What you are about to read is a compilation of intelligence and information gathered from various sources ranging from press releases issued by the White House, to various communications made by known or suspected terrorists, on both open and “closed” forums. The opinions and theories stated here are those of this analyst, compiled from extensive research and analysis of the data referenced above. Any information contained in this analysis that could be interpreted as a threat to the US , its citizens, or allies has already been turned over to the appropriate federal authorities.To those not wishing to be informed of the possibility of a catastrophic event occurring within the United States that intelligence findings suggest “will make September 11th, 2001 pale in comparison,” you would be well advised to avoid reading the following analysis. It has proven to be an exhaustive investigation, with many twists and turns into areas that shocked even this analyst.What I present to you here is at times shocking and frightening, but should not be construed as a conspiracy theory or a prediction of “Doomsday.”
However, make no mistake…The Threats Are There, The Ships Are Real… The Possibilities That Exist….

AL QAEDA’S NAVY An Analysis Of Its Potential Danger
by
Jill St. Claire,
During an interview conducted in May 2002, United States Vice President, Dick Cheney spoke of another terrorist attack in the United States . Referring to the type of attack and the possible timing of such an event, Cheney stated:
"We don't know if it's going to be tomorrow, or next week or next year," Cheney said.. The U.S.-led war on terrorism has had some successes at disrupting the al Qaeda terrorist network, making it more difficult for them to carry out operations, he noted, but it's almost impossible to build "a 100 percent perfect defense."
"The American people must understand the reality of the enemy we're up against," he stressed. Even if your defense is 99 percent successful, that other one percent "can still kill you." [1]
It has been 27 months since the attacks of 9/11 at the time of this writing, and 18 months since the vice president cautioned that we must be prepared. Where do we stand now in terms of our preparation status? My analysis clearly indicates that WE ARE NOT PREPARED and have taken few significant steps to protect our country in any meaningful way against the specific threats I will identify in this report.
For those readers who have grown weary of hearing about imminent terrorist attacks in the United States and feel like you are you reading another “the sky is falling” analysis, I urge you to understand that it is not a question of IF, but a matter of when and where it will occur and by what means. This analysis addresses the latter two possibilities:
The Protection of Our Ports and Coastlines
Based on the intelligence and data reviewed by this analyst and the multi-faceted investigation conducted over the course of the last few months, I am convinced that an attack by ship, underwater, or through the use of tectonic weapons is indeed on the “short list” of possible scenarios.
One of the most disturbing facts I have discovered from my research is that I have found very little to support any conclusion that the US government is prepared to adequately protect its sea ports against a major terrorist attack. The intelligence is growing daily concerning maritime activities that could be (and have been verified) as related directly to terrorists.
