Does this mean Maple and Tree are coming up for a visit to the Adirondacks again?

Nah, I just look out my window every so often to see if the Chrysler or Citicorp buildings are still there!

What Geobeet said. Think back on all the supposed threats the Bush admin has given us: bridges, nuclear plants, banks, scuba terrorists, apartments, sports stadiums, refineries, you name it Bush has tried to scare the US public with it.

but this info included the average number of people that stand on one corner at a certain time of day. something like 7 people on each corner. so if they did something they could take out 28 people.
LOL i told tree that if I get to a corner and more then 2 people are, then I am going around the block.

Ashcrack believes that the real threat to America is Justice's breasts. Omigod, I'm going to hell for saying that word!

WTF? This is the twist that I really didn't expect. I guess that I just assumed (like everyone else did) that the intelligence that we heard yesterday was new. Now, it's being reported that this stuff is over three years old? And that the powers-that-be have little or no explanation for why it came out like that yesterday?

Geo, you may have been onto something in your previous posts!

Wear orange so you don't clash with the 'administration'.

Yes, isn't that interesting.

Seems like these were more like backup targets in case they couldn't get on the airliners.

I worked in the Citigroup building, too. That's where I was when the planes struck. I said to my boss at the time, "can we leave this high profile building instead of sitting here watching the news?"

Funny how it was timed to take the attention off the convention.

I guess this line from Ridge's press conference should have been a tip off:

"But we must understand that the kind of information available to us today is the result of the president's leadership in the war against terror..."


I so wish I could believe anything that comes from this administration.
