Retired general: Al Qaeda 'attack is coming'
David Edwards and Muriel Kane
Published: Tuesday August 28, 2007


NBC News asked military analyst General Barry McCaffrey about recent statements by intelligence officials that another al Qaeda attack is on its way.

McCaffrey said the warnings should be considered credible, even if Osama bin Laden probably "has gone to ground." He suggested at the same time that it would be a good idea to kill bin Laden using "remote controlled vehicles" and not attempt to capture him, adding, "Thank God for the CIA's persistence."

"In the short run, you know, we're doing quite well," McCaffrey concluded. "An awful lot of these al-Qaeda people are dead or behind bars. ... You've got people like the New York Police Department and domestic law enforcement hyper-alert. ... But the attack's coming."

3. "Thank God for the CIA's persistence".
If God has some involvement in the matter, our lack of success should raise concerns.

4. Another attack will serve as PROOF POSITIVE that the Republicans CAN'T PROTECT US.
Edited on Tue Aug-28-07 10:40 AM by AndyA
Period.

They totally dropped the ball before 9/11.

They totally fudged Hurricane Katrina prior to, during, and in its aftermath.

They botched the Iraq war big time - no plan, no plan, no plan.

So another attack on U.S. soil should pretty much dig their grave, toss them in, and cover them up. It will be proof that the Republicans are ill equipped to protect America. Two major terrorist attacks on their watch will be impossible to explain, and difficult to spin.

Fear is all they have, and that's what they keep serving up. Pelosi should bring out the main course: IMPEACHMENT, and that would put a stop to a lot of this crap, because they'd all be too busy covering their dirty little asses.

5. Fear is all they are selling, the question is who is going to buy
it this time. That is how they keep people in control.

8. Remote control vehicles huh?
I know they're referring to air probes but you don't suppose they could rig a remote car bomb do ya? Na, they wouldn't do that.
