Who's Next?
After the horrendous attacks on the Madrid subway this week, and the effort to figure out who is responsible, the next question that should be asked, is who's next? debka who has a good track record in predicting when terror will strike, is reporting that Italy may be next, due to the location of Vatican City and Al Qaeda's mass effort to recruit European Muslims (white muslims) to inflict terror.
However, in the letter claiming responsibility, Al Qaeda says an attack against the United States, using "winds of black death" is 90% ready to go. No doubt there's some bravado in those words, and this boast is from the same guy who claimed Al Qaeda was responsible for the Northeast blackouts and many of the recent forest fires. However, what if it's true and "winds of black death" (Perhaps anthrax or some other chemical/biological attack?) are on the way? We've already had anthrax attacks in this country that our Justice Department couldn't solve, (Ashcroft seemed more worried about the topless statue in the Justice building) and our President would rather throw money into a missle defense system that seems unlikely to ever work, then invest into ways to deal with a biological/chemical attack.
Since the war in Iraq is basically finished, and there's another Operation in Afghanistan under way (didn't we declare victory there long ago?) that is bound to make us safer, there should be no need for the Government to raise the threat level again. Let's just hope the threat of "winds of black death" is nothing but hot air.
