Why wait for this? Rise early and kill the jihadists first1 their stronghols should smolder for months like NY and Washington. They should be Dresdenized.
Yep, Demorat Convention...
Don't worry folks, our Government's Immigration authorities are working as hard as they can to ensure it will be a summer of terror.
Thanks.
I'll believe it when I see it. But, if these muslems cause caos this summer, there will be an outcry from the American public for internment camps for ALL muslems. Then maybe these jackasses will speak out against the muslem terrorist violence instead of supporting it. If not, let them rot behind razor wire. Abu Graeb (sp) will seem like Gay Days at Disney.
Since any terrorist attack right now would guarantee Bush's reelection, I seriously doubt we will see much of anything domestically. They will go places where they think they can have a positive impact -- like Spain.
Self-fulfilling prophecies! It's so sensational to scare ourselves to death. We magnify the power of terrorists who, if the slightest bit successful, lay our spirits low and make us doubt ourselves and our worthy leaders. We succumb far too easily. We are soft and scared by our own shadow, thanks to a media that thinks we cast too big a shadow and shouldn't be a "Super Power!"
A series of successful domestic attacks would probably put the Republicans out of power totally. However, I don't believe al-Qaida or allied groups are capable of this. Thus, I am more worried about the Democratic attack dogs and their October suprise(s).
AHHHHHTHESKYISFALLING!!!!!!!!!!!
"We've continually underestimated them, now it's time for us to go on the offensive, and let's go look for these guys."
A high percentage of kerry voting liberals would follow "his" lead and turn tail. There is no need to go on the offensive. They will go back to leaving us alone.
Can someone tell me why in the headline it doesn't say "former" FBI? There is a huge difference between a "current" FBI agent telling us this and one that is "former!" It could very well be true but I have seen so many "former" military/FBI/CIA people on as analyst with the "sky is falling" that I tend not to pay much attention and if I don't, I can imagine others are even worse.
BTW "sky is falling" is my new phrase for handwringing.
... if that's this copper's real name!
It worked in Japan and ended WWII, and we might well deide to follow up with an "encore" against the first entity to attempt to retaliate or even raise their voices in protest and complaint-- be they Arab, European, or otherwise.
On the home front, our domestic traitors should be dealt with in the courts, in the marketplace, in the mass media, and in the streets (however you define the latter is entirely up to you). It's them or us, plain and simple -- and they started this war on many occasions and in many venues and fronts heretofore with impunity.
Will we again figuratively sit in our seats with our tray tables up and our seat belts buckled and yet again allow vastly outnumbered subhuman vermin to figuratively crash airliners into our society while armed merely with what amounts to boxcutters?
Sadly, history suggests that most of the sheeple that populate this great Nation will do just that and opt to leave the fighting to those capable and committed to defend it against all enemies -- both foreign and domestic.....

Police-state rationalizations.
Note the reference to terrorist attack on "chemical facilities" and its similarity to my response to Shermy on the other thread.
This thread got me thinking about what would happen if there was a terrorist attack on the Dim Convention this summer and not one during the Republican Convention. The Media and the DU people would be crying that Bush let it happen and the such and the truth be damned. It could be a chaotic situation.
if you ask me we don't underestimnate them at all. We give them too much credit. I expect they'll try something this summer or right before the election...I don't expect it will be succcessful though. We've gotten pretty good at thwarting them. Doesn't hurt to be careful but I don't see any sense in getting people all worked up over a "Summer of Terror".
Its all a plot to scare people into staying home this summer. With a less than expected demand for gasoline, the prices will drop low enough I can take a vacation.
