Target-4 MILLION dead Americans

justamom · #1 05-26-2004, 04:27 PM

Please note this is from CNBC, NOT FOX

The "chatter" we have all been hearing about since 9-11 has reached a new high. There is "credible" info that plans are about 70% complete. An execution possible between now and the election that would make 9-11 look like a bumper car accident. The terrorists are in this country and the means to kill us is in this country now. Suspects have been identified.

They are looking at something similar to Madrid OR trucks that will carry bio or chem weapons...REALLY dirty bombs.

The United States remains al-Qaida’s prime target, the report said. An al-Qaida leader has said 4 million Americans will have to be killed “as a prerequisite to any Islamic victory,” the survey said.

4 million.. that'd be insane.

That'd shut the world up when it came to this BS I always hear about 'human rights' for terrorists. Complete BS. I hope to God that we're torturing the HELL out of anyone we pick up in connection with this. If we get info leading to taking down a potential huge event like this, it'd be worth it.

In case you all haven't noticed, the other side doesn't really concern itself with things like the Geneva Convention, etc. We're all fair game.

Of course, this could all be a ruse by Al Quaeda members to attempt to bring the US economy down by scaring investors away.

Ha. I looked at the aliases of those 7, and I'm sure it's gona be quite difficult to find them based on names because I"VE SEEN ALL THOSE! Ok not all, but from being the minority in a mostly Arab university, I've learned that they have pretty much all the same first names and last names.

Makes me even more weary to be at school there.

Perhaps the terrorists would do well to remember Admiral Yamamoto's comment after his fleet struck Pearl Harbor. "I fear that all we have accomplished is to wake a sleeping giant and fill him with a terrible resolve".
One must remember that if one keeps annoying a kindly old dog sooner or later that old dog is going to anger and bite. How would you like to be on the receiving end of that bite? It is, after all, one hell of an old dog!
Some months back when I was deployed my first sergeant used to say "Go ahead and take the first shot, but don't miss - I won't".

great... this isn't going to make my plane trip to hawaii next month any easier. I haven't flown since 9-11 and have never been to comfortable about flying before then. oy.

Try not to worry too much- I flew to europe and was there for a long time- things are ok- yes we should be cautious but especially going to hawaii you won't have any problems- just focus on how much fun you're going to have out there

and- i used to get really scared about flying and i have an anxiety disorder- so just try to remain calm- take deep breaths- try to focus on other things and if all else fails- take some sleeping pills and take a nice nap lol

Of course that'd play into the recruiter's hands.... hate breeds hate, violence breeds violence. Damn, why is it so hard for people to understand that basic maxim?

Today I had the pleasure of hearing Brothers visiting from the US urging this type of stupid behaviour (while using terms like sand n*gger, rag head, or hijabis)... I was more than happy to toss them off the property and tell them to never darken our chapter's doorstep again! But what galled me the most is that these were guys visiting before shipping out...

PS> No I won't mention what chapter they were from, nor region, but there has been a discussion with their chapter's executive explaining why they were turfed.....

Anyone wonder why they have not raised the terror level if this is very crediable? Usually they do when thats the case. Especially when they have 7 suspects.

This week is Vietnam in my film class about Oliver Stone. Gives a slight echo to Platoon with the various names called, and the subsequent turn of Charlie Sheen saying "they are human f-ing beings" while in the village. Huge discussion about demoralizing the "enemy" for the purpose of war, and the noncombantants being put in the same "slur category".

Cosign to PM Mama, there is one person on the list that looks familiar to me, and those names could be students at my University (where a grad student was already arrested last year, and is currently on trial). There has been a Saudi Student Assoc. for decades, I saw one in the 1954 year book.

4 million, that is the total population of Alaska or San Francisco five fold. If you break it down like that, it is staggering.

I hope the strategy the FBI is doing works out - looks like they're trying to flush out the suspects. If there is a VERY credible and imminent threat to the United States or its interests, then I would hope they are acting rapidly behind the scenes to try and prevent it.

God forbid there is another terrorist attack on U.S. soil... I'd sure hate to be the country or countries who are not 110% with the United States in fighting the war against terrorism.

Terrorists need to be shown NO mercy and given NO quarter; martyrdom DOES NOT apply to their cause.

I'm not afraid to die, so bring it on pussies....

James · #13 05-26-2004, 10:19 PM

I am glad that they brought it out now, I am sure it will help the President get elements of the Patriot Act made permanent.

DeltAlum · #14 05-26-2004, 10:30 PM

I'm real tired of looking for a political ploy behind every bush (er...rock. Ok, so the joke was intended).

Truth is, I think Kerry should have kept his mouth shut about this. If this is politically motivated, it's stupid and the President will suffer in the end.

It's difficult to comprehend that kind of casualties -- unless you're an avid reader of Tom Clancy. Which I am.

If something does happen and the anti-terrorism people in the cities haven't been warned, though, the Homeland Secrity folks and the rest of the Administration are in trouble.

It is interesting with the holiday weekend coming up that, assuming all of this speculation is real, the threat level hasn't been raised.

The way I look at it, I may be paranoid -- but am I being paranoid enough?

ETA I was typing this when James posted above, and this is not a direct response to that post. If that does turn out to be the case (and I will admit it occurred to me) I will lose whatever respect I may have left for The President.

I WAS planning a NY trip, but I think I will delay it till AFTER the political season.

This was a topic of discussion this a.m. on ...tada FOX. There was a DEMOCRAT senator who said we had BETTER see the course in Iraq AND we had better hope any attack is intercepted OR, the current articles within the Patriot Act will look like child's play.

He went on to say that no matter WHAT we did, we were ALWAYS a target and nothing could/would prevent an attack on us. It is their, Al Queda's goal, to KILL US. Nothing, in the minds of many sitting on both sides of the fence, would change their quest.

I'm sure there is a link to this on Fox, but actually, I'm signing off now and am bidding all a good night.
