From the White House: The Intelligence Community believes that terrorists will attempt multiple attacks against U.S. targets worldwide in the event of a U.S led military campaign. A large volume of reporting across a range of sources, some of which are highly reliable, indicates that terrorists probably would attempt to launch terrorist attacks against U.S. interests claiming they were defending Muslims.

So the US can attack anywhere on the planet with impunity- based on its interests?
Seriously I want to jump off the planet.

(101,146 posts)From the White House: The Intelligence Community believes that terrorists will attempt multiple attacks against U.S. and Coalition targets worldwide in the event of a U.S led military campaign against Saddam Hussein. A large volume of reporting across a range of sources, some of which are highly reliable, indicates that Al-Qaida probably would attempt to launch terrorist attacks against U.S. interests claiming they were defending Muslims or the Iraqi people rather than Saddam Husseins regime.
I await the return of the thread starter, with an explanation of what the thread is for, with interest.

(15,741 posts)Shame on me.
Here are some of the terra threats we went through:
Terrorists would be disguised as: Homeless people, women with baby carriages, Santa Claus....
They would attack with pen guns, water, any bottle of liquid, shoes.
I find it quite amusing that we are getting fooled again

(32,566 posts)the warnings. Our intelligence is pretty good--the problem is, the cia,fbi,etc. isn't organized enough to put the intelligence to use to prevent certain attacks. For example, 911, the Boston bombers, etc.
