I don't know if you heard, but the United States has been threatened by someone named Baitullah Mehsud. "Soon we will launch an attack in Washington that will amaze everyone in the world."
I've never heard his name before myself, but historycommons.org has. Apparently Benazir Bhutto named him as one of her possible assassins. According to two reports from Oct. 2008, he died from kidney failure (hat tip to Reprehensor). This wouldn't be the first person to die, and come back from the grave.
I was sitting here, reading about the possible fantastic news concerning the environmental disaster that was 9/11, and it dawned on me. If we're getting threatened now, has Obama received the equivalent to the August 6th, PDB? How about the July 10th, 2001 warning, or the June 30th, 2001 warning, or how about you just go here and read about the different types of warnings received?
Has he? Does he have a piece of paper with this person's name on it? Is there something he could be doing to ensure that we are protected? Is there a specific target that he is aware of? If so, then NOW would be a good time to do something about it, and warn those who need to be in the know.
If this warning came from a legitimate source of course.
A word of advice for President Obama. If you're sitting in a classroom with a room full of children, and you are told that "America is under attack," do me a favor... tell the children politely that you have to go because there are matters you have to attend to, allow the secret service to get you to a safe location, and make sure you've got good communications equipment with you so you can deal with the situation.
Also, don't let Joe "take charge." It might not look good.
Most importantly, WHATEVER you do, don't lie about it, use the attack for more wars, more loss of civil liberties, more bankrupting of this country, more executive power, and so on. That also wouldn't look good.
