Islam attacks when we are at our weakest financially and they also attack when new politicians take office. So this next coming quarter would in my mind be a moderate level chance of attack but early spring next year would be a high likelyhood of attack.
If we are hit, I suspect our citizens will expunge Muslims by making their lives very painful even if the government does nothing. I feel comfortable that the nuclear possibility is distant, even dirty bombs. This will not stay so in the next decade.
Let’s say chemicals or a dirty bomb were used and 1000 people died at some form of organized gathering. The population and economy will not falter and fail like 911. I doubt they will attack a school either like in Beslan. Those poor kids there did not deserve to die, but James Woolsey did publically state the Moscow apartment bombing/invasion of Chechyna was a staged FSB job. Children are not really an Islamic focus as a norm either. Killing our kids means they know that our armed population will begin killings of their Muslim movement here in the States.
Eventually, either North Korea, Iran or Pakistan orginating nuke terror will be used on one of our cities. At that point, Mecca and Medina should be vaporized and if any traces come from Russia, an equivalent Russian city(s) should be vaporized.
Heck, that's too lenient, I say we get the U.N. to send them a warning letter.
