Really? Strategically it makes no sense. We will be the most vigilant (domestically at least) on that date. That was my point.
Wasn't thinking this until now. Should i let myself become paranoid enough top keep my kid home from school tomorrow?
you do that and 'they' win.. just saying
It's amazing how often fiction becomes fact. Prior to 9/11, the plot in one of Tom Clancy's novels involved using commercial airliners as flying bombs. I've read a few lately that involve attacks on elementary schools as we value our kids above anything else. I pray it doesn't happen but...
The planes aren't exactly missing. They're still in Libya under ISIS control.
I would think a coordinated attack amongst the defenseless would be more in their M.O. than another high scale attack like 9/11. It certainly would bring our country to it's knees mentally/spiritually/emotionally.
Ok, go after them. Oh wait. Who are we going after?
I believe another attack is coming. When, no one can be certain. I know tomorrow would be a "win" for them if they could pull off another attack.
I was at the Atlanta Financial center. (Building that sits on top of GA-400 in Buckhead) Scared was an understatement for everyone in the building.
I doubt a plane based outside the US would be able to pose a threat like that. Take a look at the jet that went down in Bermuda. We had F16's on it until it crossed cuban airspace. (Then crashed) Also I don't see any of these groups have the means to construct a EMP device sizable enough to do any major harm.
They do not have the means to strategically face us in a full out war, that's the reason for their tactics. However, if they amassed a large enough army, I do believe they'd rally to a war or at least a conflict.
THIS.
See previous comments, and no, they have not found it.
Planes missing outside the US. If the US has the ability to track missiles inbound from foreign countries at mach plus speeds, they *hopefully* can track a jet liner making it's way over the Atlantic or Pacific oceans and 600mph.
I won't deny it. ISIS would like to wipe Israel, most of Europe, and the US off the map or at least convert them. That's their end goal here. To them, this is a holy war. Not some war based on their country's politics. These people have been indoctrinated into this holy war their entire life. They also have a very limited exposure to the modern world when it comes to mankind's achievements. Most don't even have a clue man has set foot on the moon, sent robots to other planets, or crafts outside this solar system. When faced with their upbringing, their chance to advance in the world, and limited resources. It's easy to understand why to them, this is more than just a "war" as we would see it. This is a threat they perceive from every fiber in their body and soul.
The US has lost the fortitude to do whats right IMO. We've become so corrupt in government, politics, corporate ways that everything happens for a reason to better some group. Not better the people of the nation or world for that matter. We're stuck in a mire of our own political correctness. Powerless to confront those whom wish us harm without the fear of impacting foreign and conflicting domestic relationships. And sacrificing freedom in the name of security.
Me personally, I'll go on living my life without fear. Odds are in my favor that I will die from something mundane than a terrorist attack. But I still will make an effort to be prepared for hardships.
Screw ISIS.
