Haven't we heard this before every major (and not so major) holiday for the last 5 years?

[oceanview]

yes, but this time - AQ just won the US elections.

Holiday, Superbowl, you name it. It's gettin old.

It's also time we just tell em for every American you kill, 100,000 Arabs will die.

And then if it comes to it, just do it.

Your are right! Every holiday, special sports/musical/Hollywood event we get these predictions. They will hit us when we least expect it (IMHO) and as part of their own timing. Might happen on a special day or just any ol’ day of the week. The only thing we can bet on … it will happen.

"Haven't we heard this before every major (and not so major) holiday for the last 5 years?"

Yeah, if it weren't for 9-11 I wouldn't be taking intelligence on terror attacks seriously.

What point are you making?

[Chewie84]

I was just about to say that. I remember a few years ago, an Al Qaeda representative appeared in a video talking about an attack on American soil during the Christmas season and ominously saying, "The gift for the holiday is on its way." Nothing happened.
Not saying we should let our guard down, of course, but we shouldn't get too paranoid, either.

I'm sick of it too. I bet that half of the people always crying that Al Qadea is going to attack us probably smoke a pack of cigarettes a day and don't wear their seat belts. They will attack us, I am sure of this, but I can't worry about it 24/7. The best revenge is to live a full and happy life. THAT will piss the bastards off.
