Today on "Fox News Live," former FBI Special Agent Harold Copus said that the summer of 2004 will be remembered as the "Summer of Terror."
Anchor Gregg Jarrett told agent Copus that Tom Ridge said special attention will be focused on stopping terror attacks on rail, air, hazmat shipment, chemical facilities and the electrical grid. He asked if all of those were vulnerable.
Copas said, "They certainly are."
"For the last six months or so ... we keep hearing chatter and information that's filtering down ... you should really be concerned about some of the things you've discussed."
Jarrett also mentioned that outgoing Spanish President Aznar told President Bush to beware of possible pre-election bombings in the U.S., and Condi Rice seconded that concern yesterday. He asked, "Will that happen?"
Agent Copus said: "Let's hope not. But I suspect that we will see activity." He added, "We've continually underestimated them, now it's time for us to go on the offensive, and let's go look for these guys."
Jarrett said: "I'm still stunned by what you said ... Summer of Terror. Can we stop it?"
Agent Copus replied: "I'm not sure that we can always stop it. We're wide open as a country, we still continue to need to be that way, and want to be and should be. Because of that, we allow ourselves to be open to an attack."
He also thinks another opportunity for an al-Qaida attack will be this summer's Olympiad, in Greece.
Fox is submitting to the pressitutes reading of the situation facing us.
Hi Travis. I think they have always targeted hi value targets. Although these scumbags will do anything to hurt us, I just don't see them going after schools and hospitals and so on.
Their signature is maximum damage to targets like military, Pentagon, embassies, financial and high profile hits like 9/11.
Watch the financial centers like SF and NY.
Massive pool of recent High School & college graduates available to patrol the borders for low or no pay. Lots of young people want to do something for their country, but they aren't lefty enough to join the Peace Corpse, or right enough to join the Army. A volunteer border patrol service would be extremely attractive. Give 'em jeeps radios, barracks and uniforms and they can provide excellent seamless reconaissance for our smaller so-called "professional" armed patrols.
Wouldn't it be funny if Kerry picked Gore as his running mate? LOL. Always a bride's maid but never a bride.
No wonder we have a shortage of oil with al Ghorroid's new hair do!
He must use mega barrels each day to get his new look.haha ! I think he must. "Greasy kid stuff!"
That is correct, our country and people cower in fear. Am I also afraid? You bet! However, I have realized that we are at war. War is about death and killing.
It WILL happen. A few thousand Americans have already perished, tens of thousands, if not hundreds of thousands more of us will also die. I hate the thought of that, but once that reality has been absorbed and the brain has had time to process this reality, it leaves me ready to help out, pick up arms and defend what is America and keep my faith in Jesus Christ for victory in all things.
That is because we need the Saudi Arab oil. We are now really paying the price for our dependence. My thought right after 9/11 was to build 20 massive sythetic oil plants to supply all of our oil. When I asked someone in the know about this, I got a reply that the average price of gas would be around $2.50 . Well, since the price now is close to that range, we should reconsider all options.
Yeah, and mobilize the National Guard in those border states to do eradication of current illegals...
People have been saying that every few months for the last several thousand years, so...
the trouble is the employers, and the welfare system. Employers want cheap labor, the Welfare system makes unemployment attractive for citizens. Add a leaky border to the situation and welcome to Mexamerica
i think it would be very amusing if we made Mecca very 'holey' (i.e. full of holes) LOL
You know one of these days, instead of finding 300 illegals packed into a 40 foot trailer in Ft. Worth, it'll be something a little more interesting. Actually, I'm surprised it hasn't happened. Of course Ashcroft is on the case, and told us, "hey everyone, heads up". LOL!
Joe! You just posted the same thing on a different thread.
Hey, CWO, did texasforever and neopardons follow you here? LOL!
Actually you stated to bore me over there.
See you later guy.
Tex is around the corner, you shouldn't have any problems finding him.
