WASHINGTON - Al-Qaida terrorists may be plotting more urgently to attack the United States to maintain their credibility and ability to recruit followers, the U.S. military commander in charge of domestic defense said Thursday.
Air Force Gen. Gene Renuart, chief of the U.S. Northern Command, told reporters he has not seen any direct threats tied to the U.S. presidential elections. But he said it would be imprudent to think that such threats are not there.
The chatter, which included public audio and video tapes released on the Internet by al-Qaida leaders, suggests that they are looking for a way to have a big impact again, he said. Pressed for details, he said the chatter was more common but "whether that's louder or more ominous, I'm not sure I'm ready to draw that conclusion."
He did, however, repeat his assertion — which he first made last July — that he believes there are al-Qaida cells or sympathizers within the United States.
President Bush, in a speech, also said the United States remained under threat from terrorists. Marking the fifth anniversary of the creation of the Homeland Security Department, Bush said that in the aftermath of the Sept. 11 attacks "it was hard to imagine that we would reach this milestone without another attack on our homeland."
Translation: Give the bloated military more money or the Bogeyman will getchya!

1. Seems to me that outsourcing is a MUCH bigger threat.
And they've distracted us from it long enough.

So you think outsourcing is a bigger threat than people who suicide-bomb?

Soon they will be shifting their thoughts into the compartment that excoriates President Bush for not doing enough to prevent 9/11.
They really are a case study in mental deficiency.

Can't have it both ways DUmb asses. You would cry if we were attacked and no one said it was coming. You cry when someone tries to warn you. Pick a side. :mental: :bird:
