WASHINGTON - On this snow-draped Inauguration Day in Washington, a few people on Capitol Hill were thinking about the worst: a catastrophic attack that could kill or incapacitate most members of Congress, the president, the vice president and the cabinet.

The unseen presence at this first inauguration since Sept. 11, 2001, is al-Qaida, whose terrorists showed three years ago how capable they were of killing thousands of Americans in one place at one time.

At 9:30 on inauguration morning, in his office in the Longworth Building, a short walk from where the president would soon take his oath, Rep. Brad Sherman, D-Calif., said, “It is very clear that al-Qaida wishes to do only things that are destabilizing to the United States. More modest terrorists would have blown up an apartment building in the last three years. But al-Qaida is not dead and they don’t think small. They think in terms of the power of the United States and how do you symbolically destroy, physically destroy, that power.”

[ladyinred]

I tell you, the MSM is doing everything it can to provoke some loose cannon into attempting an assassination.

They along with most of the left have been doing all they could to bring this about for 4 years now. Irresponsible and reprehensible.

[AirForceMom]

I hope so too, meanwhile we have fun with it. We are going on 31 years and it's nice to still hold hands!!

[Conspiracy Guy]

It's good work if you can get it!
