October 28, 2002 -- U.S. intelligence sources reportedly fear that al Qaeda may soon unleash a new tidal wave of bombers at American targets in the United States and abroad.

Sources told Newsweek that increased security measures since Sept. 11 have thwarted the killers' goal of pulling off another strike of World Trade Center proportions.

Al Qaeda is down but not dead yet. We'll see their death rattles produce some more spectaculars before they're finally finit.

And the Democrats are denying Homeland Security to the innocent, hard working, tax paying citizens of this country! The Democrats are acting like our safety is a game.

Is it time to deport non-citizen Arabs and end Mohammedan immigration?

But of course Multiculturalism and Tolerance trumps security.

Perhaps their tune will change when it's their children who are blown to tiny bits by some radical extremist that INS let in.

Don't bet on it. The left's capacity for delusion and destruction is endless.

"U.S. FEARS NEW TACTICS BY AL QAEDA"

Islam best be fearful of unimaginable consequence.

Muslims only understand overwhelming force. If you ever stop kicking them, they lose all respect for you.

In Iran, notice that the Russians and their embassy suffered very few problems, such as hostage taking. They simply told the deathcult trash, "Pull it on us, and kiss Tehran goodbye".

Terrorism really WOULD stop, everywhere if:

A bomb in Tel Aviv always=A raid on a "Refugee camp" with a few thousand casualties.

A WTC attack always= several Muslim cities at random.

These people are rabid dogs. Diplomacy is a waste of time; They are liars, and consider it a virtue.

And though we cannot seem to get anyone to say it, They are implacably determined to kill us.

The Democrats only care about power, I think. Our safety and the good of the country are only of concern to them in so far as they are coincidental with their pursuit of power.

Leftist philosophy very much encourages the pursuit of power, IMO, so I don't suppose it's too surprising to see it becoming the Democrats apparent reason for existence.

I think the Left is in a real quandary because the terrorists are what they think of as a "minority." All their instincts make them want to side with the arabs, as they have usually done in the past.

(Am still reading "The Rise and Fall..." it's damned fascinating, as well as horrifying...took a break from it for awhile to read some other stuff).

Wasn't there a somewhat conspicous string of derailments last summer? Most folks, myself included, were hesistant to decalre terrorism, because the events were all relatively low profile, but now it makes you wonder.

Today, a US diplomat in Jordan was murdered and a Russian airplane has been hijacked. The warning, I fear, is coming true, and the attacks are just beginning.

I figure a kill ratio of 50,000 for 1 would be a start. If the first sweep didn't send a message, I would up it to 250,000 for the second. Let the tears of repentance be theirs, not ours.

The DemocRATS not only care about Power but they are control freaks. They are UNAmerican, IMO, can nothing about the constitution, fair elections, the American people, they only care about themselves. How about we hand them over to the Al Qaeda??

I don't suppose the ragheads have considered the American capicity for individual action (vigilantiasm)?

Sons of Liberty disguised as towelheads...

I'll go you one better. I say clear out every mosque on U.S. soil. People whine about it now. But wait until a few bombs go off in crowded shopping malls, and we find out that a local mosque was the training nexus.

Round up the Muslims.

That's because Democrat power (ie more union voters) is more important than the safety of the "little people" in "flyover country." As far as they know...

Not far off from what I've been saying, though my numbers are a lower multiple.

After 9/11, I advocated a 1,000-1 ratio. So, in the wake of 9/11, I would have wasted 3 million muslims. Easy enough to do, with one submarine. Then, see if the rags have the stomach to play at those stakes.

I'm guessing they wouldn't.

I'm sure that a large number of Democrats were killed by Al Qaeda at the WTC.

Feel better?

”I'm sure that a large number of Democrats were killed by Al Qaeda at the WTC.”

Yes there were especially considering that most of the victims were from the Metropolitan New York area. What will be the telling moment around here will be if the native Democrats from NJ wake up and realize that security is more important than the right to kill unborn babies. I will have lost all faith in my neighbors from New Jersey if they elect Frank Lautenburg on November 5th with his record of voting against the security of this country.
