I don't know what to think anymore... Originally, I was trying to play down the dates and time period upcoming, but like late 2003... events all seem to be falling into place. Of course, nothing happened in late 2003/early 2004, so that time might not have really meant anything either.
I will say that as soon as I heard Zawahri had a new message, my thoughts became more open once again. There are now numerous signs that the upcoming days/weeks could be a real target for al Qaida.
With every tic of the clock we are closer to an attack of somekind. Do they have enough confidence in their capabilities here to attack here, or will they try to stay within a more relatively 'safe' zone and attack American foreign interests? The fact that Zawahri is coming out with a video so closely to the June and clothing differences plus the time difference from 9/11 have me on edge. Lull the Americans into a false sense of security and strike. I am more concerned with a conventional series of attacks than I am a nuke. They pull that genie out of the bottle, it'll be hard to put it back.
Re: "...nothing happened in late 2003..."
Don't confuse poor prediction with successful prevention.
