"The tipster made similar calls earlier this year, warning of an August terror strike."
I remember those devastating strikes last month. Damn near brought our country to it's knees, didn't they?
Don't discount it. Al Qaeda was originally wanted to attack us in July 2001, but for some reason they postponed it.
So just because they didn't manage to attack us in Aug or early September ( which were some time frames I also read), that doesn't mean they aren't planning to attack us later.
They still think they can duplicate their election success in Spain.
Maybe that's what Kerry is counting on, that Al Qaeda will scare us to vote for Kerry, as the Spaniards voted in the socialists, and dumped Aznar the guy who was really going after Al Qaeda.
I certainly hope they have read the American people wrong.
You can make all the jokes you want about this, but I firmly believe in the old addage: an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. Vigilance never hurt.
