Do not underestimate terror incidents in places like shopping malls etc. They are designed to instill fear in people and this can lead to the destruction of the US economy. Imagine if people were afraid to go into stores to shop ? This is exactly why we need an armed citizenry.

Bio is very easy, especially with a suicide volunteer who is willing to travel to the US aboard a commercial aircraft and fly airlines internally until he becomes so sick he is no longer ambulatory.
Airliners, subways, trains simply are big petri dishes, and with our hub-and-spoke airlines system, freshly contaminated people spread it over and over again.
And if you move into the area of weaponized viruses, it gets 100 times worse.
Suggest reading “The Cobra Event.” It is fiction, but written by an expert on Ebola, Rift and other hemorrhagic diseases.
The terrorism threat to the United States during the next five years will be driven by:
An inexperienced community organizer as the leader of the free world and feckless, spineless congressional morons who would much rather hold hands with our enemies and sing koom bia ya than carry a big stick
The brilliance of AP writers always leaves me breathless.....

We had better step up research and production of defensive anti missle technology fast. Oh, thats right, I forgot - spending all this money is just a waste... the democrats told us so. Good thing theyr'e in office now.
“Today I signed an executive order stating that any further terrorist attacks by muslims on America, will be met by the total nuclear destruction of mecca and medina... without hesitation. Any nation retaliating for such an attack will also he destroyed".

But..but...but the Commie ‘RATS said that the whole world would like us again if we elected the black guy!
There is absolutely no biological weapon ever created that is a worse threat to the US than a “killer influenza”. Since the Spanish flu terrified America in 1918, medical authorities knew it was only a matter of time before a killer flu would return again. It is usually cyclic, and we are very past due for one.
No other disease even comes close in lethality. Right now, there is a candidate for the next killer flu that is from hell itself, H5N1, the Avian flu.
Typically, a normal flu kills between 30,000 and 50,000 Americans each and every year. A bad flu could kill as many as 100,000. But that is nothing compared to a killer flu.
The Spanish flu killed between 2.5% and 5% of the world’s population. 20% of the world’s population caught the disease. All told, it may have killed more people than the black plague.
And of those 1 in 5 who caught the disease, 1 in 5 of them died. A mortality *rate* of about 20%
America had a population at the time of about 50 million people. Between 300,000 and 3,000,000 died.
If the Spanish flu had hit today, 300,000,000 people would die.
H5N1, the Avian flu, has a mortality *rate* of 60%.
If 1 in 5 people in the world caught the disease, at that mortality rate, 720,000,000 people would die in the world.
America now has a population of over 330,000,000. If 1 in 5 Americans caught the disease, almost 40,000,000 Americans will die.
40 million Americans would die.
That would be every person in America’s top 40 largest cities.
If Obama under-reponds to terrorism, actual of threatened, he will be setting himself up for one term only.
Jimmah Carter got thumped for being a wimp with Iran, more than any other factor.
IMO.
