Top Level Assasination

[Parche]

Did anyone hear on the news about a so called
Top level Assasination that Al-Kida was supposedly
going to do.

I heard something on the News this morning about it, caught
my attention

This smells like a Bush/CIA scare tactic
I am very leery of this type of so called news
And worried about John Kerry's safety

1. Maybe this is the way....

the neocons will get rid of the Cheney-albatross around Bush's neck? And make him a martyr to the cause in the process? And clear the way for a more "likeable" vp, like, say, McCain?

Just speculating.

2. There was a discussion here previously

about Bush surviving an "assasination" attempt if his popularity continues to fall.

Worked wonders for Rayguns and it made a damn fine movie

4. Sign of the Beast?

some Fundi-Mentals believe that the anti-Christ will survive an assassination attempt and lead the world into prosperity. Which may exclude the Commander and Chimp, he couldn't lead the world in a one man bike race, let alone prosperity!

8. George ought to worry about that.

I mean, sure they'll tell HIM it's only an attempt......

3. I think Drudge had it. Don't know how true it is.

or who the target would be.

5. Dangit! Too bad they cancelled the "Terror Futures Market"...

We could be placing our bets & making some money!

6. Here is the link

The newspaper, citing U.S. intelligence officials, said al Qaeda would target an American or foreign leader either within the United States or abroad.

The Washington Times . . .

14. I saw it on CBS this morning.

Just to let ya know.

10. it's on Yahoo at AFP

This is a disgrace:

"The goal of the next attack is twofold: to damage the US economy and to undermine the US election," an intelligence official said, referring to the November 2 presidential election pitting Republican President George W. Bush and Democrat John Kerry.

"The view of Al-Qaeda is 'anybody but Bush,'" said the official.

These people continue to spin and politicize, crying that Al-Cicada wants Kerry to win. WAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!

11. Of course they have assassination plans. Is this really a suprise?

Its barely news worthy.

[democratreformed]

12. I saw it and was wondering if Bill Clinton was in danger.

In keeping with the "old" intel, I figured it might be referring to Clinton (he he).

13. Al Qaeda might kill someone important, somewhere, at sometime?

How much are we paying these fucks?
