Where would you attack the U.S. next?
The obvious places would be states that have restrictive gun laws, N.Y. N.J., Mass., Ill., etc.
And I don't think the next attack will be with airliners either as they're "expected" to do, these individual attacks on planes could be a cover or diversion.
I think there's a good chance that California could be the next target. In particular San Francisco where handguns are "outlawed."
Ten terrorists with automatic weapons could take out a lot of people and police as well. And they'd face no threat from an un-armed citizenry either.
I think that this administration needs to start "thinking outside the box" on this.
Although I don't know if they are capable of it.
What say you?

Panda, say if I was in a shopping mall that was attacked and there were 7 or 8 other military veterans in there who were armed too.
Unless the savages were right in front of me and took me out immediately the hunt would be on! And the way us veterans think I'd want to get "more savages" than say an "Air Force" veteran! ...
And in that [wank fantasy] anyone who is armed would be the "first responders." And since I'm not a leo I don't have to yell out "let's see your hands" or any of that nonsense, it'd just be "aquire target, aim, fire, ejaculate"
One thing for sure, I wouldn't want to be a cop in that situation, in uniform they'd stick out like a sore thumb and be picked off one by one as they arrived onscene...
uuhhhh uhhhh aaHHHHHHHH!!!!

Were you actually jerking it while you wrote that, or did you just finish watching a Die Hard marathon playing on the tee vee?

I believe they will attack wall street...they want to disrupt our economic ability to fight them...they already have defeated our will.

Hmmm, Butch, do you think they'd be up for an attack on Lobbyists? The kind who have offices on "K" street in Washington?

Logic would dictate that they will try new targets. I was just tossing this out for a few ideas. Ah,.....do you have any?

.......the choice of target would reflect their goals. As the basic goal of any terrorist is to create conditions where the target regime changes itself, i'd be looking at a major cultural artefact to attack. The Super Bowl perhaps. The Army/Navy game. The final of the next season of American Idol..........that sort of thing. Anything that can get the American people so riled up and angry that they will forgo any number of rights in order to attain some measure of security.

oooo look what he's done! you've meshed in (presumably) views on gun controls with the logical assumption that terrorists will most likely attack the large cities you've mentioned, as opposed to chickenshit, iowa where there is no gun controls in a backhanded way to say, LETS NOT CONTROL GUNS!

if i was bin laden and wanted to scare the shit out of americans I'd plan lots of small attacks on small american towns to give the message that you aren't safe *anywhere*.
but personally I'd attack shrewsbury, in revenge for a particularly harrowing cup defeat a few years ago.

additionally i think the bit about guns is a little off the ball anyway, since firstly, more damage can be done with bombs anyway and even if they did stage an attack with rifles, the mere fact that it happened in the first place causes the terror, not the statistics on how many got killed, and its fairly clear that al queda terrorists dont go on missions expecting to come back.
