and our answer to this should be the new pork MOAB
Maybe they can recruit some of Arafat's old boyfriends!
We KNOW from the TERRORISTS' penned and stated intentions that the destruction of Western Civilization is their ultimate goal.
To let them plot another ATTACK on our soil under the cover of the FOURTH AMENDMENT is lunacy.
This topic brings back a freeper post durring the anthrax incident after 9-11.I can't remember the freeper's name, but I won't forget this "theory" on the topic.
His(or her)post came up with this possible answer:
What if the anthrax letters were actually a not-so-subtle threat by Saddam after 9-11??
The reasons for the "mini" anthrax attack, was to threaten the Bush administration if we were going to invade Iraq, because of the tie-ins with Al-Queda and Saddam's BIG role in training them and letting them use Iraq as a "terrorist basic training site" to attack the US.
Saddam was playing the Oil-For-Food (OFF) thing, and had no way to retaliate against the US in any open attack that could be traced back to him.
Therefore, the Anthrax was the way to go. The US was still smarting from 9-11, had the "Gorelick Wall" still in place,Homeland Security was in BARELY underway, and we didn't have ANY idea if a large scale attack was already set to go here with nothing but a "GO" signal to set it off.
If you were the Bush administration at that time, how would you respond to a threat like that?? The airlines were all going broke because of so many people afraid to fly after the 9-11 attacks. Can you imagine a country wide coordinated anthrax attack, with the USPS as the main vehicle, and major ventalation systems in some of the larger buildings, and then in say the major public transportation systems ALL AT THE SAME TIME??
The Bush administration could have been "blackmailed" very easily by Saddam and Al-Queda, by saying they would do a full blown attack if Bush tried to pin the first attack on him. The attack would have been very hard to prove and connect it on Saddam and Al-Queda in the UN arena, due to the state of our intellegence apparatus at that time, and all the UN member countries involved in it, who could have also been "blackmailed" by Saddam and Al-Queda by threatening to expose them in the scandal if they didn't keep obstructing the US from gathering international support for the US and coalition almost certain retaliatory invasion because of the 9-11 and anthrax attacks.
The Bush adminisration could also NOT GO PUBLIC with this information. It would have devestated the US economy, not to mention the mass panic and fear. No US mail delivery for an extended period of time,due to the leaking of information like that is almost unimagionable. The incubation period alone is such an effective weapon, that by the time we realized that a wide spread attack had taken place,.....well let's just say it would be a major "problem".
And what if this "theory" really was true???
I would have to consider a major anthrax attack on the US in the WMD catagory. Why haven't we found out who did it yet?? IIRC, the "type" of anthrax used was only available to approximately four different locations in the world, with one of the four being in Iraq.
Can you imagine being President Bush, knowing what he knew, but not being able to go public with it?? Knowing for the VERY SURVIVAL OF THE US, HE HAD TO RETALIATE, or the "mudlums" would know they were on their way to our total destruction because we DID NOT RESPOND.
And worse yet, having to take all the crap he's taking since then, because the WMD reason given for our invasion of Iraq, didn't find ANY "Weapon's of Mass Destruction" in Iraq, according to the MSM, and the Dems, and all the Bush haters.
And one more thing before I close...can you imagine if some of the major Dem politial anti-Bush bunch DO know about the situation Bush is in because of his not being able to expose it as yet, and are using it AGAINST HIM by painting Bush as a liar with this NO-WMD's in Iraq, so Bush is a liar mantra??.....
Sorry for the "rant", but IMHO, I considered that freeper's post kinda interesting.....
Ping
Wonder if McCain knows this? Sure would not want to "torture" anyone one of these killers to protect our military.

Thanks for pointing this out. I did a quick Google search, and did indeed find articles confirming what you stated.
Here is a link for the sceptics: Suicide bombers' lasting legacy
BBC News, 25 July, 2002
Suicide bombers may not just cause carnage when they blow themselves up - they may also spread disease from beyond the grave.
Israeli doctors have analysed bits of bone embedded in a bomb survivor, and found that they tested positive for the liver infection hepatitis B.
He said it might also be wise to test for other diseases that could potentially be spread in the same way. These include four kinds of hepatitis, dengue fever, syphilis, CJD and possibly malaria. Doctors are most concerned about the potential for spreading HIV.
It is. And, like the Enquirer, no one believes what is in it unless it is something they already want to believe.
It's that way in all the media.
Yep that's pretty much right. Somehow, I have my doubts the "tolerant" religeous fanatics would have anything to do with those tainted by AIDS. Too much of a stigma. Other diseases... not sure. In either caes the source is on the par with those that report alien sightings.
I would be extremely surprised if it took that long.
I'd say that AQ is pretty damn inconsiderate of the 72 virgins that these slime will infect in paradise.
Well.....
No doubt there is an abundance of HIV infected homosexuals among the fudge packing Arabs.....
In the past -- astute Muslim clerics have explained that the only way a homosexual can enter paradise is to perform a homicide bombing....
"Religion"???
Hardly -- Islam is a murderous cult for lunatics.
Semper Fi
It's the intent that counts....a clear demonstration that they will use everything at their disposal. Which in turn means they must be completely destroyed.
