You said -- "I'll go to church this morning, and pray to God (the real one), and thank Him for all our blessings with the full confidence that He is sovereign."
God was just as sovereign on 9/11/2006. And if we have several cities nuked, in the United States and millions of people killed -- God will be as sovereign then, too.
However, you might be dead (depending on what you do and where you are).

If there is a threat of attacks via suitcase nukes, then there probably will be attacks via germ warfare. (Typhoid?)
You said -- "If they had them they would have used them already."
Al Qaeda seems to have about a five-year planning cycle. They might not have acquired anything until recently (in the last year or so). So, this "if they had them they would have used them" argument is not too assuring, given the facts.

You said -- "And I won't let DENIAL come between my family and certain death, if I can help it."
Good reference, but many people here prefer denial.

You said -- "Laughable."
Yes, laughable, if they weren't serious on their side. It's only a matter of time that something happens. As Bush said -- we have to be right *100%* of the time (in preventing all terrorists plots) and they only have to be right -- *just one time* (that's all).
Those really are not too good odds for us preventing another attack here on our soil.

That's about one-third to one-half of the core Democrat vote. Do you suppose all that "retreat in defeat" talk from Pelosi, Murtha, Schumer, and Kerry has failed to mollify the beast?
Maybe more grovelling and Bush bashing is called for. /sarc
Seriously (and sadly) though, when it doesn't happen the Bush administration will not receive any credit from the very people he kept safe. They'll go right back to gnawing at his ankle.
As duplicitous as the Russians are, maybe they're providing technical upgrade and maintenance support.
You said -- "I don't recall any "Warning" before 9-11."
You weren't reading then. I saw it. I read it prior to the year 2000 (some time in 1999). I read Osama bin Ladin's warning to America and his intention to attack (i.e., his declaration of war).
Of course, if you had read it back then, you would have said "Who is that crazy nitwit would would *dare* to declare war on the United States? He's nothing but a crazy towelhead!"
Yeah, sure...

You said -- "I thought he was dead."
Well, our beloved and dear President Bush doesn't think he's dead -- especially since he just announced to the American public that the "hunt for bin Ladin" is *on* -- for sure.
Talk to the President. He'll tell you...

You said -- "Knowing what you know, why are you keeping our wife and children in war zones?"
In case you didn't know it, the entire United States is a war zone. How come you are still here?

El Shukrijumah doesnt need to use old USSR nukes. He has fresh material and is a nuculear engineer to boot.
See: http://www.canadafreepress.com/2006/paul-williams091806.htm
"To prepare for this mission, Shukrijumah and fellow al Qaeda agents Anas al Liby, Jaber A. Elbaneh, and Amer el Matti, purportedly were sent to McMaster University in Hamilton, Ontario, a facility that boasted a five-megawatt nuclear research reactor, the largest reactor of any educational facility in Canada. At McMaster, Adnan reportedly kept to himself, made few new friends or acquaintances, kept strictly to his studies, and left the facility at the same time as his colleagues.[xiii] He also managed to obtain employment at the reactor - - allegedly as a guide.[xiv] Adnan's"normal' behavior on the Hamilton campus, a source said, gave him entry to places where dangerous materials were stored without raising undue suspicion. Bit by bit, the al-Qaeda operative allegedly managed to pilfer approximately 180 pounds of nuclear material from the university - - enough to build several radiological bombs.[xv]"
Yikes!!!!!!!!
You are right and, this why they call it terrorist.
Because our government has been infiltrated by a bunch of eunichs, where are all the men from this country? Why can't we get them into the decision making positions?
Right, Ollie North said after 9/11 that was their biggest hit if they had anything bigger they would have used it instead.
who really believes a jihadist can sit on a suitcase and not use it. They would drive right to israel with it in a truck.
history has shown that when the sleeping giant was awakened all hell breaks out.
Sad to say my friend that the giant seems to fall back to sleep easily.The next 9/11 will just be totally blamed on Bush and I doubt we will have the balls to do what we should have done in the first place.
The way to do it is put certain "backers of terrorism" on notice AHEAD of time. "If there is another attack you will be held responsible and your country will be turned to glass within 24 hours "

You really think a suitcase bomb would solidify a common response ? Half the country will blame Bush for it ..You KNOW that . Half this country is TOTALLY brainwashed. We were attacked on 9/11 . You would have thought that would unify us and we are more divided then ever ( because of Dems wanting power more then survival of the country) . I doubt another attack will unify anything .Sad, but that's my take on it .
I thought he was dead. That is what the French are saying.
