Where have you been?
You've been missed.
Or did I just miss your posts lately?

To my mind, there is no difference between the question are "they" here (individuals part of or sympathetic to al Qaeda) and are "they" here (nuclear devices - - working or not).
Ever since 9/11 we have combed the country looking for individuals, yet rumors keep arising that some made it in or sleepers may still be buried here. Same question - - if they are here, why haven't they acted? Any one of us could go down to the corner supermarket (or the corner mosque) and take several innocent lives if our minds were twisted enough. Yet that has not happened. So either they are not here, or they are, and have either been prevented from acting or have chosen not to act, or both.
The same applies to any weapons they may possess.
You can kill large numbers of people any time. You can (theoretically) throw the most powerful country on the planet into total chaos only during very limited time frames.
Just as the law of averages demands that there will be an eventual success on their part (broken clock analogy) with repeated attack attempts, with repeated nuclear acquisition attempts over the past decade, there will be eventual success. You will not know with metaphysical certitude that this is the case unless you seize one or you see one go off. As Dr. Rice says, the smoking gun would be a mushroom cloud.
If we assume that "they" (people) are here, then you must assume that "they" (their weapons) are here too.
We should have been far more proactive in preparing civil defense procedures than we have, though we made up for lost time after 9/11. This has been coming our way for many years in every sense of that phrase. We are overdue. The world will never be the same once it happens - - for us or for them.
Danbury has a mint there.
Pinging you to post # 206.
The link you posted is a MUST-READ for anyone who plans to fly. What the heck has to happen for the idiots in charge of airline safety to understand PC BEHAVIOR HAS GOT TO STOP. It appears they require a multitude of deaths from this cause before they are prepared to take corrective action (profiling ME people -- you know, the ones who vow to kill Americans -- that's for the dense airline safety people's thick skulls). Homeland Security indeed!
Hi JP....this is off topic...but a few weeks ago did you mention something about the book "Assassin" by Ted Bell? I think that it was your suggestion...anyway if so, I wanted to thank you, bought it last week and finished it in 3 very late evenings of reading! Really great book...and I very rarely read non-fiction.
Wow...sadly our PC culture would keep most NEA teachers, and probably also some parents from following-up on the credentials of an odd ME sub.
I would hope that with the Beslan horror and the info. from last week regarding schools; that everyone with children and teachers are aware of subs, contractors, delivery people, and any other odd occurances that give them a bad gut feeling. Far easier to be embarrassed and wrong, than not report something and have something horrible happen.

It's official and final - our "friends" the Germans WON'T send troops to Iraq
After reading Velveeta's post regarding yet another airline incident where ME's are acting so strange; I was thinking of a good response. Thanks MamaDearest...you have given a perfect summation.
Dept. of Homeland Security has various warnings, etc., and yet when someone has serious concerns and reports an incident it seems that they are treated like idiots!!! I just wonder how many other incidents like this have been reported and not followed-up by condescending authorities! The two that I know about are only because the people involved felt so strongly about their encounters that they put them out into the MSM....otherwise we would not know about these occurances and their unacceptable outcomes!!
Welcome back JP! Are you back for real or am I just hallucinating your post?
Danbury has a mint there.
The Danbury Mint isnt a mint in the "makes US coins" sense. Its a collectibles company. Dolls, sports memorabilia, jewelry, die cast cars, etc.
I wouldnt consider that a real target though.
THANKS NW.
THAT'S EXTREMELY INTERESTING Karl
Thank you very much.

Did you know the meaning for the name Cynthia is "moon goddess?"
