You may be right. The spankings we've been giving them have helped, but I'm not sure they've been enough...

I wonder what "90 percent" means...

[Big Guy and Rusty 99]

yeah, do they have like a little pie chart or powerpoint presentation?

Probably the same thing that "90% ready" means when I say it to my boss... i.e., "I haven't even started, and what was I supposed to do anyway?"

This this case you need to apply the old "90 - 90" rule in construction planning:

It takes 90% of the time to complete the first 90% of the work -- and then another 90% of the time to complete the last 10%!

So the key to their claim is to determine how many years ago they started!

They haven’t found the kid to strap the bomb to yet.

They have made many warnings in the past, and I think they used the Madrid bombings as a signal to their operatives in the field.

I would not take the 90% to mean that they have merely 10% of their preps left before they strike. 90% is symbolic of "were are almost ready to knock the snot out of you".

Some people think they will wait until Bush is out of office to attack again. I don't think that is the case. If another attack happens that is as large or larger than the 911 attacks, I don't think it will matter even if Ralph Nader (GO RALPH!) is in office.

Our reaction will be reflectsive, irrational and vengeful. America is the 1000 lb gorilla of the world which has, even after 911, never been let out of it's cage. We have reacted with amazing restraint in Afganistan and Iraq in order to prevent civilian casualities. If there is another large scale attack on the US it is my humble belief that the US will not show any restraint, including the use of multiple nukes in the MT range.

It means they have outsourced the work on this one.

Sounds like vaporware.
