File this one under what difference does it make?
Really,.. What is the difference between Sept 11th and Aug 4th..
if we here "chatter and threats of terrorism on Sept 11th.. we send guards and security personnel home,.. order an ambassador to hold a routine inspection of a consulate guarded by al-quida's friends.. and take a nap..
but if it is the kings birthday... well that's different.. close a quarter of the world down.. out of an abundance of caution..
dumb-ass al-qaida should have waited til Sept 11th so Obama could arrange a few high value "targets" for them...
is it just me that thinks this is more about Obama's ego then a real threat?
I guess time will tell... :roll: :shock: :? :???:
besides if it was a treat because of Obama's birthday,.. they should have closed the golf courses instead..

Al Qaeda threat is 'very specific' as US issues travel alert
“We’re not certain exactly where something might happen but it’s very specific as to when and it’s also very specific as to the fact that it is going to happen, so we have to be on alert everywhere,”
The travel alert was the first of its kind since an announcement preceding the tenth anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attacks. It came as Washington prepared to close its embassies and consulates throughout the Muslim world this Sunday over security concerns.
The travel alert issued Friday warned Americans of the "continued potential for terrorist attacks, particularly in the Middle East and North Africa, and possibly occurring in or emanating from the Arabian Peninsula."
It said: "Current information suggests that al-qa'ida and affiliated organizations continue to plan terrorist attacks both in the region and beyond, and that they may focus efforts to conduct attacks in the period between now and the end of August."
