And if there is, can open season on muslims be far behind?

Yes, won’t it be interesting if we miss getting information on the next attack because the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court didn’t get back to our guys fast enough for them to intercept the critical terrorist communications.

We have not suffered an attack since September 11...

Except that Anthrax thing... and the various plots nationwide foiled out of either dumb terrorists, dumb luck, or infiltration.

Great theory - the tip-off to the ragheads makes them more stealth, so how will we know until the big one happens.

Be prepared, be armed.

Open season? Haha, it should be on those who have openly aided and abetted the terrorists and done so for political empowerment at any cost. Plinking those bastards out of office ought to be priority number one, to send a clear message to the DNC that We the people are going to tolerate no more treachery and treason from Democraps and their leftist sycophants in media.

In New Jersey, the most striking thing about the planned attack was that it was averted not by successful police work but by an alert video-rental clerk.

I know this is supposed to alarm me, but it actually gives me hope. We really can't sit around and expect the police to take care of us in the face of terrorism. We, as citizens, need to be alert and ready. The fact that an ordinary video-rental clerk foiled the plot shows me that some of us still are.

“Aspiring terrorists, here and overseas, have been made well aware that they are facing highly sophisticated monitoring technology. They act accordingly. Is that one reason we are not learning about their identities and activities until their bombs are already in place?”

YES, and instead of thanking the NYSlimes, America will blame Bush entirely.

The way of We The People is to vote the devils out of office. But if enough of our fellow Americans are slaughtered by the friends of the dems such that the goal of the democrats is reached (chaos vacuum into which they plan to move), the bastards won’t get the chance to be voted out of office.

Sadly if such an attack come to our shores the Democrats will blame Bush:

Maybe Chertoff can get around to stopping the terror plot once he figures out how to enforce the law to stop illegal immigration.

We have not suffered an attack since September 11, which is obviously a critical indicator of success.

I totally disagree with that statement. It is an indicator of nothing. What if the reason the US hasn't suffered an attack is because nobody's trying really hard, or allocating enough resources to do it? I wouldn't use that as a metric of success, and neither should the UK.

Audrey Hudson (Washington Times) was on Savage last week.

Her sources tell her the Scotland incident was a trail run to test 1st responders.

If you heard Glenn Beck today, he feels the Middle East is about to implode. Things are not good....

news reports last week spoke of a secret warning

If we know it, it's not a secret.

The Muslim world should be warned in clear, unequivocal, terms that if anything “spectacular” occurs, or is even attempted, then Mecca and Medina will be nuked within 12 hours.

I think that the increased chatter that’s been picked up in recent weeks was mostly related to the UK car bombings. Those attacks by the “doctors” and their state sponsors were assuredly quite some time in the making.

You hit the nail on the head about “not tolerating any more treason by the democrats”. If we can vote them out and put in some people who love this country we won’t have to worry about the terrorists because they WILL be dealt with as needed.
