There is no way that anyone in authority should be able to make a decision that would place ANY factor over american lives.

I wish we would. The enviro-whackos won't allow it though.

Yup. We were talking about it, trying to determine whether other attacks were preceded by a certain number of warnings.
I believe the answer was "no", at least tentatively.

How are they going to stop it? If our national economy is threatened by a chokehold on our access to foreign oil, anything they would do to interfere with drilling would be seditious.

Received this in e-mail today...
Some Facts to Remember
There were 39 combat related killings in Iraq during the month of January.
In Detroit there were 35 murders in the month of January.
That's just one American city, about as deadly as the entire war-torn country of Iraq.
When some claim President Bush shouldn't have started this war, remember the following:
FDR...
led us into World War II.
Germany never attacked us: Japan did.
From 1941-1945, 450,000 lives were lost,
an average of 112,500 per year.
Truman...
finished that war and started one in Korea,
North Korea never attacked us.
From 1950-1953, 55,000 lives were lost,
an average of 18,334 per year.
John F. Kennedy...
started the Vietnam conflict in 1962.
Vietnam never attacked us.
Johnson...
turned Vietnam into a quagmire.
Vietnam never attacked us.
From 1965-1975, 58,000 lives were lost,
an average of 5,800 per year.
Clinton...
went to war in Bosnia without UN or French consent,
Bosnia never attacked us.
He was offered Osama bin Laden's head on a platter three times by Sudan and did nothing.
Osama has attacked us on multiple occasions.
In the two years since terrorists attacked US
President Bush has ...
liberated two countries,
crushed the Taliban,
crippled al-Qaida,
put nuclear inspectors in Libya, Iran and North Korea without firing a shot, and captured a terrorist who slaughtered 300,000 of his own people.
The Democrats are complaining about how long the war is taking, but:
It took less time to take Iraq than it took Janet Reno to take the Branch Davidian compound.
That was a 51 day operation.
We've been looking for evidence of chemical weapons in Iraq for less time than it took Hillary Clinton to find her Rose Law Firm billing records.
It took less time for the 3rd Infantry Division and the Marines to destroy the Medina Republican Guard than it took Ted Kennedy to call the police after his Oldsmobile sank at Chappaquiddick, drowning Mary Jo Kopechne.
It took less time to take Iraq than it took to count the votes in Florida!
The media hopes we are too ignorant to remember these facts.
But we will remember.

I wish that was the general concensus. I don't understand why the majority our elected officials don't have this attitude and challenge the opponents of tapping our own natural resources. I understand special interest groups, but aren't we special too?

Not in an election year, we're not. While not quite a koolaid drinker, there's no WAY anyone could confuse me with being a swing vote. :)

Inquiry over 'fuel leak' airliner
A two-inch door to the fuel tank of the aircraft was found unscrewed
An investigation is under way into how a British Airways airliner took off from Heathrow Airport trailing smoke and fuel.
Air accident investigators revealed the pilot had to declare an emergency and released most of the plane's fuel over the sea before returning to land.
The incident took place on a Boeing 777 airliner, which had 151 passengers on board, on 10 June.
Investigators probing the failure described it as "serious".
The airline was heading towards Windsor when another pilot waiting to depart noticed the trail of smoke and the smell of aviation fuel.
The British Airways crew believed the plane was leaking fuel and immediately informed air traffic control of emergency.
The plane released 90,000 kilos of fuel to enable it to a safe landing back at Heathrow.
A two-inch door to the fuel tank was later found unscrewed. The screws were found hanging in a small plastic bag. (snipped)

Hanford nuclear power plant undergoes emergency shutdown
RICHLAND, Wash. -- Washington state's only commercial nuclear reactor remained out of service while technicians tried to determine why an automatic shutdown system failed to work properly Friday.
State emergency officials said there was no release of radiation and no danger to the public. It was not immediately known when the Columbia Generating Station reactor would be restarted.
The failure triggered an alert in which state agencies prepared to respond if needed to help Benton and Franklin counties near the Hanford nuclear reservation. (snipped)

I do not believe there is any record of a specific number of threats given before a strike. It has become the rule in the past several years that there are at least several threats to a specific region before any strike. I think it is is a fair assumption to believe that where there are warnings, there will be a strike... if it is not broken up, but coming up with a specific number of threats before they come to pass is impossible.

Yep. They might have performed a cost-benefit analysis...the risk is still cost-effective at this point.Especially since our betters believe they aren't the ones taking the risk...

Thanks for clarifying that. I think that the idiots will continuously spew vile messages in hopes of carrying out the big strike. I'd like to think that for every time they've made a threat, we've thwarted an attack. They just like bullying with terrible threats because it makes them feel macho. They're too stupid to plan as many attacks as we've had threats. Those who make idle threats just expose their own weakness.
