As mentioned before, if AQ doesn't pull the trigger soon,the US may capture all the militants. Wouldn't that be too bad /sarcasm. As time moves on, I think that it is less likely that anything will occur in the US. If there is activity on the US shores, it would only be Oklahoma type bombings at the most - no nukes.

BRUSSELS, Belgium - A huge explosion at a gas works near Brussels killed 10 people Friday, authorities said.
The explosion in the industrial area of Ghislenghien, about 20 miles southeast of Brussels, was felt several miles away, authorities told Belgian media. Residents were advised to stay indoors with windows shut, but no evacuation was ordered and no evidence of toxic fumes.

The cause of the blast wasn't immediately known. The E429 motorway through the area was closed in both directions.

Jean-Jacques Perrin, police inspector in nearby Ath, told the Belgian news agency Belga that at least 10 people died and others were injured.

What on earth could possibly lead you to this conclusion? Every scrap of information gathered here and endlessly analyzed by those of us here points to the exact opposite. Did you look at the awesome compilations posted by fluters and Godzilla? The sheeple can be forgiven their ignorance of the gravity of our situation because they are not seeing what we're seeing.

True, the nuke scenario is a very worst case nightmare, so we'll leave it on a back burner just for the sake of conversation. How about 100 simultaneous Oklahoma City style bombings coupled with 100....heck even 50......911 hijackings on critical infrastructure targets? I'd say thats as bad as or worse than one or more nukes, wouldn't you agree, tmp02? Given recent Border Patrol stats on the numbers of ME flowing into the country since 911 and even prior, they have more than enough personnel inside our borders to make even those figures seem small.

I mean, you sorta make it sound like: Well, summer's over, there have been no major attacks...so let's close up shop and go home!
