Telegraph: Reports that the US might issue a European wide terror alert for US Citizens on Sunday. In a way the terrorists have won, of late all over Europe you have seen EU Governments getting very worried about a Al Qaeda threat to Europe. The questions is what next, is Al Qaeda playing a game, creating a crisis mentality then nothing, is a long term plan to tire the population with threats that never follow through and then one day will Al Qaeda let off a nuclear device or dirty bomb in the heart of Europe. The Obama White House has a problem, if they underplay such threats and it happens they will have seen as caring more about their left wing than US security but if they send in ground troops in to Pakistan the left will go bonkers and Obama will not get the Democratic nomination for President in 2012. In the UK its quiet, no COBRA meetings, no rushed meetings in 10 Downing Street, is that good or bad, does MI6 have better intelligence than CIA, what does the Israeli Mossad think, do they have better info. The hunch of VIEWS is that Al Qaeda is testing Western security, if they can get lucky then they will strike but it could just be an operation to keep the West on heighten alert.
