Get Ready For a Terrorist Attack!

"Al-Qaeda ‘certain' to attack U.S. within months"

These comments are from the National Inteligence Director, William Blair and his comments were echoed by the Directors of the FBI and CIA. The heads of intelligence from the Dept. of Defense and State Dept. also were in attendance.

I'm not sure how to take this information. By stating it this so forcefully the Obama administration puts themselves in a pretty big vise. If an event is stopped before it canbe successful, it may look like they are on top of things. And if the terrorist plot succeeds, well we know what will happen then.

So, How does one prepare for an event like this. It is something a little different than taking an umbrella with you on a day where rain is forecast, just in case....

And I guess it comes down to each of us do we believe them? Will we change our way of living, or do most of us think that terrorism can't come to small town USA?

In the end, we probably have more to fear from the governments response than we do from the actual event. But maybe we should all do some investigative journalism to see if we can uncover the real reasons behind the comment and now the upcoming responses.

Will Defense stocks go up? Will we now hear calls to move troops to other countries? Or to bring them home? Is this just a head fake, to take our eye off the ball, to make us believe that the left is serious about homeland security. Maybe it just means that there will be more delays in airports.

Regardless, I will take the measures with a grain of truth and prepare accordingly.
