"Why land on the beaches when you can tromp across the bordewr with weapons and lie in wait untio activated in brigade level strength?

Its a theory...but its definitely doable given the current policies."(judicial meanz)

That is a great theory you have going of what they are up to IMHO. The Mexican/AQ connection is interesting, as far as setting up safe houses and stockpiling weapons and "personnel." Check my post at:

....

On another note, I've been thinking that AQ may be working on a (Lebanon)Beirut Barracks Attack type of plan, only bigger(maybe an armed assault after the initial explosions?), simultaneous, and right here in The USA. I hope not of-course, it's just a hunch I've been exploring. I hope our Base security here at home is as good as it is at The Green Zone in Bahgdad, Iraq. For all we know AQ could have an 18,000 person army here already!

You are on to something with that theory.

I'm usually just drinking decaf tea when I read TM but I had to go get a brandy & OJ after reading this.

Wasn't there something about Fort Knox being a target recently? And hasn't there been concern about Fort Bragg too?

A couple of threads ago we extrapolated some stats from the US Border Patrol and were able to project a possible "army" of up to 70,000 AQ currently "in-country." Of course not all of these will be "trigger pullers," because they will also require logistics folks and intell gatherers. But that is still a good sized combat force. Also, remember that a large number of state national guard units are deployed elsewhere. Here is a prime example where the "Blue States" gun control policies could lead to their destruction.
