Zarqawi sleeper cells hope to hit U.S "movie theaters, restaurants and schools."

Birmingham News ^ | November 07, 2004 | Joseph C. Myers

An accented, angry voice comes over the intercom system: "Attention, attention teachers. You must move your students to the auditorium immediately." There are screams and confusion in the hallways....

Another teacher, sensing the spreading danger, closes and locks her classroom door, quickly she yells to open the windows and tells the children to climb out and run away. A driver passing by sees a group of children rolling off the school's window ledges and darting across the athletic field.

ABC News reports the Sleeper Cell threat may be overstated : "Secret FBI Report Questions Al Qaeda Capabilities" at http://abcnews.go.com/WNT/print?id=566425

So I guess we don't have to worry about Zarqawi's threats to attack our schools and soft targets?

....See Time Magazine http://www.time.com/time/magazine/printout/0,8816,1037626,00.html.

New Jersey in January announced a top-to bottom vulnerability study of their entir school system and malls with an eye toward raising their anti-terrorism profile...I suggest the rest of the Country follow their lead ....quickly!

But the FBI just told us last week that they can't find sleeper cells in the US. The need to call Steven Emerson again. He has a warehouse filled with information.

FNC reporting now that Zarkowi planning to hit soft targets in the US. This info comes from a top aid to Zarkowi who has been under interrogation.

[Guillermo]

Michael Moore and the rest of the Looney Left insist there is no terrorist threat...

[MeneMeneTekelUpharsin]

Go for it. We're waiting. We're still waiting. Well?

While I'm no fan of the FBI (on the whole) - the fact is they are probably correct when it comes to any sleeper cells -

The fact is we have removed al Qeade from Afghanistan, killed thousands of them in Afghan, Pak and Iraq - We have held "western" style democratic elections in both Afghanistan and Iraq - Freedom is spreading (has been) -

The idea that if there were planted "sleeper cells" in America they would have surly acted by now - Some people keep wanting to prop up these scum more than they deserve -

The bottom line is al Qeade is on the run - We have killed / captured over 3/4 of their known leadership (the real brains of this Org) -

The best strategy is to take the fight to them (like we have been) Keep them on the run while at the same time allowing freedom and self-worth to spread throughout the Middle East (thus robbing them of recruits). - And killing the ones the do manage to bring on board -

If Muslim sleeper cells carry out such attacks on Americans, they should not be surprised when thousands of mosques across the nation are burned to the ground. We are not panty waist appeasing Euro cowards. We will destory you. Do not mess with the U.S.

[Modok]

See any of the stuff out of Hollywood recently. They may have already struck.

[lodwick]

And the borders remain WIDE OPEN to any, and all.

"We will destory you. Do not mess with the U.S."

Yes, it would be a severe mistake to try any cr*p like that here. The people will rise up and the Muslims in this country will pay a stiff price for the actions of a very few of them.

Fine, then let's clarify our 2nd Amendment right to bear arms and do so!

I don't mind watching a movie or eating a meal while packing a semi-auto and 50+ rounds of ammo.

BRING IT ON!!

That is of course what they want to have happen.

I don't think we'll do that.
Internment? Perhaps.
We are after all, a nation of laws.

More to the immediate point every town in America is fulkl not only of police but citizens that are the genuine descendants of the Minutemen. I have 24 years of active service and another 20 of reserve with the Marines. And even in this small town I am not alone.

You are right America is not Europe. To paraphrase Admiral Halsey's comments right after Peral Harbor, "Arabic will only be spoken in hell".

[School of Rational Thought]

For a complete list of target sites please refer to your state's laws restricting firearms to even permit holders.

Now you know why these areas are called "criminal enterprise zones".

[Spruce]

If this does happen it will be cowboy-and-raghead time across the country.

"If Muslim sleeper cells carry out such attacks on Americans, they should not be surprised when thousands of mosques across the nation are burned to the ground."

"That is of course what they want to have happen."

Exactly, one of the primary intentions of terrorism is a violent overreaction to justify their initial violence and gain more supporters. We are stronger than that, all true Americans of every creed will stand together against these thugs. We will not fall prey to terrorism's psychological tactics, we will show them why we are the greatest nation on earth.

[Peach]

We've arrested some entire cells here (Rochester?) and somehow, the fact that the FBI can't find more, doesn't encourage me that there aren't any more.

But in the main, I agree with your post and entirely with the Bush doctrine of keeping them on the run.

[Modok]

Yes, we must not fall into the trap they have laid by responding with overwhelming destruction. We must be bigger than that, and kiss them on the other cheek. Then they will know that we are stronger than they are and leave with their tail between their legs.
