FBI Agent: 2004 Will Be Remembered as 'Summer of Terror'
newsmax ^

Posted on 05/26/2004 9:37:30 AM PDT by Reader of news

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.

Watch the forests. Clear the brush WAY around your house if you live near a Western forest. Plan your escape routes.

Given that many of the guards were Iraqis, there is probably some jihadist grabasticism involved..

I'm just curious, does anybody know of any laws/acts that are being pushed through Congress or about to be, that would/could be quickly passed in the event of a terrorist act?

I'm not implying that some in the government would use the fear of some in America, to push their agenda....

This is a shock - I actually agree with him. We try to close up our society, we stop being the USA. The terrorists want us to change our society, that's why they do this.

The Achilles Heel for George Bush is open borders. We can't stop these thugs, when Canada and Mexico refuse to do anything to stop them from entering their country. Therefore, Bush is putting this country at risk of terror attack because of his refusal to lock down the borders, hunt down the terrorists that are still left inside the country, and kill them.

Look, it's time to get serious about these people. It's time to hunt them down right here and cleanse the inside of our Nation from these murderers.

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.

To: Dubya's fan; All

If General George Patton were alive and President of the USA, this would be his Fireside Speech:

My fellow Americans:

As you all know, the defeat of Iraq's regime has been completed.
Since congress does not want to spend any more money on this war, our mission in Iraq is complete. This morning I gave the order for a complete removal of all American forces from Iraq. This action will be complete within 30 days. It is now time to begin the reckoning.

Before me, I have two lists. One list contains the names of countries, which have stood by our side during the Iraq conflict. This list is short: The United Kingdom, Spain, Bulgaria, Australia, Norway and Poland are some of the countries listed there. The other list contains everyone not on the first list. Most of the world's nations are on that list. My press secretary will be distributing copies of both lists later this evening.

Let me start by saying that effective immediately, foreign aid to those nations on List 2 ceases immediately and indefinitely. The money saved during the first year alone will pretty much pay for the costs of the Iraqi war.
The American people are no longer going to pour money into third world hell holes and watch those government leaders grow fat on corruption. Need help with a famine? Wrestling with an epidemic? Call France. In the future, together with Congress, I will work to cut taxes and solve some local problems.

On that note, a word to terrorist organizations: Mess with us and we will hunt you down and eliminate you and all your friends from the face of the earth. Thirsting for a gutsy country to terrorize? Try France, or maybe China. To Israel and the Palestinian Authority: You boys, work out a peace deal now. Just note that Camp David is closed. Maybe all of you can go to Russia for negotiations. They have some great palaces there. Big tables, too.
I'm ordering the immediate severing of diplomatic relations with France, Germany, and Russia. Thanks for all your help, comrades. We are retiring from NATO as well. Bon chance, mes amis.

I have instructed the Mayor of New York City to begin towing the many UN diplomatic vehicles located in Manhattan with more than two unpaid tickets to sites where those vehicles will be stripped, shredded and crushed. I don't care about whatever treaty pertains to this. Pay your tickets tomorrow or watch your precious Benzes, Beamers, and limos be turned over to some of the finest chop shops in the world. I love New York.

A special note to our neighbors. Canada is on List 2. Since we are going to be seeing a lot more of each other, you folks might want to try not antagionizing us for a change. Mexico is also on List 2. President Fox and his entire corrupt government really need an attitude adjustment. I have a couple of extra tank and infantry divisions sitting around. Guess where I'm gonna put 'em? Yep, border security. So start doing something with your oil.

Oh, by the way, the United States is abrogating the NAFTA treaty--starting now. It is time for America to focus on its own welfare and its own citizens. Some will accuse us of isolationism. I answer them by saying darn tootin'. Nearly a century of trying to help folks live a decent life around the world has only earned us the undying enmity of just about everyone on the planet. It is time to cut taxes here because we will not be spending on other people's problems.

To the nations on List 1, a final thought. Thanks guys. We owe you. To the nations on List 2, a final thought. Dont call us when you're in trouble; Just Drop dead. God bless America.

Thank you and good night.

Note to self: Stock up on more of the following:

(A) 5.56mm
(B) 7.62 Nato
(C) .45 ACP
(D) freeze dried or longterm storage foods
(E) Batteries


If something really, really bad happens, not too many folks will be there to help you. You've got to learn to take care of yourselves. White Collar guys and their families that have never fired a gun and believe in the nanny state, or don't know how to hunt or skin wild game are finished right from the get go. Some of us guys with more more of a "mountain man mentality" will survive a little bit longer.

Nah. The Demmies will tell use to "feel and understand their rage" or some other such idiocy. And Bush will go after vigilantes much harder than he goes after domestic terrorists.
