SEPTEMBER 11, 2001: "ATTACK ON AMERICA" (Updated)
http://www.truthusa.com/911.html
A big truck in Manhattan should be considered suspicious....
I was just thinking about this yesterday. Nothing happened in Boston to the dimocrats.
So.......if AlQaeda wants to disrupt the elections they will have to do it in New York. My fear is that it will be transportation oriented -- like sarin gas in Japan attack and kill many delegates going to and from the convention.
Or that they may have a car bomb (or car bombs) rigged outside of hotels where delegates are staying.
Definitely this thread is one for the Threat Matrix.
Tactic never seen in the U.S.??? I just checked the ABC link and they still haven't corrected their disgraceful error. I guess the OKC Murrah Building and WTC Building bombing in 1993 are forgotten memories at ABC.
A friend who works at one of the alphabet agencies near DC said this to me on Friday afternoon about transportation along the eastern seaboard: "Do not fly, do not take a train, and (expletive deleted), do not go to New York any time soon." Unfortunately, that's all he would say.
As a side note, it cost the Dems $2.5 million to purchase insurance for their soiree in Boston. At last words, the GOP is foregoing the purchase of insurance for their convention because the risk to insurers is too high and the rates for insuring the event would be astronomical, if not budget busting.

And still we have no troops on the border.
This is absolutely assinine
If an attack does come, and we find out that those people crossed the border from Mexico or Canada, then I firmly believe those people who made it possible should be held criminally responsible. Unto the loss of their freedoms in a federal jail.
"Authorities already have in custody a woman of Pakistani-origin arrested after crossing into Texas. She carried a South African passport with several of the pages torn out, $7,000 in cash and an airplane ticket to New York."
MAKE THIS ONE SING LIKE A BIRD.
I hope the nuke rumors aren't true....
The two anchors crossed represent cooperation and strength
Silver and Gold stars represent the Auxiliary and Coast Guard members
Two red vertical bars represent the blood shed on the 11th of September, 2001
The eagle, superimposed upon the red bars,
represents our renewed strength and vigilance to
“never tire, never falter, never fail”.
Waterway Watch is the initial and primary Coast Guard Auxiliary program launched as a component of Operation Patriot Readiness,
and is a major part of the Coast Guard's maritime security initiative.
Waterway Watch promotes public awareness and involvement in Maritime Domain Awareness (MDA)
and Maritime Homeland Security (MHLS) activities.
Waterway Watch involves all Auxiliarists, both those performing direct operational missions
and those involved in Recreational Safe Boating operational support activities.
FNC and CNN aren't making too much of a big deal about this story.
The wise commuter, in any city, would be best served by avoiding any straight thoroughfares where an Islamic terrorist could get a "running start" with a stolen taxi or truck. My guess is that buildings with basement ramps or of glass construction would be most vulnerable.
Time to walk through the narrowest alleyways to and from the office...even if it takes an extra five or ten minutes each way.

Think if I lived in NYC , I'd just move .
Although the enemy knows our weaknesses (um, borders, economy), they still don't remember or don't place enough importance on how straongly we rallied when attacked last time. This is inconsistent with how "smart" they're supposed to be. Why isn't anyone analyzing that, instead of "why they hate us"?
Of course whiny, have it both ways skeptics will cry political foul. The fact is, the Republican convention is coming to town and now is the time to raise the threat level so that the city will be ready for the convention. This is the gathering the enemy would like to harm, not the out of power party convention. Assassination is at the top of their priority list. This is what I fear more than anything at this point. The jihadi publication referred to on ME Intel made the call to carry out kidnapping and assassination and we've seen assassination in Iraq and Chechnya and multiple kidnapping in Iraq. The enemy foot soldiers are obeying the message.
