Threat Matrix: Daily Terror Threat - Thread Sixteen
Yahoo ^ | 8-02-04 | AP

The title refers to a daily report given to the president of the United States detailing the most serious terrorist threats against the country. To tackle those threats, the government has formed a top-notch task force to infiltrate the terror cells and cut off the danger.

"Every morning, the president receives a list of the top ten terrorist threats - this list is known as the threat matrix."

We here at FR are trying to be in conjunction with the daily reports around the world that involve threats. We try to provide a storehouse of information that takes hours of research.

YOU be the Judge and get informed.

Police Secure Businesses on Terror Alert
NEW YORK - Police searched trucks, blocked streets and posted machine-gun toting officers outside financial landmarks Monday, a day after the government's chilling warning that terrorists might target the buildings with bombs.

It is a cleaner and rust preventative for guns. Nothing terrorist related. Just a gun joke.

Both together wouldn't be enough to bring us to our knees, militarily anyway. The bullets still exist.

Actually, they don't. The war has greatly depleted O/H supplies and we may be forced to contract for ammo and munitions using overseas sources. Couple that with the fact that our logistical "tail" is way bigger than our capacity to bite. For every trigger puller in the field there's a group of folks responsible for making sure he has communications, ability to move (either across the street or across the globe) and able to eat and stay healthy. Paralyze the tail and the teeth can't bite.

That's why it's always preferable to wound the enemy than kill him (so goes the reasoning behind adopting the 5.56mm over the far more efficient 7.62x51) so as to force that group to work and overwork until the system folds and they stop. Why do you think we put so much effort into cutting the "Ho Chi Minh Trail?" Cut the supply lines, you stop the troops.

I should have been explicit. I meant the BIG bullets. The MAD bullets.

Ah! I forgot. Your specialty. You mentioned the BIG bullets overseas, like those planted in Ivan's backyard. Are we sure they still work? Will those in places like the Ukraine dance to a tune played in Moscow?

I don't know SQUAT about planted weapons.

I was thinking of our response system. I've got it in my head that this is going to be bigger than we're considering, and from sources we might not expect.

"That would put them into a situation requiring a protracted and vulnerable logistics "tail."(ExSoldier)

Not if they are suicidal and in large numbers, say 500 to a squad, all willing to die in the operation. They come in heavy and attack hard until they are overwhelmed. I'd say if a 500 man squad overtook my town, there would be much chaos before order was restored.

The logistics tail of AQ has been laying up supplies here for a decade atleast. A suicidal soldier does not need re-supply either, he just goes out with what he's got on him and does his damage.

Just some thoughts on the fifth column that's here already. I'm ready for them.

More information from Khan's computer showed 10 NY sights:

Suspect arrested in Pakistan may hold al-Qaeda's secrets

Sunday August 8, 2004

(snip) Although it seemed that the research had all been done in 2000 or 2001, at least one of the files on the computer had been opened in January. Nor were documents found on the computer limited to the five buildings. Buildings in other cities, including San Francisco, were mentioned. At least 10 sites in New York alone were found on the computer. In all, there were 500 photographs, drawings and diagrams. Some of them showed underground garages.

According to Pakistani officials, there was also evidence of preparations for an attack on Heathrow by British-based activists. There were photographs of terminal buildings and the refuelling centre, as well as of tunnels used by passengers and freight companies. Precise measurements of roads, buildings and underpasses had been recorded. Intelligence sources elsewhere in the region told The Observer last week that the reports had included surveys of underground parking lots so detailed that the gradient of the ramps had been noted. (snipped)

500 guys isn't a squad....it's a battalion. 500 ME all together in an aggressive acting group is on a guaranteed suicide mission, before they reach their targets. Even in a high gun control area like DC or Boston, the Boyz in da Hood would cut 'em to pieces!

These idiots have no idea what they would set in motion if they were to try multiple mass casualty strikes. They would likely have signed the death warrants of most of the people they know.

You perceive accurately.

But they do not care. It's all for Satan...ahh I mean...allah.

Thanks for the two news stories. If Iraq wants to close the borders, I'm all for it. We should support them in any way possible.

AQ has once again proven how thoroughly the study.

Remember this:

On September 11th, 2001, the WTC targeting info was 4 years old.

The white supremacy movement is not about race. That is just a cover. They are extreme leftists, not right-wing radicals. And they despise our country.

I have researched them for years.

I hope the jihadis read the consequences in your post at #3097. I worry about those few hours they cause chaos, but no doubt they'll be "mopped up" quickly once revealed.

You're welcome. It seems like postive and highly-visible events are increasing in frequency in favor of the good guys. Is this the time we need to be hyper-sensitive to attack because the bad guys are being backed into a corner?

I haven't figured out how to post pictures, but the pictures of the olympic stadium remind me of one of the pictures I saw with a plane flying into it. It wasn't the sketch, but maybe it was a photo. Anyway, can anyone post the pictures at this site if they look relevant? Thanks.
