My spider senses are tingling, too. Something is up. Do not forget that cell phones can be used to remotely detonate explosives, that is, to trigger an IED. Imagine thousands of IEDs going off all over this country, Canada, Australia, Europe, all on the same day?
The Islamifascists are stupid to believe this would make us back off, instead of going for their collective throats and hineys.
Re the day all the IEDs go off across Norte America. I have seen high administration officials constantly saying openly that Syria and Iran are the suppporters of hizzies and the insurgency in Iraq, and by inference all of the Islamofascist movement. This tells me that IF we get hit in the homeland the first pay back will be Iran. Remember: you are either with us or with the terrorists, in the WOT. The Taliban learned that the hard way. Iran has a big target on its back.
To quote our Vice President, "Oh yeah. Big time."
If we think that it can't happen to us we're fooling ourselves. I don't doubt that we'll win such a battle. If we take the gloves off we'll destroy them all. It won't be pretty and it won't be cost free, by a long shot, but we'll wipe them off of the planet, perhaps literally.
My great fear is what that will do to us. Who will we be when we're done? So long as we can ask that question I'll have hope, but it will be a near thing. I'd hate to win only to find that we've been turned into them.
