Two things to remember in light of this apparent new threat to the inauguration, possibly carried out by Somalis:
1) In October - a specific AQ threat that US Govt buildings will be attacked with suicide bombers (see below)
Dated: October 6, 2008
The FBI and Department of Homeland Security today issued an analytical “note” to U.S. law-enforcement officials cautioning that al-Qaida terrorists have in the past expressed interest in attacking public buildings using a dozen suicide bombers each carrying 20 kilograms of explosives.
Authors with the U.S. Office of Intelligence and Analysis added that they have “no credible or specific information that terrorists are planning operations against public buildings in the United States.” The FBI and DHS analysts said they were releasing the note because “it is important for local authorities and building owners and operators to be aware of potential attack tactics.”
According to the note obtained by NBC News, a “recently discovered audio recording of al-Qa‘ida training sessions conducted several years ago provides instruction to potential suicide terrorists on seizing a publicly accessible building and damaging or destroying it with explosive charges.”

2) Nov. 9, 2008 - AQ message threatens to “OUTDO 9/11” and in it explicitly says that bin Laden is himself closely following preparations for an attack against the US and aims to “change the face of world politics and economics”.
**** The operative is then quoted as saying that “this will be shown by the fact that we now control a major part of the south of Somalia”. http://hotair.com/archives/2008/11/10/aq-wants-to-outdo-911-in-new-attack-on-us/
This statement seemed very odd to me at the time. But if an attack (whether today or not) involves Somali suicide bombers, then it makes perfect sense.
They just want some international publicity, and this is the way to get it.
Obama mania is a cult.
That dude is still waiting for the dawning of the Age of Aquarius.
Why do that? Far as I’m concerned, the nation has turned away from God and now he’s going to let us be vexed by our enemies. This could be just the start.
every day is good day to buy ammo...
Why pray for a safe inauguration? Because it is the right and faithful thing to do...that’s why.
The threat has been a coup by someone from Kenya. It happened.
(chuckle)
How ya doin, Laz?
Geez, you’d think that the day after Martin Rufus King day, and the day of the first afro-amerikan el presidente that the east african islamists would at least take a day off.
Don't feel detached. It won't last. A deceiptful person always gets caught. Some people are easily swayed and chose to ignore the truth or are too ignorant to see what he is. They will, just wait and watch and it won't take long.
LOL
I call BS ... the first of many Obama Administration fake crises to make him look presidential.
All future terror attacks are probably planned from within the Obama Addministration...
Wait, do I have the right President?
Pretty good, bud... recession hasn’t effected me yet.... Luckamataz.... how are you?
Doing very well, all things considered. Family is healthy, bidness is good even with the recession. No complaints at all.
Just celebrated my 21st Wedding Anniversary. She’s got amazing patience, to say the least...(chuckle)
Gimme a break. Why are we being spoon fed this baloney???
No one in the media seems to understand how terrorists think.
Terrorists attack WEAKNESS at UNSUSPECTING MOMENTS and according to a LONG RANGE PLAN. When are analysts going to grow up and realize this is not just a bunch of nuts who go “Hey - the inauguration is this week - let’s go after it yeah!”
They will wait until near the middle of his Presidency. When Iran is stronger because of stupid deals we’ll make with them. When Israel is weaker because of our own pro-Arab support. When everyone is sleeping again happy that “it’s been 2 years and Obama has kept us safe!”
THAT is when they’ll try again. And it won’t be Washington, it’ll be the financial center, once again.
Not a chance. No enemy of the U.S. will destroy this golden opportunity they have with Obama as president. They know he will appease them at every turn, or at least as much as he can get away with.
Nothing is going to happen. All foreigners, including terrorists are supposed to love 0bama, like the media does, right?
Sounds like they’ve been watching 24.
