The notion that our resources are streched thin is laughable at best. Part of the problem is that we didn't realize how badly Katrina had turned out until it was too late. Sure we have 150,000 troops in Iraq, but do you guys realize how large our military/reserves really are. In addition, although Katrina will cost several tens of billions of dollars, compared to GDP it is miniscule. As far as oil, we have hundreds of millions of barrels in the strategic reserve just for that purpose. A terror attack now would not be appreciably more effective right now than at any other time.

The estimated cost of toxic waste removal exceeds the GDP according to the EPA.

We're gonna abandon NO anyway, so who cares?

I don't think terrorists are wasting their time on ATOT. Unless there's a member of ATOT whom you suspect?! :Q

Mermaidman is a Terrorist!

Last week showed how slow the USA is to respond to a problem situation and how many resources are not available because they are tied up in other parts of the the country. I'm sure other parts of the world have taken notice of this as well.

Especially when the people you are trying to help shoot at you

so there's a "good" time for terrorist attacks?

I think it's the opposite. If they attacked now it might bring the country even closer together. Remember after 9-11 everyone got all patriotic and stuff?

You should start teaching at Terrorist School.

That reminds me of a cartoon(comic, not a TV cartoon)that I saw once. It had 3 or 4 terorrist standing by a sign reading Osamas school for terrorist. One of the guys had a bomb strapped to himself, and he was saying "now pay attention, I am only gonna show you this once". Thats all I have to add to this thread. Sorry for the nef.
