Zarqawi Planning U.S. Hit?
http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,1037626,00.html

Until, Unless or IF a prominent Bush Administration official or officials is or are a target and or a victim of such an attack - I believe that Operation Northwoods 2005 is underway.

1. What color is this warning?
I'd like some credible information. Something originating with the BUshies isn't credible.

Al-Qaida Ability Diminishing, Agents Say

Senior Bush administration officials have warned in recent weeks that al-Qaida is regrouping for another massive attack, its agents bent on acquiring nuclear, chemical or biological weapons in a nightmare scenario that could dwarf the horror of Sept. 11.


But in Pakistan and Afghanistan — where Osama bin Laden and his chief deputy are believed to be hiding — intelligence agents, politicians and a top U.S. general paint a different picture.


They say a relentless military crackdown, the arrests last summer of several men allegedly involved in plans to launch attacks on U.S. financial institutions, and the killing in September of a top Pakistani al-Qaida suspect wanted in a number of attacks — including the 2002 killing of Wall Street Journal reporter Daniel Pearl and two failed assassination attempts against President Gen. Pervez Musharraf — have effectively decapitated al-Qaida.

4. I thought it was strange
they were talking about BinLaden after not talking about him for a long time. Nothing is working out for them so they have to do something or Bush will be a lame-duck president. He's not getting his judges again. I'm afraid he's going to make another attack talking about weapons again. :scared:

3. Bush promised GOP congress he'd regain his popularity soon and would
be able to push his Social Security plan through. Note the timing of Frist's turnaround on the Senate's SS timetable.

No wonder they claim that terror attacks are being planned.

7. soft targets?
excerpts for OP article

U.S. security agencies last week, the interrogated aide said al-Zarqawi has talked about hitting "soft targets" in the U.S., which could include "movie theaters, restaurants and schools."

The bulletin also notes the Iraq-based master terrorist's apparent belief that "if an individual has enough money, he can bribe his way into the U.S.," specifically by obtaining a "visa to Honduras" and then traveling across Mexico and the southern U.S. border.

Al-Zarqawi's aide also revealed that his boss, after pondering the absence of attacks in the U.S. in recent years, concluded that a lack of "willing martyrs" was to blame. Al-Zarqawi believes, according to his lieutenant, that "if an individual is willing to die, there was nothing that could be done to stop him," even in the U.S. There is no evidence, say intelligence agencies, that al-Zarqawi's agents have infiltrated the U.S. But authorities remain vigilant.

Security sources tell TIME that just last week the FBI sent out two nationwide bulletins warning of a nonspecific threat to railroads in Detroit and Los Angeles. On her visit to Mexico last week, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice issued her own reminder of the border's vulnerability. "There's no secret," Rice told reporters, "that al-Qaeda will try to get into this country ... by any means they possibly can."

From the Mar. 21, 2005 issue of TIME magazine

Anybody who replys to this story in a way that suggests that this is real needs a f***ing boot to the head.

The guy doesn't exist!

9. Just more Bush Scare Tactics
Things are not going well for Bush at the moment, concerning his social security plan. This is just another scare tactic to take the attention and heat away.

He used this a lot during the election campaign. For instance when his National Guard Service was questioned, or he slipped a little in the polls, suddenly the threat level was raised.

Bush is a big bully that likes to have control. He controls people by using fear. He's no different then the big bully in grade school that we all feared.

There is a definite pattern of using fear when things don't go his way.

He used fear to help support his reasons for war with Iraq as well, by insinuating a future with mushroom clouds. Because of this I voted for him. (Biggest mistake in my life.)

I'm more alert then I was before 9/11, but I will not let the bully scare me anymore. I will stand up to the bully from now on, and will assume everything he says is a lie. The Bush lied sticker on my truck will stay there until he is removed from office.
