typical scare tactic.

Security up after al Qaeda threat to oil

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) -- Coalition naval forces in the Gulf are on watch for possible terror threats to oil facilities in Saudi Arabia and Bahrain, a British navy official said Friday.

The official, who spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak to the press, said an al Qaeda threat last month to target Gulf oil terminals had resulted in stepped-up security and vigilance at Saudi Arabia's Ras Tanura terminal, as well as a refinery in Bahrain.

How typical is this. We have an election coming up that Bush is scared of loosing. So he puts up an alert, with no specific threat. And they said that the threat was given over a month ago. Yet it only was announced to the public two weeks before an election. Maybe i'm ranting, maybe this is a bit consperacy theory. But Bush........i just have trouble believing what he says.
