We are going to be so screwed if terrorists strike the US again

[Rebel_with_a_cause]

If our government can't handle a natural disaster in an area that is guaranteed to experience its possibilities at least once a year, and then when disaster does strike, our government proves to be utterly worthless in coping with basic human survival, the next terrorist attack is going to spread public panic from sea to shining sea.

I feel like America's jugular has been cut.

1. ...it is the same reason we were so screwed on 9-11-2001, nothing

has changed. Just a PR campaign ...

2. yes it was box cutters that did it

and to think that is all it took eh?

Again, a day late and too many dollars short! :grr:

:kick:

3. The only reason they haven't yet is that it would create sympathy

for us in the World. That plus what strength we have left makes us dangerous.

After a few years of Bolton, the World will no longer feel any sympathy for U.S. Then the two alignments of Iran(N.Korea,China)/Iraq Shia + Iraq/Saudi Arabian Sunnis will further weaken us with $3.00 gas a status quo.

When we are weak enough, they will strike because we will still be occupying Iraq in our fortified bases and the Iraqi people haven't forgotten who killed whom. Iraqi Sunnis will join the effort to get us because we no longer control them and they have allies in Saudi Arabia, so they don't need us anymore.

4. If a State Governor is killed in an attack

* will sit around waiting for their paperwork.

5. I know, between moments of outrage and sadness

I have felt real terror. If we can't do better than this with a predicted hurricane how will we ever deal with the future terrorist attacks that this administration has been telling us will come? DHS is a failure when it comes to natural disasters, and the head of FEMA has got to go.

6. Of that I am certain - IF the repukes are allowed to retain control.

We need the DEMOCRATS - LIBERAL DEMOCRATS - to fix it all - again!

7. Dennis Hastret may well write your town off next!

You are expendable...

8. Don't you get it? THAT IS THE PLAN. THAT IS WHAT THEY WANT.

This is class warfare -- and as well as being actual, in large measure it is psychological: mass PSY-OP warfare.

If you feel like "America's jugular has been cut" then you feel exactly the way they want you to feel: POWERLESS IN THE FACE OF OVERWHELMING TYRANNY AND OPPRESSION. They are showing their hand and many are seeing it, but not yet all.

Those in power are not "conservatives" and they are not "Republicans" and they are not "Christians." They are fascists masquerading as all the above. They are, step by step, taking this country down. It isn't because they are incompetent. It is their policy: Create a media driven false reality behind which we can dismantle the security of the United States from the inside out.

9. It occurs to me that the next week or so is the perfect time

for one of the oft-mentioned terror cells to strike. We have no excess capacity to help. Our national guard is off-shore, making billions for our masters. The office of national insecurity leadership is incompetent and preoccupied with spin control. Our borders are still wide open, even if they are not here now.
So if they (the terrorists) are really not part of a PNAC/Oilmen/Neocon conspiracy, the time to strike is now. Let's see. :tinfoilhat:

12. Got my hat on too

Remember the anthrax mailings just after 9/11?
What is coming next? :tinfoilhat:

oops forgot my hat

10. I am more scared of natural disasters or man-made disasters like

Chernobyl. Terrorist haven't exactly been active these past years.
But whatever it is, we will be left on our own, that much is clear.

11. We have plastic and duct tape, so we're not afraid n/t
