Former CIA Director George Tenet: Al Qaeda is in America
Fox News ^ | 27 Apr 2007 | Unknown

Al Qaeda is in the United States, former CIA Director George Tenet says, and he’s surprised there have not been more attacks on American soil.

“I do know one thing in my gut,” Tenet writes in his upcoming book. “Al Qaeda is here and waiting.”

Tenet, who served as CIA chief from 1997 to 2004, questioned how Al Qaeda hasn’t sent “suicide bombers to cause chaos in a half-dozen American shopping malls on any given day.”

Tenet's 549-page book, "At the Center of the Storm," published by HarperCollins, is set to hit the bookstores on Monday. ...more

They are here. They are waiting. Any place where there’s a gated community of Muhammadans, it’s there to hide al Qaida (using logic, an untapped resource for liberals).

What they do not understand is that there are enough of us with guns and ammo who will be the 21st Century Minutemen/women and who will defend this Country.

The Taliban and al Qaida WILL be destroyed. You can bet your twelve gauge shotgun on that!

So why didn’t this sorry excuse for a leader do something about it? This ass-hat weeps during his resignation, accepts his Presidential Freedom Medal, and now turns and attacks the Administration. Of course 60 Minutes gives him a platform to do so too, as his book will sink like a stone.

If they attacked here it would strengthen George Bush and the Republicans and their interest is in strengthening a different party so after the next election things will be better for them. Brian York’s piece on the National Security Democrats hits the benefits to Al Qadeda to supporting and electing Democrats.

If they know they're here, why don't they do something about it, like deport them?

Maybe because Tenet only knows it "in his gut"?

This man presided over the largest, most deadly intelligence failure in US History on 9/11. He then went on to screw up the intelligence on Iraq.

A decent society would have shunned him, or he would have been denied food, fire, and shelter within a day's ride of Washington, D.C. If he were a decent man he'd go live out his days in obscurity.

BTW, where's Louis Freeh these days?

= = =

Because . . . .

the puppet masters helped create them and put them here. They are held cocked and ready to fire on the puppet masters’ orders . . . at least, it appears that way. Some could be loose canons, but I doubt it.

There are plenty of forces at work to make our government more than a little schizophrenic. A very well placed contingent is determined to create the North Am Union as well as the global government. They’ve almost brought it to pass. Won’t take a lot longer.

Because they know what the reaction would be. Because they know that this would pull the rug out from under the Democrats. Wait until our combat troops leave the Middle East.

He FEELS it in his gut, well show me the proof, if they were here they would be blowing things up, it is what they do
= = =

I suspect that allows him to say or infer some things he couldn’t otherwise let out.

Jihadi’s follow orders. And the puppet master behind their masters are the real string pullers.

Actually, ALL evil will be destroyed.

However, between now and then, it’s scheduled to be very interesting.

Absolutely correct.

Attacking Iraq worked in showing American unpredictability and resolve to change world political support for terror. They know now they need far more a timid leadership in place if they want to be successful in getting back to the status quo they had before 9/11.

Democratic leadership is far easier to predict and manipulate using terror and lawfare on the global stage.

Exactly! They learned from 9/11 how swift and furious America strikes when you attack us. (I think they actually fear this Administration). So instead they take their time, play the victim and do their best to help Americans forget about the threat they pose. They'll do their best to put a bleeding heart liberal into office so they can attack again with less fear of retaliation.

If they did blow up a bunch of shopping malls, I think all bets would be off and they would be rounded up. Some would be imprisoned, the rest deported. I suspect that they are here, but they have restrained themselves because they know there is a risk that the American people will turn on them, ditch the PC tolerance Kumbaya stuff and drive them into the ocean. I would certainly enjoy participating in that campaign.
