a) could also be someone is paying attention at the white house - with the country against the Dubai ports deal and concern for security -- how much public support on the port deal would bush* get if he issues a terror alert?
2) we've been pummeled with terror alerts for the past 3 1/2 years - he's cried "wolf" once too many times for it to have any significant effect bumping up polling numbers. I would propose that a terror alert at this particular time would have the opposite effect and make his numbers drop even further
3) considering how well Homeland IN-security/Fema handled Katrina - if there were to be a "real" terror attack - how confident are you that Homeland IN-security/Fema could handle it?
a terror alert at this time would be a political liability - not an asset
not like I watch. But I think the only people in the world who believe the terror alert bs will be watching FOX anyways, so maybe DHS just "outsourced" the job to the network.
