According to the Wall Street Journal, several top US intelligence officials have determined that an al-Qaeda attack against the United States within the next three to six months is absolutely “certain.”
Officials say that Detroit underbomber Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab has been providing considerable intelligence to FBI interrogators over the past week. It was unclear if this intelligence was the direct basis of the declaration.
But the officials seemed to indicate that Abdulmutallab’s failed attempt at bombing an airliner was at least part of the announcement, showing a growing willingness for even al-Qaeda’s auxiliaries to attempt direct attacks against the United States.
Abdulmutallab’s arrest and eventual (presumptive) trial have been the source of considerable debate, with many in Congress insisting that even though his attack was against a civilian airplane far from any actual warzones he should be turned over to the military for detention and “enhanced” interrogation without legal requirements to charge him with any crimes.
The boogey man is coming! Run, run! The boogie man is coming! We will herd you like the sheep that you are. Give us the rest of what little remains of your Constitution. Give us tens-of-billions more of your tax money. Watch more t.v. You are sleepy, very sleepy.
Hey folks, google Operation Northwood and mull that one over. That was an attempt of the Joint Chiefs of Staff to convince J.F.K. to allow them to shoot down an American airliner or two and blame it on Castro in order to herd the sheep into going into war and invading Cuba.
For the love of all that is holy, if something does happen it will be a set up. Wake up!
"tens-of-billions"……?????? More like a trillion $$$$$$..!!!!!! Current military budget around 3/4 trillion each year…. Thats $750,000,000.00 =750 BILLION
Just what kind of Torture Technic was used this time? how can any one trust any information coming out of an interrogation basement ?
U.S. officials said.
His name's Mike D and he gets respect. Good to see people arent falling for this crap, as Al-Queda ( the database ) doesnt exist.
Thanks, Mike D. You state the obvious: When US "officials" mouth moves you can be certain lies follow.
This is so absurdly evil, this latest diktat from the bowels of Mordor on the Potomac, you have to wonder just how stupid people could possibly be to believe it. No. Wait! I've been over to other sites that have been linked through Antiwar.com and without a doubt this very type of slavish drone lives and breaths.
I wonder if Obama's sinking poll numbers, th3 unemployment figures and state of the economy has anything to do with this press release but I guess I am just being cynical, huh ??
We need an excuse to stop the Nov elections, It worked for Bush now it will work for Obama.
They_tortured_the_guy_so_he_told_Them_what_they_wanted_to_hear!
kill the guy to shut it ass up
Al-Qaeda attack in next 3-6 months is certain.
Translation: We need to buy millimeter wave scanners for all of the airports! Torture is justified, see the results? Trade your freedom for a false sense of security! You're more likely to die from a lightning strike than from a terrorist attack in the U.S., but lets throw billions of dollars at contractors to pretend we are protecting you!
do you think the Al-qaeda will try to Obamanate th pres?
I wonder where CIA finds presumed moslims willing to "stage" attacks on U.S., like this Nigerian guy.
They must be very well paid.
scenerio #1,they were so jealous that the humans weren't using the the channels of communications(it's really a giant cash register that makes a big sucking sound anytyme ya get near a mailbox,or financial account,looks kinda like a toaster oven with maritial beads stuck all over it,un")that they decided to destroy it instead of letting it fall into enemy hands(the space port at Nippur aka sodom & gomorroh)martial law DOT COM,just a wild guess,yer a dangerous man CharlieBrown and proudly so
lets plot something to take care of a situation that can escalate
The USA is being conditioned as to who to blame anyway. Al-qaeda is a phantom that does not exist execpt for a Muslim sounding name that certain operatives needed to covertly lay 9-11 blame on Muslims.
The motto, By Deception, Thou Shalt Make War, worked well and will work again unless the American people wake up as to who is pulling the strings.
Really..I'm just going to grieve over this one….The United States of Amnesia is trying to convince those that are stupid enough to believe the sky is actually green -that this is the truth-…All the mainstream media will do is inject people with more excuses and reasons as to why, they should invade countries like Iran. I wouldn't be surprised if H.A.R.R.P was actually behind all those "natural disasters"..what has society gotten into? I don't believe anything, and if they claim that Al-Queda is planning an attack, then hmm…strange as it may seem, weren't both the Bush family and and the leader of Al Queda (Bin Landan's family) friends? It's another conspiracy.
Remember, folks: this isn't a US Government piece of shit. By publishing it as a straight news report, it's become antiwar.com's piece of shit, too.
Hopefully Crawford Texas at Al Bushommas cave
Michael Savage had a lot to say about this tonight on his program.
He suggested the citizens of America set up an organization to investigate our politicians who are socialists and communists as Senator Joseph McCarthy confronted them.
We need to do this to save our country. I am tired of the Democrats who are nothing but communists and dictators. I want to go back to the rule of law by our American Constitution.
