OP, Just my two cents but Im not sure it’s particularly wise to post this on an online forum. I remeber a 4chan user was ‘vanned’ by European police after posting a fake school shooting threat on the anonymous board. ---

It is known that the terrorists will only attack during commercial breaks. That’s why the security guards go out and stand on the basketball floor during the breaks. They go back to their seats when the ball is in play. What is the definition of “quasi major”? Was 9-11 “quasi major”, as opposed to “major”, like the firebombing of Dresden? ---

Since “the coming weeks” includes ALL coming weeks, I’d say the prediction is spot on! We have an SDMB Nostradamus. ---

> [@Count\_Blucher](#): > > **Thank Og we live in The Home of the Brave.** Which begs the question of whether we live in ‘The Home of the Brave’, when so many Americans on a certain side of the political spectrum express so much fear. To hear them, Islamic terrorists are planning to go door to door chopping infidels’ heads off. But to the topic. I think the Islamic-inspired attack on the U.S. will be to instill so much fear in Americans, that Americans elect a President who promises to go to war. The leaders of the Islamic terrorist organisations maintain their power, and profit from the ‘infidel attacks’. The President, and the corporations to whom he is beholden, reap _huge_ profits from defense contracts. (Just kidding. That would never happen.) . ---
