this kind of worries me......

I found this article on CNN.com
http://www.cnn.com/2003/US/12/22/threat.level/ index.html

Seems to be a common War on Terror propaganda piece at first glance, until I read this part:

'On Tuesday, the Pentagon will conduct a continuity-of-government exercise as part of the orange alert, officials said.

Key officials will be told to move to secret alternative facilities. It was not clear how many people would be involved or whether they would move by helicopter or motor vehicle.'

A 'continuity-of-government exercise' two days before Chiristmas? Are we to believe that government officials would sacrifice part of a Christmas vacation for an exercise in duck and cover?? Something about this worries me....

A few years ago, hundreds of thousands of slaves of islam attacked Israel on Yom Kippur. Maybe they figure attacking another of the civilized countries on Christmas is a good idea, since that worked out so well. Okay, so it didn't work so well, but at least they learned that their best shot in islam's war against human progress is the cowardly sneak attack and the absurd pretense that it's only a few radicals, and it did reduce their population somewhat, so they gained something from it.

Are you referring to Egypt's brilliant and audacious attack on Israeli forces in Sinai? Because if you are, you're obviously a liar. At least 10% of the Egyptian soldiers were Christians and the war wasn't religious but a national struggle to reclaim the Sinai peninsular, land stolen by the Israelis some years earlier and something which the Egyptians weren't willing to accept.
