That's ok. We'll get something out here but my money is still on Whidbey. Somehow I just think it's the place to be targeted if they're going to hit us out here. And I still wish I knew what the heck that truck thing was all about, cause it was sure about something and they weren't reporting it. If you check the Whidbey news they are reporting all kinds of incidents to the police there on a regular basis, arabs seen videotaping, etc. Course no one ever thinks it is meaningful, but how many Arabs have you seen videotaping? Me, none. Oak Harbor is not the place to be living right now, and I have dear friends who live there. Keep them in your prayers.
Anyway, second choice is Bremerton. Third is West Seattle. All those Little Somalia peoples out there. Stay over here and we should be ok. That's my feeling.

I agree about Bremerton & Whidbey, as some of the ships & planes that kicked their behinds in Op. Enduring Freedom are based there. But why West Seattle? The only thing I can think of is, if they nuked Bremerton we'd be exposed across the water, although we're far enough away that it wouldn't be significant unless it's a big boomer. OTOH, Western West Seattle is protected by a ridge from any explosions that would occur downtown or on the Eastside. (Just like we're "protected" from just about all local FM radio stations!)

W. Seattle is just a bedroom community. There aren't even any hospitals here. I'm finding it hard to think up a juicy target for a Muslim wacko. Maybe the W. Seattle Bridge.

Well, I'm down here in Pierce County. Bremerton does seem like a possiblity. Ft. Lewis and McChord are probably not likely as they are both pretty secure. Whidbey is a scary thought- husband's grandparents live in Oak Harbor.

My husband and I were just discussing how many more obviously Muslim people we've noticed since 9/11. It could be that we're more perceptive, now, but I don't think that's it. Has anyone else up here noticed more of them than there used to be?

I was suggesting to my husband that Whidbey might be a target when I heard that they had SAMs. He didn't think it would be a big enough target because we were thinking individual planes. I still think it is a possibility.

I thought that maybe they would hit a ship in Bremerton and then the planes as they took off to respond.
