Which is it?


http://news.xinhuanet.com/english/2005-03/13/content_2693234.htm
WASHINGTON, March 13 (Xinhuanet) -- US intelligence officials say that Abu Mousab al-Zarqawi, the top ally of Osama bin Laden in Iraq, has talked about hitting "soft targets" in the United Statessuch as movie theaters, restaurants and schools, the Time magazinereported Sunday.

Intelligence officials tell the magazine that interrogation of a member of al-Zarqawi's organization, who was taken into US custody last year and has been described as a top aide, indicates that al-Zarqawi has given ample consideration to assaults on the American homeland.

A restricted bulletin that circulated among US security agencies last week noted that al-Zarqawi apparently believes that "if an individual has enough money, he can bribe his way into the US," specifically by obtaining a "visa to Honduras" and then traveling across Mexico and the southern US border.

Al-Zarqawi's aide also revealed that his boss concluded that a lack of "willing martyrs" was to blame for the absence of attacks in the United States in recent years, the report said.

Intelligence officials said there was no evidence that al-Zarqawi's agents have infiltrated the United States. But security sources tell the Time that just last week the FBI sent out two nationwide bulletins warning of a nonspecific threat to railroads in Detroit and Los Angeles.

Intelligence officials have confirmed that bin Laden sent a message to al-Zarqawi early this month, urging him to plan attackson US soil. Enditem
What intelligence officials? And who says he's a top aide? And how "top" is this "top aide".

Sorry...just more FUD from the Bush admin in order to boost sagging approval ratings, esp. given:

i understand what you are saying but there is also the pervasive idea that the administration has been notoriously manipulative in regards to providing information and mind-numbingly ignorant in regards to interpreting information they collect.

one should keep in mind that this is life during wartime...you are correct: no win situation.

You can say that again

See, I don't feel this *is* wartime. Sure, there's still fighting going on in Iraq but we're certainly not at war on our own homeland. Hell, this administration isn't even trying to beef up our borders. In fact, it's doing the exact *opposite* via its latest budget proposal which will cut ~10,000 border patrol agents.

Good - let this come back to haunt Bush by bringing terrorism to our own home land because Bush has become lax. Americans will die and strike Bush down, as he deserves, for lying to them and spending all their money into debt and ultimately being unable to protect them.

This will be a fitting legacy to Bush's corrupt Regime of crownies.
 
But you treemongers forget that an attack on the Homeland is exactly what the CIA, FBI, WhiteHouse WANT! They will let it happen, just like 9/11, so that we can justify hitting more targets like Iran. It's all a vast conspiracy just like Pearl Harbor where the White House knew of an attack days before, since decoding Japanese transmissions.
 
You are right they are only concerned with killing civilians and US troops in Iraq.

Resume sticking head in the sand.

Then how about we didn't go to Iraq in the first place and secure OUR borders?

Resume ramjob of head in sphincter. :laugh:
 
Quick! Everyone head to the hardware store to stock up on duct tape and plastic! Oh, help us George, help us! We'll let you have the gay amendment! We'll let you have the SS privatization! We'll give you anything you want! We've already forgiven your past offenses! Just save us from the boogeyman!
 
SCUBA DIVERS ARE POSSIBLY GOING TO BE PUTTING BOMBS ON THE BOTTOM OF CARGO SHIPS!!!!!!!!

Er, let's see what else...ah yes:

TRANSPORT TRUCKERS TOLD TO BE WARY OF SUSPICIOUS INDIVIDUALS, WHO MAY STEAL THE TANKER TRUCKS AND DRIVE THEM INTO BUILDINGS!

zactly 9-11 was a gift for a sorry excuse for a president. Not too many people relise it now but he was going no-where quick. Hell these cynical fusks even admit to it.

You guys hit the nail right on the head, as no one better could!
 
Ouch! Another group of loons hoping for the death of fellow americans so they may have the pleasure of saying "see I told you so!"
It makes you wonder how any one could have ever described you liberal loons as being anti-americans.

And completely unaware of what goes on behind the scenes to keep the tails safe so they can spout off about their favortie injustices.

Heads they win, tails you lose.
