Attorney General Ashcroft news conference alerting that there may be addtional terrorist attacks this week.

Would you feel better if it was a siren screeming off the top of your local school?

Just because they warn us, doesnt mean nothing will happen.

Possibly the Holloween warning stuff just to reinforce the threat-they dont have to do much,just plant the seed,to our enemies best friends, the media, and they'll do the rest for them. No bomb just a phone call!

Sorry George, but a "blue moon" occurs once every year. There are 13 full moons per year, one every 28 days.

For most of the USA, this Wednesday night is not only a full-moon but a BLUE MOON, second full moon in the same month.

This happens maybe once every 30 years.

Do the math. A blue moon is a second moon in one month. A lunar cycle is 28 days. Divide 365 days by 28 and you get just over 13. Ergo, a blue moon happens about once a year.

I am not complaining that they are reporting things that may help stop these attacks. I in fact just responded in another thread. http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/fr/559305/posts?page=11 that even if the government was lying about this, if it helped to prevent attacks then I would be all for it. I am just speaking from a perspective of a lot of Americans. Not my own opinion.

Can someone tell me how feasible the following scenarios are?

-- A cropduster plane loaded with explosives, launches from a location near Yankee Stadium. Crashes into the infield as Bush is throwing out the first pitch. Kills others as well (how many)?

-- Terrorists with Stinger(?) missiles shoot down planes taking off/landing at airports, at several airports simultaneously (thus fulfilling Osama's threat of airplanes falling from the sky)

-- An undetected anthrax release near Yankee Stadium, upwind of it where the winds will carry spores over and into the stadium

-- A radiological bomb is detonated upwind of Yankee Stadium, poisoning thousands and killing an unknown amount of people

These are the kinds of things I imagine happening. Any opinions on how feasible these attacks would be?

Don't get silly here oK?

A blue moon is the second full moon in a given calender month. The moon is full every twenty-eight days, while calender months are anywhere from 28 to 31 days. Blue moons are rare, but not every-thirty-years. On the other hand, there is not one every month.

From a "dumb white woman out west"...

You are an idiot. And there are hundreds of thousands of middle eastern people here. Two of the hijackers lived right here in San Diego.

Go crawl back under your rock in Medford.

I am sure that Bob Woodward, should he get on a plane, would be scanning up and down the ailes for Right Wing Extremists.

I'm sure if I got on a plane I would be scanning for Left Wing Extremist Bob Woodward! ;)

"Race, Ashcroft looked absolutely terrified. His face was ghost white, maybe its my T.V. I just think he looked really bad.

Maybe your tipster the other day was speaking because he knows something."

Absolutly. Something has really rattled his cage. Washington DC is under biological attack and all the politicians can do is pass a terrorist bill giving further power to inept federalies. The terrorists have scored a major win with passage of the terrorist bill. A massive military response may be the only option to preserve the Constitution.

I was in Yankee Stadium twice in the last 2 weeks, the police helicopters were every where

If he backs out of the game now, it won't send a very good message.

Who cares? He should not go. Period. It's too risky. After what they've announced, it would be irreponsible to let him go. DON'T GO GWB! BACK OUT!

[Gimme]

"How does something 'sound nuclear'?"

Because they didn't say an army of small pox ridden folks was gonna come from Canada and Mexico to visit.. We already have the anthrax.. so what's left?

[Mr.E]

What a thread!! I am under a table typing next to Bernie Shaw.

The Media is all trying to hold there market share and their Jobs.. No War no Jobs.. They are pumping as fast as they can.

I wonder if there will be anyone in the malls on Halloween? Good day to start and finish Christmas shopping in an hour.

[imjustme]

I think you have been watching to many cartoons. ;)

Seriously I wouldn't put anything past them and I feel they are without fear (suicide missions).

[null and void]

I'd feel better if I knew more. I already have antibiotics, a basement, and a shotgun!
