Al Qaeda could attack refineries! Power plants!

Funny how now everything is about Al Qaeda. I thought Iraq was the threat.

BTW, I’m sure OBL is taking notes as you speak. Maybe you should just STFU!

1. welcome to DU

And, don't you know, Al Qaeda, Osama, Iraq & 9/11 are all tied together? It was a secret plot between Osama & Saddam to lure Bush with fake WMDs in Iraq. Anybody who questions their ties is aiding the terrorists.

2. Refineries seem like an easy target

Couldn't someone with a high powered rifle cause a serious amount of damage with a 50 cent bullet?

Gulp.

[Zynx]

13. Not really

Unless they're using a .50 cal or 20mm cannon, the bullet probably wouldn't even go through something, much less start a fire.

However, in Alaska, someone did use a .338 Mag to blast a hole in the Pipeline.

3. Um, OK then

Why the f*ck don't you provide some funding for these vulnerable targets--while you're at it, you might want to check some of that stuff coming off the boats. Oh, sorry, there are no ports near Crawford so I guess it doesn't matter.

4. Hey, Al Qaeda could attack FoxNews, too...

They can't scare smart people into voting for that incompetent a**

Bush's poll numbers were down and then the negative U.S. Senate Intelligence Committee report was due to come out today. With the newest terror alert they were hoping that people are so scared of attacks that they wont pay attention to Kerry/Edwards and ignore Bush's failure as a President.

5. there's an idea...that way they don't hav eto travel for the "video shoot"

7. Why would Busheviks Employees attack other Bushevik Employees?

It makes no sense.

[tandot]

14. You're right, tom_paine. FoxNews would be the only thing still standing

and Halliburton, too

6. Forget Iraq, gotta pump Al Qaeda now...

so that when Pakistan delivers that "high value target" at the beginning of the Dem convention, it will be seen as a really big deal and suck up all the news coverage. :eyes:

[skypilot]

8. Could, could, could...

Anyone COULD do any damned thing. :eyes:

[Beloved Citizen]

9. How can Bush be successful in the war on terrorism...

...if nearly 3 years after 9/11 we are still under assault from Al Qaeda?

These are the problems of failure, not success!

[merh]

10. "Terrorist will not decide this election, the American people will."

Kerry/Edwards campaign statement of 7/8/04

[Scairp]

11. Since Iraq has been an abject failure

They must dredge up bin Laden again to try and instill fear in the American people. I guess they have forgotten the lessons of the boy who cried "wolf" too many times. I think hardly anyone outside of the dumbass media is even paying attention. God knows those jokers have been led around by the nose by the GOP-spin machine for along time.

[tjwash]

12. Nobody cares about Bin Laden. He's of no concern and probably dead.

15. Maybe if we had spent 87 BILLION dollars . . .

...securing OUR infrastructure, this wouldn't be an issue.

[theHandpuppet]

16. EXACTLY

But then that's rational and doesn't play into the fearmongering game plan.

[leesa]

17. The only terrorists you really need to be afraid of are in the WH
