When did "Paul Blart-Mall Cop" become the Director of National Security?
I really don't want to make light of a possible terrorist attack, but the geniuses in charge of our government are making it very difficult for me. An FBI/Homeland Security bulletin obtained by the A.P. said that while the latest Al Queda threat across Europe did not specifically target U.S. citizens, "Americans traveling abroad should be on the lookout for suspicious activity." Do What? If we're supposed to report all this "suspicious activity", I can see all hell breaking loose at Walmarts across Europe. A Fox News story reported that Ramstein Air Force Base in Germany conducted a 24 hour security exercise that included a curfew and heightened security. That's great, were they worried that Bin Laden was going to conduct a panty raid that night? Patrick Kennedy of the U.S. State Department stressed that they were not recommending that Americans not go to Europe, just use"common sense, by leaving the scene if they see unattended packages or hear loud noises." Seriously, loud noises? No word on whether Kennedy left the press conference on a "Segue". Is this really the best we can do? J. Edgar Hoover must be spinning in his grave. The list of possible targeted locations includes pretty much every well known landmark on the entire continent of Europe; so at least we've isolated the threat. Under this type of intense scrutiny, I'm sure Bin Laden will just dissolve Al Queda and open a chain of convenience stores. It's bad enough that this is the best intelligence we can gather, but why in the hell would you release such a vague advisory to the public? I can see a scenario where a Muslim that farts loudly in the airport could take a serious beat down. Say what you want about Dick Cheney, but who would you rather have watching your back?
