Homeland Security Chief Michael Chertoff Warns of Increased Summertime Al Qaeda Threat

www.foxnews.com

WASHINGTON — U.S. counterterror officials are warning of an increased risk of an attack this summer, given Al Qaeda's apparent interest in summertime strikes and increased Al Qaeda training in the Afghan-Pakistani border region.

On Tuesday, Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff told the editorial board of The Chicago Tribune that he had a "gut feeling" about a new period of increased risk.

Report finds 'gaping hole' at Homeland Security

Ah summer..
Blue skies, swimming, lots of sunshine.. terrorist attacks..

Between this "gut feeling", that "secret document" describing
an al-Qaeda terror "spectacular", and the fact that a quarter
of the top jobs at DHS are empty (the ones that are filled are
political appointees), things don't bode well.

They've always said its not a matter of IF, but WHEN,
and I think they're tryin to tell us SOON.

Yeah I just saw this headline this morning, "Al-Qeada in the U.S. or ON ITS WAY"


If they 'KNOW' they are here or 'on their way', why dont we just round them up or stop them before they get here?
Seriously, this is ludicrous.

I bet its nukes this time guys

Yet another summer of Fear...

Bush Administration Prays For More Dead Americans

'Officials worry of summer terror attack' reads an Associated Press headline today as Americans are served up their weekly dose of bellicose fearmongering.

But officials don't worry about another attack, they crave one - to save a doomed foreign policy and bolster approval ratings that have now slumped to an all time low.

This is not the conclusion of paranoid tin-foil hat wearing conspiracy theorists, but a viewpoint held by major University foreign policy analysts like Lt.-Col. Doug Delaney, chair of the war studies program at the Royal Military College in Kingston, Ontario, who recently told the Toronto Star that "The key to bolstering Western resolve is another terrorist attack like 9/11 or the London transit bombings of two years ago."

It was also explicitly expressed in a 2005 GOP memo, which yearned for new attacks that would "validate" the President's war on terror and "restore his image as a leader of the American people."

As we can see, Bush administration is strong only when terror attacks Happen - and I also think, they are the only ones who want them to happen. American people do not want that. People of Middle East do not want that. People of Europe do not want that. Therefore U.S. government is using Al-Qaeda to further its agenda while praying for more dead Americans at home to reinvigorate popular support behind policies that are detested by the majority of the American people.

This bit of news (thanks to loam) was in the
"Al Qaeda Cell in the U.S. Or On Its Way, According to New Intel" thread:


Red Alert: Has Santorum Let the Cat Out of the Bag?

“In an alarming display of fearmongering, former Republican Senator Rick Santorum has suggested that a series of ‘unfortunate events,’ namely terrorist attacks, will occur within the next year and change American citizen's perception of the war.

“Santorum went on to clearly imply that terror attacks will occur inside America which will alter the body politic and lead to a reversal of the anti-war sentiment now dominating the country.”

Santorum's implications have me seriously irked. His comments come
off as extremely malicious, and ill-willed. It's like he just can't wait to
get back at the American public for his failed re-election. I think he
truly wants us to feel sorry.

Justy,

Itpains me to say this, but most people will think it was mastermnded by the government at a time when the "Impeach
Bush" talk is greater than ever. What better "remedy" than to do a repeat of 9/11 or greater to subdue the masses?
I see a real fix here. I also see a major problem. Americans arent stupid and i fear what will happen in the streets will be a real problem.

I agree that if something were to happen on U.S. soil now, most of the U.S. population would think Bush was behind it. I would suspect that a fair amount of the world would also believe it. Just look back to the 5 year anniversary of 9/11 when Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez publicly suggested the Bush administration planned out and executed the 9/11 attacks.

I am not sure the American people would do much of anything. I honestly think at the most you would have more talk. People would step up and make their claims, IF they were allowed to do it. Let's not forget that if another attack were to happen on U.S. soil, then Bush would have the right to declare martial law, suspend elections, and basically become an official dictator overnight, as of now he is more of a closet dictator. [sarcasm] What a happy day it will be when Bush can come out of the closet! [/sarcasm]

I really think this is more fear mongering. That being said, I do believe before the next elections we will have another attack and Bush/Cheney will come out of the closet.
