I agree 100% but will anything even close to that scenario happen? Most likely not. And the result will be more American lives.

It's all a matter of degree and limitations. My hyperbolic statement was certainly skewed to the worst case scenario. I hope we never get there. But I fear we may be closer to this vision than many believe possible.

Unfortunately, I believe that the worst case scenario is very close. The "sleepers" are all around us and they are just waiting for the order to attack.

This is one reason why I am "well prepared".

America speaks with forked tongue and faked smile while cuffing the hands of Israel

Were it not for America and its taxpayer dollars, would there even BE a secular country called Israel at this moment. Think about that.

P.S. If Israel would abandon its inefficient socialism, it could do a whale of a lot more with the resources it gets from the USA and elsewhere. Money not wasted is that much more money it can spend on guns.

According to this source "suicide attacks are regarded today in Britain and among other security services in Europe as a general threat, because the concept of martyrdom could also take hold among extreme Christian right-wing organizations, and there are already some signs of this in the United States. The concern is that Europe might be the next target for these types of attack."

This is the biggest pile of horse manure I have read in a long time. Christians aren't promised 72 virgins for killing themselves.

So, come on then Kate, condemn George Galloways remarks. I bet you don't because you are a communist, and would never condemn Galloway, a communist fellow traveller, and supporter of Saddam, and Ghadaffi etc.

[Kate22]

Ha ha.

Christians aren't promised 72 virgins for killing themselves.

Quite so. Furthermore, unless I'm much mistaken, suicide is anathema to the vast majority of Christians.

[ABrit]

See Kate, I just can't stop being right.

[ABrit]

About you and your Communism, that is.

They would be fake, because if he detonated an explosives belt, he would kill only those who symphatise with his cause.
