| The US and Europe are among the most threatened by jihadists following Israel's recent operations in Gaza. IntelCenter's "Gaza Response: Analysis of Jihadist Statements & Threatened Targets v1.0 - 30 Jan. 2009" report illustrates how developments in one part of the world can significantly increase the threat level faced by countries not directly involved. Since there is a well-established correlation between changes in threat messaging and where attacks are executed, especially for groups in the al-Qaeda orbit, there is a significant level of increased risk faced by those targets identified in this report. Twenty-three out of 53 statements issued by jihadists on Gaza included threats. The US was the target of 46.7% of the threats while Israel came in at 30% and Europe 10%. Israel's withdrawal of forces is unlikely to have a significant calming effect and the motivation for retaliatory strikes will remain high for the forseeable future. Terrorist planning for large-scale events occurs over a period of month and years, not weeks. The impact of this planning cycle is that retaliatory attacks are likely to occur long after the most recent fighting in Gaza has been forgotten in the West but will still be fresh in the minds of jihadists.

| #4 I doubt it. Th epublic is far from fat,dum, and complacent, which is their prime seeding ground. If they stir up shit now, they will meet zero sympathy among the populace (regardless of the roll-over-and-beg attitude now in the Executive gov't branch). People are pissed, and not willing to tolerant shit IMHO |

| #3 Well, now that CAIR has finally been jettisoned by the FBI (long over due), the Holy Land Foundation shut down, will the HAMAS support apparatus begin what they have not yet done in the USA...take violent action? |

| #2 They are already doing their worst possible. How worst that sending your own children to blow themselves up can you possibly do... Now, they're down to empty threats. Until we allow them nukes... Then, upwind from a major city, a dirty bomb will explode in an old freighter tramp ship, sickening, killing millions. Nothing we can do about any of this, but hang their enablers, the leftards that voted the magic negro in... |
