#1 Regretably I'll be shocked if something doesn't happen, or come close to happening (plot is discovered and then foiled)in the run up to our elections this fall. I also am still quite concerned (horrified) by the notion of the Islamofreaks getting a small nuke into the US, and using it. I can't imagine a more enticing goal for these monsters than to secret in a handful of "suitcase nukes" and set them off in as many cities as they can.

#2 The leader of Germanyâs foreign intelligence agency warned Tuesday of an increased likelihood of a major terror attack by Al Qaeda in the weeks before the American elections.

Well that's nice. Now, any details available? Or is this just a general heads-up, which is of rather questionable value?

#3 Thanks to JFK's come on to Iran, I have no doubt that that terrorists will attempt to pull off another Madrid 3/11.

#4 The Al Qaeda terroristâs, and others, have consistently been successful using bombs, either trucked in, left or carried as an undergarment, to cause substantial casualties; and, while itâs possible they could introduce a chemical, biological, or nuclear device, itâs more likely theyâll stay with the bomb option. Thatâs not to say they might not try a rudimentary âdirty bombâ using depleted uranium core surrounded by conventional explosives.

#5 One of my ML sent a stratfor backgrounder some time ago, which noted the increase of "islamic chatter", and the possibility of a wave of terrorist attacks starting late august, and culminating on the 9/11 anniversary, for what it's worth.

#6 #3, B,I was thinking the same thing. See comments, quotes and links in the thread under "US using turned al-Qaeda against Iran?".
But maybe the Mullahs will be convinced by sKerry's strong language at the American Legion convention in Nashville and not his earlier pandering when he was competing Dean. Yeah. Right.
