Rep. Curt Weldon R-Pa., locked in a tight Philadelphia-area re-election race, went a step further. "We either fight them there, or we fight them in the supermarkets and streets here," he said Wednesday in an interview with CNN.

Even if airports had perfect security, terrorists would simply shift their targets to harbors or shopping malls or schools, Rep. Pete Hoekstra said.

2. They'll come for the petting zoos and Amish Popcorn factories, too. n/t

3. We should be staying at home and spending time with our families anyways!

Family values and all that...

4. Will they fly their balsa wood troop transports over the Atlantic?

Or ship their troops in cargo containers?

[Bluebear]

5. No vegetable stand is safe, no Marshall's store secure.

We MUST defeat them over there. :crazy:

6. Weldon's opponent should have a field day with this..........

these fear tactics are easy to expose.

7. Pfft...what's new about that?

:shrug:

8. Hell I said that in 2001. Except for the either/or part, which is idiotic.

My nightmare for the last 5 years: How will America and the economy react to the first suicide bomber at a mall? Wouldn't even have to kill anybody.

Post 9/11 economic slide will look like a minor blip and the USAPatriot Act will look like the Civil Rights Act in comparison.

9. What I don't get with this line of "thinking"

is what is stopping them from coming here now? If the Iraqis' aim is to attack us, couldn't they just come and do it now?

And exactly how are they going to get here?

Bush said the other day that if we leave now, the terrorists will follow us home. And how will they do that? Hide in the luggage?

10. They are obviously discrediting their own

ability to keep our border secure from illegal aliens. If we leave there and they follow us here doesn't that mean they have failed to secure the border?

11. When they use this on me, I reply: How the hell

are they going to get over here!

What a stupid concept! What cowards they are!
