AP Interview: Military Commander Says al-Qaida Creating New Cells Within the U.S.

A top U.S. military commander said Tuesday he believes there are al-Qaida cells in the United States or people working to create them and the military needs to triple its response teams to counter a growing threat of attack.

Air Force Gen. Victor "Gene" Renuart, who heads U.S. Northern Command, said that as the terrorism threat within the nation's boundaries has increased officials have strengthened intelligence sharing, particularly in an effort to shore up security at ports.

"I believe there are cells in the United States, or at least people who aspire to create cells in the United States," Renuart said in an interview with The Associated Press. "To assume that there are not those cells is naive and so we have to take that threat seriously."

As for attacks, he added: "Am I concerned that this will happen this summer? I have to be concerned that it could happen any day."

1. This is the part....

...where BushCo issues several different, "We know the Al-Quaidas are going to attack" messages through
military, government and other terrorism experts.

Then, after the "events" take place--they'll be able to say that they knew it was coming and that
we were warned.

3. today was definitely AQ day, there's been at least 3-4 reports related to the subject

just a coincidence of course... :sarcasm:

[tech3149]

4. Are those AQ stem cells? We can't have that, it's just plain wrong n/t

[Rosa Luxemburg]

6. well Bush will have failed if events take place. People will blame him.

[tridim]

11. Yes, but it's much too obvious

Everyone knows what they're doing and why they're doing it.

I predict they're going to really screw up the next LIHOP/MIHOP. There are too many people out here in America watching everything they do.

[sarcasmo]

2. We know it's going to happen before 2008 is what he should have said.

Suspend Elections, Zeig Heil the Decider.

5. It's been building up for a few weeks

report after report... Does everyone else see this as so obvious?!?!

It's tough to laugh though as the Bush plan is probably already in effect.

[sabra]

8. so you've noticed this too

:crazy:

[Rosa Luxemburg]

7. Bush should have stopped this. He's useless.

[dapper]

9. I thought we were safer!!!

We were suppose to fight them over there so we don't have to fight them here!

They have been monitoring our calls, obviously not theirs.

...and if they are so sure we have Cells in America, go out and get them... err or is our military spread so thing "over there" that we don't have enough to protect us here?!

12. It's a setup.

In their plans:

If we're hit here, it's due to the lack of leadership by the Dems. The Dems have to bring him stuff to sign. Ignore the fact that the Reps didn't bring anything in the first 6 years...

So, if it happens, it's not his fault, it's the weak protesters who embolden the enemy.

It sucks to see it coming, and know that the 29% number for approval will jump to 60% when he stands at the new wreckage and declares that he'll do what it takes to bring the perpetrators to justice.

[Rosa Luxemburg]

14. The GOP are trying but Dems are hitting back

Dems are wanting to fight REAL terrorism

[Rosa Luxemburg]

13. we have wasted a lot of money 'over there'

[BadgerKid]

10. Riiight... He "believes"

... is this another faith-based fact? :sarcasm:
How many times have "beliefs" led to the destruction of communities?

I operate with facts and expect my leaders to do the same.

[Tempest]

15. Here it comes

The militarization of America and the end of Posse Comitatus.

Another indication Bush plans on instituting martial law before the 2008 election.

[seriousstan]

16. I was waiting for the "dead horse" post. Repeat after me.....

They are not going to cancel the elections. There is no mechanism for doing this. The police, military and FUCK ......firemen, I guess, would not be complicit.

Martial law, canceled elections...yadda...yadda...stupid yadda.

Set a date and terms and bet me 1 gold donating star to the person of my choice that there will be a "martial law", "canceled election ( and we will discuss the terms on postponed elections for natural disasters and such).

I am sick of reactionaries making the DU ;look like Kooksville.

[Tempest]

17. There's even Republicans saying it's possible

And who gives a fuck what you think? This isn't your web site.

[seriousstan]

18. Obviously you give a fuck....you replied. Also, you are quoting Reps as an example to follow?????

:rofl:

19. Did anyone check to see if they had Green-Cards?

Tell ya what, if they support impeachment they can stay, otherwise, I'm alertin' the Minutemen. :patriot:
