Memo: NYC attack was scheduled for Sunday
MSNBC ^ | 10/8/2005

Posted on 10/08/2005 6:45:29 AM PDT by iagreewithyou

Details emerged about an alleged plot to attack the city’s subways with bombs hidden in bags and possibly baby strollers as local and federal officials jostled over the credibility of the threat.

A Department of Homeland Security memo obtained by The Associated Press said the attack was reportedly scheduled to take place on or around Sunday, with terrorists using timed or remote-controlled explosives hidden in briefcases, suitcases or in or under strollers.

The memo said that the department had received information indicating the attack might be carried out by “a team of terrorist operatives, some of whom may travel or who may be in the New York City area.”

Sounds to me like you've been reading too many democratic talking points. Only a moron would believe that fighting in the mideast would end all attacks here.

You're quite a contributor here on FR. I see that 90% of your posts say "OK." That's brilliant! Where did you get this great insight?

The OU bombing was a wet run. Just to see how alert we are.

If hundreds of Bomb blasts go off in New York, will we surrender and retreat from Iraq and Afghanistan,

Ask me on Tuesday.

True, but that is exactly what we were told: "We have to fight them over there so we don't have to fight them here." I would go as far as to say that only a moron would believe that fighting in the Middle East would not increase attacks here.

having plots in New York

...We DO NOT have 3 car bombs going off in every major city across the US on a daily basis.
...We DO NOT have every building with 10 stories or more being leveled across the US skyline.
...We DO NOT have heads rolling down the streets of the US as they are hacked from their respective bodies.
...The only squelching of religious freedoms across the US is coming from the enemy within, the ACLU.

Any questions?
