That's why we are still on Orange Alert.

Letter bombs in Italy, suicide bombers try to assassinate the President of Pakistan....how do we keep the maniacs down?

Christmas Eve, Christmas, New Years Eve, New Years, MLK Day, Valentines's Day, President's Day, Easter, 1st Day of Spring, April Fool's Day, Mother's Day, Memorial Day, Father's Day, 1st Day of Summer, July 4th, Labor Day, 9/11, 1st Day of Fall, Columbus Day, Halloween, Veteran's Day, Thanksgiving Day, 1st Day of Winter, yada, yada, yada ...

First it was fear of a 9/11 repeat in Sept, then the fear of a Thanksgiving attack, of course we moved right on to the fear of the Xmas attack...closely followed by the fear of the New Years attack...whats next? A fear of a Washingtons birthday attack?

If there is going to be another attack, in a likelihood its going to happen on a completely mundane, ordinary day just like 9/11 used to be. The govt not doing us any favours with all these stupid warnings.

"Fears"..?...nah...we're just braced for WAR.

The word "Terrorist" is wishful thinking on the part of some two-bit thugs.

May have worked where they live...but it does not hold any weight here.

[what's up]

New Year's Eve is likely a day the terrorists will target. I remember when Clinton was in office, they came real close to succeeding on New Year's Eve (I think it was Times Square?) They were caught coming across the border, I think in Washington State, but I imagine they will pick up the pieces of that plan and try again.

I still don't believe the threat is real. Otherwise they would be doing more to seal the borders and stop the thousands of people that cross into the U.S. illegally everyday.

[Malsua]

I imagine the France flights that were halted, the Venezualian Pilots that were denied visas and the recent "visitors" denied entrance were all part of a larger plot to harm us.

I suspect there are those that got through. I suspect we might see some things here and there. I can't imagine a "death strike" that AQ has intimated at.

In any event, there's one thing to consider. AQ is a one trick pony. They do a coordinated event and it takes them 2 years to do another one. Unless of course there's a nuke involved. You don't nuke a country with several thousands nukes. I can envision appropriate targets(NW pakistan, parts of sympathetic Yemen, etc)

And on and on and on! Personally I think it'll be during the Ides of March.

I don't fear jack poop...I travel the world and am going to continue to....

New Year's is basically a secular holiday. The time to strike the "crusaders" was on Christmas, a "crusader" holiday (holy day) in the true sense.

It seems our enemy is too weak these days to do anything more than blow himself up in Baghdad.
