I did a search for this list but did not find it under the words "120 cities"

FYI and speculation!

[RayBob]

Psst...here's a secret...don't tell anyone.

If you live in the United States, and live somewhere near any city, or if you fly on airplanes, or ride on trains, or buses, or drive a car over a bridge or through a tunnel, you are at risk of a terrorist attack.

If you eat lots of bacon and eggs, you are at risk of a heart attack.

If you eat lots of beans...gas attack risk.

If you drive past a McDonalds...that's right, a Big Mac Attack.

Don't watch Fox...that's When Animals Attack.

And worrying about which cities are most at risk will put you at risk of an anxiety attack.

Please don't take this as a flame. Its not directed at you but at whoever would pull out an atlas and make a list of the most populous cities in each state and call it a list of cities at risk.

[Hank Rearden]

Looks to me like they just made a list of every significant city they could think of in those states.

"Be careful near big cities." Not helpful.

OH GREAT - I LIVE IN YONKERS AND WORK IN NYC - I got it coming and going! ;-)

The bad guys and there stuff will come across the Mexican border and head up US 35 as far as the can go. No planes, few trains or busses. Stuff gets stored in those public storage places and the bad guys disappear into the local Muslim communities or leftist groups.

The correct list of cities actually tracks the major commercial freeways of the country. And, with our foolish refusal to seal the dangerous Mexican border, it is probably already too late.

Kind of sounds like that Veterans Life commercial. "If you are a veteran, married to one, child of one, live next to one, wish you were one, etc........

Boy - if we all move at least 50 miles from the major cities, the tent makers will clean up. I wonder what kind of risk the "conclaves" will be under???

Ya think?

[Living Free in NH]

OK, NOW I'm pissed off at these terrorist!!!! No city in beautiful New Hampshire is worthy of attack? Surely, Manchester or Nashua are better than Portland, Oregon.

[Myrnick]

Your response just about has the meter of a Jesse Jackson speech. I loved it!

[PAR35]

I thing you have identified the only criteria used. Several obvious targets in smaller locations are missing.

Looks to me like they just made a list of every significant city they could think of in those states.

You're right. Its just a list of largest city by state. Its like, each state has some cities that are of significant size, and those could be targets. Here they are...

Interesting as a 4th grade geography unit exercise, but otherwise not too helpful.

BLUE ZONE ALERT!...BLUE ZONE ALERT!...BLUE ZONE ALERT!...

If you have any Chianti i'm staying the h3ll away.

[JCEccles]

No cities listed for Wyoming or Idaho. Good.

[Alouette]

I find it pretty amusing that the threat for Michigan includes Warren (northern suburb of Detroit where GM Tech Center and US Army Tank Command is located) but not Dearborn (southern suburb of Detroit where Ford Motor and a gazillion Arabs are located).

[Robert A Cook PE]

OKay-

So when these "blue" counties get nuked and smallpoxed by Iraqi weapons, can we hold a new census early to replace the democratic Congressmen who no longer have constituents?

Better yet, can we arrange for the liberal/liar/democrat(but I repeat myself) Congressmen who are opposing action in the Mideast to BE in their districts when their people get killed?

**Please don't take this as a flame.**

I'm not -- I was laughing all the way through your post!

You do have an interesting comparison there between the auto makers.

Hmmmm. Maybe this guy drives a Ford.
