Al Qaeda Warns, Imminent Attack on United States

Independent Conservative posted comments on a warning from Al Qaeda. The comments are based on an interview on Canadafreepress.com in which an Al Qaeda commander warns Muslims to leave the United States. This warning mentions specific details including a time frame. Is the threat credible? I do not know, but it should be noted and should lead to a change in how we perceive the internal threat. No more worrying about Muhammad. "David, Richard, or Peter," are the types of names these attackers plan to use.

I believe the issue of border security should be a top priority and, if necessary, should be dealt with separate from the issue of what to do with the undocumented workers already living in the United States. Unfortunately it seems too late to close the barn door. The cows have already escaped and are planning large scale mischief. If the claims in this interview are true, the leaders of this country have jeopardized our safety and perhaps our future, all while pushing for cheap labor and for amnesty for criminals.

We have been warned. Now it is time for the Bush Administration and for leaders from both sides of the aisle to stand up and answer the call to protect our country.

In a related article, Duke University historian Alex Roland is quoted in an article in Duke News. Roland says we need to "...declare war on Al Qaeda, not terror." Roland argues the current war looks more like Vietnam as opposed to World War II. He points out how "World War II was not a war against fascism..." It was a war against specific countries with fascism still existing even after the war's end. Just the same terrorism will most likely last until the end of the world. But Al Qaeda could be defeated if that is the goal.
