Attack in California?
KSEE 24 ^ | 7/23/05 | Unknown

Posted on 07/25/2005 12:09:53 PM PDT by Syco

California's Department of Homeland Security is warning hospitals in Los Angeles and San Diego of a possible terrorist attack. The department says it received "uncorroborated information" in early July that Al Qaeda has planned attacks in Los Angeles and San Diego. It quotes a U.S. government source saying eight trained pilots are already in the U.S., and nearly a dozen Al Qaeda members in California are helping them plan attacks using planes hijacked from Mexico or India. Their top targets are said to include a nuclear facility, a military or civilian airport, or a major hospital. The attacks are said to be planned for September or October. The department says it is warning people even though the information is uncorroborated, so people can keep their eyes open for anything suspicious.

September or October. California is a likely target but it would be a stupid move on the part of Al Qaeda as the most vocal opponents of the war are found here. It would be interesting to see though how Californians would react if we were attacked. Would we wake up and rally around the war effort or would we blame Bush for getting us in this situation. My guess (sadly) is the latter.

Most to effective to warn airlines in Mexico and/or India, I would think.

Took the words right out of my mouth. The fifth column element is in the People's Republic of Kalifornia.

Well, no one ever said that terrorists had any political savy

so people can keep their eyes open for anything suspicious.

But remember, never, never profile.

It's is better for people to die than for CAIR to complain.

San Onofre has been considered a target for a while. Iodine was distributed to people living in the vicinity a few years back.

Aircraft arriving in CA all the way from India are not going to have a particularly full belly of aircraft fuel.

The Islamonazis could not care less if they kill liberals or conservatives. Too bad that so many liberals are too stupid to realize this.

Gee, we've got the same Rumor Control spinning a September or October attack on Boston / NY....

With all the rumors, we're bound to get hit?

Mexico would be very upset if a hospital in Los Angeles was attacked. Too many of its citizens would be injured, too many staff or patients.

Where do you get this?

After 911 everyone in my neighborhood flew their flags, many still do, daily since then.

The only thing Bush will get blamed for are his open border policies, and lack of border enforcement, compounded by the fact the after 911 he failed to immediately reform our immigration policies.

He is still granting thousands of Visas to people from Mideastern countries.

I dunno about the reaction. Lefties are mostly talk. If they feel personally threatened, I think their self-preservation will kick in; it was easy enough for Kalifornia to talk tough when the blowup was all the way over in NY. They could always blame Bush for not being tough enough on the terrorists to make themselves "happy" about getting tough on terrorists.

"so people can keep their eyes open for anything suspicious."

Ok, if I see an airliner coming down out of the sky on a collision course with any buildings, I'll be sure to report it.

One only needs to look at NYC to discover the answer to that question.
