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.

All historical data indicates that it wouldn't. Thus, with all due respect, I propose another option:

As soon as a terrorist attack upon our country, citizen(s), or allies is detected, an Arab/muslim country should be invaded, occupied, and finally either democratized or broken up for the tribes who occupy it. ANY oil reserves would, of course, remain in our control.

It has long been obvious that most of these Middle Eastern nations are simply incapable of either living in peace with the world OR entering modern times. For such medieval reticence, a price must be paid, and if a nation conducts attacks on others, using the vile methods of terrorism, a period should be put to its history as an independant country, FOREVER.

Only through such loss of power and resources will the leaders of those nations (who are, after all, most of the problem) change their ways, and eject or kill the Islamist elements within their borders, and curb their own impulses.

Note, I did not specify WHICH nations should face such dissolution. That's because it really doesn't matter. Sooner or later, we'll get the right ones. In the meantime, lessons will be both taught and learned. However, I believe we will know where to start.

The biggest worry is that al Qaeda will deploy homicide bombers in crowded areas.

Bet on it. Two or three of these and the Sheeple will awaken. But its going to take two or three Balis.

"The DemocRATS not only care about Power but they are control freaks. They are UNAmerican, IMO, care nothing about the constitution, fair elections, the American people, they only care about themselves."

Yeah, I agree with all you say...I think being a control freak just comes naturally with being a socialist, which seems to be the Democrats' direction these days (even the Republicans' direction to a lesser degree). Socialism really requires government to become involved in every aspect of everyone's lives, how else can they make things (what they decide is) fair?

I think that Al Qaeda will kill Democrats and Republicans without discriminating, but I do think if they absolutely had to choose, they might find a little more affinity with Democrats...the Lackawanna Seven were all registered Democrats, for instance.

"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.

'Course the people of this country (including New Jersey, I guess) elected the Clintons president twice, and would probably do it again if given the chance, so sometimes faith does become a little sketchy.

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.

For all who saw the story of the FBI translator on 60 Minutes last night and who have been keeping up with the shenanigans that the Clintons and Democrat Congressmen have been pulling to cripple the FBI and CIA, as well as leftists implanted within the bureaucracy, you will see even more dots to connect as to why Democrats don't want to give Bush the authority he needs over personnel decisions within a new Dept. of Homeland Security. It is not just to protect jobs and the moribound status quo of the leftist government workers union, it is to protect these workers ability to obstruct any effort toward realistic reform in other departments as well. (Such as the INS) These bureaucrats are as selfish and as anti-American as Tom Daschle, Dick Gephardt, Teddy Kennedy, and the myriad other leftists in the U.S. Congress. These workers are part of the plot to change America through stealth and they are just as insidious as Democrats who attempt to steal elections. The Democrats will protect their secret army at any costs. We must do all we can to prevent that.

"(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)."

"The Rise and Fall" of what?

It would have NEVER occurred without Ross Perot acting on the Klinton's behalf.

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.

Don't forget that Muslim immigrants vote Democratic as soon as they can. Dems don't care about anything but power.

You are so right! We have allowed the enemy into our midst and we are sitting ducks as long as we let them stay. Send all Muslims back to Muslim countries and keep them there until they will behave like civlized people, which will probably never happen.

An excellent proposal. I'm humbled.

It has an air of "salting the earth at Carthage" to it. Very, very nice.

U.S. Urges U.N. Allies to Wake Up to Iraqi Threat

President Bush will make his case against Baghdad on the campaign trail on Monday where he has drawn standing ovations for his lambasting of Iraqi President Saddam Hussein's pursuit of weapons of mass destruction.

Yeah, or if we hadn't been in a recession, for that matter. Or, the second time, if the Republicans had picked someone a little more vibrant than Dole.

There's lots of reasons why, I guess, but Clinton still got elected twice and there are still lots of us that didn't have any trouble at all figuring out to vote against the guy.

They have been marshalling their forces in order to mount a catastrophic assault on our cities. They will gladly set off nukes in cities where the Muslim population is the highest, and you can bank on cities in Texas being in the crosshairs since W. is from Texas.

The Muslims in Dallas and in Houston would be happy to be apart of self-immolation and nuclear mass murder. There is a large Muslim population in San Antonio -- so look out for the AFBs nearby.

The Muslim communities/compounds in Atlanta, Seattle, Portland, and Detroit would be pleased to become "martyrs" for their demented cause.

They need to be rounded up and detained in camps pending deportation. We also need to say it loud and clear that Islam is an ideology of conquest, control and catastrophe. It has some practices that appear religious. But it is not a religion. It is an enemy ideology that will destroy everything we hold sacred. And we need to ban the ideology and its practitioners from the United States.

They would be very foolish indeed to kill Rats because the Rats are doing their best to grease the way for the next series of terror attacks.

I'd go so far as to say that if a Rat gathering were to be bombed, I'd be suspicious that it wasn't really Al Qaeda. Please note, I am NOT advocating any such thing!

OTOH it would be hysterical if the Rats accused the VRWC because they would be admitting they understood that they had been acting in the best interests of Al Qaeda instead of America and American citizens.

I've heard (but haven't been able to document) that the Clowntoon Crime Cabal shifted FBI resources from counter-terrorism to copyright enforcement to pay off their Hollyweird donors.
