The reason for their faux treason or not telling us what is really going to happen (assuming that they do know details but are just letting out a dribble of a generic warning) is that they dont want to "panic the people" needlessly (or at least prematurely, ie, before the incident).

I have read this forum and believe me there are a lot of people that are not even aware of what could and i repeat could happen. It has already been established that Obama is not African but Muslim so if he really is an american that would make him Muslim/American and according to his belief in the koran he cannot denounce the faith or he will be beheaded.\
The Muslim's are the ones that took down the twin towers to kill as many American's as possible and if we think about that why don't we think about how many people would be at the inaugration possibly MILLION'S and in that the revenge for Obama could be killed and MILLION'S of innocent people. If that does not register in your thought's you have a problem. Something else to think about is why won't Obama show his "Birth Certificate" I for one of "WE THE PEOPLE" want to know is he born in Kenya or is Obama not his father or are the dates of his birth wrong or what is the reason for not letting the American people know.
My daddy always told me if you lie with dogs you will smell like a dog and if you hang with crooked politions you are prolly crooked. and one last thing which should have a lot of concern to the American People is Obama wants to change the constitution and if you want to see what we should be concerned about just Google "con con new constitution" and read for yourself. if this is passed we will not be able to post on these forums without government approval that is my two cents worth "May God Watch over this Great Nation before it is too late"

So which topic are we talking about, assassination, or terror attack. Those are two different things with different motivations.

I doubt that Obama has anything to worry about in the way of assassination. Most of the elements in our society who are likely to attempt an assassination, voted for Obama.

Several people have mentioned white supremicists, skin heads, etc. However, with the exception of MLK Jr., I know of no assassination that these groups ever attempted.

On the other hand the Manson family tried to bump off Gerald Ford, twice.

Also, Michael Moore talks about a planned ambush of President Bushes motorcade on the day of the first Bush innauguration. He claims that the crowd was armed with tomatoes and eggs, we have his word on that. (wink wink) The Secret Service redirected the motorcade and thwarted their plans.

Last of all, on the topic of assassination, the Secret Service knows what they are doing and there will be plenty of police presence on the scene on innauguration day.

The topic of a terrorist attack is something else. A large outdoor gathering of Americans of all types, is a very tempting target for al-Quada. I am sure that they have taken notice. It is very difficult to stop a few committed individuals from carrying out a terror attack, especially if they are willing to die in the attempt.

What form would a terror attack take?

Well, one of the easiest things to do would be to highjack an airliner and crash it into the crowd. It would be impossible to clear everyone out in time. The death toll would be high. I am sure though that there will be a number of armed fighter aircraft in the air, with a huge no fly zone.

Something almost as effective would be to highjack a bus or some other large vehicle and plow it into the crowd. If they planned a few weeks ahead they could disguise their own vehicle and pack it full of explosives. This would be almost as effective as the highjacked airliner. There will be plenty of traffic barriers in place though. If the crowd estimates are accurate though, the potential for this type of attack would be very great.

Then there is the possibility of a series of suicide attacks. Something like the London bombings. A number of disguised individuals, wearing or carrying bombs, all strategically placed and timed to go off in stages. The crowd could be made to stampede and the death toll from the stampede alone could be thousands. There will be bomb dogs on the scene though, along with metal detectors, and plain clothes police. Still this type of attack cannot be ruled out.

Then there is the possiblitly of a disease vector being released in the crowd. This type of attack may take days before it is recognized. If the terrorists have a bio-weapon and are willing to wait for the delayed effect, then this is something that they might try. We don't know if al-Quada has the ability to carry out this type of attack. If they do though, this is the type of event that would cause them to use it.

These are a few of the possibilities.

I would like to mention one other thing. I know that during the election, a lot of fur was ruffled over the question of whether Obama is or isn't a Muslim. Regardless of whether he is or not, there are a lot of Muslims around the world who think that he is, because of his father, and because he has a Muslim name. This could work to our advantage, since many Muslims would be reluctant to carry out an attack on a fellow Muslim. Again, I am not saying that Barack Hussein Obama is a Muslim, I am saying that many Muslims believe that he is.

Call me cynical...I dont believe anything that happens anymore after Oklahoma City and all the loose ends on that operation. 911 was about the sloppiest one yet.

I yawn at the rulers that the gods intrusted to run the planet and they can no longer hide in the shadows...that might sound arrogant but I find it to be where Im at in this point in time

Think it will still be a good day for a nuke. Lots of people, congress, both old and new administrations and most of supreme court.

I was just there 2 hours ago and I can tell you that they are pulling out all the stops. They expect 5 million people to show up.

What they are doing now is that the federal employees are off the fri before and mon after. All federal buildings(so most buildings) will be closed with no access whatsoever.

I doubt there will be a security gaurd in the area with any time off.

There is a ton of security anyways.
No one is going to move without it being watched.

well I'm going to the inauguration (class trip thing) so if I survive ill be sure to tell of the chaos that is sure to ensue.

but its a pretty prime target ill admit, I mean its almost like throwing a baby seal at a polar bear.

Really nothing to worry about.. If you're like me than you admire Obama and hope the best for him, but would it really be a surprise if some skinhead or assassin shot him dead? .. He is very similar to JFK in the charismatic sense.

IMO even though Obama got elected by about 51% of the population in the U.S, you have to remember that 49% don't want him in office and a part of that percentage believe Barack to be the anti christ because deep down they are racist people.

Got to throw the BS flag here. Ok a "part of that percentage" lets say .1%, and I bet there is a lot more that sees Bush as the anti-christ.

BTW, he has a long way to go before he is similar to JFK.

Speaking of numbers...the country is about 45%/45% demarcate to republicans and about 10% independent, and just maybe those who voted against him did it because they had republican values, and not beacause he was black.

Not a bad post but...

Osama bin Laden carried out the attack. He admitted it on video three different times. Why doubt him? Not only did he do it, but he warned the US years in advance that such an attack was coming. Again, why doubt him?

I'd like to see those video tapes...

Are you sure it was realy him?

Well it was a muslin based group or our own goverment..you call it.

But it is hard to say muslin for it is like saying David Koresh was Christian. Osama bin Laden’s muslin ideals are extreme to say the least. Extremism in any religion is bad mojo, but when you look at the billions who are not extreme you see just normal people and I hate to put them into the same category.

the only way anything will happen is if they are running a practice drill on the day, you know the type of drill that later is found to be reality and some enlisted personal don't know whether to tell their superiors just in case they are wrong and look stupid for confusing a drill with reality.

My prediction:

Obama is going to relish the insane enthusiasm of the crowd and mood of the country and produce an inaugural speech that will be considered an historic event that will energize and motivate the country.
