Intel report: Hizbullah may strike in US

Homeland Security Threat Assessment for the years 2008-2013 says Hizbullah may foment terror attack in US if there is some kind of 'triggering' event. 'The threat of terrorism and the threat of extremist ideologies have not abated," Chertoff says Associated Press

The terrorism threat to the United States over the next five years will be driven by instability in the Middle East and Africa, persistent challenges to border security and increasing Internet savvy, says a new intelligence assessment obtained by The Associated Press.

Chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear attacks are considered the most dangerous threats that could be carried out against the US but those threats are also the most unlikely because it is so difficult for al-Qaeda and similar groups to acquire the materials needed to carry out such plots, according to the internal Homeland Security Threat Assessment for the years 2008-2013.

Well, let's hope they remember every cousin Achmed that lives in Detroit or wherever.....because if that happened, we'd see some home-grown ethnic cleansing.

Not that they can think that far outside the box, however....

They’re not stupid enough to strike before Jan 20, are they?

They’ll try to get a wholesale deal from Obama first. This is the mullahs chance, which they won’t squander right away.

It is to be expected that if not a direct confrontation with Iran, in any case Israel will have to face hezbullah in lebanon again next year. The US siding with Israel would be probably a ‘triggering’ event. It’s a warning shot to Obama to keep out of the Middle East.

I imagine a lot of our enemies will be striking us once we have "a nice person" (sarc/) in the Oval Office.

I hope they don’t, but if they are that dumb, they will find out what we really think of muzzlums, albeit, too late for them. muHAMed will run out of virgins quickly.

"intel from ap"

this means it either originated from the enemy or it will help him.

Hizbullah may strike in US

No way!

Not when we have infrastructure repair, economic rejuvenating, and political healing to take care of first.

The Messiah in coming has priorities.

I wonder if the citizenry will have to do the dirty work because I think we both know the “Precedent” won’t.

Hey rag-heads... Americans have bought almost all of the ammo available in this country... try to find bulk ammo in .223 or .45acp. Guns sales are at an all time high. If you attack... we will counter attack!.
