“The streets will run with blood” and “America will mourn in silence,” the man said, because it will be unable to count the number of the dead, according to Drudge.

Does anyone know of a weapon capable of this threat. I eman, those 2000 bombs in Iraq are huge, but they don't do this.

If anything this is more likely a Republican ploy to get the President MORE support. Too many reasons the MSM won't touch this story, wait and see.

Every poll shows that, unlike the pinko European Islam-o-fascist appeasers; when America is threatened we stand up to the threat and back whatever administration is in office.

Real terrorists will not threaten us directly right now because they know it would only increase Bush's support. They want the instability in the US Government and confusion among the American people that would naturally occur from a change in the administration and foreign policy.

Every time there was an Orange or Yellow alert this summer Bush's numbers went up and Kerry's went down because the majority of people (even dems) see Bush as stronger on terrorism.

I believe the threat information this summer was planted by the terrorist to test the waters of public perception in the US. They found out that an attack would hurt their cause so they backed off and abandoned their plans of a pre-election attack to sway votes to Kerry.

Now the day after we elect Bush they will be out for revenge. But the attacks they need (successful and large casualties in a big media center) will take some time to plan.

However a direct attack on us won't win them anything politically except firm America's resolve for winning in Iraq and unify the UN and wavering nations to our cause.

I doubt they will divert their energy until they view Iraq as a completely lost cause. Likely attack will be attempted 4-6 months after January.

Well, let's drop a few MOABs on select cities such as Tehran and Pyongyang and find out.
