A bad moon a rising

It is interesting to note that while our Congress is attempting to scale down and withdraw from the war in Iraq that al-Qaeda is planning full scale nuclear attacks in seven US cities, according to a book titled, "The Day of Islam: The Annihilation of America and the Western World,".

As usual, people within our government fail to see the forests for the trees in the never ending quest to pull the US out of a war.

The article paints a bleak picture based on information, intelligence, interviews and conjecture, however it is written, the very thought of nuclear attacks upon the United States is enough to drive one to the air raid shelters, that is if they are still functioning after all these years.

The book authored by investigative reporter and former FBI consultant Paul Williams reveals the alarming potential for nuclear terrorism on U.S. soil and dwells on a few of the culprets who will be responsible, al-Qaeda of course, the primary.

Williams says these cities are New York, Washington, D.C., Las Vegas, Miami, Boston, Houston, and Los Angeles.

The article provides confirmation to these events by, "FBI Director Robert Mueller, who in an interview with NewsMax, confirmed Williams' main claim. Mueller said al-Qaida's paramount goal is clear: to detonate a nuclear device that would kill hundreds of thousands of Americans."

Since the attacks which took place on 9/11 people everywhere have prophesied the additional doom and gloom yet to come at the hands of al-Qaeda. Has anyone in the government anti war circles ever stepped back and actually listened to any of these comments?

It would be pretty difficult to miss any one it, they are even a part of our weekly coffee get together at the local coffee shop. Sooner or later the talk of what al-Qaeda has up their sleeve will pop up during our arm chair quarterback discussions of the world.

If everyday people such as my coffee buddies an me are discussing the event s to come, then someone, somewhere in the government at least has to think about it once!

Along these same lines of thought, one can just about forecast what will take place within our government should one of the pictures of death and destruction take place, name calling, passing the blame and the buck will be first and foremost, that is if anyone is left to do this, should one of the forecasts actually take place.

We can only hope that someone, somewhere in the political government nest of anti-war politicians is thinking of these exact scenarios and putting plans into action to combat them. However, the truth to the whole thing is sadder yet, they are not thinking, not planning and when it is too late, they will just blame the other guy.
