#1 And we're talking the country that cut back immensely on its army recently, IIRC.

#2 Pardon my ignorance, but when was Australia hit?

Secondly, have the terrorists ever threatened the countries of Norway, Sweden, Holland, or Denmark?

#3 And I guarantee you that when they are hit, they'll blame the U.S., rather than the Islamizoids. (At least the leftists will; I know there are still sane Canadians, and hope they aren't the ones killed in the attack.)

When it happens, wonder if the Chomsky-ites will tell the Canadians to ask themselves why the terrorists hate them?

Message to Canadian law enforcement: If you all happen to get into hot pursuit of some of your Islamoterrorists, heading for our border, come on down. Just please try to let us know what you're chasing so we can kill them for you so your screwed-up courts won't let them go.

#4 Australia got hit with the Bali bombing.

I believe that Norway has also been singled out by al-Zawahiri.

#5 ex-lib: I think they're referring to the bombing in Bali, which was aimed at, and murdered, mostly Australians.

#7 I demand to know how they prepare their target list. Not once have my beautiful far-flung Isle of Langerhans been mentioned as a potential target. Now how am I going to get US Foreign Aid without this distinction? There be big money in terrorism if you play your cards right, at least that's what my overpaid advisor, Jesse Jackson, tells me. He promised I'd rake it in. Shit! I was counting on that as my seed money, then rolling over and selling out to the Soros Socialist Machine and then my web stuff to PUA, then absconding with the lot and retiring to someplace they've never heard of, like Yap or San Marino... and there are a lot of places they've never heard of. I know - I audited a madrassah "geography" class and it consisted of being able to approximate in which direction Mekkkah lies from anywhere on the planet - within 20 km of Quetta, anyway.

Hey, Izzoids, over here! Hit Meeee! Hit Meeee! Shit.

#8 Ex-lib:
The Netherlands were named several times in communications coming from Al-Q., the dutch government imedeatly responded by implementing operation: lets put our heads in the sand, if we cant see them, they'll believe they cant see us.

#9 Folks, I'm not understanding why the bad guys would target Canada? In the true sense of the phrase they would be shitting in their mess kit to attack Canada. Since the fall of Afghanistan Canada is/has been their most secure safe harbor. They may be dumb and stupid but are they total imbeciles? That doesn't compute to me as Canada is strategically an ideal location to conduct more attacks on the US. Could be wrong in my thinking. Puzzling to me. Chine

#10 It's like the summer olympic bids all over again. Canadian mediocrity. Never at the bottom, but somehow we always manage to lose the top spot. I'd like to know who beat us out and why. Who made the top five?

#11 Chiner, there you go being all logical/rational and stuff. To the logical tactician (i.e. you, I, and most folks on this site), Canada would be a dream base of ops to run terror cells out of. Lax immigration laws, weakening defensive posture, easy access to CONUS. However, and (lucky for us) the Al Q nuts are more radical then logical. This is going to be a long war but they will make it easier w/this type of shit.

#12 Al Qaeda is not hitting 'soft' targets. They are hitting ANY target.

The US response to 911 knocked AQ back on their heels. Now, 30 months later, Al Qaeda has shifted its strategy: They are shitting in their own pool and on their own folks, supporters and allies, those folks they know will either be too scared or too stupid to respond.

#13 Question is:Wich way will Canada jump?
Will they whimper,whine,and cower down?
Or will they get trully pissed and unleash a brigade of Canadian snipers for a hunting expedition?

#14 Will they whimper,whine,and cower down? That's all you see and hear now!

Canadian politician are still living in the 9/10 world. It cannot happen here is the modus operandi. They have absorbed the multicultural mode for so long they have no other way of acting. De Nile flows into the St Lawrence just downstream of Ottawa.

Canada is but a collection of badly run health care providers. And if last years SARS experience is any measure, and serious terrorist attack would quickly collapse that process.

Canada will depend on the US to come to their aid, just like they have done throughout the Cold War. But do not expect any thanks, just whining, wimpering, and cowering. Morally, politically, and economically bancrupt.

There, I feel better.

#15 I see that Iran's "house arrest" program has really reined Adel in.

#16 john, should alqaeda hit Canada, we can expect the prime minister to promptly board a private jet for a Caribbean golfing vacation.
