Planned terrorist attacks on US

[maynard]

Of course we haven't been hit. They are hitting all other countries first. I hate it when conservatives say that Homeland Security is working because we haven't been hit. Don't they realize that maybe they haven't planned anything for us yet. Terrorists have patience. We do not. How many years did it take between the two WTC attacks? Americans do not have any patience at all. We just love patting ourselves on the back for things not done.

I teach public school and since one of my jobs is to think one step ahead of what the kids are thinking, outside of academics, I can see so many holes in Homeland Security. They need to put public school teachers on the Homeland Security Committees. It would change how Homeland Security is done. Terrorists & Teenagers who are up to no good think the same way.

1. Who is planning to terrorize the US? nt

2. And because we were hit

They proceeded to rip up the Constitution. What will happen when we're hit again? Martial Law?

3. The day they passed The Patriot Act, the terrorists won

And the day we invaded Iraq, they may have assured the destruction of American Democracy forever.

4. or possibly even worse: Martial Law!

:evilgrin:

6. Thanks!

I knew there was something wrong and just couldn't see it! I shouldn't start typing until I wake up completely.

5. conservatives patting themselves on the back

Conservatives just keep patting themselves on the back because they think they have prevented new attacks due to Homeland Security measures. We haven't had any attacks because they haven't planned any attacks. They have patience! They can wait a few years before planning the next attack.

7. "Homeland Security is working because we haven't been hit"

is just another way of saying "bring it on!". We all know how well that particular demonstration of arrogance worked.

8. there are 3 major "exercises" I've heard about going on right now

1. NYC chemical attack exercise (no link)
2. Texas biological attack exercise
3. South Carolina nuclear attack exercise (lost link)

I'd get out of NYC, Texas, and South Carolina until the end of August.
