'LONDON COULD BE NEXT MASS TERROR TARGET' - BUSH AIDE

London could be the next target for a massive attack by terrorists or a rogue state just as easily any American city, President George W Bush's national security adviser Condoleezza Rice has warned.

In an interview for The Sunday Times, Ms Rice argued that in the post-September 11 environment, Europe was just as vulnerable to attack as the United States. "We now know what happens when evil people have the means to attack you and are determined to do it. (The next target) wouldn't have to be New York or Washington.

"It could indeed be London or Berlin. And I think that is what President Bush and Prime Minister Blair both see."

She cautioned that the time had come to deal with the threat posed by Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein.

"If we aren't prepared to deal with his defiance now, will we be more prepared to deal with his violence when he is capable of delivering a nuclear weapon against either the United States or Britain? ... I would ask the question, not why now, but why later?"

Ms Rice maintained President Bush had yet to decide how to deal with Saddam, insisting he was still "reviewing all options".

On a possible role for UN inspectors, Ms Rice said Saddam had been frustrating all efforts to ensure he has disarmed for many years.

She added: "We have to ask ourselves how to get a different result this time, in terms of dealing with the threat."

Reminds me of Bruce Willis in the first Die-Hard movie saying: "Welcome to the party, pal!!!"

Excellent performance by a conservative actor. Kill the damn terrorists and yes, there is some suffering along the way.

I expect that he is as dumb as he looks. I hope he wakes up before his country gets hit.

Who was the idiot who invited Willis to the party, eventually tried to rat on him, Willis wouldn't sell out, and Hans shot the guy in the head?

"Ellis, is that you?"

Don't remember what his first name was.

I hope he DOESN'T wake up first...so they clearly get the message reality has for them.

Their wishful-thinking politics and social posturing is ephemeral, and can dissolve in an instant...just as ours did in Manhattan, on September 11th., 2001.

Welcome to the real, and dirty world, our insulated "I was on the Russian front" brothers and sisters. Time to join the Good team. You're invited...but do you have the guts?

If not...you'll probably get the chance to see them flying through the air...just like we did here. This time, they're not just going to kill your Israeli guests...they'll be coming for YOU. Wise up !

I should clarify...I consider British Euroweenieness entangled with German b.s. They are holier than thou poseurs, and sell everything we fought and horribly bled for, on their behalf...just to have a local, alternative idea to ours...from the same vanity that caused them to rip eachother's guts out twice in the last century.

Maybe we made a mistake. I'm sure their grandparents would have smothered them in their cradles if they knew they would be cowardly, devious ingrates, as these who are hesitating in their own provincial vanity are evidently doing.

But to you noble souls on your much-abused continent...we are with you and your children...to the end. That is who we are.

Sadly, you are right. He won't wake up until Berlin is on fire. I would never wish this on the Germans, but with a panty-waist like Schroder in charge they will get it bad.

I 'oppugn' Schroder. :)

It's just their turn. May it happen quickly, with minimal blood and horror.

This Earth has had enough.

Onward.

Does America speak for England or is it the other way around ? There's plenty of evidence that points to England and America being "one".

They're both pushing for world rule and it appears that some rulers don't want to tag along..........

Amusing to see in short order in the FR site:

'LONDON COULD BE NEXT MASS TERROR TARGET' - BUSH AIDE
Britain Is Put On High Alert Fo[r] Lone Terrorists
Radical {Muslim] Clerics to Celebrate [in London] on 9 / 11

Methinks were all these to come true by 9/11, by 9/12 there might be a few less radical Muslim clerics in Britain.

If You truly believe that , but want to know the rest of the story , read "Hope of the Wicked" by Ted Flynn.

Of all the books I've read , this one contains the most information and the most detail.

I could name more books but most people aren't motivated enough to invest the time it takes to find the Truth.

If You really want to know , buy the book and invest a little time.

It will change the way You look at life.........
