Are the terrorist testing our defenses

[bacpacker]

I ran across some links and have been seeing some stuff on a couple of other sites. Some of the news reports on different events sound very similar. Enough to make me think it could well be true. I just wonder how much of this was going on before 9/11? Here are a bunch of links to look thru.

EDIT: Hopefully that fixed all the links.

I just wish if the terrorist wanted to hit someone that they would hit those in charge and not the innocent people. I don't think to many of us would get upset if they had hit the white house, congress, or the senate.

Makes me wonder where they are getting their training/support. Syria, Libya.

[Twitchy]

Broken links there, not sure what happened...

[bacpacker]

Well crap. I've already dumped what I saved them on. I'll see if I can relocate them.

I do believe it's from our own military...ya know, train all of those poor innocent rebels that can't fend for themselves and then let's arm them as well...then walk away so they can snicker behind our backs as they plan their attack. So how's that been working for us so far?

[bacpacker]

If you listen to enough press conferences and briefings and listen to what is being discussed I think that is exactly what is going on. We started funding Al-Quieda thru the CIA in the 80's to fight the Russians. Watch Charlie Wilsons war. It's a movie, but not that far from the truth. I don't believe the CIA has ever stopped.

Saudi funds them, as well as Muslim charities in the US that purport to "help the children in the ME"

[ladyhk13]

Yup...and the American people continue to be in denial.

not all of the American people are in denial! :)

Just enough of them to be in the majority to elect the administration which creates policy to send 1.6 billion to Pakistan to fund some more terror and flag burners while we can't seem to figure out how to pay our seniors and they lose more and more of their medical benefits (not talking about the welfare population).

Our defenses are tested everyday, we just dont hear about it.

always be vigilant and aware of your surroundings.

[Stormfeather]

Yes, we are tested every day, and most times John Q Public will never hear about it. I liken it to Men In Black mindset. (minus the aliens of course) There is always a threat, be it commercial, military, economical, or whatever, theres always some person or country trying to find a chink in the armor. theres plenty of them, its just when an attack happens does those chinks in the armor become apparent.
