#3 Hey everybody, we've all known that the cadres of brigades have been allowed to live amongst us. They will hit when they are ready. After they do I hope America will take a deeper look into PC politics reagarding our islamic neighbors.

The only problem I have is whether they have the knockout blow they hope for. I don't think so. I think the attack will be relitively lame. But even if it is lame I hope our country will take it as the last straw.

#4 Somebody's lobbying for the DCI job and needs some PR, me thinks.

#5 Did not Bush say the world is safer now after the fall of Saddam?

#6 Yes, Chris, it IS safer. Any time a homicidal maniac is out of commission it's better. Or maybe you think he should still be in power, killing 30,000 people a year. Perhaps you'd like it better if Libya was still building nukes and Khan was still selling nuclear technology?

No one has ever said that terrorists aren't still out there gunning for us. We know they are and Bush has been saying so for a long, long time.

The leftists are already planning their response to the next attack, aren't they? "Bush lied. We aren't safe. Let's surrender."

#7 I believe that Al Qaeda will not attack at all this summer and fall. I think Al Qaeda is so badly damaged they will be unable to carry out anything more than small arms attacks. It is good to see the CIA on the job, but I really think that Al Qaeda was knocked back on their heels and they may well never recover enough the launch another spectacular attack.

One burnt out tail lamp, one wrong right turn after stop, one missed rent payment, one beaten hooker and an Al Qaeda operation can come unraveled.

#8 Chris - Deep, man, deep.

Think on this: safer != safe.

#9 (to all non-computer types '!' in C++ means 'not' so
'safer != safe' means 'Safer does not equal safe', )

#10 I agree with Badanov. I think the Olympics is in far more jeapordy than the US elections since Europe has more open borders, more Islamic immigrants, more PC policies, and has shown more of a willingness to cave to terrorism.

I expect a truck or car bomb targetted at or near a hotel around the media. Someplace with lower security and higher visibilty (thanks to the media). I also expect roundups of the usual suspects beforehand to screw up planning and probably lead to the attack being stopped or aborted.

#11 (Thanks, DC. Bad assumption on my part.)

#12 Unfortunately, he and Ridge, Ashcroft, Bush, Cheney et. al. have to keep pushing this thing up the flagpole everytime they get even a nibble. No one, because the politics and incessant media harping, can hold back and decide to be silent while waiting to spring a trap before the election and come across as the smartest move since James Bond foiled SMERSH. We have created a monstrous wheel of fate that has all kind of possible political negatives if we prevent anything from happening.

#13 I agree, if an attack happens and it gets out that they had some incling we'd hear Bush knew endlessly. They have to cover their butts and try to do their best.
