However, I would love to them give the FLEET Center a timely enema!
1. Since 9/11 security in NYC has been tightened up immensely.
2. Manhattan, as an island, is relatively easier to control and monitor access, compared to Boston.
3. The regular grid layout of Manhattan's streets and avenues makes it much easier to provide layered, defensive cordons....
That all depends if AQ is determined to merely make a statement, or want to take the maximum number of lives, or induce panic..For example..to take DfU's dirtty bomb scenario..which is plausible...what if they decide to detonate such a devise outside Yankee stadium, when the Red Sox are inside, and it's filled with 55,000 screaming fans..Think about it..considerable loss of life, the panic of "nuclear" disaster, and a contaminated and unusable Yankee Stadium...
I know you were being flippant, but that's just a stupid comment.
I'm sure you not ACTUALLY wishing the terrorists success in slaughtering innocents (along with Rats)
Oh but image the spin. Bush didn't do enough to stop terrorism!!! Bush orchestrated the whole thing to attack the Dems!!!! Then add in the sympathy vote.
We need to defeat the RAT enemy at the ballot box. We don't want people killed except the terrorists. (those who aid them, we want in jail)
