Your Navy post is very clear to me............
"We are ready and we are where we are needed"
"Don't Mess with the U.S. Navy"
My worry is, "Did all the other countries get the message?"
My Granny always said "Walk softly and carry a Big Stick".
I didn't know until a year ago that the quote was from Teddy Roosevelt.
It looks as tho that is what President Bush is doing, he has put all the world on notice, not only notice, but has the parts of the world that will support us sailing with our Navy.
Good planning.
G8 SUMMIT NEXT "TERRORIST" TARGET?
(03.06.2004)
There are indications to suggest that the next "terrorist" attack on the US may occur at the G8 Summit, Sea Island Georgia between the 8th and 10th of June 2004.
What better platform to make a political statement than a meeting that hosts leaders from all the major countries in the world? But of political benefit to who?
Such an attack would certainly indicate the "usual suspects", but would they really want to anger the rest of the world and bring that much heat on themselves? Would they even have the capabilities of getting past such security precautions?
Who else could benefit from an attack on this scale? There have been many reports that the 9/11 attack was not created by Osama bin Laden, but was produced by America itself in order to gain support for the war. Most of these reports are automatically dismissed by the average American as crackpot ideas from conspiracy theorists. But are they? There are a number of "holes" in the facts that have been issued by the government on this "attack" and many questions remain unanswered. Whilst it is hard to imagine the USA being behind such an horrific act, it can not be ruled out completely. The recent events in Iraq (the abuse photo's and the Nick Berg beheading) have shown that even the American Military are capable of torture and the Berg video had more holes in it than an old dartboard!
There are a number of factors that give us cause for concern. Reports of an "imminent" terrorist attack have been pouring out of the White House at a rapid rate over the last week or so, based on information from "credible" sources. Unfortunately, these sources have no faces and it's hard to say whether they exist at all. Where do they get information that says the "terrorists" are 90% ready? Or that there are 18,000 potential terrorists at large and as many as 20,000 jihadists, or Muslims recruited to fight a holy war, were trained by al-Qaeda in Afghanistan since 1996. We doubt very much any terrorist would know this information, let alone the US government! So why are we told this information?
Some of the reports have "hinted" that an attack may be of a chemical or biological nature, but this appears to be an assumption which is not based on information received. Is the government giving the "terrorists" suggestions, or do they know something we don't?
The Federal reserve have been raising the Money Supply (M-3), by considerable amounts. Are they expecting some disaster that will affect the economy in the very near future? Do they know or suspect something too?
The US Navy has also begun an exercise. This was announced apparently in December, but has just started. A coincidence?
We realize that the security surrounding the G8 Summit needs to look at all possibilities and this may be the reason for stockpiling huge supplies of antidotes and other medicines to combat any chemical or biological attack. But is there another reason why they have taken such precautions in this area?
There have been sightings of mobile missile launchers in the area around the G8 Summit location. What sort of attack are they expecting that requires such equipment? Has bin Laden purchased Jet Fighters and missiles since 9/11?
Hopefully, our worries will be unfounded and maybe sufficient publicity will deter any such thoughts (should they exist at all). But should the worst happen, we urge everyone to examine the details of any such attack (whether at the G8 Summit or anywhere else in the US) carefully and not let their anger cloud their vision in any way.
In view of the "warnings" that the US government have apparently been receiving, perhaps it would be wiser to postpone the meeting alltogether rather than take any chances? Let's hope we shall not be reporting on the deaths of thousands in a weeks time!
