You are right about the upcoming attack.
So what if our "leaders" finally come to realize that our country is embroiled in a world-wide holy war? I believe that most politicians on either side of the isle already know about the threat but will do nothing about it because their reelection is of more importance than the welfare of this country. Besides, we need the oil and we do not want to offend the Muslims.
We (and they) WILL wake up after the coming attack. At that time, we will then enter into WW IV in earnest. Right now, we're "merely" fighting 2 preliminary battles of WW IV; - Afghanistan and Iraq. After these killers hit America again, the whole world will be engulfed in the world war. Only then will liberals (if there are any of them left) join the rest of America and support the global conflict as Americans did in WWI and II. (WWIII was the Cold War which was not universally supported, as everyone knows), but thanks to Ronald Wilson Reagan, we won that war, hands down.
We will win WW IV also, but not before a shocking amount of bloodshed, destruction and carnage.
