CIA Agent: Nuke Attack Surely Coming

"They're intention is to end the war"

They're or their?

[section9]

Am I the only one who thinks that all of this chaos and finger-pointing at the CIA + these nuke warnings that seem to be coming every day now == bad news....

I don't want to panic, but the government has not been very reassuring of late.

Before you go and purchase your iodide tablets, understand what's going on. Bush won the election. That means one of the CIA's most vocal critics, Porter Goss, will keep his job as DCI. Goss has carte blanche from Bush to clean the Augean Stables. Kerry was going to fire Goss and put in someone friendly to the Agency beuracracy. The deadasses at Langley who got royally buggered by bin Laden and AQ for ten years are going to get a serious reaming, at the President's request.

Their intel on AQ was atrocious. Their intel on Iraq was just as bad. They leaked stuff on Bush all year to try to get their boy Kerry across the goal line. Scheur was told he could go on a lecture tour by the powers that be, then when he started pointing fingers at the higher ups in the CIA, they told him to shut up. This is a pantload of sound and fury; the leaks to the Post hit team of Pincus and Milbank from the Agency are the latest in the smokescreen.

The CIA has been invulnerable up to this time. Now, after chronic failure, they are not.

Be Seeing You,

I think if the CIA were really scared about some nuclear attack they wouldn't be having a purge.

These bombs emit a lot of radiation. I think we have a lot of technology to detect that.

[RightWhale]

If Alqaida actually does use a nuke inside the USA the war will not end quickly, and it especially won't be a winner for Alqaida.

Sorry, I became excited when someone appearing on a 60 Minutes show actually criticized Clark and Tenet. I mistook him for a real person for a minute there.

I totally agree with you regarding the aftermath of such an attack - it surely seems likely to happen.

[TFine80]

My fear is that all of this blaming stems from the fact he recognizes the CIA is incompetent....

[mlocher]

I watched this and I thought it was funny how SM somewhat distorted the timeline to almost make it appear that the CIA dropped the ball during the Bush administration

i didn't watch the show (cbs news is nixed in our household), but you are correct...we had at least 3 chances to get obl during clinton's watch...

[MHGinTN]

You fail to realize that OBL wants the non-muslim world at the throat of the world's muslims, to generate the jihad he is seeking. He is more than willing to have US kill millions of muslims, to incite the jihad in his name from the survivors. OBL is a threat to US, but it is the Muslims who ought be scared to death of OBL because he will gladly sacrifice millions of them (men, women, children, it matters not a whit to Osama in his self-deification) to get his worldwide holy war.

[Asclepius]

The story within the story: the President has begun the long-overdue process of purging the CIA. The CIA has retaliated through leaks and rogues and panic-mongering.

Expect things to get worse before they get better.

[alnick]

Where was this jerk before September 11? Why wasn't he leaking info to the MSM then?

That's a good point.

I tend to think that if AQ was capable of that kind of attack, they'd have struck prior to the election. They really wanted Bush to lose that election.

[Fiddlstix]

Why doesn't steve kroft go catch OBL then, he seems to know all about it.

Ditto!

[onyx]

LOL!
Good answer.

I am not even thinking about '08,
but I sure like John Thune. (I know,
senator's are rarely elected president).

[John Lenin]

Is a preemptive strike in the works ? I hope so.

[wagglebee]

I agree!
If Kroft is the premier expert on OBL that he and CBS claim he is, why the hell isn't he over there catching him and collecting the $50 million.

[NeoCaveman]

I am not even thinking about '08,

Think we'll be too nuked to vote? LOL

but I sure like John Thune. (I know, senator's are rarely elected president).

My mom likes him too. I'm noticing a trend here.....

[wagglebee]

Correction: Scheuer not Kroft.

[Snapple]

Good post. I notice on this forum people are always saying to kill the Muslims.

OBL is already doing that. And some people here play right into his propaganda by advocating mass genocide.

Sickening.

[Texas Songwriter]

I would ask all Freepers to engage in a little role playing.Begin Here....AlQuaeda manages to get a small nuclear device across the Rio Grande River and arrives in Houston,Texas. The detonation is located in the Shell Refinery area near the ship channel. Several hundred thousand Americans are killed. Our response is .......? Does this country have the intel or clarity of purpose to stop this war in a moment of time with massive punishment to all nations which harbor islamofascist hatred of America. Are we going to continue to nibble around the edges, sacrificing America's blood and treasure? Will political correctness continue to paralyze us as a nations preventing the leadership from acting on clarity of purpose. What say you?

[Sociopathocracy]

If these loser, socialist CBS creeps really thought that al Qaeda was going to set a nuke off in Times Square, they wouldn't be coming into work. Viacom (and most of CBS) is located at 44th Street and Seventh Avenue in Times Square.
