Threat Matrix: Daily Terror Threat

Does anyone really know who is out in the Gulf of Mexico off of Galveston and the Port of Houston? The eastern beaches of Galveston Island once were the favorite spot for South American drug runners to float things ashore.

I was by that same subway exit Friday night around 7:00pm and it was swarming with police and firemen. Got stuck in the traffic because of all the fire trucks. Interestingly - the police and fire people all looked very serious but scores of people were just standing around looking quite unconcerned. New Yorkers!

It calls Islam and Muslims what they really are, and shows SA involvement in terror, chilling.

Why do you think it's TNT instead of ABC? Did you see the terrorists scream Allahu Akbar after the pep talk?

Thanks! Tell your daughter she's good!

Heheh, thanks. I will probably be able to do a bit more with the next thread. I didn't have too much time for this one, mainly because I didn't realize how quickly the threads move along.

I sure did, amazing this is on american TV, maybe someone in programing has seen the light.

I'm so glad I live in a small town!

I'm surprised by how good this is.

No doubt it will last for 8 weeks or so, but maybe someone will realize it's worth hanging onto for a while.

More amazing that it's on Turner Network Television since he's the worst communist POS walking the planet.

there was a house fire in Sherman Oaks....

they probably put tons of assets in the area, since it was in the hills, near the 101/405 interchange

Yup, there was one part about the Brit blaming Bush for being hung out to dry for intel about Iraq and WMD.

Great job.

Thank you kindly =)

Thanks JP and Kinetic....Looks Awesome.

Thanks a ton.

What files are you trying to open? I run a beta rar/unrar on my linux boxes.

Excellent, am watching it again, didn't catch the whole thing the first time, since I was trying to watch Scarborough at the same time.

The Grid is terrific.

Kinetic, the opening headers for this thread are eye-catching, warm and informative.

Thanks, but I can't actually take the credit for that. The colors and sizes and such were the brainstorm of the mom XD
