[John Lenin]

You know we are going to have a terror attack around election time. If America goes soft I will be surprised.

IMHO, a terror attack will definitely get GWB elected and that is the main reason I believe the terrorists will not attack the US near the election.

They know we don't respond to terror like the Europeans. We aren't intimidated, it makes us mad!!!!

"You know we are going to have a terror attack around election time. If America goes soft I will be surprised."

wow, that just freaked me out as I scrolled down to it...I sure hope you are wrong, John Lenin - my point was that we need to remind the population that all other issues beyond security are secondary - jobs, health care - try and find your office or your HMO after the next attack...but your statement was chilling...what do you mean, "if America goes soft you will be surprised"...? Goes soft now?
