Al-Qaida Makes New 9/11 Threat
An American member of al-Qaida warned President Bush on Tuesday to end U.S. involvement in all Muslim lands or face an attack worse than the Sept. 11 suicide assault, according to a new videotape.
Wearing a white robe and a turban, Adam Yehiye Gadahn, who also goes by the name Azzam al-Amriki, said al-Qaida would not negotiate on its demands.
"Your failure to heed our demands ... means that you and your people will ... experience things which will make you forget all about the horrors of September 11th, Afghanistan and Iraq and Virginia Tech," he said in the seven-minute video.

I can see the myriad of holes in our security system even in a city like NY & believe the next attack might involve more than 1 city.
I voted 2xs for Bush but find him weak on plugging up those holes.

Yes, I do believe Republicans are better on the war on terror. No matter what other failings people say President Bush had, he handled 9-11, very well. I do believe there will btw other attacks, no doubt about it. It is not the safe place in the USA, it was at one time. I belive it may involve school children. I believe this apostate in California refered to VA Tech, shootings, and I wonder if that was a hint-a roo.

One thing that struck me is he is threatening that we must leave all Muslim lands. Well, how many Muslims have to inhabit a country before it qualifies as a Muslim land? Is Indonesia Muslim? What about France - or parts thereof? And if parts of France qualify as "Muslim lands" because neighborhoods have been given over to the local imams and Paris police are scared to go in there, then what about certain neighborhoods in Michigan?
Well if you actually pressed this guy and most other Jihadists, my guess would be that at the very least it would include Spain, Portugal, Greece, parts of the former Yugoslavia, and parts of Hungary and Austria, amongst other places. Islamic law considers any territory that has ever been under Islamic rule to belong to Islam, and if it's ever lost to infidels, it's the duty of every Muslim to work to see it reclaimed.
The question of how many Muslims are needed to constitute a claim on a given country is a good one though. I've wondered that myself.

Williams maintains that al-Qaida is not content on blowing up one nuclear device or even simply a "dirty" nuke — but wants to explode real nuclear devices in seven U.S. cities simultaneously.
Williams says these cities are New York, Washington, D.C., Las Vegas, Miami, Boston, Houston, and Los Angeles.
Mueller seems to confirm this claim of multiple attacks, saying both New York and Washington would be likely targets. Already Williams says the U.S. government has Washington webbed by "choke" points to detect nuclear material.

'Doom' Scenario Would Decimate U.S. Cities
A Hiroshima-style bomb detonated in the heart of New York City would "obliterate” downtown, kill or severely injure half the people in the two-mile blast area, and expose many tens of thousands to radiation that would lead to cancer.
That’s the sobering disclosure from a soon-to-be-released report compiled by a blue ribbon panel of experts.
And the same horror would unfold in any major American city, according to the report to be released by the Preventive Defense Project at Harvard and Stanford University.

Of course they do.
They are terrorists for crying out load - fear is the only weapon they got. They will continue to try and intimidate people for as long as they exists.
It's up to us if we let them succeed.
Terrorists cannot hurt a nation - all their damage is psychological.

I would have to say that not all of their damage is psychological, it is primarily psychological but not all. The problem is that since vietnam psychological damage has trumped actual physical damage when it comes to win/loss scenarios. We fared pretty well after 9/11 but it caused many divisions among various people once the dust settled and some of those divisions will have an impact on our ability to prevent the next big strike and our ability to respond to the aftermath.

AQ wants to strike at the US. What a stunning revelation (sarcasm). One of the reasons is to keep the west sending forces into the Middle East (especially Iraq right now) so that they can kill more of them. It's easier to kill westerners in the Middle East, Central Asia, etc than in the Western Countries. That's why the use of large numbers of troops plays into their hands. The west (US and NATO) are trying to simultaneously occupy two countries (Iraq and Afghanistan). That leaves few resources to deal with other threats that may arise in Europe, Africa and the Americas.
Bob, I agree, they don't much care who is in office, as long as it's somebody that can be manipulated (the last two US Presidents being prime examples).

Al-Qa'eda prepares for a new wave of terror
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/main.jhtml?xml=/news/2007/05/31/walqaeda31.xml&page=1
For several years after the terrorist attacks on September 11, they were engaged in little else than avoiding capture and fleeing the American-led offensive in Afghanistan.
Today, by contrast, they are probably secure enough to give strategic direction to al-Qa'eda cells across the world. Once, al-Qa'eda was best thought of as a "franchise" operation: a brand name adopted by numerous terrorist groups operating independently of the key leaders around bin Laden, who British counter-terrorism officials call "core al-Qa'eda".--Excerpt

I am sure there are plenty of those types of threats on tapes just waiting for the media to air them 24:7.
The reality is we have so many people in our country illegally that every day a threat exists.

^^^This is true w/ a border w/ holes...but somethings in the air.
The NJ-NY Path trains in the last couple weeks now have armed national guardsman on board, something we didn't even have @ any time even surrounding 9/11.

All of the author's alleged US target cities seem legit, especially Houston as I'm sure Al Qaeda would love to trigger a nuke in Bush's own backyard.
Plus, the region is a major American energy hub; hitting it would cripple America economically.
I pray to God that none of this happens, but we'd be fools to suspect Al Qaeda's leadership would not hope otherwise.
The world's intel networks have to work together on this; after all, if Washington or New York could be hit by a terrorist nuke, anyplace can.

Typically there has been "a two-year arc between major attacks to develop the plan and execute it," Miller said.
Al Qaeda is "on a bell curve and they're getting more effective" at planning new strikes while pushing propaganda to inspire others to "take that ball and run with it."
"They're counting on both happening at once," Miller*** said. "They're better at this than they were before and they're thinking about it differently."

Report confirms terror dry run
A newly released inspector general report backs eyewitness accounts of suspicious behavior by 13 Middle Eastern men on a Northwest Airlines flight in 2004 and reveals several missteps by government officials, including failure to file an incident report until a month after the matter became public.
According to the Homeland Security report, the "suspicious passengers," 12 Syrians and their Lebanese-born promoter, were traveling on Flight 327 from Detroit to Los Angeles on expired visas. U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services extended the visas one week after the June 29, 2004, incident.
The report also says that a background check in the FBI's National Crime Information Center database, which was performed June 18 as part of a visa-extension application, produced "positive hits" for past criminal records or suspicious behavior for eight of the 12 Syrians, who were traveling in the U.S. as a musical group.
In addition, the band's promoter was listed in a separate FBI database on case investigations for acting suspiciously aboard a flight months earlier. He was detained a third time in September on a return trip to the U.S. from Istanbul, the details of which were redacted.

How did TB traveler elude border guards?
WASHINGTON - The government is investigating how a globe-trotting tuberculosis patient drove back into the country even after his name was put on a no-fly list provided to border guards.
The failure exposed a major gap in a system that is supposed to keep the direst of diseases from crossing borders.
But the communications breakdown at a U.S.-Canada border crossing was only one of a series of missed opportunities to catch the Atlanta man and his wife who seemed determined to elude health officials.

Ex-Con Tells of Terror Donations at Florida Mosque
MIAMI -- An ex-convict testified Thursday that he knew suspected al-Qaida operative Jose Padilla and a purported terrorism supporter while attending a Florida mosque, and that he considered becoming a fighter himself for Islamic groups overseas.
Herbert Atwell, 38, said Adham Amin Hassoun frequently gave speeches at the mosque in the late 1990s about Muslim causes and sought to raise money and identify recruits. Hassoun also brought in mujahedeen from Chechnya, Palestine and elsewhere in the world to talk to men at the mosque, Atwell said.
"He would talk about giving to mujahedeen fighters all the time," Atwell testified. "At a certain point in time, the brothers didn't want him to get on the podium any more, because it was the same message over and over and over."

IMHO as long as they occasionally put someone on tv somewhere that there's a camera to record it, they consider it a good day. We, as a nation, don't want a repeat of 9/11. So the "fear factor" still works on us to some degree.
When it was the Marines barracks, the USS Cole, American embassies, the Blackhawk tragedy and things a little farther afield than our shores, we were genuinely concerned and very heartfeltly saddened for our fellow countrymen. But when it "hit home" with a resounding thud, it made a lasting impression on us all. It robbed us of our naivety and feelings of safety/security.
Are we ever going to be completely safe? Not "here (earth)." We're thankfully still an open and free society. But when the threats no longer hold the effect they once did (distance and time), when hollow threats to scare us make us complacent...then we're the most vulnerable - no matter who's in the White House.

I failed to add an important PS to the above message. I hope whoever is in the WH at that time, hasn't diverted all our funds again to leave our ships rusting in the harbors, army depleted with no new updated equipment, airforce with planes who have no maintenance/spare parts and morale under the carpet, it's so low, etc...that has happened in 2 of the last 5 administrations.
God bless our military, their families and our beloved vets!
