What’s next?

Al-Qaeda 'planning big British attack
is what the Times Online is reporting this morning in a disturbing article which states, "Spy chiefs warn that one operative had said he was planning an attack on "a par with Hiroshima and Nagasaki" in an attempt to "shake the Roman throne", a reference to the West."

The article makes many suppositions and quotes from sources in an attempt to back this headline up, but the underlying message that Al-Qaeda is far from through is the important thing here.

Since the 9/11 attack upon the World Trade Center many have openly stated that al-Qaeda is in the planning stages of additional massive attacks. It would certainly make perfect sense as we never did bring bin Laden to justice.

That in itself is something that has constantly amazed me, once the focus of a world wide hunt, bin laden faded into his caves, coming out of his darkness once in awhile to make his threats to the world then supposedly retreating to the safety of his cave again.

I for one do not buy into this, it was evident that America quickly turned the hunt from the most wanted man in the world into hunting for other top name terrorist and insurgents, al-Zarqawi, Saddam and other individuals popping into the news radar from time to time.

Whatever the reasoning behind this change of world wide focus, the fact remains, al-Qaeda is alive and well and waiting to make their moves.

The question remains, do they have the capabilities of attacks as large as the Times are reporting and the answer would have to be a very big yes, it could be accomplished in any number of ways, from nuclear devices to biological weapons or even dirty bombs. Each of which, if properly applied and activated could produce casualties in the numbers the article is saying.

In my opinion, our intelligence resources and special operations teams should be expanding more energy to effectively dismantle the leadership and infrastructure of al-Qaeda, from bin-Laden all the way down to the expandable suicide bomber. We should follow through on the threats President Bush first made, to punish any nation working with or harboring al-Qaida and/or the Taliban, including Pakistan, Syria and Iran, then and only then will we make any headway into reducing the threat of terror attacks upon the people of America and England.

Some analysts are saying that we have burned up and effectively damaged our military resources in the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, yes, this could very well be a possibility, we do not have a limitless resource of manpower in which to draw from, however our intelligence recourses and special operations teams should be put to better use to hunt these murdering psychopaths down, bringing them to justice, or justice to them.

Its not IF, but when and where the next attackS are gonna be..

The weak nations in Europe are supposed to be the next victims, but, really, it could be anywhere.. There is a list as long as my arm of those places that have tried to not be associated with the conflicts in Iraq and The Stan, cause they thank that will excuse them from the scrutiny and evil of the Mooselimbs..

But that idea will only lead them into bein taken as slaves and not have their countries suffer the carnage.. Americans will be all killed cause we are hard-headed and have a will strong enuff to defy their wishes.. The Mooselimbs will have to kill all of us and not just take us as slaves.. We WILL NOT go peacefully into that Goodnight !!

The Brits do seem to me to be the Ultimate target right now tho.. Their anti-terrorism activities have been spotlighted and will be a trophy for the Mooselimbs to put on their wall..

The Brits have made themselves a target by all the claims and reportin of Terrorists that have been caught and all the operations that they have told of stoppin and ongoin investigations that are supposed to be holdin back the carryin out of new attacks.. But it only takes one small group to actually get thru the cracks to give em another Wake Up Call..

But I suspect that Al Q is usin most of their resources to assemble the Caliphate together like they want it.. They want to connect a string of territories across Africa and Europe together so that they will have easier travel and be able to have safe spots to go to hide after their attacks..

But if you will notice, it seems to me that we are "hurdin" these dirtbags into smaller and smaller areas.. They are bein concentrated into areas of Pakistan, Africa, Syria and even Iran..

Even tho our Ground Forces are busy in Iraq and The Stan, we still have plenty of Firepower available to saturate a few places with massive AND selective munitions and take out a bunch of dirtbags with little effort IF they are stupid enuff to mount another major attack on the West..

We have enuff of a Bitch-Slap in reserve to keep the Mooselimb world beatin themselves on the head and chest and wailin for many years !! And the dirtbags know this !!

Intel might have been worthless before 9-11 and leadin up to Iraq, but much more and better Intel today has these sunzabitches in their sights and we now know where they are and where they go and how they get there..

Like the Marines say; "You can run, but you'll only die tired" !!

It didnt all come thru on the last one, but you may still have to piece it together to get it to work..

I like Bibi and listen, watch, or read whatever I can about him.. I'd still like to see him in the "driver's seat" in Israel..
