Exclamation Terrorist Strike!
I am rarely given to Knee-Jerk reactions.

I have this evening, received this message, passed to me from a highly stable and credible US source (and US citizen).

I post it here for everyone's information, without any personal comment, since I believe that would be totally redundant.

Quote:

I just now received the following - rather cryptic- mssg. from a friend who is very well-connected - one in whom I have great confidence:

"Just had a confidential email from a source in high position in US saying they are expecting a major terrorist attack imminently and certainly before November 2."

Yup---we call that the late October-November surprise---I'm very suspicious. If you dont know, Bush seems to be in trouble as the electorate begins to see his shallowness. We expect that something will happen to keep him in office.

Yeah--people will vote and the Democrats will again fail in their efforts to steal an election!

I believe that highly probable in this day and age! But it still is a tad frightening not knowing where, how or when!

This is fairly typical of the Bush adminsitration--terror alerts go up when his polling numbers go down---At this point we have heard nothing here so it will be interesting to see how this plays out.

Please forget the politics, for a moment, if you can folks!

This is apparently, serious!

I am really concerned and consequently fear for all my friends and relatives in the USA.

I hope to God (and as a Christian, I say this reverently), that this is a false alert.

However, because of the source, I do take this information with considered gravity.

I assume Paq, that you have some connections within British intelligence? What shocks me that if someone over there knows, they haven't issued the alert yet--Should happen soon if its legitimate.

Thanks Paq.
Hopefully we'll be able to thwart their attempt.

Found this! What do you think Paq??? Is this anything like what you received?? If the U.S. knows this...why aren't WE being told!!

Subject: Terrorist Attack on US Soil is Imminent Importance: High
LAW ENFORCEMENT SENSITIVE

At the meeting of the Southern District of the Anti-Terrorism Advisory Council (ATAC) that was held yesterday in Houston, US Attorney Michael Shelby informed the group that a terrorist attack of 09/11/01 proportions was going to be carried out on US soil within the next 6 weeks.

Mr. Shelby stated that on 09/13/04, US Attorney General John Ashcroft had a conference call with all 93 US Attorneys, an event which is extremely rare. The US Attorneys were informed that without a doubt an attack was going to be perpetrated in the US within the next 6 weeks, prior to the elections. Mr. Shelby urgently requested that all law enforcement be aware of any situation that may be out of the ordinary and report the activity immediately. Mr. Shelby also requested that we get the word out to patrol officers and detectives to talk to their informants and report anything odd or remotely suspicious. Mr. Shelby ended this warning by saying that unless we get a bit of "luck" and the attack can be detected and prevented, that another attack of 9/11 scale will be carried out.

Please disseminate to all of your law enforcement contacts ASAP.

If the evidence is credible, and the President raises the threat level, will the Democrats be crying foul for raising the threat level this close to the election?

On the flipside, if we ARE attacked, will Bush be critcized for NOT raising the alert level?

Answer to both; Of course.

I say this not to politicize the story, but to rant a little about the innevitability that the Democrats WILL politicize this ... whichever way it goes.
