WASHINGTON -- Al-Qaida operatives may be plotting several unrelated attacks in the United States, targeting not only major cities but also remote bulwarks of the

they will come either in the night or in the day. It will be either by land or by air or by sea.

This is starting to sound even worse as time goes on here. Especially with the John Ashcroft thing and him being called back home early. Kinda like the govt. telling him not to fly commercial airliners a few weeks before 9-11 theory.

[FirstPrinciple]

This is my theory. Nothing will happen but terrorists are simply taking notes on how we respond to chatters. Next time there is a terrorist attack, there will be no chatters.

Can you link to the actual story, instead of to the Drudge Report?

From previous....Of course if anything does occur....We'll be blamed for starting it. The LLL battle cry: "It's what the Americans deserve".

That's one hell of an "excerpt"!

As far as I'm concerned, it'll be between me, you and the brick wall.

LA Times article title:

U.S. Officials Fear Multiple a Host of Threats

"at least one series of coordinated, simultaneous strikes, like Sept. 11, as well as isolated plots of varying degrees of sophistication."

I think that would be a flurry of suicide bombings in malls, etc. and several spectacular larger attacks, including posssibly WMD.

I know the topic has been beaten to death on theories but I have yet to post my own. So what the hell...why not?

1. NFL Playoffs or Bowl games nationwide coast to coast. 4-7 in a cell enter stadium strapped with explosives. Up to 1,000 killed in each game. Countless others injured. Just imagine 4 stadiums on both coasts at the same time.

2. New Years Eve- NYC,California,Chicago all at the stroke of midnight...truck bombs,suicide bombers,commercial plane flown into time square.

3. Holiday Masses- Christmas Eve at midnight mass or Christmas Day. Happens in Pakistan all the time.

4. Shopping malls- Day after Christmas or Christmas Eve. Suicide bombers or truck bombs in all parts of the country.

5. The trained pilots story that was out tonight that are working for foreign airliners. Flying them into stadiums on national TV.

6. The worst fear of them all...dirty nukes going off at one of our ports on both coasts.

I really am not feeling a bio-attack like anthrax or anything like that. I am of the opinion it will be another stunning shocker to watch on live TV again.

[FairOpinion]

"Unlike past elevations of the terror threat level, the decision to raise the alert to orange this time was unanimous and decisive, because it was based on what senior Bush administration officials described as the most alarming, credible and specific information they had ever seen."

This sounds ominous.

Al Qaeda To Attack Major Cities and Remote Areas

I have a better one: U.S. To Attack Terrorist States ... with the caveat that none of them knows which one is first. Should be fun seeing them suck up to us. Let's get real, people: WE hold the cards.

[WackyKat]

This is my theory. Nothing will happen but terrorists are simply taking notes on how we respond to chatters

That's how I felt about about previous warnings-they were just testing the system

Something about this time feels different.

I hope I'm wrong

See my post 8 for link.

[witnesstothefall]

I'm thinking this is an elaborate headfake, not without some effect, at very little or no cost to al Queda.

I'm skeptical they have the operational wherewithal to conduct multiple snych'd ops stateside, al Queda style. JMO.

You forgot the Lingerie Bowl...if they found another sponsor

Thanks! lol

Again...Why can't they crap on Hollywood? Jobs would be provided for actors afterwards doing the documentry.
