WASHINGTON [MENL] -- The CIA has concluded that the United States will be rocked by a major attack from Islamic insurgents.
Officials said U.S. intelligence has assessed that the attack would probably come from Saudi fugitive Osama Bin Laden or his allies. They said the Bin Laden operation would seek to match the suicide attacks on New York and Washington on Sept. 11.
Such an attack, officials said, is likely to once again target New York or Washington. Over the last two weeks, the FBI, which works with the CIA in the Counter-Terrorist Center, has issued two warnings of terrorist attacks. The agency said it obtained information that insurgents have targeted banks and shopping malls in northeastern United States.
"Now for the hard truth," CIA Deputy Director for Operation James Pavitt said. "Despite the best efforts of so much of the world, the next terrorist attack -- it's not a question of if, it's a question of when. The threat that we face today from global terrorism is real, it's immediate, and it is unlike any other we have faced before. I say this from 30 years of experience in an intelligence function."

I know this is true, and have lived in anticipation of it since Sept 11th. That is why I don't think it is funny to make jokes about the warnings we get from the gov't as some do.
Lives hang in the balance, and I only wish we could capture and get rid of the terrorists among us, but alas, their so called "rights" are being touted by those who just don't get it.

Your#120) Agreed!
People in the flyover and turnaround cities are feeling a bit left out of this terrorism stuff.
Let's face it, East Coast cities are all these Arabs have their sights on.
Anywhere else is an unnecessary inconvenience.

The CIA is like those stock market analysts who were predicting two short years ago that there was no reason why NASDAQ couldn't continue to go up and up until the Second Coming. Going with the flow. The CIA, the same agency that issued a glowing report on the Soviet economy in 1989 is now issuing terrorist warnings every month or so. They can't be ever accused of missing, can they?! Hell, didn't they already predict little Luke Helder's would be terrorist activities?

Powell is accompanied by an unknown "mystery man" who is charged with carrying the so called "softball," Yes I heard that.
CNN, [ Cowardly News Network ] had an unconfirmed report that the so-called " mystery man " was once a member of the CFRB [Council Foreign Relations Bluffs]. His primary fuction while there was to, in times of crisis, to launch the extremely decisive and dreaded, " trial balloon". CFRB Has denied the report.

He's a master of disguises too. Here he is another time when he was unsuccessful in eluding the camera.
To: Hoosier Patriot
Yes ! That's him! He's demonstrating for the camera his legendary " Kung Fu Bluff"!
This is the one Powell used when Gen. Schwarzkopf asked Bush Sr. for 48 hrs. more to further degrade Saddam's republican guard in Desert Storm.
