I began to grow weary of it 5 years ago. Everytime things start looking bad for the Bush administration or the Republicans, they start trotting out these vague warnings of terrorist threats. It's all fear-mongering and slight-of-hand to get the heat off of them.

Indeed, talk about 'crying wolf'.
There are many classic "Big Brother" films and TV shows(Heroes, for one) that unveil the doctrine of fear to use as control. Lose your fear and gain your life/control back.
Going back to 9/11, how can you put trust in the government to save you the next time anyways? Remember, this is the entity that picked a fight in the first place... is it really a trust worthy personal bodyguard? I'm wondering where is this "for the people" thing, maybe I need special glasses to see it.
Anyways, everyone has to dumb down their own fears and realize that they may die anytime from natural occurrences. There's more to worry about than being in a shopping mall and that may get bombed. Don't forget about neighborhood and domestic violence, it can happen closer than you think. The point is to live life to the fullest, because it isn't here forever.

Well why don't we go back to the 90s where no one in the Government actually believed Al Quada was a threat. You know ignore the problem even after several attacks and Clinton learning about the 9-11 attacks in 96. you know back when we had 5 or 6 chances to take out bin Ladin but having a President that couldn't get off the golf course long enough to make a decision. Yes you go back to that and the rest of us will live in the real world.

Well the new video released by Osama shows there is no threat , it shows that they are a figment of our imagination , no such thing as a threat from a group of idiots who just warned us to covert to Islam or else ....Maybe Osama is in your home town , one of them liberal states that think just because you are here you are legal ..and should be loved , Your State Politicians could have been the one to take him to the spa , and get that make over too.....( he did look weel rested , and he got rid of a lot of grey hair... Where you from , so we will know where to look , NJ area or Cali ...which one ??

Threats? The only threat Bush could ever make is iif he could ever run for a third term in office.
Thankfully the americans only have the two-term policy.

Not a Bush threat, it is a real " Al Qaeda" threat, just tired of all the conspiracy stories, like this one.

Have you been asleep for the past 20 years.
I know you won't read this but wtf.
Today, there are two ongoing developments in the world which carry with them all the necessary ingredients to bring down the western civilization, as we know of it. The first of these developments is the Islamic resurgence, which, many devout Muslims believe will be the final showdown between Islam and the infidels. They firmly believe this cataclysmic clash of civilisation will result in a guaranteed victory for Islam. With great aplomb they will refer to the Qur’anic verses (such as 2:30, 6:165, 7:129, 27:62) which firmly declare that only the Muslims are the rightful inheritors of earth. Allah has assured the victory of Islam by expropriating and usurping the land of the infidels and hand them over to the Muslims (verses 13:41, 21:44, 28:58). The Islamic world is patiently waiting for this ultimate victory of Islam—no infidel should bear any doubt on this mindset of great majority of Islamic diehards.
In contrast to the above mindset in the Islamic world, the infidel world, by and large, is in deep slumber. Note the incredible apathy, ignorance, neglect and sheer carelessness of the infidels’ state of mind. They are in the impression that the current Islamic terrorism will soon be a thing of the past, and the world will, once again, revert to the ‘world order’ which, for several centuries, they have taken for granted. These easy-going, ‘couldn’t care less’, gullible westerners still believe that Islam means peace. Alas, I have bad news for these apathetic western people. To gauge the extent of Islamic incursion into their civilization, please read on.
The Muslim World- Resurgence
Muslims proudly talk about what they call sahwa Islamia or the Islamic recovery that started slowly in the late 1970s and reached an astonishing speed in the 1990s. It first came to prominence after the declaration of jihad in Afghanistan and the success of the Islamic revolution in Iran. This Islamic revitalization proceeded in two ideologically different fronts: with Saudi Arabia being the main driving force behind the resurgence of the Sunni Muslims; while Iran standing firmly behind the Shiite Muslims. These two fronts are independent of each other and had frequently confronted each other. Right now, this is exactly what is happening now in Iraq—one Islam slaughtering another Islam. However, the infidel world must not be deluded by such Islamic Cannibalism. The credo that is common to both groups is their deep hatred for the west in general and America in particular.
Most Muslims consider America to be their main enemy because it is the world’s only super power and seems to stand in Islam’s way. Notwithstanding with such a unremitting hatred reserved exclusively for America, any non-Islamic country has the potential to win the main enemy title depending on the circumstances. Last year, the title was won by Denmark, thanks to the Muhammad’s cartoons.
