Hey Thats Not Cool.........

One plot apparently included an attack on the U.S. mint in Philadelphia.

Remember them finding those explosives in that locker at the Train Station in downtown Philly.....it makes sense now!

Yes, very scary stuff.

Not to make a joke of it, but al-Queda could have just waited for the lib/Dems in this state to breach the dams. They're always bucking to destroy farming in E. WA and "save the salmon." Idiots.

Keep your eyes open.

Keep your eyes open.

What is even more frightening is this is just what they have found in Afghanistan. What else is out there in the other terror states? It sure drives home the point that we have to stay heavy on offense.

Islam is peace. Could we please stop the racial profiling? Thanks.

Great post. I hate to say this but I had a dream about a dam two months ago, similar to a couple of others that came somewhat true.

If the Rats turn from their patriotic leaning, reflected last night, and start fighting defense dollars contained in the coming budget, it will be time for afterburner action.

And you know there is more accurate and up to date info held by the associated cell groups here in America.

LOL!!!!!

Absolutely !!!

More on the Canadian border matter. The terrs must have targeted Washington State, rather than say Arizona or Texas, because of lax border control and local collaborators with Canadian passports or other similar status.

What kind of RAVING IDIOT says THAT!?!?!?! Are you out of your frikkin' mind?!?!?!?! They are NOT that way!!
They are EVIL?!?!? Go back to DU you low-life!!!

Oh.......wait.........your post was sarcasm. Never mind, you are being returned to regular programming.....

[RedBloodedAmerican]

associated cell groups is not the same as associated press cell groups.

[RedBloodedAmerican]

Thanks, that felt good :)

[TheErnFormerlyKnownAsBig]

They need to blow up that ugly blob called EMP.

[Southflanknorthpawsis]

associated cell groups is not the same as associated press cell groups.

Are you sure......both wreak havoc on the citizens of this country.

[aculeus]

Bump.

What racial profiling? According to new airport security rules the screeners can stop everyone, except someone who looks like a terrorist.

This seems like a good thread to say my piece about racial profiling. Does it occur to anyone that the terrorists would ASSUME we would use racial profiling? In their countries, they would do so. Now I know they try all sorts of things, and maybe thought that their first line would be to use Middle Eastern people, counting on our ACLU etc. to aid and abet.

However, I firmly believe that there are cells in this country made up of average-appearing Americans, much like John Walker and Richard Reid. I think that is why we have so many alerts, and why we haven't simply rounded up the Arabic types. It would do no good.

If I were a terrorist organization with lots of money, I would fund all sorts of fringe groups that could be prodded into wreaking havoc. I fiind it amazingly coincidental that the violence of PETA, ELF, and others has occurred during the last 6 years. I would almost bet cash money that bin Laden or his allies provide some of their funding.

So, profiling works in SOME cases. But that nice little granny that people feel sorry for may be carrying a bomb, unknowingly. What if her grandaughter married a guy from Yemen? What if her grandson is looking both to collect an inheritance and blow up a plane?

You see what I am thinking. I think we need to be suspicious of ACTIVITY, rather than individuals, not because I am PC, but because I think if we fall into the profiling trap we might get burned, big time.
