Obama Warned Of Huge al Qeada Threat

Barack Obama is being given ominous advice from leaders on both sides of the Atlantic to brace himself for an early assault from terrorists.

General Michael Hayden, director of the CIA, this week acknowledged that there were dangers during a presidential transition when new officials were coming in and getting accustomed to the challenges. But he added that no “real or artificial spike” in intercepted transmissions from terror suspects had been detected.

President Bush has repeatedly described the acute vulnerability of the US during a transition. The Bush Administration has been defined largely by the 9/11 attacks, which came within a year of his taking office.

His aides have pointed to al-Qaeda’s first assault on the World Trade Centre, which occurred little more than a month after Bill Clinton became President in 1993. There was an alleged attempt to bomb Glasgow airport in Gordon Brown’s first days in Downing Street and a London nightclub attack was narrowly thwarted.

Lord West of Spithead, the Home Office Security Minister, spoke recently of a “huge threat”, saying: “There is another great plot building up again and we are monitoring this.”

Intelligence chiefs on both sides of the Atlantic have indicated that such warnings refer more to a general sense of foreboding than fear of an imminent or specific plan.

    Hello To Whom it my concern,

    So now we know from CIA Intelligence that an attacks from al-Qaeda were a danger during a presidential transition when new officials were coming in and getting accustomed to the challenges. As President Bill Clinton became President in 1993
    About a month in Office came the attack on the WTC in 1993. Plus within a year of President George W. Bush taking office came the attack on the WTC in 2001.
    As fare as I know watching the TV movie “Path to 911” indicated that there was not enough professional help for investigating the evidence put forth on pictures of alleged hijackers and who they where, translating documents and computer documents and so forth. Now Lord West of Spithead, the Home Office Security Minister, spoke recently of a “huge threat”, saying: “There is another great plot building up again and we are monitoring this.” I do hope this time we heed this and take every precaution we can in preventing another attack in the US or anywhere in the word.

    Although I am not a person to “profile” anyone (I have lived in Europe for the past ten years and just moved back to the US) I saw something very concerning last night at my local Barnes and Nobel book store. There was a young (20-something) Arabic man reading “When All Hell Breaks Loose,” a book about preparing for disasters or terrorism. We should all be taking this threat very seriously. They are!

    Why don’t we just ask the Israelis? They seem to have an uncanny knowledge about how and where these kinds of events will play themselves out.

    BE NICE! This will be difficult, as I’m wading waist deep through the toxic waste of the fear mongers who have destroyed our country for their, (Those for whom the Bushies work) gain. A. Get this straight, 911 WAS AN INSIDE JOB, and all that that has happened since: war for oil, torture, supression of cilil liberties, illegal surveilance, etc. B. Now we are being told that we are to be terrorized again, so that they can further exploit us. Oh, and yeah, the economic collapse is part of the plan. GOT GOLD? P.S. The comments are painfully naive.

    The current financial and political scenario for my beloved America is very dark. Let’s have some fun and lighten it up a little.

    For example, Joe Biden recently admitted that the US could “expect a generated event” right after Obama takes office, and that though many Americans would hate what Obama does about it, it will be “necessary”. What could this event be??…and what results could it trigger?? Who’s ends would it serve??

    In science, a theory is tested by the “theory of predictive results”. For instance, your theory is that water turns to ice at 32 degrees. You chill the water and confirm the hypothesis as a fact.

    I have a theory of who and what is behind 911 (be afraid, be very afraid) and the subsequent destruction of America…the USAPatroit Act, etc. Inside job!! If I’m right, here’s my prediction…

    Between 2/1/09 and 5/1/09 or so, an event (probably San Francisco) will precipitate a declaration of Martial Law. Since all US troops are in Iraq/Afghanistan, Obama will “be forced” to use UN troops to patrol US cities. After all, returning US soldiers will not fire at their countrymen, but, UN troops will not hesitate. Those patriots who protest will be sent to the awaiting Camps.

    And, why would anyone who is an “American” wish to see our proud Republic destroyed?…Our unbroken 230 year rule of law ended?

    Because the Aliens are coming…and the people will be terrified and need to feel “protected”. That’s why all the emphasis on a “New World Order”. If this is not correct, then the ensuing civilization that results from the Nazification of America will be catastrophic indeed.
