WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, al Qaeda's chief ally in Iraq, may be planning attacks on "soft targets" in the United States including movie theaters, restaurants and schools, Time magazine reported on Sunday. White House national security adviser Stephen Hadley would not discuss the specific warning, which Time said was circulated among U.S. security agencies last week in a restricted bulletin. But he said the administration was concerned about reports -- "which we think are very credible" -- that Zarqawi is working more closely with Osama bin Laden's al Qaeda organization. Hadley said movie theaters, restaurants and schools "are the kinds of targets we know that al Qaeda has traditionally been concerned about." "But we, at this point sitting here, do not have evidence of a specific operation by Zarqawi's organization targeting those kinds of targets. We just don't have that kind of information at this point," Hadley told CNN's "Late Edition." The warning comes two weeks after President Bush, in a rare public mention of the mastermind of the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks, said stopping bin Laden from a new attack on U.S. soil was "the greatest challenge of our day." Time said the bulletin was based on the interrogation of a member of Zarqawi's organization. It cited Zarqawi's belief that "if an individual has enough money, he can bribe his way into the U.S.," by obtaining a visa to Honduras and then traveling across Mexico and the southern U.S. border.

Hmm, another reason to stay away from the movies...
They're neutered, and have been since the moment the second plane hit the second of the Twin Towers, when we all knew we were at war.
Is this from the "Obvious" files. If anybody in the Executive branch is surprised by this, they should resign in shame.
The King of Cowards of course being Osama Bammma Ding Dong, followed closely but the rest of the Islamic pussys who run at the first chance of a real fight rather than the woman and children they love to tangle with.
Not being one who patronizes movie theaters, restaurants and schools, any chance my insurance premiums will go down a bit?
I'm not seeing the problem here.
This sucks, just in time for the last Star Wars movie..
GRRRR
Not a problem as far as Congress is concerned until they start targeting bars and whorehouses.

Warning?
Location, Location, Location?
WHOA, they better NOT even think about our schools...They will face the FULL WRATH of the American folk! We'll go after them like something they have NEVER ever seen!! Touch our children you BASTARDS and you won't live to tell about it!!!
Didn't the FBI just tell us last week there were no sleeper cells in the US? Pretty much whatever they say, I know it's the polar opposite.
if ya got um , pack um......
Cowardly but it works. Why do you think cockroaches are so hard to control?" Fortunately, cockroaches can't carry explosives. Come to think of it cockroaches have too much self respect to blow women and children.
"Imagine, the outrage 10 times worse than 911
going after kids is a big mistake."
Imagine, those animals attacking a school withing New York City. Many of the parents (not the libs of course) would take matters in their own hands. A couple of "guidos" with baseball bats, Dominicans with machetes and outraged mothers would have those would-be attackers running back to caves.
Yes it works to the extent that they can create fear amongst the population. As a long-term battle tactic though it ain't gonna get them too far.
"It cited Zarqawi's belief that "if an individual has enough money, he can bribe his way into the U.S.," by obtaining a visa to Honduras and then traveling across Mexico and the southern U.S. border."
Then seal the Gosh damned border this instant! Enough of this b.s.! Tell Vicente Fox to screw off and seal that damned border! How many of us are going to have to die in order to placate this Mexican mafioso? Does Bush want to sacrifice more U.S. lives in the service of this weird devotion to Fox, from which the US gets NOTHING in return??? Fox, who would be more aptly named "Rat," wouldn't even support us on the liberation of Iraq when they were a temporary member of the UN Security Council in 2003. So why the hell do we keep kissing up to this pimp?? My gosh, CLOSE THE DAMNED BORDER ALREADY!!
300,000,000 guns in country;
a number of open carry states;
thousands of CCW permits;
We all best pray this never happens.
