Report: Al-Qaida nears ability to strike U.S. — Draft intelligence assessment says group seeks chemical, nuclear weapons

Gee, I though were were "safe."

I've got a gut feeling that the people who ignored the PDB titled "Bin Laden Determined to Strike in U.S." and who lost interest in hunting him might be either:

a) Under-preparing for a real threat
b) Making up a phony threat

If they want us to be scared, they're doing a heckuva job. Stretching our military and National Guard to the breaking point for a failed war of whim that's a rallying call for anti-American terrorism does seem a tad worrisome.

As for handling a real threat, maybe Dick Cheney will set up another anti-terrorism task force that never meets. Look, these guys (plus Giuliani) saved the Twin Towers, so what could go wrong?
