I do not buy for one second that our fed is born again just because Bush sits in the big chair. The more threats, the more there is a distraction, the more our individual liberties go down the crapper.
I do not trust them anymore than I did after Waco, Ruby Ridge and the rest. I do not trust them because no crimanal of yesterday in our Gov is being held accountable today. All we are hearing is about the newest thraet. I'm a little deeper than most I guess.

I was listening tonight to Chris Core on WMAL. He said he felt God sent us all this snow. I feel the same way. The past week hit a new level of tension here in the DC area. The terrorists are snowbound with the rest of us right now. It's so very nice and quiet. Still snowing. Thank you, God.
My biggest fear is they might assassinate a couple of Republican senators and then the Socialists would be in the majority unless the Govs reappoint some real Republicans to replace them. - Tom
Boy... You'll get the kudos from the bleecher creatures for that one...
Just because the cheerleaders are saying "Hooray for Our side" does not mean one stops thinking on his own. Judging by the date of your arrival, tells me you're on the tail end of the true meaning of tin foil. There was a time when it was used properly, not as a rebuttle.

I agree. Everybody I know who has to go down to Capitol Hill for work on a regular basis was worried this week, and with good reason. But the terrorists are not any better at driving in two and a half feet of snow than native Washingtonians are, and no doubt they're holed up in their miserable apartment somewhere in the DC suburbs, frustrated because they can't kill anybody--there's nobody available to kill since none of us can get our cars out of the driveway.
Chris is a good and godly man, and his insight is very wise. With George Bush at the helm of this country, God is with us.
***FBI.gov: "Statement for the Record of Robert S. Mueller, III Director Federal Bureau of Investigation on War on Terrorism Before the Select Committee on Intelligence of the United States Senate Washington, D.C." (STATEMENT SNIPPET: "The al-Qaeda network will remain for the foreseeable future the most immediate and serious threat facing this country. Al-Qaeda is the most lethal of the groups associated with the Sunni jihadist cause, but it does not operate in a vacuum; many of the groups committed to international jihad -- including the Egyptian al-Gama'at al-Islamiyya, Lebanese 'Asbat al-Ansar, Somali al-Ittihad al-Islami, and Algerian Salafist Group for Call and Combat (GSPC) --- offer al-Qaeda varying degrees of support. * FBI investigations have revealed a widespread militant Islamic presence in the US. * We strongly suspect that several hundred of these extremists are linked to al-Qaeda. * The focus of their activities centers primarily on fundraising, recruitment, and training. Their support structure, however, is sufficiently well-developed that one or more groups could be ramped up by al-Qaeda to carry out operations in the US homeland. Despite the progress the US has made in disrupting the al-Qaeda network overseas and within our own country, the organization maintains the ability and the intent to inflict significant casualties in the US with little warning. * The greatest threat is from al-Qaeda cells in the US that we have not yet identified. The challenge of finding and rooting out al-Qaeda members once they have entered the US and have had time to establish themselves is our most serious intelligence and law enforcement challenge.")

***CIA.gov: "DCI's Worldwide Threat Briefing (As Prepared for Delivery) The Worldwide Threat in 2003: Evolving Dangers in a Complex World" ARTICLE SNIPPET: "Mr. Chairman, as you know, the United States Government last week raised the terrorist threat level. We did so because of threat reporting from multiple sources with strong al-Qa'ida ties. The information we have points to plots aimed at targets on two fronts -- in the United States and on the Arabian Peninsula. It points to plots timed to occur as early as the end of the Hajj, which occurs late this week. And it points to plots that could include the use of a radiological dispersion device as well as poisons and chemicals. The intelligence is not idle chatter on the part of terrorists and their associates. It is the most specific we have seen, and it is consistent with both our knowledge of al-Qa'ida doctrine and our knowledge of plots this network -- and particularly its senior leadership -- has been working on for years.")

He noted that recent al Qaeda recordings threatening attacks on economic targets and U.S. allies were "unprecedented in their bluntness and urgency."") (February 4, 2003)

Hey, okay...I'll say it! The emporer has wonderful clothes!!

Really. If they're not in session they can't pass laws that hurt us. Whose side is Al Queda REALLY on....
This is repeated commonly, and is extremely wrong.
What if they cannot get the weapon to the target easily?
What if they are waiting to use the weapon(s) at a certain time/event or place?
"All we can do," Vice President Dick Cheney told a gathering of top administration officials to discuss bioterrorism, "is ask ourselves, Have we done everything we can to prevent an attack?.."
Obviously not.
Open borders, anyone?
Also coming at the end of his reign.
The Hitler analogy to the islamofascist OBL continues to hold water.
