Details emerged about an alleged plot to attack the city’s subways with bombs hidden in bags and possibly baby strollers as local and federal officials jostled over the credibility of the threat.
A Department of Homeland Security memo obtained by The Associated Press said the attack was reportedly scheduled to take place on or around Sunday, with terrorists using timed or remote-controlled explosives hidden in briefcases, suitcases or in or under strollers.
The memo said that the department had received information indicating the attack might be carried out by “a team of terrorist operatives, some of whom may travel or who may be in the New York City area.”

Deffinately a ZOT!
You betcha.
I have a question. Were you expecting these things to happen--the lopping off of heads, etc.?
Sleeper ZOT.
iagreewithyou ... well then, you're an idiot.
OOPSIE! You outed yourself. Bye bye. Thanks for playing.
" Isnt it true if we fight them there, they would not come here ?"
Wow, you're right, let's pull out and the world will be full of love and happiness. And we can put Mr. Goodguy Sadaan back in power. I heard from a reliable source (Sean Penn) that before we went to Iraq it was a happy place. In 2003 he said "Last year I went to Iraq. Before Team America showed up, it was a happy place. They had flowery meadows and rainbow skies, and rivers made of chocolate, where the children danced and laughed and played with gumdrop smiles. "
They've been here for years, and arrived long before Bush became president.
Well, here's the problem: Nancy Pelosi clearly said in her rebuttal to the President's speech that there are no terrorists in Iraq...guess they all came over here. (end/sarcasm)
Think about what you are saying. Analyze it. Then get back with a less asinine post.
hmmm, do you have inside info? Are you a, "the Bush cabal probably generated the memo to take the focus off Rove and Delay" DUer?
I guess you won't be answering, you got yourself banned.
What a shame, really.
Getting back to the headline, "around" Sunday-yes."On" a Sunday-not their style.To maximize casualties I think you pick a work day.
A target date of sunday impairs the credibility of the
threat. Vastly fewer people ride the NYC rails that day.
> why are we having plots in New York when we are
> fighting terrorism in the middle east ?
For the same reason we had plots against NYC *BEFORE*
we were fighting the Cutthroat Cult in the middle east.
> Isnt it true if we fight them there, they would not
> come here ?
No, just fewer of them. If we don't fight them there,
they will take that as weakness and REALLY bring jihad
here. That's why the WTCs came down. Clinton executed
the Democrat counter-terror strategy and bin Laden took
that as an invitation. Clinton is STILL executing that
strategy, with his treacherous opining that we can't win
in Iraq.
We are at war dude. We don't have the choice to end it
by walking away. The only choices are defeat or victory.
In spite of the left's constant effort to undermine the war on terror you had better hope and pray that W. succeeds. After Sharia in the U.S. (if your efforts succeed) the Libs will be the first to be exterminated by the Islamo-facists!
Hollywood = Ghost town
Michael Moore = exterminated
MSM = killed or imprisoned (will make Abu Ghraib look like paradise)
Womens' Lib = Slavery like you've never imagined
Can't you useful idiot Libs understand what's at stake here?
If you succeed I hope for your sake that your wives and daughters look good in Burkhas and that you enjoy watching them gang-raped!
Our willingness to stand and die in Iraq is precisely the reason we have not been attacked in four years. The jihadis miscalculated, and there is nothing to gain for them but further dire consequences from a repeat of 9-11.
As a matter of fact, the only reason we are still in danger of attack is that half our country is still capable of asking a question like that.
I think iagreewithyou has been suspended from FR
We used to have some regular heavy duty trolls, some of whom were kept around as pets (sort of), and disruptors. Since FR has come up more on the national radar screen, we seem to have a constant parade of the stupid and vile ones. Lot's are re-treads who sign back up, but the mods usually get them by IP address. This latest crop out themselves pretty quick.
"We have to fight them over there so we don't have to fight them here."
For further clarification only a moron would take that literally. We had more attacks before we went there and the attacks in this country have clearly decreased.
