Perhaps now it is time to take these people seriously when they make such kind of threats.

These threats have been coming since 9/11. It's awful damn hard to believe 'em...

[Quix]

Perhaps so . . . or just whenever they think they can succeed or have the best chance of killing the most etc.

[Mossad1967]

Don't forget that OBL and his band of thugs were not taken seriously before 9/11. I for one, take him damn seroius.
I've attended to many funerals for emergency personnel.
I know for a fact that ALL emergency personnel in NYC take him seriously.

"I suggest you toughen your stance against complicit regimes."

He's doing everything possible short of a preemptive nuking. Which we can't do. Retaliatory nuking yes, preemptive no. Unlike the Islamists, the leader of the free world will follow international law.

I read an article today that Hillary has called for patrols of the skies around the nuclear power plants in New York...will try to find it.

[Codie]

God is pissed!

[MissAmericanPie]

Ain't that that the truth if I have ever heard it. Enemies on the outside, and enemies eating us away from within.

[Naspino]

I have to disagree though. Our constitution is great but written in a different time. Eventually the constitution will have to be put aside (for some people) or our nation will defeat itself. Question is should we go out in our glory or lower ourselves to defeat the evil. We lowered our security after raising it post-9/11 cause we don't have the will to live like prisoners. Short of exterminating the threat (thereby killing many innocents and lowering ourselves) what can we do except continue to suffer attacks? Each year that passes they have the opportunity to grab more weapons capable of wider damage. Perfect case is a biological attack with some future airborn virus. No way the constitution can live in its current form. It at least has to be suspended.

[Quix]

I hope so.

But I am skeptical we'll be rid of the PC junk or the liberals until

THE KING OF KINGS RETURNS IN OVERT POWER AND GLORY ESTABLISHING HIS OVERT AND VISIBLE RULE.

[#3Fan]

Could be.

[txdoda]

Nope, Rama-lama-ding-dong ends somewhere around Thanksgiving (Green Bay @ Detroit & Miami @ Dallas). I'm not sure if it's before or after.>>>>>>


LOL.....you must know my hubby.

[Jumper]

Sounds like he means these attacks will be carried out against population centers; these fools are going to attack the only places where their allies the democrats reside in large numbers. Piss off the democrats and Al Qaida will have really erred in their judgment if they think America will. Ever listen to the left in America and they ranting and raving.... Consider what this childish incoherent blood thristy bunch will demand done to those people who belong to the Religion of Peace. Wars are messy things and in every known instance of targeting during the cold war, both military and civilian populations were selected for systemic destruction. I guess once the Arabs and Americans trade a few cities, there won't be many democrats left and there won't be many Arabs except in the deserts.

[Gritty]

Kill 100,000 of us? These dumbells have it all wrong.

Instead, they should just get Dean and the Dems elected in 2004 and take control of Congress and the Senate (well, they already have control of that!). Then we'll just quit the War on Terror, extend the peacepipe, and all sing 'Kumbaya' together.

All they'll then have to do is keep moving their people in here, take over our laws and courts and eventually we will all be worshiping Allah. It's worked everyplace else!

[Quix]

YES.

They get at least fear mileage out of talking about it.

Talking about it and then carrying it out raises their stature in the eyes of teen Moslems astronomically--as well as in the eyes of lots of others.

[js1138]

I don't think they anticipated Afghanistan or Iraq. Nor will they be pleased when the Suez canal is closed. (Remember the Israeli plan for a railroad. That could be up in months.)

You should probably go register http://www.i-hate-freedom.com and setup your own forums there, because you certainly don't belong here.

>> If 100,000 Americans are killed, God forbid, I will join thousands of other Americans in making sure the internal threats remaining are deported or eliminated by other means. <<

grim bump

[Toespi]

I just don't consider this credible. Evidently Homeland Security isn't concerned because we are still on yellow. if they thought this had any legs we would be seeing all kinds of unusual activity from the government. Imagine if they knew and didn't raise the threat level and something happened, this administration would be toast.

[Naspino]

A little difficult since there are huge numbers of non-Muslims either in or around most "concentrations" of Islamics, or downwind of them.

I don't see the problem.

I take it you're in favor of killing hundreds of thousands of Christians, Hindus, etc. then? Par for the course for an armchair war criminal, though. So ... everyone involved in WWII was a war criminal? They killed innocents -- just less efficiently beause the weapons were not as advanced.

[expatguy]

Im not sure what to say really, I kinda feel sorry for my fellow Americans, who shrug these threats off and who don't understand that these people are not joking. They are serious. Very serious and very determined.

Seriously, What do you say and what do you do when a 5 megaton nuke in detonated in a U-Haul truck in the middle of New York?

Are we gonna once again gonan hunt down those responsible?

Go to war? Against who?
