In previous statements, they have repeatedly indicated that attacks would be coming very soon. The truth is that if they had the ability to attack as they please, there would be a September 11 every day until America surrendered. However, America is a tough and frightening adversary for the terrorists, especially after what U.S. and allied forces did in liberating Afghanistan. We may have a few bad days ahead, but their side isn't getting stronger, and has many and worse days ahead.

Although midevil butchers, they are very cunning in their “craft”.
Refineries, powerplants, malls, hospitals, pipelines, they're all here... you name'em we got'em!
The main duty of our government, directed by our Constitution, is to provide for the common defence.

When the Israeli Olympic Team was targeted, it should have been the wake-up call.
When the Achille Lauro incident happened, it should have been the wake-up call.
When the WTC was hit the first time, it should have been the wake-up call.
When the USS Cole was hit, it should have been the wake-up call.
We are not dealing with an autonimous state.
We are dealing with a fanatical religious jihad that moves at will from nation to nation, state to state.
Close to 70% of all Palestinians condone the terrorist attacks in Israel. On 9/11, they cheered when the twin towers came down.
We have millions of muslims in the US and I bet that 50% of them feel the same way.
