They don't need to pull another 9/11 .....all the have to do is turn loose a 3 man sniper team in a major metro area....
Notice how people aren't going out in the DC area...afraid to even pump their own gas......imagine if this keeps up for say another 3 weeks.....they will wreck the local economy.
BTW .....wrecking the local economy is what this is all about.
Do you live in the DC area? I do, and I've been out and about all weekend, campaigning in Montgomery and Howard Counties, no less. I haven't noticed significantly less people outside. I think you've been watching too much cable news.
As far as "wrecking" the local economy, that would only happen if tourists buy into the media hype and cancel their travel plans.
You're a thousand times more likely to get killed by one of the many local bad drivers than you are of being within 5 miles of getting shot by this sniper.
