And we can blame the media of this country and a few well placed democrats for it when it happens. However, they will have the floor, and will blame President Bush who is the only one trying to do anything to stop it.

Shepard just said "Dispite all that, the Threat Level has not been raised.

FNC said it is expected this summer and may be a chemical attack that is far worse than a conventional bomb.

Well, I have no idea as to method, but as far as time and place... well, that's easy. New York City, Madison Sq. Garden, GOP Convention.

Haven't the Democrats been planning this one for a couple of years now?

It's beyond time we take the gloves off and track these animals down within our borders. If some ACLU heads get squashed under the treads, so much the better.

"There is clearly a steady drumbeat of information that they are going to attack and hit us hard," said the official, who described the intelligence as highly credible.

How convenient!

We already have lots of personnel and hardware right in their neighborhood and in the pipeline, and the Halliburton supply system is working like a finely tuned instrument.

September 12th will be a lot different, this time.

Beginning with Saturday's dedication of the new World War II Memorial in Washington, the summer presents a number of high-profile targets in the United States. They include the G-8 summit in Georgia next month that will attract top officials from some of America's closest allies, the Democratic National Convention in Boston in July and the Republican National Convention in August in New York.

Great. So something *may* happen at some time, some place, some how...

AP: Terrorists Planning Summer Attack

Excerpt:

17 minutes ago (at time of posting) The intelligence does not include a time, place or method of attack but is among the most disturbing received by the government since the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, according to a senior federal counterterrorism official who spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity Tuesday.

Of most concern, the official said, is that terrorists may possess and use a chemical, biological or radiological weapon that could cause much more damage and casualties than a conventional bomb.

"There is clearly a steady drumbeat of information that they are going to attack and hit us hard," said the official, who described the intelligence as highly credible.

The official declined to provide any specifics about the sources of the information but said there was an unusually high level of corroboration.

Despite that, the official said there was no immediate plan to raise the nation's terrorism threat level from yellow, or elevated, to orange, or high. The threat level has been at yellow — midpoint on the five-color scale — since January.

Attorney General John Ashcroft and FBI Director Robert Mueller plan a news conference Wednesday to outline an intensive effort by law enforcement, intelligence and homeland security officials to detect and disrupt any potential plots. And the FBI plans to dispatch a bulletin to some 18,000 state and local law enforcement agencies warning of the threat.
