The only reason why I think this not just rhetoric from the government is because they overheard two detainees at guatanamo Bay talking about NYC Landmarks being targets for an attack.

When Bush stops the lies that Isalm is peaceful the sooner we get what has to be done done!

[Eric in the Ozarks]

Get Hillary down to defend the bridge.
TO THE BARRACADES !

BUMP

[A. Morgan]

Blaming Bush for this and that... BOY, now is really going to accomplish something. NOT!

[Fulbright]

Based on what happened on September 11, this may well be a misdirection ploy. The real targeting may involve the dismemberment of the National Command Authority in the DC region or major targets on the West Coast.

In any event, a terror strike deriving from 50 years of bankrupt US foreign policy is inevitable.

NO change in the threat level, though.

[areafiftyone]

Since they are good at hitting more than one target at the same time I would say its a good possiblity that East and West Coast may be hit at the same time.

[TLBSHOW]

No one is blaming Bush. but it is Bush that says this is a peaceful religion when it isn't even a religion. It is satan itself!

I hope they have dogs at the tunnel entrances. It might hold traffic up, but there probably won't be many going into the city by car,anyway.

[princess leah]

OK - we want to know WHICH OFFICIALS ARE THE TIMES CITING as saying these things? They always hide behind generalizing unless its republican comments that they criticize then they publish first and last names!

In any event, a terror strike deriving from 50 years of bankrupt US foreign policy is inevitable...

In any event, a terror strike deriving from 1,400 years of bankrupt Islamic morality is inevitable...

[pocat]

One more attack on American soil, and Arab/Muslim blood will run in the American streets. The people have had enough of being told about "diversity" and how peaceful islam is. Although I wouldn't condone it, one more attack will be enough to push many over the edge.

Deport them now, for our safety - and theirs.

In any event, a terror strike deriving from 50 years of bankrupt US foreign policy is inevitable.

You sound like a typical talking-head liberal... and/or Pat Buchanan.

[Chad Fairbanks]

Maybe e's a Pat Buchanan/Helen Thomas Love Child????? ;0)

There was just now a story on FOXNEWS about an sting gone wrong where terrorists were let into the country and lost by INS, or something to that effect. Can anyone find the story, I don't see it on FOX's site?

[spetznaz]

On Tuesday, the State Department sent its annual report on terrorism to Congress. The report listed the same seven countries — Iran, Sudan, Libya, Iraq, North Korea, Cuba and Syria — as state sponsors of terrorism last year.

What about Pakistan? Its ISI intelligence service has been proven to assist terrorists attack India. Also as theonly Islamic nation with a nuke arsenal, and the fact it has a large base of Islamic zealots with a chip on their shoulder, don't you think it is a bigger threat than most of the nations listed above eg Sudan, Cuba, Syria, and even Libya?

?????

[spetznaz]

Actually some reports claim that if the kooks are to get weapons of mass destruction they shall either come from the Pakistanis covertly or from the Mafiya (Russian Mafia) with access to radiological material that happened to 'disappear.'
