US Warns of New Attacks on London (can we say distract! distract!)
http://www.timesonline.co.uk/article/0,,2087-1734148,00.html

"AMERICAN intelligence chiefs have warned that Al-Qaeda terrorists are plotting to drive hijacked fuel tankers into petrol stations in an effort to cause mass casualties in London and US cities in the next few weeks.



The leaked warning, contained in a bulletin issued by the US Department for Homeland Security last week, says the attacks aim to create catastrophic damage at about the time of the fourth anniversary of the September 11 attacks on New York and Washington.

The warning came as it emerged that the British Department for Transport had for the first time issued guidelines ordering a tightening of security around the UK road tanker fleet.

The US warning has been circulated among law enforcement agencies and fuel transport agencies. Although a preamble states that “no other intelligence exists to corroborate this specific threat”, the intelligence report is highly specific."

I wouldn't be surprised if some oil tanker drove into a gas station in the UK, and I wouldn't be surprised if we hired the pawn to do it either. This asshat is in deepshit. I have a good memory, I remember last year, this time as a matter of fact, when John Kerry was doing well in the polls and they put up an orange alert to distract the focus off Kerry. I remember they did that crap with the RNC too. I rmemeber that everytime they were falling in the polls, suddenly there was a terror related breaking story. EVERY FUCKING TIME. They're drowing and they know it, but what lengths will they go to to "turn things around" ??

I think they'll stop at nothing. Someone give me reason to believe otherwise.

1. I'm sure there are terrorists sorts who would do that
and I'm sure Bush is capable, too. Who knows what's going on anymore. Just don't fill up when a tanker truck is nearby, I guess.

They've been talking about this tanker truck scenario since the days after 9-11. Who are they trying to give the idea to?

3. Wait a minute-
wasn't this announced earlier this week, regarding attacks with fuel tanker trucks that are supposed to occur here? And then it was withdrawn the very next day because the source was not credible?

5. Interesting on the timing
Wouldn't that be convient? Especially with Ms. Sheehan and the low polling numbers. I'm sure Blair would use it to his expense too. I can't stand these people anymore!

11. wish I could
tell you otherwise but I fear you are right!
They will stop at nothing! These bastard son-of-a-bitches! They don't give a damn about the troops, they dont give a damn about us and they dont give a damn about their sheeple followers either!
Atleast we're "awake" imagine the devastation these Repukes will endure when it's too late! For some of them I feel they will get their just dessert but for some I just feel sorry for them.
It's getting bad folks......their is a shift happening, this time I dont think its going to go away. I think this ones here apon us for the long haul!

Prepare yourself....spend time with your family, tell people you love them! Don't waste precious moments. Don't put off for tomorrow.....

Peace
