so when will the attack threat come

[bcp (Premo)]

we have only a few weeks left till the election.
when will the attack threat and attempt come, being stopped only by the proceedures put in place by the bush administration.

certainly history tells us that this must happen in order for bush to go out saying, see, I told you so..

I say within a 2 week time frame. far enough from the elections to spin the situation, yet close enough to be really fresh in the publics mind.

must also have at least 2 weeks for the anti muslim posters to be hung next to the barack HUSSIEN obama posters.

Are you saying you do not believe the threat level is about to increase... you just think it's all hype?

October Surprise - Spies Warn al Qaeda May Be Plotting Terror Attacks : Homeland Security National Terror Alert - Homeland Security News

October Surprise - There is growing speculation that al Qaeda may be plotting additional terror attacks both abroad and in the US leading up to the US Presidential elections.

In the aftermath of two major terrorist attacks on Western targets, America’s counterterrorism community is warning that Al Qaeda may launch more overseas operations to influence the presidential elections in November.

Call it Osama bin Laden’s “October surprise.” In late August, during the weekend between the Democratic and Republican conventions, America’s military and intelligence agencies intercepted a series of messages from Al Qaeda’s leadership to intermediate members of the organization asking local cells to be prepared for imminent instructions.

Well, if Richard Clarke doesn't pussyfoot around a threat briefing, I'll not believe there is anything to worry about.

9/11 was no joke, I don't think that anything from these monsters should be considered as hype. Better safe than sorry!

Isn't that the last time he was heard from?

I dont think that they will attack to sway the election.

I dont think it will work the way they want it to, they really want to piss off the country again right before this election and have the voters seeing red when they cast their vote.
who would people vote for? somebody that there is no question to what he is going to do?
or somebody that there is no question that he would cower and run.

a real attack would be the best thing politically right now for the republicans. I personally would prefer this not happen, but at the very least it does show that the threat is not gone.

if we were attacked on our own soil now, it would fall blame to those that refused to close the border at a time when our security should have been the tightest.

I agree... the attack will happen because America is in dire straights. Full prices are already soaring just because of our current financial crisis alone. Tack on a large scale terrorist attack pretty much anywhere now and the price per barrel will be off the charts. That in turn will bring our struggling economy to it's knees. If the large scale attack occurs on American soil... I can't even imagine.

It worked in Spain, they may think it will work here.

They aren't the brightest people in the world, and many people before them have underestimated us.

Though today, if they attack, many libs WILL say it's because who's in charge, that we need an appeaser in the White House. We need someone that will talk to them, bargain with them, that can write notes and send them money so they won't atttack us again.
