I'm leaning toward DC being the next target of choice by the pious terrorists.
The important thing to remember is that the terrorists
targeted the WTC TWICE, they failed the first time.
So too they targeted the WhiteHouse on 9-11 but failed
the first time...
very true, plus the OBL and AQ messages before elections => no matter who wins, you're not safe.
i'm having hard time decyphering their "go ahead" to use Nukes against us and the recent "stories" about Islamists seeking nuclear material abroad. we've seen their tenacity and willingness to give all for the cause -- what I can't figure is whether they've only now moving forward to procure materials for next strike, or are these recent stories just "noise" to keep our security resources running wild?
what makes it all hit home for me is that both Ashcroft and Cheney have said on more than one occassion that Nuclear Attack is what concerns them the most => believe these statements are more than just idle warnings, as neither man, in MHO, appears to be prone to playing "chicken little;" they strike me as matter-of-fact types who make decisions and take action give facts at hand, especially Cheney.
ultimately, what will be will be, but I'm keepin' eyes open and eyes to the ground => if we're going to get lucky, it'll be because someone notices something that isn't right.
