Tough guy. Psycho. A-hole.
Al-Qaida warns Muslims: Time to get out of U.S.
The new al-Qaida field commander in Afghanistan is calling for Muslims to leave the U.S. – particularly Washington and New York – in anticipation of a major terror attack to rival Sept. 11, according to an interview by a Pakistani journalist.
Abu Dawood told Hamid Mir, a reporter who has covered al-Qaida and met with Osama bin Laden, the attack is being coordinated by Adnan el-Shukrijumah and suggests it may involve some form of weapon of mass destruction smuggled across the Mexican border.
“Our brothers are ready to attack inside America. We will breach their security again,” he is quoted as saying. “There is no timeframe for our attack inside America; we can do it any time.”
“We have a different plan for the next attack,” he told Mir. “You will see. Americans will hardly find out any Muslim names, after the next attack. Most of our brothers are living in Western countries, with Jewish and Christian names, with passports of Western countries. This time, someone with the name of Mohamed Atta will not attack inside America, it would be some David, Richard or Peter.”
1. Bush is going to start a war on empty threats.
2. Security just got easier. There can’t be too many Arabs in the US with the nane David, Richard or Peter.
Aside from nuclear weapons, there is very little that terrorists can do that scares me one iota. 9/11 was a big event, but in the context of things, it was a minor blip… a group of about 100 people took over 4 airplanes and crashed them into significant targets. But how much damage did they really do to America from an infrastructure and human cost. Very little. The towers were gone, yet very few of us were affected except on an emotional basis. For almost everything, business continued as usual, and even things that were directly affected (stock exchange) were back to regular business within a week, just as if the tower attack had never happened.
9/11 was a wakeup call. Our government must stay alert and be aware that there are people out there that hate America and are willing to die in order to attack it. But we have gone waaaay overboard in our behavior, setting up ridiculous security measures, ignoring laws and constitutional rights, all in the name of ‘security’.
20,000 flights take off from American airports every day. Th edamage that one blow up flight would produce is minimal from a realistic perspective, but has built up to be an ‘end of world’ scenario.
Wake up people, most of you are running around with a Chicken Little “the sky is falling” attitude, when America really just had an acorn dropped on it’s head.
Watch the reaction in AMerica after the next attack (it will happen). It will be some minor thing like a bomb on a subway, but America’s knee jerk reaction will be to act like we are all under dire threat of immediate death.
Nukes.. that’s a different story.
I’m not worried. President Bush says that their interrogation techniques will protect us.
Yes, panic like old women. After all, if the terrorists can succeed in terrorizing us by just their usual saber-rattling, rather than planning and executing those costly and time-consuming actual terrorists acts, maybe they’ll stop with the real terrorism altogether… right?

It probably has, more then you know. Sometimes a little repugnance is needed for the greater good. Some of you really need to pull your head out of your ass and realize that.
sweet!!! I got front row seats (west coast)
13 – Iraq was once the larget producer and grower of dates along the Tigris and the Euphrates.
That might be impressive. I really don’t know. I’m not sure where dates are in the supermarket.
Can you tell us something about the agrocultural output that we can relate to? After all, most of us believe that most of the Middle East is a desert.
most of us believe that most of the Middle East is a desert.
You forgot to add a desert with lots of religious nut jobs.
#37. “Sometimes a little repugnance is needed for the greater good. Some of you really need to pull your head out of your ass and realize that.”
“We don’t torture.”
“Well, what do you do?”
“We can’t tell you that. It’s a secret.”
“Um -”
“Trust us, we’re the government. Whatever it is, you are safer for it.”
“Safer than what?”
“Oh, wait. Election coming up. No, you are not safe. You are in constant peril. The other guys will make you less safe.”
“Less safe than constant peril?”
“Yes. Constant EXTREME peril.”
“Oh. Is there anything you CAN tell me about what you are doing, so I can judge for myself whether it is actually making us safer?”
“No. You are safer. Trust us.”
“But the last time I trusted you, you told me that Iraq was buying uranium -”
“Traitor. You are giving aid and comfort to the terrorists. And you know what we do to them.”
“Um. No, actually I don’t. But I can guess. I’ll be quiet now.”
“Good.”
Doug, you just don’t get it. Hopefully you won’t meet the end of the terrorist sword, but if you do, take comfort in the fact that no captured terrorist was mistreated in any way. And if your really lucky, the one who got you was released on a technicality, courtesy of some bleeding heart, scum sucking lawyer.
Enjoy!
#42. No, I do get it. I know that intelligent interrogators don’t need to torture captives. And I do know that coercion produces unreliable information. And I do know that we have never needed torture to keep our country safe, even when it was facing enemies with 1m times the resources and deviousness of these dumbwads.
And I do know you just proved my point – when you don’t have any good arguments, resort to trying to induce terror.
Sound familiar?

What the “F”????
gq, I’m sure Doug “got it”. Only, you don’t “get it”. You are willing to sacrifice your freedoms for a small amount of temporary, shaky, security. When you do that, you got nothing left to live for.
gq, why do you hate America?
Doug and Mr Fusion maybe you’ll get your wish and Hillary will be sitting in the White house in 2009. Then maybe we can go back to a kinder, gentler government and Al Qaeda can build up its resources for another strike just like it did when her husband was President. Nothing but touchy, feely liberalism. I wonder what female intern Hillary will be caught up in a sex scandal with.
Don’t ya just love terrorism? Yer damned if you take any necessary action to effectively defend yourself and damned if you don’t.
#45. Ah, the rhetorical brilliance we have all come to expect from the partisan extremists. “You dont like torture? Well, well – youd vote for a lesbian!”
And if AQ gets the chance to hit us again, it will probably be because we are spending all our dough fiddle-farking around in Iraq instead of hardening the homeland against attack.
And perhaps neither candidate will have the pro-torture position you like, gquaglia. Perhaps I will have the chance to vote for liberal nancy-boy John McCain. Who probably does not know anything about the useless things people will say when they are tortured …
And *plonk*
Hmm, do you suppose they watched a copy of “True Lies”? I loved that movie but gives me the creeps now.
Why do people come unglued when it comes to terrorism? Lets play a What if game. What if the USA government makes a law stating terrorism is illegal? Just like there is a law stating drinking and driving is illegal. Does the drinking and drivng law prevent people from drinking and driving? I think not. Will spying, limiting freedoms, torture and making laws stop terrorism? I think not. To solve the drinking and driving problem all people (that means every single citizen) must not drink and drive. To solve terrorism, all people who believe in a cause so deeply they are willing to kill themselves must stop. Anyone have any ideas how to change this kind of behavior?
The big question is why should everyone else give up freedoms just so the terrorist can do what he will do anyway?
Terrorist just kill like all other murderers. It is the government that changes the law and limits your freedoms.
I was going to say something funny but you guys obviously don’t have a sense of humor.
Jeez — consider the source of this “information”. WorldNetDaily is the home of wackjobs of a major order; I mean the ad at the bottom of the page was for a keychain that detects nuclear radiation for God’s sake. Take this info with a grain of salt! And john, I surprised you’d link this thing…

And that is getting more plausible every day, since we have 14,000 of them – that we know about – locked-up in our prisons. Not to mention at least 18,700 who have already been released. That makes about 33,000 people – and their friends and families – who would like to spit in our face.

In Iraq, Army jailers are a step ahead. Last month they opened a $60-million, state-of-the-art detention center at Camp Cropper, near Baghdad’s airport. The Army oversees about 13,000 prisoners in Iraq at Cropper, Camp Bucca in the southern desert, and Fort Suse in the Kurdish north.
Almost 18,700 have been released since June 2004, the U.S. command says, not including many more who were held and then freed by local military units and never shipped to major prisons.
The Navy is planning long-term at Guantanamo. This fall it expects to open a new, $30-million maximum-security wing at its prison complex there, a concrete-and-steel structure replacing more temporary camps.
Does Bush still wish he could close Guantanamo? [if it wasn’t for those pesky “activist” judges on the Supreme Court?]

I had known about the attacks of 9-11 in detail since 1997. I told many people about them in detail in the intervening years, including an officer of the state of Florida, a government security officer, law enforcement, 911, and many others with pictures and diagrams just like an official briefing. They more or less ignored it and some insulted me and my intelligence.
Mass publicity was the solution to forcing the commandeers to call off their plans for 9-11, and that required the backing and copoperation of the media and the American people, but these were not forthcoming.

Erm… sparks a bit of a resemblance to america mate.
“9/11 was a big event, but in the context of things, it was a minor blip”
I agree with your statement on this and considering over 100,000 people died in a tsunami which has had far less press coverage than the precious twin towers. Who is to value ones life over another? Sure people working in the twin towers may have been on a large salary, worked for a wealthy country but this doesnt make their lives any more valuable than a fisherman in sri-lanka.
If you look at any country that has tried to invade/occupy Afganistan for instance, the soviets tried it and failed, as did the british.
The fact of the matter is that there will be NO end to the disturbances and violence whilst foreign troops are inside the country. History has a habbit of repeating itself.
Its obvious they are planning another attack. They also enjoy spelling out their attacks in advance.
This is a game of catch us if you can.
I wouldn’t put anything past them.
When you don’t see the guy at dunckin dounuts its time to go………

They just attacked. Looks like they scored a big hit too. Just look around at all the neo-cons and nut cakes screaming:
“The sky is falling, the sky is falling”.
“Darn, we need to torture more people”.
“We need to build another prison to hold all those who possess a Koran.”
And all it cost them was one press release to get everyone’s shorts in a knot.
#40 – I said, “most of us believe that most of the Middle East is a desert.”
Then you said, “You forgot to add a desert with lots of religious nut jobs.”

So it’s like Alabama with fewer farms.
I won’t find fault with the notion that Muslims are religious nut jobs. I just want to be sure that all religions are included in the nut job catagory because, well, God isn’t real.

That’s only if you don’t know history. Thanks for that info, Joe.

53. Too bad you didn’t know about the internet, email or newspapers before 9/11.

Lets not forget people, we put some of those nutjobs in power. Bin Laden was a CIA asset during the Afghan/ Soviet conflict. They do a great job of training our enemies. Our stupid policies of toppling and replacing governments in that region is a major contributor to this morass (I know, I know, why do you hate America). Facts are facts, Eisenhower saw this when leaving the presidency, warning us of the miltary industrial machine, and the politicians have allowed this elite to lead us down this path.
Ditto Lee Harvey Oswald. Next time, they’ll have to get Bin Laden to sign a non-competition clause.
