You gotta pick a country with little to no allies, greenland, iceland and norway are all chummy with the international community.
You wouldnt want sanctions against the US from europe/canada/asia...

u have a massive net import, could really mess your economy...

Oh an norway is one of the rare countries that is rich as hell, they have no debt and massive surpluses, they loan the US money, they would be funding your attacks indirectly, so bad idea.

Hey, Finland is ten times worse!

Maybe I'm missing something, but doesn't the Bush administration say that since we're fighting Terrorists(tm) in Iraq we don't have to worry about them coming here???

I guess if the US just retreated from Iraq for a week they could invade again?

Oh yes....Al Queda would probably also guarantee Bush's re-election and John Kerry may as well go home and go back to playing Senator.

Lefty's would still vote for him, but the middle would surely go for Bush with a new mandate....to quote the Metallica song "all within my hands" ....." KILL KILL KILL KILL KILL KILL KILL KILL KILL KILL"

That's the problem. Who do you kill when they only need a handfull of individuals to inflict grave casualities? 9/11 is the perfect point. It only took a handful of terrorist to inflict mass casualities. So if we get hit this summer, what is you plan? To start throwing around nukes? Yea... that would be great. All we need is the fallout from one nuke to seep into China and then forget about it.

Were all dead.

Sometimes i wonder if that would not be the best idea, it seems us humans have outlived our own intelligence, we are better at destroying things than anything else.

Bitter, me? Just a bit.

It could be the next decade, but ok, century.

Why are people thinking up new ways to hurt eachother when thinking up new methods of preserving life would be so much more productive.

I really have no right to say that though, as a soldier.

You have every right to say this. Unlike most of the war-mongers here.

I was thinking of india and china coming online in terms of living standards and economy, those two countries alone will consume like 2-3 times what we consume now.
we are gonna kill each other with polution and fighting for the world's resources.

It gets much worse when you begin to see that the reason why is self hate and ask what can be done about that.

But then as you should know, Die laga is hofnungslos aber nicht ernst.

Oh i realized that a long time ago, but maybe you are right, maybe it is not hopeless just yet (hoffnungslos is spelled with two f's, just fyi, Germans are anal about spelling).

Standard leftist responses (will make this easy for the new and aspiring lefties - feel free to print and laminate for your wallet)

Announcement of possible attack:
1) Just the administration fearmongering.
2) It's our fault if they do attack!
3) Kerry would do a better job of this
4) (Lunatic fringe) Bush is going to let it happen/is planning so he can get re-elected or delcare martial law

If the attack doesn't happen
1) Just the administration fearmongering.
2) Cry wolf! Cry wolf!
3) Kerry would have done a better job of that
4) (Lunatic fringe) It's coming you just wait!

If the attack does happen
1) See #4
2) See #4
3) See #4
4) (Lunatic fringe) See I told you so!

The U.S. isn't going to attack Finland. The Russkies tried that and decided it was too bloody cold and their soldiers just got drunk all the time. Besides, Texas oil men have no interest in FISH OIL.

You actually think I was going to put plastic on my house? Any you say that I need help and that you don't know why I said you take yourself too seriously
This is too funny. YOU - help me? hehe...now that is too rich.

I have heard people say that you are the roadrunner of P&N because you go "bleat-bleat" (the roadrunner said "meep-meep" in case you forgot). I haven't come to the same conclusion because on occasion I have seen you address issues instead of your normal issuance-of-quips-and-ditch.

"You actually think I was going to put plastic on my house?"
Yes. Do you actually believe that Bush is a good president or were you joking about that too?

Once you stop laughing perhaps you can tell me if your postings to date have been an "ingorant neocon" gag or if you have been serious.

Once you gain control of yourself perhaps you can defend some of your previous statements. If you don't, I will assume you don't have support for them. There's nothing wrong with changing your mind though. Think of this as a learning experience for you.

That's funny The road runner Well, one thing is for sure, he does seem to make a fool of his opponent all the time
You are a piece of work info I'm sorry I've twisted you mind in knots. Like I posted in a different thread, I'll try to remember to use small words when replying to you. I forgot...I'm sorry and I'll try to remember next time.

You have completely failed to answer my post. I guess everyone who said you were all about "bleat-bleat" were right.

There was nothing to answer. You were made to look the fool. *beep beep* (don't look down )

Caddy is a schmoo. That's a vinyl bag in the shape of a man with air in it's head and gravel for feet you can punch over and over again and it pots back up for another punch. And you can punch from any direction but he'll still pop back up. He's good for burning calories, but there's nobody home to convince. You are simply punching air.

U.S. to Release Photos of Possible Attack Planners, Person Says

May 26 (Bloomberg) -- The U.S. will release photos of suspected terrorists as it girds against potential al-Qaeda attacks within the U.S. in coming months, according to a government official.

U.S. Attorney General John Ashcroft and Robert Mueller, director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, will describe people ``most likely to have information about the attacks or be involved'' and will show photos of some of those people at a press conference at 2 p.m. in Washington, the official said, speaking on condition of anonymity.

``The intelligence we're receiving suggested that there are people in place that want to carry out attacks against the U.S.,'' White House spokesman Scott McClellan told journalists in Washington today. ``Americans should be on a heightened state of awareness.''

McClellan said al-Qaeda's targets are unknown. Large events such as the World War II Memorial dedication in Washington on Saturday, the Group of Eight summit in Sea Island, Georgia June 8- 10, both political parties' nominating conventions and the presidential election in November ``certainly present opportunities for terrorists to carry out their attacks,'' he said.

There are 18,000 potential terrorists at large, and recruitment by groups is accelerating because of the U.S.-led war in Iraq, the International Institute for Strategic Studies said yesterday in its annual survey.

Reports `Credible'

The information gathered by the U.S. doesn't include a time, place, target or details about the method of attack, U.S. Homeland Security Secretary Tom Ridge said this morning on Fox News' ``Fox & Friends'' program.

``Several reports, some of which we have deemed credible,'' point to an attack on the U.S. Appearing on NBC's ``Today'' show, Ridge said the stream of threat reports is ``not unlike what we've seen in the past several years.''

The Associated Press said, citing an unidentified intelligence official, said the intelligence indicates that terrorists may have and plan to use a chemical, biological or radiological weapon.

Alert Level

Ridge said there are no plans to raise the nation's terror alert level, currently at ``elevated,'' or yellow, the middle of the five-color threat alert scale.

``There is absolutely nothing specific enough that rises to the level where we would presently, today, as we speak, make the recommendation to the president to raise the threat level,'' he said on Cable News Network's ``American Morning.''

The Homeland Security Department and the FBI alert law enforcement agencies to be on the watch for terrorist attacks when they receive credible intelligence. Last week, U.S. officials warned that suicide bombers may strike within the U.S. and rail agencies were directed to step up security.

The New York City Police Department, in a statement, said there is nothing in the recent reports ``to indicate a specific threat or looming attack against New York City,'' a target of the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks. Still, the statement said, the department ``is taking all necessary precautions'' under the assumption that al-Qaeda still sees the city as a target.

Al-Qaeda Training

As many as 20,000 jihadists, or Muslims recruited to fight a holy war, were trained by al-Qaeda in Afghanistan since 1996, the International Institute for Strategic Studies said.

``Although half of al-Qaeda's 30 senior leaders and perhaps 2,000 rank-and-file members have been killed or captured, a rump leadership is still intact and over 18,000 potential terrorists at large, with recruitment accelerating on account of Iraq,'' the report said. ``Al-Qaeda will keep trying to develop more promising plans for terrorist operations in North America and Europe, ideally involving weapons of mass destruction.''

An al-Qaeda linked group said it carried out attacks on commuter trains in Madrid in March that killed 191 people, citing Spain's involvement with the U.S.-led coalition in Iraq.

The war in Iraq has increased the risk of terrorism, John Chipman, director of the International Institute, said yesterday.

``The Iraq intervention was always likely in the short term to enhance jihadist recruitment and intensify al-Qaeda's motivation,'' Chipman said in London.
