Is this what the liberals are waiting for?!

[RoughDobermann]

They won't change their minds until confronted, personally, with a very painful death... Then again, maybe not even then.

[abnegation]

Nope, h*ll has not frozen over yet.

Also, UAVs are fairly difficult to knock out unless you have a very dedicated effort. I'm not certain, but I believe the best weapon system against a UAV is an attack helicopter.

Is this what the liberals are waiting for?!

Nothing will convince them. If terrorists attack they will argue that we deserved it.

[pfflier]

Well, the bright side of this is that the liberal bastions supporting the obstructionist tactics on Iraq are the targets.

They may be dead useless idiots.

[Russell Scott]

Boo alert.

[Samurai_Jack]

This will not convince the liberals...

If such a thing were to occur and thousands of people were to suffer they would blame Mr Bush for not securing the borders. Simultaneously, they would complain because of Racial Profiling and demand multicultural treatment for Islamists.

So I hope you arent holding your breath waiting for liberals to 'come around'. It will not happen.

This is a very real threat and shouldn't be taken lightly.

Saddam Hussein would love to take credit for any type of homeland attack against the USA.

"These technologies are not terribly well proven," F. Whitten Peters, a former Air Force Secretary, told Fox News, referring to vehicles that can be used to disperse harmful agents.

Remote control and aerosol spraying are not well proven? Good grief. These things could be assembled and launched from a tiny stretch of quiet road almost anywhere, then controlled by a person in a trailing car. Scary.

They will just say we pushed them to it.

Is this what the liberals are waiting for?!

Not quite. They want to see one of these "baby milk sprayers" in action over a town like Cincinatti so they can blame it on Bush.

"These technologies are not terribly well proven," F. Whitten Peters, a former Air Force Secretary, told Fox News, referring to vehicles that can be used to disperse harmful agents.

Make 100 teams of 3 agents (Iraqi or AQ), give them 100,000 or even 500,000 dollars and 5 litres of anthrax. Each team builds 5 devices (for about 10K each) and keeps them in a safe house (300,000 dollars for property and food).

We invade Iraq and 100 teams launch 5 of these puppies with a litre of anthrax in each from a rural area.

Even with 10% success rate SH's teams have just hit 50 cities with a litre of anthrax EACH for 50 million dollars in weapons deployment costs.

Don't say it can't be done.

[sam_paine]

Distribute 12 ga shells, 000 buckshot, full-bore choke.

Might recommend a mask in case you hit the little bugger, but better than spraying your entire city with Saddammabugs, eh.

[knak]

So what would one of these things look like?

[rintense]

Nope. Over on Sheryl Crow's forum, folks are agreeing with the Washington Post article about the emerging world view that Bush is a greater threat than Saddam.

[witnesstothefall]

New York is full of liberals that have already forgotten and dismissed 9/11 as an abberation wholly attributable to GWB.

There is absolutely zero chance of this type of attack against an American city. If US intelligence is seriously concerned about this Islamic entente airborne assault scenario then the West is in some real trouble now.

In a 1995 issue of Albania Briefings Mr D publishing one of the first pictures of a US Predator drone as it based from Gjader, Albania to conduct reconnaissance against Bosnian Serb mobile forces during the Bosnian war. Iraqi drones much less sophisticated now than even those early US models. Launching such an attack would be impossible for a team of Islamic entente sappers in the US.

Much more likely is a Kamikaze style wave of hundreds of drones being launched against US troop buildups in Kuwait. Armed with chemical weapons, only a handful of these getting through would put the US into a real jam. Current air-defence systems in place are not calibrated for such slow moving targets -- what is needed of course are scores of the old Quad fifties to negate this threat in theatre...

Iraqi drones attacking the US mainland? Someone needs to double check and make sure this isn't an early April 1st hoax...

The forces of freedom on the move. Europe trembles.

[marvlus]

But some experts say that even if the UAVs do get assembled for use in the United States, the chances that they could cause widespread damage are low.

Not if there's a swarm of them!!
