Good plan very much like the Bombay attack last year. Problem is, that BO is a gutless weenie who will cry instead of retaliating.

Dear Fat Man: Nope. Let nothing get between The One and his image in the mirror. Anything that does gets thrown overboard quick. Note how the renditions and eavesdropping continue and are even expanded from Geo. W's days. Should something like this bridge/subway attack happen, look for a reign of terror. What seems likely though is that this will be an excuse for some heavy hitting at the Right. Look for this blog's proprietor to take some heat from the Justice Department. He'll be in good company, but that's dam cold comfort.

The One's gutlessness only extends to others. Is the country heading for a trade war with China? So what, no skin off my rump, pay off the unions etcetcetc. But a subway attack is clearly his fault, so there the action will be swift, ruthless, and a great cover for action against the real enemy: anyone who disagrees with The One.

Sincerely yours,

In the best spirit of Trutherism, heh, it would be more than Obama's fault, it would be his own planned crisis. Next domino to fall. It would hand to him the need for the National Civilian Security Force and a reason to ramp up military contracts,thus stimulating the economy.

Boy, that was almost too easy. Must be true!

:o)

We already have a "National Civilian Security Force" and it's in the Constitution (Article 1 Section 8) and in federal law (10 USC 311). It's called the "militia." States are supposed to run it most of the time, train and officer the corps, then turn the units over to the Feds when the Congress and the President call for them. The Militia Act of 1792 formalized the concept, and defined membership in said militia pretty much the same as now, all able-bodied males ages 17-45. At the time you had to be white. Not now. Under 10 USC 311 (last revised in 1956) males (and a few females) aged 17-45 are ALREADY members of the "National Civilian Security Force." Didn't know that did ya? Can't let a crisis go to waste, can you?

"Problem is, that BO is a gutless weenie who will cry instead of retaliating." On the contrary, the president would retaliate swiftly and aggressively. America would be his target, though. Come to think of it, that would be business as usual for this administration. I suspect there are some folks secreted in basement rooms in the White House game-planning how to not let a terrorist-attack crisis go to waste.

The leftist mindset is that if you are not prepared to defend yourself, you will not be attacked. Obama is signaling our surrender in every way possible so it may be understood that it is NOT in the interest of our enemies to attack at this time. If OBL is in fact reading jimmy carter's new book, there is really a fair chance the message will get through.
But if it doesn't, Obama will not respond coherently or effectively to a disaster, and that will get him removed from office, one way or another. This entire Congress could be removed under those circumstances. Never let a good crisis go to waste.

An effective nuclear terrorist attack would provide Obama the necessary pretext to declare Martial Law...nationally.

Should Wash.DC be hit while Congress is in session but the President and his staff out of town...then you have a potential scenario for an attempted takeover by Obama.

Under Obama, nuclear proliferation is now certain with the announcement by Chavez that Venezuela will now pursue nuclear development with the 'assistance' of Putin's Russia.

The Russians are pushing Iran's acquisition of nukes and they are blocking in the UN Security Council any effective sanctions against rogue nations.

It's a geopolitical stratagem designed to ensure that the US will be attacked at some future point by nuclear terrorist attack(s).

What American soldiers, what town and county police forces will align itself against friends and family?
This is not the Soviet Union or Cuba. Barry is delusional like any good Marxist. And Marxism has failed everywhere.

Where does one get a few liters of anthax?

The National Guard would be primarily responsible for order during Martial Law imposed nationwide after a terrorist nuclear attack. It would be a relatively simple matter to ensure that Guard divisions were assigned 'out of area' so that they weren't facing friends & family.

Additionally, it could be done gradually with the suspension of habeus corpus, news censorship, etc. during a time of national emergency. "National Security' can be used to justify much.

Marxism has failed everywhere. Certainly it would fail here as well. Which in no way deters those who believe that it won't fail if only it is imposed 'properly'.

"Where does one get a few liters of anthax?"deb

Smuggle it in over our porous borders?

None of this is to say that this will happen. Just that it is not as impossible as might seem so at first glance.

Geoffrey, "family and friends" shouldn't be taken literally. Think in terms of "These people are just like me. They could be my mother, my father, my sister, my brother, my neighbors, my friends." Clearer? I have a very hard time believing those sworn to uphold the Constitution would fire on those demanding the government hold to the Constitution.

If they would, we don't have a country to begin with and the hell with us.

"Where does one get a few liters of anthrax?"

Well, given the right lab situation you can make it. That's where it comes from in the first place.

Or, if it is available pre-made on the black market, you buy it.

How do you get it into the country if it is outside the country?

Lots of way. You could, for example, just walk it across the Rio Grande or drive it through a gateway at El Paso.

Not impossible. Not even all that difficult given the money, the hate, and most importantly, the will.

"I have a very hard time believing those sworn to uphold the Constitution would fire on those demanding the government hold to the Constitution."

Yes, it is hard to believe that US troops would fire upon US citizens. Remember though that it did happen at Kent State. "The guardsmen fired 67 rounds over a period of 13 seconds, killing four students and wounding nine others, one of whom suffered permanent paralysis." Not exactly an analogous situation but it does demonstrate that under the right conditions, US troops may well fire upon their fellow Americans.

As for constitutional matters, in the event of a successful terrorist nuclear attack upon one or even more major US cities...it would be entirely within a US President's constitutional authority to declare nationwide martial law. And as long as the threat existed, he could maintain it.

Lincoln during the civil war suspended habeus corpus (the unlawful detention of him or herself, or of another person.)so there is precedent and with one or more US cities lying in smoking ruins, no one will initially oppose any and all measures the President deems necessary. Especially if Congress, the Supreme Court, the Pentagon and the headquarters and personnel of every major Federal agency is gone, the chaos will be inconceivable and Martial law will be unavoidable.

'National Security' would be invoked and that would allow the President to do almost anything.

The economic chaos, the migrational patterns away from the cities, the riots and psychological trauma would be horrendous.

In such a situation, security sufficiently threatened, trumps freedoms every time. People will give up almost anything to survive.

People will not have to give up many things to survive, Geoffrey Britian, they will have to regain many things.

"People will not have to give up many things to survive, Geoffrey Britian, they will have to regain many things."

Indeed. To survive with honor, one must, if necessary, be willing to die.

"Any society that would give up a little liberty to gain a little security will deserve neither and lose both." Benjamin Franklin

"America will never be destroyed from the outside. If we falter, and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves.” Abraham Lincoln

This is not only plausible, it's probable. Brooklyn Heights, with it's Mosques, huge Middle Eastern population and close proximity to Manhattan, is the perfect base for this kind of attack. Trains, ferries, bridges and heliports are all there or nearby. It's also a very liberal area with a lot of people who probably think it would be intolerant to drop a dime if they saw something. I have either gone to school or worked in the area since 1972 and am surprised it hasn't happened yet.

I doubt they would want to use Uzis.... Those are Jewish weapons. But you never know.

I see something similar for the SF Bay area.
