BREAKING NEWS
Sources: Major terror attack planned this summer
Several U.S. officials said Tuesday that unnamed terrorists, possibly al Qaeda operatives, are in the United States and planning a "major attack" on U.S. soil this summer. Details on how to deal with the threat are expected to be released in the weekly FBI bulletin on Wednesday.

Build a shelter if you're American.
Sucks to have Bush at the head of this nice country
I feel sorry for pacifist americans who will have to pay the toll.

Exerpt from that story.
"Officials said the attacks might take place before the November presidential election in an attempt to affect the outcome, similar to the way the Madrid train bombings influenced Spanish elections."
We are not like Spain. The only thing a terrorist attack on the US would do is make us angry.
Not a good idea. Really, really bad. Wherever the terrorists would be traced to would no longer exist.
Edit: This really does belong in the Political Forum, but thanks for the chance to speak my mind on the subject before it is moved...

In other news, water is wet, the world is round, and sh*t stinks.
Did anyone really think that there aren't any bad guys left here?
Or that they all would have gone home if we never went into Iraq?

Well, Rickey's world might be essentially flat, since his world is the 90 feet between whatever base he's on and whatever the next base is. But trust me on this one, for the rest of us, the world is round.

doesn't say that. It says: "attack possible". Big deal! anything is possible. And you got to love the third paragraph, trying to forestall allegations that maybe this announcement tries to influence the outcome...

You know the 9/11 attacks were planned before Bush was in office right? Before all of this attack on Iraq right?

They are covering the basis.
This fall it will have a similar headline but replace "Summer" with "Winter"

Just in time for the elections too, good sign for Bush to ride his horse of salvation, and freedom of democracy on the backs of the attacks, if they happen.
How convenient.

Actually this would be more fear mongering and scaring people into voting for someone else.

The US is only now starting to dean (regarding terrorism) with what much of the world has been dealing with for some time. While I'm sure the terrorists have something planned, it is going to have to be something where we are blind-sided. There are plenty of "patriots" here willing to sacrifice their own lives to obtain hero status. We will no longer stand by and let terrorists hijack airplanes, trains, cars etc. etc. etc.
The rules of the game have change, and America will adjust.

Who says a terrorist attack would include planes? Or buildings?
My bet is they're going to try an come up with something new. But in any event there are plenty of vulnerable targets.
Have a nice summer, folks.

Yeah, I agree that's silly. What are we at now, lemon? Watch out, if we get any firm intelligence about an attack, it may go to strawberry.
And if an attack is about to happen, we'll go to plaid!
In all seriousness, Most people I know here in the U.S. understand that this terror alert system means absolutely nothing, and is just a way for the Department of Homeland Security to justify its funding. And perhaps a sign that Tom Ridge watches too much Star Trek.
