AP: Terrorists Planning Summer Attack

This may be a welcome change to the usual summer re-runs.

(Not wishing for attacks...just taking the low-key British approach while
under attack)

There are a lot of Muslims from Kosovo that could easily pass themselves off as blond haired blue eyed eastern europeans.

Like the dirty bombs seized in NY harbor.

When did that happen? I hate the media.

20, the number of terrorists on 9/11.

Oh for crying out loud. We all know that. Sheesh!

Wake up, they could put thousands in here with little effort. We have MILLIONS, do you understand, MILLIONS entering illegally, routinely, at will. They could easily put 100 a week in here and they wouldn't even be noticed! Sheesh! Can you imagine what several thousand could do on one morning in this country? They could wreck absolute havoc and chaos!

The people in the country to our south can be bribed with a few dollars to do ANYTHING. We already have thousands of trucks entering with unknown loads.

Some of you folks better wake up to this titanic security time bomb.

Oh my gosh. They aren't Mexican and are just crossing into our country? I don't like the sounds of that at all.

It had to be on Fox News. I only watch Fox News. But I was appalled when I heard this. That thousands (like the one poster said "The Boston Marathon"), coming across the Mexican border every night. 

The border patrols find those rugs that the Muslims use for prayers? And they find their prayer books, etc. It was pretty spine chilling.

What this president need to do is DECLARE WAR OFFICIALLY and then these anti-American anti-Freedom slugs in this country can go down fighting or they can leave.

I will give them the option --- at first.

Yup, also another name is Jose Padilla.

Sorry Joe, I don"t think he is Mexican so you can't base your whole arguement against Mexicans on him.

I believe that he is Puerto Rican, which makes him an American citizen by birth.

Wouldn't the attack in Spain indicate a Kerry win?

1st and caustic answer: Only if the voting public in the Unites States had the same kind of spine as the voting public in Spain.

But I will be fair both ways: the Spanish were already very divided and it was the diversion of a very small number of votes that made the difference. We in the U.S. are nearly as equally divided and a "Spanish vote" (to coin a term) is a possibility. OTOH, I don't believe that given an atrocity here that so many of us would cave; if anything (caveat: I Am Not A Pundit) I think overall we would move in the opposite direction. As we did, briefly, post-9/11.

I truly believe that if Al-Qaeda attempts such an effort here that it will backfire on them.

The thing that will count are the reactions of everyday Americans. It might not be a vast majority that stands up, but in the right circumstances enough will. I'm not really a hot-head --I only play one on FR-- but from various conversations with various people (not a scientific sampling!) since 9/11 I think maybe even I would be surprised. (I confess I was at the response to 9/11...)

I would hate to go up against guys like the NASCAR male fans and the Iron Workers!  We have a lot of tough American men in this Country! :) Not to mention our own military personnel.

I happen to agree. But I wanted to see your thought process.

but the attack will not come from thousands of terrorists, it will come from a small team. 5 teams of 4 men with nerve gas in NY, DC, Dallas, LA for example. are you really saying that you expect an army of 5000 AQ guys to hit the streets with small arms, that the attack will take that form? I don't think so - its too hard to coordinate and communicate with a large group of people like that.

yes, we have millions entering illegally. 99.9% of them are not terrorists. so what is your point?

don't let your desire to close the border cloud your judgement on the real issue with regards to the possibility of a terror attack.

For some reason most folks think that Muslims look like Arabs.

Besides the nordic looking ones from the Kosovo area, there are a lot of Asian Muslims. The Muslim nation with the largest popular is Asian.

Watched a militia guy on the Donahue Show some time back...(and no I wasn't a regular viewer)...
Of course Donahue, being the good Demoslob that he is was attacking everything American...
Someone in the audience mockingly asked the militia guy, "Who is the militia, anyway?"

The fella in the camos pointed his finger at the crowd and raked it across the audience and said, "YOU ARE"...

I thought that was rather profound, especially now...

Was coming home from shooting and heard him mention it (XM radio in the car is nice.. fox news while driving heh)

I figure its only a matter of time. Thanks for the ping.

BTW Later in the news cast I heard someone else say we may see the alert level go up tomorrow morning I think.

Constitutionally, that's Congress's job and how it is done is extremely vague in that document.

I believe that would be Indonesia.

But when the average housewife fears going to the grocery store, the political landscape will change. Not for the better, I think. I don't want to see cops with submachineguns patrolling our sidewalks like we see in so many countries today. But it might happen. And I think it will happen when the terrorists strike Main Street USA.

That's right...And ya know why they'll be there??? They will be hunting for white guys with guns while protecting the muzlim american population...
