FBI Warns of Suicide Attacks in U.S.
Federal officials notified law enforcement agencies Monday of a potential al-Qaida terrorist attack in which public buildings are targeted by suicide bombers.

According to NBC News, the analysis by the FBI and the Department of Homeland Security describes a scenario where a dozen attackers each carrying 20 kilograms of explosives storm a building, "seal off escape and access points, and occupy it long enough to set and detonate their explosive packages."

I know the source is shaky. I did try to find a link on NBC News and MSNBC but using their search functions was all but useless.

1. I believe it. Look at what Spiro Igloo is doing to the Mcain Campaign.
If SHE'S not a suicide bomber, I don't know who is.

7. But the cause for concern...
...is a recently discovered audio tape of Al Qaida training. This tape was made several
years ago, but recently discovered.

Why announce this now?

Seven years have passed without this happening...why now?

15. Came At The Right Time To Give McCain A Talking Point At The Debate......

16. Can they kill more Americans than the financial crisis?
Can they kill more Americans than Katrina and Ike?

Tell them to stop being babies and get ready for REAL trouble.

20. So why are we "fighting them over there"?
I still find it just about impossible to believe so many Americans 0supposedly from a first-world nation- can possibly be so deeply stupid. I know, they prove it's true daily. I still find it almost impossible to believe.
