You said -- "If they had them they would have used them already."

Al Qaeda seems to have about a five-year planning cycle. They might not have acquired anything until recently (in the last year or so). So, this "if they had them they would have used them" argument is not too assuring, given the facts.

You are right on. God people I hope this is all BS. BUT and a Very big BUT and the one that worries me is the warnings that have been issued. Osama HAS to follow Islamic law and tradition or he will be discredited. Whether he really BELIEVES it or not-his followers damn well sure do. The cycle of warnings is a CLEAR indication that something is up. They would discredit themselves out of existence if their was no follow up.

GEEZ...stop thinking they think like us. The post attack reaction would be horrible. Infrastructure would be majorlly disrupted. Even little things that keep us going, to distract us or give us a break would be gone-such a sports events, etc. You have a city taken out-well the stadium and players(mostly) would be gone as well.

LISTEN-I'm not trying to be a chicken little. But if you play out the scenario...Why would you not be ready? So what-you have extra food and stuff. Look at Katrina. Hey I live in Rochester NY. Probably not on the list...But I do live close enough to the city where too many people rely on the gov't for everything and live day to day. Something happens and they can't waltz to the local supermarket or the check is not in the mail...well my shotgun will be used as a bit of a deterrent. Hey-again think of Katrina. You thought people freaked out-just imagine what would happen if a WMD attack occurred. Perhaps not Mel Gibson Thunderdome stuff...BUT some desperate people.

Hope and pray that I'm wrong...think it probably won't happen..but what if. REad up on the Fatwa warnings-thats the key that has given me pause. Whew!!
