Goss fears WMD attack in U.S. 'a matter of time'

By Bill Gertz THE WASHINGTON TIMES

Senior U.S. intelligence leaders told Congress yesterday that "it may only be a matter of time" before terrorists try to use weapons of mass destruction against the United States. In his first public appearance since becoming CIA director in September, Porter J. Goss used the annual worldwide threat hearing to issue the prediction, while another federal official said the FBI knows little about al Qaeda sleeper cells such as the September 11 terrorists. "It may be only a matter of time before al Qaeda or another group attempts to use chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear weapons," Mr. Goss told the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence. FBI Director Robert S. Mueller III testified that he is "very concerned" about the lack of data on a network of al Qaeda "sleeper" cells in the United States.

Thank YOU!!!

I have been reading your posts for some time now.

It is way past time for us to anti-up and get with the program.

There are things happening in my area of Central Florida that cannot be dismissed any longer.

I'm afraid to ask.  But you see by this map how many Mosque's are in Florida:

Yes, I have seen this map posted many times on FreeRepublic. The areas indicated (at least in FL) are known by Emerson to have strong terror funded groups. The map needs to be updated.
The islamomonsters are spreading like wildfire.


We live in an area that until the last 10-15 years was mainly agricultural. The big freezes in the 1980's forced many growers out of re-setting groves and into selling real estate. Huge citrus groves have been turned into developments. One acre of citrus trees now has 2, 3 or 4 homes. I am writing about thousands of acres of citrus groves.

I have just deleted two paragraphs in this post.

I will leave it to you to understand why I am so concerned.

"I will leave it to you to understand why I am so concerned. "

Yours is a concern that should be shared by all Americans.

And we continue to hand them their checks?

These administration morons should be fired and replaced with American Men who tell US they will get rid of every PC-dictated kid-glove methodology and will PREEMPTIVELY DO WHATEVER IT TAKES to ensure there are no attacks on and or within the United States.

Starting with their responsibility to defend Our Nation's Sovereign Borders -- and to rid our land of every criminal alien -- and his every offspring!

Well, that's a very small margin of people who see it the way we do. /sarcasm

The map needs to be updated.

It has been updated.  Here is the old map that was published in 2002:

Our elected officials are bound by their oath of office to protect our sovereignty and our borders.

They are going to look into it for a few years, then come to some sort of recommendation.

I wonder if that will be before or after a nuc goes off here?
