Are you saying that the administration shouldn't raise the threat levels? Maybe we should just go back to pre-9/11 thinking and forget about fixing our intel and drop the entire Homeland Security Department.

OBL isn't dead, but he hasn't done anything in 3 years, this fact reveals more work by the current administration than most Americans understand. It also makes the country blasé to threats that still exist. We are currently engaged in a world wide battle against a covert enemy. There are wins and loses in this battle. Our country has not been hit again, this indicates we are winning.

Could you imagine watching Operation Overlord on live TV. How would America deal with that? We would have have pulled out of WWII and you would now be typing in German.

You watch the news and they talk about 300,000 lbs of explosives that are missing in Iraq. Give me a break, they started with about 300 billion pounds. This is about as significant as Bill Gates donating $5 to charity.

A threat still exist and it needs the attention of everyone. Our current administration has done an awesome job. Don't even think that the warning levels are raised for a political purpose, that is done with the purpose of warning the first responders, security forces and the American public. To not follow this protocal would be derelict.
