Al Qaeda Cell in the U.S. Or On Its Way, According to New Intel (ABC's Brian Ross)(On Drudge)
ABC ^ | July 10, 2007 | Brian Ross

Posted on 07/10/2007 3:33:56 PM PDT by RDTF

Senior U.S. intelligence officials tell ABC News new intelligence from Afghanistan suggests a small al Qaeda cell is on its way to the United States, or may already be here.

The White House has convened an urgent multi-agency meeting for Thursday afternoon to deal with the new threat.

Top intelligence and law enforcement officials have been told to assemble in the Situation Room to report on:

--what steps can be taken to minimize or counter the threat,

--and what steps are being taken to harden security for government buildings and personnel.

"It suggests they have information that the cell or cells coming this direction want to attack a government facility," Brad Garrett, a former FBI agent and ABC News consultant, said.

Law enforcement officials say the recent failed attacks in London have provided important new clues about possible tactics.

And officials say the London attackers use of the Internet left important clues that are being used to decode other e-mails that had initially been deemed unimportant but are now taking on new significance.

AQ believes they can break our will completely with another strike. And with more than 70% of Americans telling pollsters they don’t want their military fighting AQ because it’s taking too long and it doesn’t look pretty on their TV, it’s hard to argue with them.

If we take a nuke, I hope your list is a light weight, in regard to our response to them. The biggest, and most offensive part that will stick in America's craw, is that the attack(ers) came from south of the border. It's stupid how anyone, from anywhere could waltz right in, and be here to be anything but cheap labor (big business, will realize full impact of unitended sonsequences) After a few hundred, or thousands dead, putting up security at the border will be a bitter pill, as we should have done something at the border eons ago. Good thing Americans own guns, and I would hate to have an ME look in any way.

When America takes here second serious hit at home, only their leader will know what it is like to be more pursued than Yamamoto. One strike (9/11) kept us to PC. We take a nuke, I don't care if we have to nuke whole countries off the map, we need to kill the problem, once and for all, unlike Japan, radical islamofacism will never serve any useful purpose to the human race. The sooner they're annihilated,the sooner the planet will resume to a healthy state.

Could they tell us something we don’t already know?

Tarmac is asphaltic

I wasn't sure what it was made of. I just used 'cement' to get the joke across.

That is exactly how they will come through to kill people Americans just won’t kill. And the president will continue to pursue his insane open borders suicide policy. If the president were to be impeached, it would be for dereliction of duty by failing to secure the borders of the country.

I do not believe it is a question of ‘if’ but a question of when and where. After the ‘hit’ the politicians will say, “we are going to become very serious now.” but there will be none who will believe the politicians. We will then be upon the edge of the razor sliding toward the pool of alcohol. There will be a lot of yelling and screaming, only to be following by more yelling and screaming. The only way to fight a war is to fight to win. We are not doing that! Many of our enemy will have to die for America and America’s allies to win this war. Otherwise many, many, more Americans will die, and may die anyway. We are in a position to choose, yet too many of our so-called leaders have already surrendered or joined with the enemy, otherwise there would be action to secure our borders. In War there are the quick and the dead. I hope Americans and America’s allies forgo the later.

On 9/11, they hit all their targets but one. That plane didn't make it out of Pa.
I've read the Muslims will keep trying until they hit their intended target. So, I suppose they're after the White House.

“After the ‘hit’ the politicians will say, “we are going to become very serious now.” but there will be none who will believe the politicians.”

I wish i could believe that. Most of the Dems will say it’s our fault since we didn’t get out of Iraq soon enough...Honestly, the only thing that will make them take notice is a nuclear explosion in either DC or New York where a lot of liberals, women and minorities are killed.

When did they cement over the Rio Grande?

Right before they rolled out the red carpet.

Just a hunch...I think the attack will be in NYC, on the subways, this month or next.

It'll be a heavy liberal area. The jihadists know there will be no retaliation, the people are unarmed and packed together like sewer rats, and the liberals will blame Bush like they did after 9/11.

They would have been here sooner, but the airliner lost their luggage.

Terror cells are already here and have been for quite sometime.

I’ve stood on the international bridge in Nuevo Laredo and watched a group of illegals float down the Rio Grande holding there plastic bags over their heads with one hand, ruddering with the other.

They aimed for a large thick patch of cat tails along the U.S. bank. They disappeared inside the cat tails and waited for night fall (IN BROAD DAYLIGHT).

No one challenged them. An older couple was recording it beside me.

Literally at the same time, I saw a group of Mexican men standing just across the center of the bridge. It was hot and the traffic was very heavy on the bridge that day.

A car broke down on the center of the bridge, three or so jumped in behind the car and began to push it into America acting as though they were in the auto themselves.....they got caught.

It’s so easy to get into America.

What the terrorist have, when will they execute plans, where they will do it...........that’s the question.

Not whether there already here or not.

Want to make a bet, we will discover that the terrorist entered the USA through the us-mex border.

Why do you say that, Palladin? I started taking the bus recently, apart from the fact that the 6 train is unbearable lately.

one may sign it with the intention that Shari’ah and Deen will always be his yardstick and that he will never sacrifice any of the teachings of Deen.

Actually the "yardstick" is the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1953.

If a Muslim lies on his citizenship application or upon taking the Oath Of Allegiance, then he is eligible for loss of citizenship, deportation, and the chance to practice "the Deen" more fully outside of the United States. Quite a few terrorists have had their citizenship revoked since 9/11.

It would be most humorous to see a Muslim making the conscientious objector argument.
