Well, since we elected Bush, I say we get hit by a retaliatory terrorist strike, most likely in Florida or Texas, judging from the Bin Laden tape, I think it happens this month.

Or maybe the threat of terrorists was just a bunch of fear mongering to get us to actually turn out and vote for Bush.

Either way, we are in a whole heap of trouble here and abroad.

Nah, it'll be Australia. I have a preminition of my overcrowded peak-hour train exploding.

Lets not go tempting fate folks ;)

The next terrorist strike will be at the DNC and ACLU by the facist Bush administration.

You really think this organised global network exists?! Looking at previous attacks etc it seems to me that these terrorists are merely opportunistic and sporadic rather than an intricate network, i mean how can these guys in tribal regions and caves coordinate a massive network of supposedly tens of thousands? Unless that have broadband in the Tora Bora range. I mean, they could use runners etc, but with the massive security crackdown the chance of them getting intercepted whizzing all over the planet is very high.

Based on the close family and business ties between the Bush family and the bin Laden family.. I'd be willing to bet that there will be a terrorist 'strike' within one year. And an invasion of Iran within two.

Where will he get the troops from to invade Iran? They are already mired in Iraq, with some troops saying 6 years they will be there, this is what they have unofficially said to some British papers and TV. And Iran will no way crumble like Iraq, there would be more resistence than in Iraq due to the partly brainwashed populous.

I'm frankly suprised Osama didnt try something right before the election to shore up support for Bush...it being closer than Bush would have liked and all.

I guess we'll just wait and see?

I will be enormously surprised if there is not an invasion of Iran within two years. The Pax Americana suggested regime changes in the middle east, including Iraq and Iran, and it didn't take long after his election for Bush to institute the regime change in the first of those two - even if he had to 'imagine' a connection to global terrorism to sell it to the US populace.

There will be no draft. There will be no draft. There will be no draft. There will be no draft. There will be no draft. There will be no draft.

Keep saying it... maybe it will become true.

I'm surprised London hasn't been hit yet, after all Blair followed Bush into Iraqand I thought terrorists would see them as on in the same.

Oh I dont really care about the draft, im not from the US, and my family that are are either too old or too young to be called up. Plus, draft conscripts against Iran would be suicide for the poor buggers as poorly trained men would have to face both regular Iranian troops and scores of irregulars. Hello 'Nam, I dont think the military would advise that path again.

This sporadic "group of folks" (as Bush called them), managed a plan in which they boarded, hijacked, and flew 4 American passenger planes into three of the most important buildings in America.

I have a vision of a muslim guy in an airport conference calling three other muslim guys in an airport on a cellphone.

Terrorist 1: Hey what's up, guys?
Terrorist 2: Not a whole lot.
Terrorist 3: Nothing here, what's up with you?
Terrorist 1: Nothing just sitting in an airport.
Terrorist 3: Really?! Me too.
Terrorist 2: Me three?!!! What a small world, praise Allah.
Terrorist 1: Fellas, I just learned how to fly a plane, and.....
Terrorist 2 (interrupting): You can't be serious, so did I.
Terrorist 3: I did too. The coincidences keep on coming.
Terrorist 1: Glad to hear that fellas, cause have I got a plan for you....

This didn't happen because they had a well thought out and organized plan that involved flight school, passports, and a lot of money.

If it's gonna be anywhere, it will be the UK. We participated in the war, and we have been lucky up until now. How long until we are hit?

the terrorist threat has got to be the most masterful political stroke in history. Based on one isolated, if horrific, event, the USA has re-elected someone who is probably the worst US president since the end of the great depresion. Pity most americans will never get to see what damage Bush has done to the reputations of America, and Americans all over the world, and especialy in its allied nations. You want to end terrorism comming from the middle east? Its easy - take western troops out of the middle eastern countries, and let them live their own lives in their own way. They arent attacking the western way of life. they are attacking the one western country that insists on trying to run their countries. and whilst their methods are deplorable, do you realy blame them?

Ok, one attack or a series of attacks on the same day that the people that carried it out themselves generally planned once in the US, or Europe. Why have there been no such attacks since, there have been a few car bombs and attacks, however if this intricate network going into the heart of America existed then why have no more attacks occured there? There seems no real coordinated attacks since this one big one. Madrid, opportunistic, easy to blow up a train, various Morrocan car bombs and Turkish car bombs, opportunistic. There are various groups in Indonesia that work loosely, some rebel groups, some not

The difference there is, the UK is actually kind of used to terrorism.

The UK had years of getting practice at findinf terrorists, stopping terrorists, etc... all the while the US was funding the terrorists in Northern Ireland.

Add to this, the UK lacks the huge stretches of virtually open borders that the US has with Mexico and Canada, and the fact that Bush has been spending all his time and money in Iraq rather than the US...

Add to all of that, the fact that the US acts as bodyguard to Israel... which is a real bone of contention in the middle-east.

I'm surprised London hasn't been hit yet, after all Blair followed Bush into Iraqand I thought terrorists would see them as on in the same.

Osama is an Arsenal supporter. I suppose he favours London.

Actually, I was reading around Al-Jaz and found some articles about attacking Los Angles.

I would think that since Bin Laden want's to hurt the US, a likely target for say a bioattack would be the Sillicon Valley. We really aren't looking for anything. Well that is unless they are very good at hiding the fact..... ;)

NY, within one year...is Vegas taking bets?

Doesn't matter who they hit. Spain, Russia, America. Maybe they'll hit Britain next. They don't care. Bush doesn't seem to either. He got elected because people think he can fight the War on Terror better. It would be nice if he'd demonstrate by doing so instead of mucking about with middle eastern despots with delusions of grandeur.

When does the War on Terror start up again? Wake me when it does.

Zzzzzzzzz...

I'll take some of that! What odds? :)

It's already true.

Hi 'ya Grave..!! :D (Iakeokeo[banned]/Iakeo-OK[banned]/Hurhurhur[banned]/Hehhehe[banned]/Heeheehee{undoubtedly soon to be banned])

THERE IS AND WILL BE NO DRAFT.

..unless the leftists institute one. To "democratize the armed forces", as Rangle put it.

Happy conversation to you..! :)

The War on Terror is going to be so awesome! I can't wait til there's no more terror! Man, I wish the War on Drugs wasn't so successful, I could really use some marijuana right now!!!

Well according to Osama Bin Liner, Canada isn't on Al-Qaeda's hit lists. Go figure.

You'll just have to switch to heroin or coke. The war in Afghanistan was so successful that the amounts of drugs coming out of that country have more than quadrupled since we won and installed peace and democracy there.

Could be Italy too. Some old culturally and historically valuable church could be the target. Hopefully not. Or actually I don't believe they would use church as a target. Something more secular.

Well if there's going to be no draft, there's going to be no attack on Iran.

U! S! A!

U! S! A!

I still think the US will be attacked. I mean, the US is what these terrorists really hate. Now that Bush has been re-elected they have even more incentive to attack...

I think, now that we have elected He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named, we have done the work for them. Everyone hates us so much, we'll have Swiss tourists blowing up buildings next.

And I don't personally believe Bush and Bin Laden are as buddy-buddy as everyone says. He just ma guy who used to work for his father...like Saddam...

I saw something very telling on Stewart last night. The people in the Midwest voted on grounds of terrorism and cultural morals (Yes, they have so many sacred monuments...the Corn Palace...and...stuff...and so many gays....ummm...I'm lost....). We in the blue world voted on the same grounds. We elected Kerry. Who do you think knows more about this shit?
