Lets hope this is not the case. We can not afford to have the economy crippled again, it is just starting to recover.

liquidmoe > I agree with you 100%.
Constant little attacks would be alot worse.

Isreal has real terrorism problems, suicide bombers blowing up in busy streets, inside clubs etc. That is fear.

I'd imagine a suicide bomber in Times Square on New years would cause some panic.

Agreed. I think there will be attacks on American people and interests in other parts of the world. But I do not think they will ever do another 9/11 on this country.

Why? Because they had the element of suprise. Like the Japanese and Pearl Harbor..they caught us with our "pants down". And while the security system in the United States is not perfect, it is SO much better than it was on 9/11. (No thanks to the Bush administration to a large degree).

And EscortBiz makes an excellent point of why would they broadcast that they are going to hit? They sure didn't do that before 9/11. But the LOVE watching many Americans and Europeans and allies of the United States in fear.

Really, We've had 6 or 7 Americans killed just in the last 48-72 hours. Rocket attacks on hotels in Baghdad. Many soldiers still getting wounded daily.

So, how is Lady Mischief "uninformed" in her conclusion that the capture of Hussein would not slow down significantly any attacks on American troops?

Which is why these "Code Orange" alerts have to be stopped or slowed down till there is a REAL threat! We now go, "Oh code Orange..whee..big deal!"

The Bush administration loves this scenario: "We have information that there will be attacks on us. We don't where, we don't know when, and we don't know by who..but we need to go to code orange!"

And then when the holidays are through, and there has been no major attack, the American people think "Wow..I guess old GW is really good as Prez because therer were no attacks!"

PURELY POLITICAL!

Are you saying George Bush DIDN'T say "I'm not worried about Bin Laden right now"?

And then are you going to say that George Bush DIDN'T say after 9/11 "We're going to find him and get him, DEAD or ALIVE?"

Wtf IS the main target/priority of our terrorist "campaign" then?

If Osama can pull what off?
And when you say "total elimination of this threat" do you mean ethnic cleansing of everyone who is Muslim?

You don't read the newspapers or watch news programs?
Every poll taken over the last year of so showed a MAJORITY of Americans DID belive Saddam had a big hand in the 9/11 attack!

They ALSO belive that Saddam had a large amount of WMDS!

Well put. Part of our "ethnic cleansing" policy for the middle east.

And I ask you: WHAT terrorist threat to America from Iraq was there?

And over 2 years later, WHERE are the Taliban? They are re-massed and fighting back in Afghanistan! Even the United Nations and other relief organizations are pulling out of Afghanistan because it has become so unsafe! Kabul is the only place where it is even half way safe..and that's if you're wear head to toe armor!

And WHY have the taliban been able to re-group? Because Bush called off the war on terrorism and the pursuit of the Al Quadea network in Afghantistan and the Taliban and went after Hussein!

130,000 trooops in Iraq.
13,000 troops in Afghanistan.

Damn, I might as well have a drink,,,

hmmm ... Al Queda threatening attacks?

is this new?

... all they have is towels and tape recorders ... wanna bet nothing is going to happen until feb 2004 ... or better, right until bush gets re-elected ??

doing a major attack again in states it's easy. A big van full of explosives can kill from hundreds to thousands people in a major street. What about 5 vans? 10 vans at the same time in different areas? Such attacks are not extremely hard to be achived. Think about it. I really doubt if there's a next attack it will come from a hijacked airline. Let's hope nothing will happen and it's just another of their bs messages because nobody can fight blind heats.

Blah blah blah, fucking Al Qaeda shit heads. :321GFY

I agree with Escort Biz and KRL. Spot on.

Very well put indeed. A climate of fear serves not only the terrorists but also the goals of the current administration.

we will all die screaming

money, weapons. training, safe haven, etc.....

bush and the cia are going to make another government funded terrorist attack and all you sheep will fall for again so he can rip away your rights and start another war........HAVNT YOU LEARNT A DAM THING?

Like 'they' would use the term 'back breaking':1orglaugh the selected adminstarion have been listening to too many hollywood movies....oh wait they do have hollywood on the payroll:winkwink:

I understand that this is tough for kids to understand but you the Taliban are on the run in afghanistan, not running the country. The US needs them to regroup so they can be identified and killed. with a big US presence they just turn into your typical towelhead. give them some rope, they become taliban and killable again.
Please, stop typing, its embarrassing:1orglaugh

stop immergration, deport arabs and muslims and bushes, problem solved 100%

LOL.. what an idiot!

asshat of 2003 :)

Do us all a favor, go choke on some freedom fries and shut the fuck up.

coming from someone of your stature, you can't imagine how hurt I am.

this goes for thunderbells and saddam too.
It hurts so much!:1orglaugh

LOL!!!

12shits, you are an http://smilies.sofrayt.com/%5E/a0/bgrasshole.gif

please stop! it hurts so much.:1orglaugh

You are correct - it is not a target rich environment right now.

Great. Where's your proof? Evidence?
Even George Bush finally admitted there was no evidence tying Saddam Hussein to 9/11.

You're a twisted joke that refuses to acknowledge reality.
For you to deny that the Taliban is making a comeback in Afghanistan and that foreign nationals are leaving the country in droves currently is what is laughable, and downright EMBARRASSING for you..showing what an un-educated dimwit you are.

How much of the country OUTSIDE of Kabal is actually SECURE, without Warlord or Taliban control??

Yes, I've got it all wrong yet the US is doing what I say, you've got it all right but can only find a forum here.

:1orglaugh
It must drive you nuts to be so right yet so irrelevant.

I wish I could find the picture of Muhammed el 12clicks with the turban.

I guess I can't draw a straight line for you, but I can connect the dots for myself. In fact, I could care less if there is direct evidence linking Saddam to 9/11 specifically. I believe we have to think beyond 9/11 and consider the potential harm/danger he presented. Sorry dude, when people start blowing up buildings in NYC, preemptive strikes are the way to go.

We're talking about the same guy that tried to assassinate a US President and gassed his own people, right? Are you defending Saddam, or just hate GW so much that you will attack anything he does?

you're the second person I know looking for that tonight.:Graucho

Clicks..I leave it to you to be crazy and continue to render yourself totally irrelevant to what is fact. To say you are a nitwit would be too complimentary! :1orglaugh

[B]You're right..it's not a straight line..it's one HUGE wavy line that goes all over the place. Somehow "preemptive strikes" are going to prevent terrorists attacks against the US?

Here's a novel idea..instead of that..why don't we go after the people that have actually been attacking us?

imagine what the world would be like if old far-right loonies that thought like 12clicks and theking were in positions of power.

hmm, hang on a second...
