can you determin what the hot spots or corporations that are involved in the picture?

I predict that all of the radical leftists (Pig Dung Moore, the Hollyweird crowd, et al) will have a knee-jerk reaction of glee if it happens. At which point they will have to go into hiding for all of the active blood hunts that will be sworn against them. Even lamestream news reporters will steer clear of them, for fear of catching a stray round in the back of the head.

I that large building on the left Jacob Javitz? Empire state building is one.

New York is already on heightened alert for the Republican National Convention, which meets at Madison Square Garden in a month and will bring scores of high government officials to town.

Madison Square Garden sits directly above New York's Penn Station, a nexis of subway, commuter, and Amtrak trains. I just have thoughts of an Amtrak train with a WMD in the baggage. I presume and hope all train service under MSG will be suspended when Bush addresses the convention.

[BurbankKarl]

they said the trains were running during the convention....

"I think they want to try and shake our psyche again," says Jerry Hauer, an ABC News consultant and former director of New York City's Office of Emergency Management. "And I think the easy types of attacks right now are car bombs, truck bombs.

Of course we can't racially profile. Who are the terrorists? Why Arab men with mustaches between the ages of 18 and 40. The Olympics, The cruise ship, The Marine barracks, The embassies in Africa, The first Trade Center bomb, The Cole, The Trade Center II Airplane assault, but don't profile.

And the Democrats will scream that Bush failed to protect us, that he should apologize to the country, bla, bla, bla...

Hard to drive trucks into Manhattan Island. Van or larger vehicles are subject to random searches. If suicide bomb trucks are used, the bombs have to be assembled inside of Manhattan and loaded on to the van/trucks shortly before the attack. That means the terrorists have to be inside Manhattan somewhere right now.

Javitz, Empire State Building, Penn Station, Times Square, United Nations from what I can tell. I wonder if the red buildings are car bomb targets and the other red flashes are individual suicide bomber targets.

[Not a 60s Hippy]

I think that the United Nations should be shut down until we can GUARANTEE their safety. We don't want anything to happen to THEM so they should just GO HOME until further notice. DON'T CALL US, WE WILL CALL YOU!!!

[finnigan2]

If I were a terrorist, I would target New York if only because of it's symbolic importance but also in the hopes of killing as many Republican convention delegates as I could. Yes, New York in four weeks or no attack at all is my prediction.

He didn't have to get them from the White House because he WAS getting them from Sandy Berger. Just look at his December, February and March speeches.

You'll see the tone was "someone in the know".

Kerry's not-quite-spoken promise to "make all this war stuff go away"

Kerry speaks in nuance.

Boy, I sure hope they don't attack the UN building. I think that would be the very worst thing that could happen to us.      _{shhhhh, I think they're buying it.}

New York is already on heightened alert for the Republican National Convention

This could be a very dangerous time --- and as much as the democrats are hoping that something happens to disrupt the Republican Convention and would celebrate over it --- it could make people realize the terrorists would love a Kerry-Edward win and begin to open their eyes.

[Shermy]

terrorists would not tell you where they plan to hit. What is that thing?
