*YAWN* Still waiting for that 4th of July videotape...

I've honestly never got these "Bring it on!" posts.

BTW, we are NOT as ready as ever. I don't think American security has increased one bit.

Bin Laden planing fresh terror for September

What a coincidence--so are we [for him].

[Migraine]

The biggest terror he could do on me at this point would be if someone turned up his maggot-infested corpse and showed me a picture of it. Brutal.

[UnBlinkingEye]

Yep, the urban legend of massive 7/4/02 attacks have come and gone with only a foot note to a single Egyptian Limo driver. So immediately after, it's time to start a new urban legend -- 9/11/02.

The real attack will come on Halloween or Thanksgiving or Christmas or New Years.

Ummm, and what have you done about that? This should be reported repeatedly until that person is arrested for making terroristic threats, IMHO.

"What if we just nuke Mecca, Riyadh, Baghdad and the other large-scale nests on september 10th? Think that would distract them a little?

I say "GO FOR IT"!

ll go back to what I said on this board the night of 911: the people who started
this will rue the day they conceived it, and alot of slop is going to get cleaned up
in the process, stuff that should have been done in the last 8 years.

Maybe you're right, but we sure are off to a slow start.

I
endeavor to redemocratize the culture which has been expropriated by elitist
liberals.


I get it. You're a democrat.

Bin Laden threatens new terror!!!

Oh no. Can someone please tell me if the 4th of July weekend is over yet? Is it safe to come out of my bunker? I've been cowering in here since June 30th!

Yeah, bin landen threatens new terror! What a joke.

It's funny. If the government doesn't send out some warning when they hear something and a terrorist attack does occur, then the government is blamed because they SHOULD have warned us. If they do send out a warning, which would logically make the terrorists back off, and nothing happens, then the government is accused of crying 'wolf'. If you don't want to heighten your own awareness when a warning comes out then don't. Frankly, most of these warnings are supposed to be restricted to law enforcement and the like, not the general public. But our ever nosey, er vigilant, media feels like they must blab everything.

"we know all of their commo, so we certainly should be able to locate them, eh? Easiest way to thwart attacks is to take out the attackers, planners, command levels...so why are we not doing that?"

I would think you know these guys don't stay in one place very long. But if you think it's so easy, why aren't you doing it?

[Ditter]

LOL Your comment about the smelly turbans cracked me up. I have often thought that when I see pictures of the filthy scum. One of those guys could never sneak up on you or hide in ambush, you could smell them coming.

What happened to the July 4 video? Couldn't they figure out how to edit the strings out of the picture?
