I never said anywhere specific. I hope they don't hit anywhere, but since our last election that probability has went way up.
If it doesn't happen in the U.S. it won't mean a thing to fat assed Americans.
Is this "house arrest" or "aid and comfort"?
Please don't tell me that this is "puzzling." D'ya suppose they might be going to surface somewhere else? I bet the intel agencies aren't so puzzled, but maybe don't want to talk to the leaky antiAmerican media about where the forces are expected to be redeployed.
Sounds like plans for an attack...
-In a move that has been puzzling intelligence agencies, al Qaeda has been withdrawing well-trained Arab fighters from the mountains and battlefields of Afghanistan.-
Are these the same 10,000 fighters that Zarqawi's successor in Iraq just boasted about?

Toward the very end of the article... Didn't see it mentioned in the discussion.
Analysts point to statements in recent months issued by Ayman al Zawahiri, Al Qaeda's number two, calling for attacks on Middle East oil installations.
"What they want to do is to hit something that will affect the Americans very markedly, and they've determined that the oil production facilities, whether it's pipelines or refineries, are something that can really contribute to the war against the United States," Scheuer said.
"It would be a win-win situation. It's taken al Qaeda the better part of a decade to figure out how to attack oil targets without hurting Muslims to any great extent and I think they finally stumbled on to it. The attack early this year on Abqaiq (the world's largest oil production facility in Saudi Arabia) was a failure, but it immediately drove the price of oil up more than $2 a barrel," he said.
they would figure Israel deserved it, perhaps the UK too, since they both are our allies. France or Germany would be good. I'm with you in not wishing it on anyone, BUT, there are a few cesspools over there, ready to cascade over the brim.
I hope to get a warning before the place goes up in a mushroom cloud.
Someone freepmail me in the event of impending DOOOOOOOOM!!!!
I've always called them moslems. They were moslems when I was growing up and they're moslems today. I don't know what language muslim is but it ain't the English I grew up with. Same with the capital of Occupied China, Peking. You want to speak Chinese go ahead. In English it's Peking.
They said the White House. I would think that is a target, since they didn't get it the first time and as we know they came back for a second shot at the towers. I the Pentagon could be another and possibly the Capitol. Statue of Liberty 'could' be another.
I feel for the Brits - and for Israel. What a mess.
Plus, for you, it would be true.
That's what Winston Churchill called them - Mohammedans - and probably what most of the world called them at one time. As in, "Those darn Mohammedans are marauding and forcefully converting again!"
And they don't take my hard-earned money to pay to rebuild it....
Some of the FOX commentators are showing the same level of disgust many of us have here... John Kasick filling in for OR is very ticked off at the President over Rummy.
It is a doggone shame that some country does not send a bevy of missles on Mecca, Terhan and Damaskas and give them a dose of terror.
If that didn't wake up the citizens of your city, what will? I was there the February after 911 and the entire city was still in shock, why didn't it wake them from their stubborn Democratic non-security-minded support?
Forget having any national secrets for the next two years. This group will run as fast as their chubby legs will carry them to the slimes and WAPO to spill secrets in return for no coverage of all their political crimes and misdemeanors.
