to the NRA. The fact of the matter is they have no idea how to battle terrorism properly. Leaking information only makes the government spend money foolishly and hapharzardly to "prepare" for a war with no boundaries. The media cannot win the wars only swift action using protected intelligence. Learn from the Israelis, they understand Terrorism better than anybody.

I wish I lived in David's world. Unfortunately, I live in reality where the clumsy terrorists practice target shooting and rent houses. Poor Democrats. They will flip if there is a terrorist attack before the presidential election. They have a need to understate terrorism since Republicans are strong on terrorism. Wh

David Smith...Know anyone that was killed on 9-11, or in Spain? If you were to expand you media coverage you would see that these scary terrorists don't care what side of the debate you are on...they want us gone. You think they are going to stop when GW leaves office? Get a clue.

Perhaps it's time to get your collective heads back out in the sunshine and face the fact that there is a group of people in the world who would like nothing better than to kill anyone who disagrees with their world view. They've declared war on the worldand it's hightime that the world fights back.

Hey Dave Smith -- I wish you were with me on the morning of 9/11 in NYC where i watched from miles away out of my office window as the 2nd plane hit... was that real? it's been 6 years now, it usually takes between 5-10 years for a monumental effort by these guys to go off.. '93 trade center attack, '98 bombing of us embassy, and sept 11th. i thank god every day that the current govt is in place to thwart these efforts.

Gee, David, what part of the 9/11 attacks, or Madrid, or Bali, or London did you miss? Or is the practice of beheading Westerners somehow lost on you? Damn, I am tired of you naive apologists for this barbaric worldwide Islamist movement!

Amazing...darned if they do, darned if they don't. Criticize the government for announcing it because "they just want us to beg them to save us." But if they don't announce it and it happens and it's discovered that "the government knew before hand" then all the blame gets heaped on the government for not doing anything or warning anybody. Looks like no matter what, people find a way to complain.

More fear mongering lies. The government must think we are all completely and totally stupid. I thought waging the war in Iraq was supposed to keep the terrorsts there??? What's wrong neo-cons, are you losing control of your war profit machine via changing public opinion such that you have to resort to scare tactics like this?
