I don't doubt for a minute that MORE terror attacks are coming.

[Philosoraptor]

To our soil. How could I possibly doubt it at this juncture? We are BEGGING to be attacked, literally, just praying for it, not you and I, our "leaders".

They crave it, they need it, they gotta have it, and soon. They are doing everything possible in their power to bring it on. They act like they don't want it, but they want it bad, like a crack head wants a rock.

There will be phony terror plots thwarted, real terror plots thwarted, and there will be real terror attacks, you could almost say we deserve it, but we don't, not we the people.

We don't deserve to be attacked, no one does, but if you are flat out fucking ASKING FOR IT, you'll get it.

1. Our seaport, border, and airport security is such a joke...

...that i am shocked it hasn't happened multiple times already.

[Waya]

2. Yep,

Bush wants a Terror attack so bad he can taste it - but, can he really afford one? If another one was to hit while Glorious George is in office - what would it do to his rep of being tough on terror and oh, so good at keeping us all safe and sound?

[Philosoraptor]

5. I'm convinced now that it will work AGAIN.

And I really hate to hear myself say it.

[soothsayer]

6. He didn't get a bounce out of the UK story. bwa ha ha ha!

[Philosoraptor]

8. but millions believed it.

and still do. the bounce was a hoax too.

[Virginia Dare]

14. Has there been any new polls...

I think the last one was from the end of June?

[Rabrrrrrr]

3. It's a mix of Shrubbie et. al. doing everything in their power to make it

happen, through policies that piss people off, and also Shrubbie et. al. doing everything in their power to LET them happen by not stopping them. WHenever Shrubbie et. al. deem it most advanatageous to let an attack happen, you can rest assured, as God is my witness, that an attack will happen.

[bigbrother05]

16. Don't think it's exactly LIHOP or MIHOP,

but it's obvious they Wanted Something To Happen (WSTH). Think they would have been content to just bully the world and throw their weight around if they could get away with it, but they really get off on "proving" how tough they are when they get a chance. Think they were truly surprised at how successful 9-11 was (even though they knew it might happen, but were too busy being not-Clinton), but it didn't take long for the neo-cons/end-timers to dust off their plans to remake the ME. To them it's all a chance to remake the world in their own delusional vision of how it ought to be and screw the reality based world.

4. Diplomacy, respect, cultural exchange , coexistence.

How many times are these words seen in a Bush speech?

[Virginia Dare]

7. They will not leave office...

without starting another war, probably with Iran and/or Syria. They may need another "Pearl Harbor" to get it to happen, so yes, I think the chances are pretty good.

[Philosoraptor]

9. President cheney guaranteed it, several times.

[treestar]

10. Maybe it sounds pollyanna-ish, but I don't think there are that

many suicidal maniacs in the world. In every culture, you have your nutcases. We have ours too, they just prowl the streets looking for girls to kidnap/murder. The culture has them come out in a different way.

In some ways I think the response to a 911 type attack happening again is an instance of hysteria. This centuries 20 or so maniacs from Arabia have been used up.

It even suggests to me that Al Qaeda may not have had a lot to do with it that no demands have been made? Don't terrorists make demands? Why haven't they threatened to do it again if we don't pull the troops from the middle east or whatever it is - why are we left guessing what it is they want?

[Philosoraptor]

11. You may be right.

I don't doubt your opinion. This is what we've come to.

[Virginia Dare]

13. Interesting question...

because after 9/11, the United States left some fairly new (10 years old) military bases, bases which cost U.S. taxpayers a pretty penny to build,k in Saudi Arabia, with little or no fanfare. Why do you suppose that was?

[treestar]

17. Very interesting.

Saudi Arabia was attacked, too. We are definitely in some sort of alliance with SA, though they have to be the most "Islamofascist" state there is, and most of the hijackers came from there. Lends credence to that theory that Al Qaeda intended 911 as a warning to the Saudis, of what they could do (SA not be "islamofascist" enough for Al Qaeda."

[bigbrother05]

19. Guys like McVeigh & Hinckley are maniacs

and yes, there aren't that many around. But how many folks in our military do you think you could get to volunteer for a "suicide mission" to take out a target that they felt (were told) threatened the safety and foundations of our country? The potential numbers that might participate in attacks are too high to count given the current state of unrest in the world, and not just those connected with Al Qaeda. In some ways, the training camps in Afghanistan were the mirror of the one we ran at Ft. Benning.

[earth mom]

22. Who are the REAL terrorists?

They aren't over in the Middle East that's for sure.

Does Al Queda even exist?

Probably not.

[snappyturtle]

12. What's wrong with me?

I don't think we, the people, are asking for an attack but I do believe our government is making the decision if they need one or not. The British hoopla is the litmus test to see if we are sufficiently a-feared, if not it might take a bigger, more demonstrative, display. THAT'S what fears me the most. If the repukes have decided that "security" is their only hope to win the Fall elections, we could be in for more terror. Does that make any sense?

[Philosoraptor]

15. Yes, it makes sense.

Of course America isn't asking for it, but that's what it looks like to the world. Our "leaders" are certainly asking for it, and maybe they deserve it, but we don't.

Many people now admit that they think it could happen again, and that our "LEADERS" will e involved. many have become crackpot theorists without wanting to be.

[CJCRANE]

18. The worse thing is

that 9/11 wasn't enough. They had to throw in the anthrax too to cow the Dems and the media.

[Individualist]

24. Yes

Timing is everything in determining whether a terror attempt/attack is real or not.

[Punkingal]

20. I agree with you completely....

I am especially in agreement with this statement from you post:

"They crave it, they need it, they gotta have it, and soon. They are doing everything possible in their power to bring it on. They act like they don't want it, but they want it bad, like a crack head wants a rock."

I expect something every single day, because they want it to happen, and they're going to make it happen. AGAIN.

[nancyr]

21. Terror attacks

Terror threats are the only thing this sick administration has going in order to keep the herd in line. They will do anything to keep that power. Anything.

[Arugula Latte]

23. The Republicans are hoping for mid-October, no doubt.
