Warning: More Attacks , Use of Weapons of Mass Destruction, Possible

NewsMax's national security expert, Col. Stanislav Lunev, is traveling abroad.
The highest-ranking military officer ever to defect from Russia, Col. Lunev has served as a consultant to the CIA, the FBI and the Defense Intelligence Agency
He called NewsMax and gave the following analysis:
1. Last year, Col. Lunev wrote that the U.S. had been the main target of terrorist groups and the nations that support them. The actions today against the U.S. should not be surprising.
2. The successful attack today by this well organized terrorist group is the result of almost ten years of a deterioration of America's national security appaparatus -- including the emascualtion of American intelligence gathering capabilities.
3. American officials and experts have been saying the threat of an attack like this or worse has been a real one. Little or nothing was done, though many knew the threat was real.
4. What countries are involved is difficult to say. It is Col. Lunev's belief that more than one country was involved in this operation -- and perhaps several.
5. Do not forget that Russia remains the number one sponsor of training for terrorist nations. You will find the countries behind this will have very close ties to Russia's military and intelligence agencies.
6. Simple logic cannot be applied to the behavior of these terrorist groups and states. I believe that the terrorist acts conducted could be the first wave of more significant acts that could take place -- even in the next few days. Perhaps for the next 3 days there will be quiet, and then another strike, perhaps more massive than those already delivered.
7. These people are not stupid. They'll use all weapons available to them. Do not underestimate the brutality of these people. The next time, even in the next several days, do not exclude the possibilty they will use chemical, nuclear and biological weapons against America.

Well... While I tend to agree with another poster who thinks Lunev is a bit loony, I keep getting the feeling there is something more to these attacks than meets the eye.
At the very least, I'd say they're part of an orchestrated campaign to weaken U.S. resolve to support Israel - as in, "how many American lives is it worth to you Americans, to keep supporting Israel?". Worst case, they may be a diversionary tactic, preparatory to initiating full-scale conflict in the Middle East.
And if either is the case, Lunev may very well be right...
And do what? Those weren't Japanese we put in camps- those were American citizens. And yes, we have every right to pass judgement on the Russian-loving communist bastards in FDR's administration who were all for it.
And if anyone thinks they are EVER going to round up American citizens again, steal their property, or anything else unconstitutional on the basis of their heredity, they are going to have to shoot me to do it.
My grandfather's ship was the Arizona, though he had gotten out of the Navy prior to the attack. He lost his friends. He hated Japan. But he hated FDR more for doing what he did.
Since none of us are prophets of God we are never correct 100% of the time.
Imagine that you started writing what you knew to be coming up in the next few months and then published it on the internet. You would then be put to such scrutiny that you would desire to stop. Unless you were writing from 1st had experience.
The good Col. has written with such good insight that I personally look for his columns everytime they come up.
If I am not mistaken, Geneen of ITT, years ago had a man sitting in an office with his feet up and his arms behind his head with his eyes closed.
A visitor asked, "What does he do?"
Geneen said he is an idea man. He may have 100 bad ideas and then one great one. His good ideas are so good it is worth going through 100 bad ones.
This article details the fact that Islam is a religion of death and is based on ignorance, fear, and barbarism to achiweve its end. Just facts, Sir
By the way, it is not a Jewish article.
To be cynical is to ignore truth.
Yesterday morning (9/18/01) on MSNBC (or was it Fox News, yes, I think it was Fox), Ollie North, former Deputy National Security Advoisor at the Reagan White House, said he was watching some "terorism experts" the previous evening on "another Network", --- (at which point, he sarcastically defined an "expert" as "Someone who once read a book on terrorism")--- as discussing "feelings" of children and worrying about suitcase nukes, bio-weapons, and chemical warfare: Olie said, in effect:
"Look, Osama bin Laden gave it his best shot, and used up precious and scarce resources 19 of his best men, who were willing to die for his cause (a very rare, very scarce resource) and he doesn't ahve any more big guns.
"Yes, (I am closely paraphrasing, here), there are "student cells" on "American campuses", in the United States, and there are dummy corporations where much lower level "terrorist" talent will form a "dummy corporation" e.g., to "buy some trucks" and "fill them up with fertilizer" & other explosive substances, a la the OKC bombing, but the "BEST Shot" was already delivered by bin Laden in the coordinated attack on the WTC, the Pentagon and the apparent attempt at the White House, per Col. North.
In summary, Ollie thinks liberals and touchy-feely types who don't know much about terrorism are panicking and causing others to do the same.
I am sure Ollie is still advocating EXTERMINATING Osama and other terrorists(!),
but he was just trying to put what HE perceived the risks as in perspective.
Remember:
These were Ollie's views,
--- second hand at that, ---
as I understood them, not mine, since I am NOT an expert on terrorism!
