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

NewsMax.com

Tuesday, September 11, 2001

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.

Wrong. Way past time.

Wow, you have a time machine? When do we leave for the past?

[ValerieUSA]

There is no coincidence - this a planned attack full of symbolism and purpose.

How can anyone call himself a "terrorism expert" today or go on TV or the radio and act like he knows a damn thing? If he had a sense of the real threat of terrorism in this world, he should have been on TV YESTERDAY! I'm sick of these nincumpoop experts and liars on the airwaves.

[ValerieUSA]

golitely talks big now, but his own words on other threads from before today prove him to be an anti-American Arab apologist. Pack your little bag and move along, golitely, but don't delay your departure.

MEGGA-DITTO-BUMP!

I noticed that Fox News is refusing to show footage of the PEOPLE in the aftermath of the towers being hit. They say it's not the kind of thing they should show. I have been watching the Mexican stations all day and they ARE showing it, the people jumping and ALL OF IT. I think all the networks should show it so all the brain-washed liberals in this country can have a wake-up call. Showing the buildings falling doesn't really give a picture of the PEOPLE who were destroyed. Kudos to all the Spanish-speaking stations.

I'm torn on this. Earlier today I thought maybe they shouldn't show any of it. Yes people need to know what's going on, BUT it gives the countries responsible the ability to see it too, and to cheer each and every time they see it. I don't like the idea that we are giving them this opportunity to see what their wrath has wrought. I don't want them to have this satisfaction.

Its a toss up, I guess.

[Alberta's Child]

He's a moron because he has been making vague, cryptic predictions for years that could just as easily have applied to a car accident involving Indian and Pakistani cab drivers.

[Alberta's Child]

Trial lawyers will not be the first to find fault. The insurance companies that will be paying out claims that may run into ten figures will do the job first.

[Enough is ENOUGH]

All terrorist in U.S. jails should be considered POW's and summarily executed in their cells.

The people who allowed the deterioration of our national security and intelligence operations should be rounded up and arrested as enemies of the state.

The senators and reps who voted against security measures should be forced to resign and subjected to further review for treason.

Damn, I am totally outraged. We could have done something to be more prepared through our intelligence operations. But no, we allow part of our security to move miles away from the pentagon and this move was finalized during the last month under the Bush Administration.

A nuclear response is imminent......hang on

[Backlash042]

To Hell WIth FEMA I say we instead empower the CRUISE Agency and Send some "Specials" to The Afghanies! Now that's what I'm talkin about! >:-) BTW, your name sums up my current feelings just nicely!

[A Citizen Reporter]

"Today's attacks once again conveniently saved Clinton.

Ashcroft was ordered to turn over all the evidence on criminal investigations on Clinton today to Congress.

The attacks diverted the American people's attention from it, and subverted Congress from enforcing it."

Good God in heaven. This country has just experienced it's worst attack in history. And you have the utter gall to post this tripe? You are dispicable........

[George W. Bush]

I'm thinken that Hillary and Billy Clintoon are behind this as well as maybe Gary Condit so as to get the heat off the congressmans butt! No, I don't think so. Our liberal friends instead kill by the millions, at least by the hundreds of thousands, and never so openly. And they only promote the death of their victims if the survivors will subsequently become a reliable voting bloc.

[68-69TonkinGulfYachtClub]

God, Please Bless America and guide and help unite our nation in this troubled time.
Please Welcome Home those who have lost their lives today.
Please comfort those who lost their family members and friends.
Please bless and comfort those who are injured.
Please bless and protect those who are helping the injured.

Now is the time for ALL Americans to UNITE and stand behind President Bush!

Please save the politics for another time!

[George W. Bush]

I have been watching the Mexican stations all day and they ARE showing it, the people jumping and ALL OF IT. I think all the networks should show it so all the brain-washed liberals in this country can have a wake-up call. They'd also provide a searing memory for children whose parents worked on those upper floors of WTC. Not to mention parents, friends, etc.

How would you like to wonder for the rest of your life if it was your own mother or father or child who you saw jump from that building?

I grasp what you mean about a wake-up call for liberals. But they're brain-dead anyway. I don't think this will wake them up after everything other graphic horror has failed.

I hope we continue to spare the loved ones of the victims.

[chaffer2]

These are soul-less barbarians who teach their children
that suicide and the murder of innocent people propels
them into paradise.

We may be an imperfect people, but these vile creatures
are demonic. This day will change us forever.

[Ben Ficklin]

Re your # 2.

James Baker, in an interview today, said much the same. He pointed to the increased use of technology and the decreased use of "down & dirty", "on the ground" inteligence gathering.

He attributed this shift in intelligence gathering to the Church Committee.

[cinFLA]

. I'm pretty hawkish about liberties and the increasing lack of them. But under circumstances like the present, it is a fact that we will lose some of them.

And none of the restrictions would have prevented or can prevent the type of terrorism we witnessed today.

[realwoman]

When I first read your response, I kind of agreed with you. But then I thought about it for a minute. Yes, the children of those people will wonder, and it will be HELL for them. But, we HAVE to remember ALL of it or we'll just puss-out again!

[jimmy bob's uncle]

Have you ever been in a street fight? Fights happen. This -- what's happening around us -- is a real life, large scale version of a fight. We -- as a country -- have the same options as a citizen confronted with street violence. We can refuse to admit it and refuse to fight and let the scum beat us up. We can attempt some kind of proportional response and just try to keep ourselves from getting hurt. Or we can strike out with all the force we can muster and put an end to the situation by eliminating our attacker's ability to attack.

I understand that fights happen, the world is a dangerous place. And I don't believe in letting scum beat us up. But if we want real security in the future, we must have a dual attitude. Our attitude must first be, we're big, we're bad, we're American...and if you screw with us, we'll tear you apart! The second part though, is equally important...and it is, if you leave us alone, we'll return the favor! Without the second bit, we're just a great big bully. We're the guy running around picking fights! Should we be surprised when someone takes us up on it?

We've gotten ourselves into this mess, and we have to pull ourselves out. Part of that has to be a response against whoever has done this. But, if we don't also change our attitude toward the rest of the world, then I think our security will continue to decrease, not increase, into the future.

[Nature Leseul]

The terror of today is the direct result of the loose immigration policy that has allowed thousands of Islamic militants to enter this country. Rid us of Arab and moslem immigrants NOW!

Great. Even better, why don't we just round them all up and put them in camps? After all, if it saves just one child...
