Has U.S. threatened to vaporize Mecca?

What kind of response is that?

Oh, I get it. It's the response people give when their argument has been blown to sh*t.

Frankly I'm not afraid of your police-state 'time to make some calls' tactics. Oh, you were joking? Ha ha ha! Incredibly funny.

Now you've done it...McGentrix is calling the Adirondack Americans For Liberty Miiltia and Bait Store....keep an eye out for those black duck blinds....

Also, let's think logically: attacks are meant to succeed. AQ is up against a giant opponent with tons of resources. They have to be careful. Better to take things slow than to rush and ruin plans.

There have been many reports "attacks" by al-queda that have not been to the scale of the WTC.

They are not patient, they are active but somewhat "scattered".

Those of you who think otherwise are just plain wrong.

Have you or your posse of "me too's" any idea how many probable al Qaeda attacks have been stopped? Do you even care?

The threat of terrorism is real. One bomb is all it would take to drastically change the lives of millions of Americans. Would you rather the US administration ignore that threat?

Here's one.

Here's another

So we can put you down for 'no, Bush didn't threaten to nuke Mecca' too? Great. So far it's 5 to 1.

Clark County Undersheriff Douglas Gillespie said Tuesday that while two of his officers had indeed seen the footage, authorities didn't see an imminent threat. "At no time did the information gleaned from these videos change the threat level in Las Vegas," Gillespie said, adding that he believed his department handled the information correctly.

Sharon Lever, an assistant U.S. attorney in Las Vegas, offered another reason in an e-mail she sent Detroit prosecutors in fall 2002 shortly after they alerted Las Vegas to the first tape.

"The FBI here has looked at the tape. ... They said it is not a surveillance tape," Lever wrote.

Officials are at a loss to explain some of the references in Justice Department documents from 2002 and 2003, except to say various officials had differing recollections or incomplete information and some of the prosecutors in the Detroit case are now under investigation.

Captured al Qaeda operations chief Khalid Sheik Mohammed has told interrogators that his organization had plans to attack the Metrorail system in Washington, possibly by igniting a fire, according to law enforcement officials.

Law enforcement and intelligence sources said that Mohammed, the self-described architect of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, provided vague information about the plot along with plans to attack other U.S. targets at home and abroad, including the U.S. Capitol, and the Israeli Embassy in Washington.

During interrogation sessions conducted after his March 1 capture in Pakistan, Mohammed did not provide details about a terrorist strike on the Metro system, and authorities have been unable to determine whether there is any credible threat to mass transit here, two U.S. officials said yesterday.

They cautioned that although Mohammed appears to be cooperating, he may be trying to mislead officials. He and other detainees may be providing false information to cause panic, misdirect intelligence agencies or curry favor with captors without actually giving up any secrets, they said.
