Merlin1047 said:Yes they will blinside us again if they want to. The attack on 9-11 amounted to grandstanding by Al-Qaeda. They were as interested in gaining notoriety as they were in attacking us. Terrorists who are interested in simply inflicting casualties will: dump biological contaminants into a reservoir which serves a large city. blow up railroad track just in advance of a train carrying toxic chemicals or cause the derailment of a high speed commuter train. shoot heat seekers at airliners. inject nerve gas into the air circulation system of a large building. There are thousands of ways to attack this country. We aid the terrorists by having too many law enforcement agencies with their fingers in the pie. Instead of cooperating with each other, these agencies engage in petty turf battles. We have the ATF, CIA, FBI, Treasury, DEA, Federal Marshalls, NSA, and even the Post Office investigating terrorism. It's time to streamline the process and to stop worrying about offending the sensitivities of moslem Americans. For the time being, they'll just have to understand that there have been no recent attacks on this country by Africans, South Americans, Asians, Canadians, or even Frenchmen and our counter-terrorism efforts need to be directed toward muslims in general and Arab muslims in particular.
All this would be true except for one basic change since 9/11. The US is not sitting around waiting for this attack.
Intelligence services are not visible or made very public except for some talk from our Homeland Security chief.
But it is presumed that we have infiltrators, spying devices, listening devices and foreign intelligence giving the US intelligence services a heads up on any of their plans. They may be sitting in our country waiting for the go sign but I have trust that all their plans and moves are being monitored.
Plus it is probably certain that any country that sponsors any possible successful attacks against America might be destined for immediate retaliation and not another Iraq war. The Muslim countries are aware that George Bush is not afraid to take initiative and destroy them by immediate response.
Not to mention that the Arabs although murderous, are not simple enough to think that any attack against America would put GW Bush back into office as his terrorist fight history is a bit more trusted than John Kerry who has been unable to answer the question put to him in all of his interviews with one way to approach terrorism against America except for going to the UN and begging them to take on the Muslims as a group.
November is rapidly approaching.
