How screwed would we be if there was a major terrorist attack...

[-..__...]

right now?

NOLA is in total chaos and the Feds don't have the resources or game plan to handle the situation.

Oil and gas prices were bad enough before the disaster, and now we just lost a significant source of supply.

The economy could really tank because of the rising cost of petroleum products.

We're pretty vulnerable right now and Sept 11th, isn't that far off.

I'm thinking that the effects of a major terrorist strike right now would be devastating and the ripple effect on our economy would make
9/11/01 seem minor by comparison.

Four years of "fightin' 'em over there" and we ain't done dick for the "Homeland".

terrorist attacks in the USA are overblown. Just a thing to install fear in the American people.
