An al Qaeda suspect in custody in Belgium told American investigators he saw members of the terror organization training snipers in preparation for attacks on U.S. soil, a source told The Post last night.

One of the planned attacks targeted U.S. senators on a golf course.

So use the media to steer the perps...
It seems the perps may be trying to steer the police, too. Like the witness who made the false account. I think there may be some credibility to this 3-man sniper team story, one to shoot, one to drive, one to give misleading information...

Are sniper investigators using the media to talk to a serial killer?

"If the government of the people will not protect the people, the people should and will, protect themselves. "

This is a simple truth that will not change. Another simple truth is that a government unwilling or unable to protect it's own citizens doesn't have long to last. There are serious geopolitical side-effects to this current situation (since 9-11 and beyond) that too many are trying to sweep under the rug or avoid altogether. Our government knows this and is taking on a bunker-like mentality against everything which threatens it's existence. This includes it's own disgruntled citizens. We are in for a very rough time.

One of the most troubling aspects of this whole refusal or reluctance to admit the terrorist angle to this is that it seems to indicate an absolute reluctance to confront what will have to happen if we are not to simply capitulate to the Muslims, namely, we must immediately deport those who came illegally, as well as those who have known ties to Islamic terrorist organizations.

If the government of the people will not protect the people, the people should and will, protect themselves.

We are at war and the enemy lives in our midst, aided by those who refuse to accept the imminent danger surrounding them.

Your excellent comments seem to have been lost in the babble cloud of wasted bandwidth created by many of the intellectual midgets, who have loaded this thread with idle chatter. You are absolutely correct. It is time that our politically corrected cowards in public office realize this and set about fighting this war (they are too cowardly to even declare it).

Klintler authorized transfer of 20K M-16s to the Palestinian Authority. Have you noted the pics on TV of all the M-16s being carried by "demonstrators?" The AK-47/74 is still quite ubiquitous, but the M-16 is becoming more common.

As to whether or not Clinton provided M-4s? Can't say for sure.

Very well said. Our government is way overdue in recognizing this. It's time to start Profiling and Deporting, whether PC or not. Our lives, our country, and our future is at stake.

Personally, I have concluded that "terrorism" is the most likely--thought not the only--plausible explanation for these attacks.

Um, excuse me! Before you go throwing stones at those that don't get your "jokes," perhaps you would do well to consider your name, theDUgal.

"a home grown young adult(s) who watches too many movies and has tired of video games."

I hope your take on this is correct. I really do, because eventually that bored, "young adult" will make a mistake and get caught. If you're wrong, all of us are walking around with a bulls-eye on our backsides. This is too slick - a higher level of evil than the neighborhood punk, and it's going to spread.

I don't trust people like you because your argument makes no sense. In fact, your argument is nonsense.

No offense, but maybe you should try a little harder to detect obvious sarcasm when you see it.

The Dugal says his name is The Dugal.

Dugal is the Scots Gaelic word for Dane (Viking).

nice finishing touches there.. particularly the SUV! How long before the van mysteriously transforms into an SUV and starts sniping people on its own.... (We caught the right wing gun nut, but his SUV remains on the loose!) Perhaps the SUV is the spotter...
