Terrorist Attack on the U.S. Within Six Months "a Certainty"

Walkinstorms, fact are facts and I would not even have answered curtisreed if he were normal but he is not. I called out Bush/ Cheney for what they are and if you did make sacrifices for your country you too would be appalled by their behavior. Democrats were at as much fault as republicans for where we are today and I do not deny that. Those who refuse to acknowledge truth are doomed to see previous lies live again. He called me a coward, he could have called me a son of bitch and I would not have cared but I served my country and risked my life for it and will not accept people calling me a coward when so many others were or are.
My apologies to you

Curtisreed here are your facts;
Fact sheet for Curtisreed
Fact: George W Bush was absent without leave during his national guard service. If not for family connections, his grandfather was US Senator Prescott Bush and Father George HW Bush. Others who were guilty of same went to jail.
Fact: Dick Cheney received SIX draft deferments during the Vietnam War
Cheney got married immediately after college to qualify for the sixth.
But did not fail to send others into war to die and be maimed.
Fact: Vice President Dick Cheney was CEO of Halliburton who received multiple no bid awards from the defense dept and state dept during the Iraq war. Those no bid contracts cost the US taxpayers extra billions in the war effort.
Fact: Paul Wolfowitz and Richard Pearl were architects of Bush's middle east policy and the Iraq war. Neither never served in the military and just like Cheney were more than willing to send 4000 US soldiers to their death and over 25,000 injured and maimed in Iraq.

Now you call me a coward would you like to back that up face to face or are you only full of courage behind a computer screen. I will meet you any place in this country face to face and then you try to call me a coward. You have no idea what courage is. How about crawling down a tunnel with a knife and a 45 not knowing if your coming back out because your country has invaded theirs and the guys down there want to kill you.

To all others who read what curtisreed cut and pasted trying to make himself look big. I spare people vulgarity when possible and my apologies.

Curtisreed you make me sick to think I fought for people like you makes me want to throw up.
Your welcome

I am mystified by those who purport to know how many terrorist attacks have targeted the U.S. and by those who use that figure as the measuring stick for the success or failure of the past two or three presidential administrations.

As to the first, the vast majority of terrorist attacks have nothing to do with bombs or jumbo jets. One of the most common types of terrorist attacks is the cyberattack, in which terrorists attempt to penetrate or bring down computer networks. Moreover, at least IMHO, some of the most effective attacks are more in the nature of recruiting and spreading misinformation and disinformation both inside the U.S. and abroad.

As to the second, I don't see how any of the administrations can be judged even on this one criterion without adding up ALL of the avenues used by terrorists AND by assigning some kind of effectiveness rating to them. And far more importantly, there are THOUSANDS of variables and attributes by which a presidential administration is open to criticism and judgment. I don't know, for example, whether there even WERE any terrorist attacks during the Nixon Administration, but I would be highly suspicious of any ranking system that placed him above the bottom three presidents in American history.

Cheney was a six time draft deferment loser during the Vietnam war, don't equivocate honor and Dick Cheney in any fashon. You do a great dis-service to all who have served and died for your freedom. Even when it wasn't for your freedom, for the freedom of others. Cheney and Bush usurped constitutional rights granted to every American. Dick Cheney is not very bright at all, most Americans are very stupid and gullible people as proven by the fact they surrendered constitutional rights for security and so called freedom. We have less of both today than ten years ago. Only assholes think Cheney is smart or honorable.

you know, I didn't even bother reading the whole thing because think about...what a big friggin surprise! attack on America...what else is new... I hope they have some more accurate and specific info...

I'm not even bothering to take this article seriously. Saying there will be a terrorist attack within 6 months in the US is like saying that the sun will rise on June 3rd 2010 or something. I'm kind of tired of the NSA and CIA pretending they can read the minds of terrorist groups and then publicly announce their new "knowledge". If they're so good at their jobs then tell the public where and when the attack will be. The broader you are with your statements, the more fearful the public will be. I for one am tired of being afraid.

if that isn't the dumbest fukin statement I've ever heard in my life. Just what in the hell would I do with that piece of information if I chose to digest it? Is that the new job of intelligence agencies? "We can assure that people are going to die". You're doin a hell of a job Brownie, a hell of a job

you can smell the bullshit right in the title :D

if there isn't one then they will have to manufacture there own, to be right. it sounds like somebody doesn't want cutbacks.

the attention span of americans is short and just like the movies, it takes a lot of explosions to keep our interest.

CODE BLUE ! or is it orange... no yellow... what ever, never mind

Stop listening to Dick Chaney people

Let's make sure we re-up on the totalitarian state of fear.

A year ago this month Cheney was saying the same thing.
http://pakalert.wordpress.com/2009/02/10/cheney-warns-of-another-mass-terror-att...

This prediction/warning is like saying, "the sun will rise in the east tomorrow".

"Terrorist" attacks happen to the "US" everyday. It's called war, and when the enemy attacks us, we justify giving up our rights, and theirs by calling them terrorists. "Road side bombing" = terror attack on US.
So, this guy is stating the obvious... the only reason to say it is to remind people be live their lives in fear of what our gov/corporations does to others.

Just to make sure you're all aware... The American government = terrorists. Soooooo many examples... In fact just recently we sold weapons to Korea who's currently at war with another country we could care less about (read: any country but ours)... and we have done this throughout history to thin the numbers of our neighbors (Read about the Iran contra if you don't know it! This is how crack was brought into the country and used to distract the masses with another internal problem)... ...but the best example of US terrorism is 9/11. If you still don't believe our government AT LEAST had hands in 9/11 then you honestly need to wake up. I would NOT be surprised if the next attack was super suspicious, targeted key infrastructure or a symbol and made everyone on top a LOT of money through war profiteering. Always ask: "where does the money go".

Think about Blackwater (now named XE, right?) They're hired guns in the wild west. Think about Guantanamo... Think about the Gulf of Tonkin... Think about the amount of tax money we've lost to the "failures" of our goverment. The work YOU did to fund a war you don't even know is real. Relief money goes NOWHERE, the contractors sent to Iraq to rebuild have done NOTHING except soak up money.

Seriously. SOMEONE is lying to us for money. Don't buy this bullshit. The next time an attack happens... WE NEED TO ASK QUESTIONS! Just look at the evidence and really think about it. Don't let them pull this shit again. You can think I'm crazy or stupid or unpatriotic... but at the very least... LOOK at the evidence when this next "attack" happens... do some research. Don't drink the kool-aid!

Its delusional to think your government can prevent or predict every terror attack, the whole concept of terror is never knowing where when how or why. They can attempt to catch or stymie every terror attempt but reality and odds are that the terrorists will succeed again.

Perhaps this is the best defense strategy that our intelligence agencies can come up with. Hear me out, terrorists want us scared, that is why they terrorize us. But if we are already scared shitless, there's not point in attacking us to incite a reaction of fear and dread. So by keeping us completely brain dead on fear, the intelligence agencies actually think that they are keeping us safe.

Or the other options...

The intelligence agencies are, in a round about way, admitting that they suck at their job and are just telling us that they really don't have the means or motivation to stop a terrorist attack.

The intelligence agencies want us scared so that they'll have an excuse to stir the economy by forcing airports to purchase full body scanners that don't really work any better than what we already use.

And the final option...

They don't want to actually do their job, which would be to find out when and where a terrorist attack might occur, so they give citizens vague answers to the question of when will terrorists attack again so that if terrorists attack again they will not have been incorrect.

The war on terror will go on for decades. The government needs to raise awarness when intelligence deems neccessary, Just the same to say nothing would be negligence or worse yet conspiracy. A conundrum for sure. But I have said it before and I'll say it again. I'd rather die at the hands of a terrorist before surrendering any rights to the government in the name on security. Once you get use to surrendering a right, you'll surely be asked to surrender more to insure your security and protection. The only protection we need is from those who would attempt to usurp our rightsand freedoms.

I just hope this time the gov't goes with the lowest bidder.

Of course then they'll probably be off-schedule, so you might want to revise it more 6 - 9 months out to be safe. =)

I can't wait to break out the popcorn to see the aftermath on TV.

the only thing "certain" is that they are wanting us to continue to be scared!

"False Flaggers" are as worthless as "Birthers".

Terrorist know to kill, wherever! whenever! however!!!

They gotta keep the false fear of terrorism alive and well to feed the multi billion dollar war machine.

i kind of doubt it.

the cia is bored again?
not getting enough spy funding to strip freedoms from people?
not enough fear to support the imperialist agenda?
running out of boys and girls to send to their deaths for your buddies profit?
Does someone need to prove nearly improbable physics of a pancake style collapse happening at basically free fall speeds?
or is it just the perfect foot print collapse happening with out explosive aid thing?
How about that whole fire collapsing a steel building when there were building that had been burning longer, and a lot more intensely and yet they are still standing TODAY.

Any responsible government with this information would not release it, rather they would simply make those plotting it disappear. Rather then using it as a fear mongering tactic in their WAR OF TERROR. Against their own people and the world, unless the point was to create fear so that people gleefully give up their freedoms and liberties all in the name of security.

But I guess this is what we get, the once proud world leader, bought and paid for by corporations who now use this once great nation to increase its profits through wars of choice or through imposing its values of “corporatism” because what we have today sure as hell is not capitalism. All in the name of democracy and capitalism,

of course they think a terrorist act will happen, they planned the last one!

It's easy to predict a terrorist attack if you are planning to carry it out yourself (false flag)

I'm not the only one who thinks this, We need to take our country back.

Why would they even bother? they know that if they blow up a building, then we will level their country then level their neibobors country just for good measure. O thats right after that we chopper in palets of cash!

I must admit, this does scare me. After 9/11 and our inability to actually investigate how two planes, caused 3 buildings to fall into their own footprints, anything is possible. Now I for one do not have the courage to say things looked fishy and should have been truly investigated, instead of just moving along. But.... it does lead one to worry about the 'threat' of future attacks.

Their are plenty of "attempted attacks" in the US all the time,the government is going to declare marshall law and strip us of our remaining liberties.

Um, tell us something we don't know. Lets face it, America is no longer insulated from what happens on the rest of the planet. Our governments actions has consequences and the people will pay the price. The only thing we can hope for is that the Obama Administration doesn't attempt to use these incidents as cynically as the Bushies did, i.e. to pass a radical agenda and strip us of the few liberties we have left.

I think the chances of real danger from the government's definition of a terrorist is slim to nil. They are clearly talking about their own plans to keep us afraid and docile. It makes me sick to my stomach and I am really starting to get tired of it. The comment above about police/military spending versus necessity hits it right on the head. This is about moving our wealth, resources (not cash because cash is worthless without our preconceived notions that the wealthy have instilled as a means of keeping resources to themselves) and prosperity into their pockets. The real war is being waged by the rich against the rest of humanity. Even the people in the middle are simply being used for the top 1% to carry out their means. Every single soul on this planet needs to wake up and I am sick of having to say that too. What is it seriously going to take for people to realize they could have it so much better?

oh, so uh, what are they gonna do about it?

Really? You think?

They should know, they're doing the 'False Flag' attacks on us anyway.

Bullshit.

our government is terrorizing our minds!!!! there's nowhere to hide!

Big brother playing mind games or the real deal?

You know what else is a "certainty"?

It'll be ANOTHER false-flag attack. Like 9-11 and the recent Christmas Scare.

this is one of those 'no-win, no lose' statements---if it happens, we warned you, if not, we stopped it.

Apparently we need to justify war with someone again. Who is it this time? Iran? Yemen? Belgium?

They always have been saying this, did you not live in the U.S. for the past 8 years?

I am puzzled as to why this would be considered "stop the presses" news. There have been numerous terrorist attacks and attempted terrorist attacks on the U.S. since 9/11/01. They have just been much smaller in scale -- shoe bombs, underwear bombs, that cab driver from Denver, etc...and those are just the ones about which we have been INFORMED. Why would that activity suddenly cease?

Another "slam dunk" I suppose . . .

They have been pushing this new "Imminent Terrorist Attack" pretty hard. They have Evangelical pastors across the country making sure the "Flock" knows what to do, pass it on.

Well, support for the "war" against terrorism is losing steam rapidly as the fact that 10 or 12 billion a month being transferred from the treasury to the military industrial complex is bankrupting us begins to sink in on the boneheads. Soooo, time to ramp up the fear! Sad part is this, it will work... always has, always will.
Now let me give you something to consider, the criminals from the middle east, which is all the terrorist are, killed three thousand of us 9 years ago..now consider this..by the FBI's own statistics there are between 16 and 20 thousand murders every year in the U.S. by our own criminals..so lets do the math, mid east criminals 3000 in nine years on U.S. soil.. local criminals , using the lowest number annually 144,000 in the last nine years....now being a rational human being it occurs to me that we are at much greater risk from our own criminals than anyone from the mid east..yet our own police depts are facing cuts because of budget realities created by the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan..that is just nuts if you use your head instead of your manipulated fear and anger.

so is it true that it will be on the london clock tower(big ben)?

I smell self-fulfilling prophecy.
