WASHINGTON - Top intelligence and military officials say the lack of attacks in the United States since 2001 does not mean terrorist groups are not planning new strikes, with weapons of mass destruction if they can get them.
Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld told a House hearing on Wednesday that it is reasonable to expect attacks and
CIA Director Porter Gross told the Senate Intelligence Committee the Iraq war was giving terrorists experience and contacts for future attacks.
FBI Director Robert Mueller said a sleeper group may have been in place in the United States for years awaiting orders to attack
Reasonable to expect attacks
Giving terrorist experience
Sleeper cells waiting ordersIs there something wrong with this picture?
Is the new national intelligence director,John Negroponte going to help? How?
3 1/2 years after 911, going on 3 years in Iraq, and this is where we are at!
Excuse me, but I think in are in big trouble with terrorism.
On Oil
How about a tax break for buying an auto that gets over 30 mpg. Bigger breaks for every 5 mpg above 30?
On War
How about a 10% surcharge on income taxes to pay for the Iraqi war. Wow,wonder how many would be for the war then? As it now stands no one is paying. ( This was done in the late 1965 or so )
On Illegal immigration.
If we open are borders for aliens to do work that Americans won't do, how long will it take for corporations to start hiring aliens to do work that Americans will do?
