WASHINGTON [MENL] -- The United States should brace for the prospect of suicide attacks against mass transit such as those that rocked London in July 2005.

The Rand Corp. said in a report that the United States would be next in line for suicide attacks that have already struck Europe and Asia . The report, authored by Bruce Hoffman, said the most likely attacks would be those against mass transit and inspired by the 2001 suicide strikes by Al Qaida in New York and Washington.

"It seems very likely that we will see more suicide attacks in the United States in the future," the report, entitled "Defending America Against Suicide Terrorism," said. "The suicide aspect of the 9/11 [2001] attacks was essential to their success and stunning impact."

Indeed.

As long as our borders are wide open, the chances of such an occurance increase.

That's probably a safe prediction. It will happen here. With the fricking borders wide open and the current political correctness climate, it's only a matter of time.

It's already happened here. Remember 9/11, anybody?

Gee, I could have read the open press and al Qaeda propaganda and written this. Without charging the government a couple of million dollars for it.
D'OH!

Ummm ya think? Why not, when our stupid liberal media and left wing whack job politicians feed right into the hands of these murderous thugs. And when they do attack us again, we'll set up shop for all the poor terrorists to explain why they hate America so much...then we'll teach our children that America is nothing but a big bully and President Bush is at fault.

I am surprised it hasn't already happened. Or maybe it has.What was that flight that blew up over New Jersey in October after September 11, 2001?
