"incoming ballistics"
I've noticed that too. If Kerry is elected and plays into the weakness of "static defenses", the most likely victims of an AQ attack will be large metropolitan centers: Boston, New York, Los Angeles, etc.
When the whole "gay marriage" issue went down in San Francisco -- the timing had me concerned. Taliban and AQ consider "gay marriage" a total abomination deserving of a violent death. Homosexuality, OTOH, is another matter to these terorrist islamofascists. But "gay marriage"? oh boy...
But to yours: Yes, major attacks would take place in the large "blue-centered" metropolitan areas. Biggest bang for the smallest buck. It's like I could hear insane radical Mayor Newsome screaming to the AQ: Hit us, hit us hard!
