just in time for the FISA debate...
White House Issues Strategy for Terror Threats

The White House warned today that al-Qaeda is likely to intensify efforts to infiltrate terrorist operatives into the United States and expressed heightened concern about the potential use of improvised explosive devices, or makeshift bombs, in a domestic attack.

In a report issued today on U.S. national strategy for homeland security, the Bush administration also cautioned that the nation is "not immune" to homegrown Islamic radicalism, and it vowed to combat terrorists' use of the Internet to plan attacks, disseminate propaganda and recruit, train and fund operatives.

Its warnings about al-Qaeda, makeshift bombsand other threats distilled information contained in a variety of
previous reports, including a July National Intelligence Estimate and a February presidential directive.

1. "Yeah, this is the President- Get me Osama"
"How dare you interrupt my bath you fratboy!"

"Chill out- you can get back to your girls in a minute. I need you to blow something up here in America for me."

"Sure! How big and how much money for it?"

"Well, how about LA, any way you like, but be sure it's messy. I'll give you 100 million for it."

"I can get that much by turning myself in. 1 billion Euros."

"...fine."

2. Not a mention of how invading other countries caused escalated terror danger.
Here's a strategy: Stop killing people, and give peace a chance.
