Terrorist dry runs in the US?
« on: July 25, 2007, 06:43:52 AM »
San Diego, July 7. A U.S. person — either a citizen or a foreigner legally here — checked baggage containing two ice packs covered in duct tape. The ice packs had clay inside them rather than the normal blue gel.

Milwaukee, June 4. A U.S. person’s carryon baggage contained wire coil wrapped around a possible initiator, an electrical switch, batteries, three tubes and two blocks of cheese. The bulletin said block cheese has a consistency similar to some explosives.

Houston, Nov. 8, 2006. A U.S. person’s checked baggage contained a plastic bag with a 9-volt battery, wires, a block of brown clay-like minerals and pipes.

Baltimore, Sept. 16, 2006. A couple’s checked baggage contained a plastic bag with a block of processed cheese taped to another plastic bag holding a cellular phone charger.

it is just a matter of time

once the dems pull us out of Iraq, they, the cheekboness, will be able to concentrate on the next attack on US soil ....

,,,, and of course it will be Bush's fault when it happens...

unlike the US, our enemy has time and patience on their side

They already had a dry run on some Boston bridges a few months ago, but they screwed up and left the lights connected allowing us to foil the evil doers.

Wow, you actually believe that "they'll follow us home" stuff?

By this logic US forces must stay in Iraq forever to ensure that only our troops get killed. Even if 10,000 more US troops die until Iraq is secure, it wont matter... History tells us this endeavor will FAIL. I wish Bush had a brilliant plan.. heck I wish he had a plan at all, or a clue.

Iran was already "secure" with a strong military and intact infrastructure when the US installed the Shah of Iran.. the US bolstered Iran's military and intelligence services with billions. The CIA created & trained SAVIC (aka Savik), known by people in the mid east as worse than Nazi gestapo.

No matter how hard the US tried, the people of the mid east, and in Iran, rejected the US puppet and kicked the Shah out.

So I ask you, why, or HOW, will the US succeed in Iraq when we failed in Iran?

The people of the mid east didn't want us there before, which is partly why 9/11 happened in the 1st place.. and now that Bush has poked the hornets nest... I can only imagine now they're really pissedoff.

Edit:
Declassified CIA documents relating to Iran:
http://www.nytimes.com/library/world/mideast/iran-cia-intro.pdf

Speaking of "terrorism", the CIA engineered the bombing a cleric's home in a disinformation campaign to turn the country's Islamic religious community against Mossadegh's .gov.. isn't that what Bush now calls "state sponsored terrorism"?? if the CIA does it, it's justified... if Iran does it; its "terror"... is it any wonder they don't trust a damn thing the US has to say

"They" already paid 2 visits to the WTC before iraq, or had you forgotten. The first was a successfuly bomb blast in the basement that barely failed to cause significant damage and I'm sure you are aware of the other. Threats of similar and other attacks on US soil have been made repeatedly, why do you think they won't try again?

Sorry mate but it has nothing to do with when the dems do this or when the dems do that , for that matter i doubt it would matter  if the republicans did the same either , the terrorist couldnt give a shi#$e about who is in power only about striking it's percieved enemy ,perhaps if you all concentrated on that  rather than getting ready to lay the blame  on someone who isnt yr particluar political persuasion you might foil the terrorists.They allready see the west as a failure  with a lack of will power.
They are going to strike again and it dont matter who is in power    .

You can't stop a determined killer. 2hr security checks at airports probably aren't accomplishing much, but since attacks not occuring isn't quantifiable it's impossible to tell.

Simple solution... the name requires a mouthful of phlegm to pronounce, they get a body cavity search and no carry-on luggage and they are only allowed to exit the country, not enter it... eliminates 99%+ of the threat.

It's great that they can report on the four incidents over the last 11 months because they found them......how many made it through that they can't report on?

Terrorist dry runs or stupid citizens playing games.

Forget Dems and Repubs, both are just a bunch of do nothing morons!
 
IRAQ has used valuable monies and manpower that we could have been using to completely secured our borders and ports of entry!  Wished we would have just focused on Bin Laden and securing our borders.  :rolleyes:

One nutjob compared with millions in this islamic fascist movement who want to kill us, dont mind losing their own life in the process and aren't shy about admitting it???  They are even touted as heros in their homeland and in mosques around the world.   EVERYONE agreed mcveigh had to die!

I'd sit next to 20 guys named mcveigh in a plane before i'd get in with a crowd of middle easterners.
