    The subways here have always been a target-
    if you see something say something-
    they are animals- but most of you feel it's not appropriate we are over there kicking ass-

    I think this is the future of terror against America. Attacks on Americans visiting or living in other countries make for a lot easier target. Coordinating an attack in the US is a lot harder than it was 10 years ago.

    I can see it happening. Its only a matter of time before it happens again in the US. We can't catch them all and all it takes is for one group(or person) to get thru.
    Thats a lovely accent you have. New Jersey?

    An attack on US soil would serve US interests perfectly.

    Who are animals whose ass we are kicking? The Iraqi civilians?? Yeah, killing thousands and thousands of innocent people, on top of poisoning them and future generations w\ DU rounds, doesn't really sit well w/ me.

    quite honestly id have to be fucking stupid to end up at brighton beach when i was emaning to be at broad channel. but i guess my real point was that public transport doesnt scare me. its my main mode of transport no matter what city im in. :D

    You do realise that ever since 9/11 and long before these "animals" have said, repeatedly and continuously, that they will attack the US as long as they are "over there kicking ass."

    What does the US do? Starts more wars in the Middle East and continues to kill hundreds of innocent people.

    Anyway, I hope it doesn't happen.
    THANK YOU, LOSTDAWG!

    Speaking as someone who takes the subway about six times a day, that sucks. But ah well, what are you gonna do.

    I am gonna pray for your safety and all the friends who live in any major city.

    it's just the "motherland" keeping the herd in check...

    i bet they create a fear so they can justify weaponry and the process of drilling....peace...

    sending prayers...

    I'd certainly prefer that to somebody actually wanting to blow my ass up.

    I must say, I'm surprised we haven't seen more instances of suicide bombers in the States. It seems like it'd be difficult if not possible to stop entirely.

    Maybe all Bush's draconian laws have stopped some of these terrorists. Hopefully the trend continues (no attacks, not more questionable laws and tactics). It seems terrorists have turned their attention to killing Americans and Brits on foreign soil given what's in India the last 24 hours.

    Digster, happy thanksgiving....I am surprised too...but very grateful and as I have a chance to digest, I am grateful that we have drills, etc. (only in moderation) I am grateful that people have protection, here.

    I have been praying for any wave patterns that are directed towards any major city to bounce on out into space....peace...

    thank you for your acknowledgement, you made my day...

    will you join me in a ion of prayer????

    To invoke fear in the general populous thereby allowing the crazies to continue taking away our rights (i.e patriot act etc....) and to allow the war machine to keep on rockin in the free world.



    (at least that's what I think commy may have meant.)

    Just look at the patterns. They somehow turned hijackers from Saudi Arabia working for an organization based out of Afghanistan into "Saddam Hussein was responsible." In order to invade Iraq. And people bought it.

    A subway attack in NY could be blamed on any country, probably Iran maybe Syria.


    edit:basically what GTFLYGIRL mentioned above.

    All I know is that I have a class-mate who was in the secret service and according to him, the intel for the past 4 years has been that there will be an attack ~6 months after Obama's inauguration.

    It wouldn't surprise me at all. I'm just keeping myself and my family prepared.
