Can Terrorist Strikes Be Predicted?

The muslim that just shot our soldiers in Fort Hood had been watched for the last six months according to the ASSOCIATED PRESS, for Terrorist e-mails....so guess someone should have been a little more FROSTY

These people don't really know their ass from a hot rock. You may as well ask a weather forecaster what is going to happen. They don't know either.

Not if you make the CIA afraid to do there jobs!

My previous comment refers to those who claim they can predict a terrorist attack, not to the Federation of American Scientists who claim they can't.

It is virtually impossible to predict the what, when and where of attacks. They have to concentrate on the WHO. Of course, the Democrats would rather be politically correct and impractically apply civil rights than be proactive with our national defense. Historically, they prefer to wait till Americans are killed then react. They view the glass as half full when it is almost empty.

That's right, let our enemies know when US armed forces is not paying attention to them. See how many are abused or escape.

One thing for certain. When the US gets attacked again (and it will happen) you can be sure that Iran has a nuke ready to go.

'Can terrorist attacks be predicted (I'm assuming through conventional means.) Clinton was able to gain knowledge of Terrorist sagotage TWICE and prevented them from happening. He was also something of a war mongerer: He got us involved in Kosovo, Bosnia, Yugoslavia. He did miss the first bombing of the WTC, or rather he intercepted messages, tried to pass them along to the US govt in general and Condoleeza Rice in particular.

But tey have no delivery system. Even if they decided to use Nuke's against us or our allies, the retaliation from the uS would turn Iran into a field of glass

Boy someone sure doesn't like my posts. Whats the matter, get your feelings hurt and decided to retaliate?

These brilliant scientists have discovered that accurate future predictions can be very difficult or impossible to make. They should apply for "Global Warming" grants from the government. Their predictions would suddenly become very accurate and even unquestioned.

Its hard to believe , our tax dollars are spent on a gaggle of eggheads , to ponder the impossibility of predicting the possible, in a predictable time frame , sounds like a waste of office space to me !

Yes when there are plenty of sleeper cells already in US so called federal agents but they cannot do anything because of religion reasons. I hope they do something, but they wont. If anything they will let it happen in small amounts of course. Why. for the excuse of restricting our freedoms even more. Problem reaction solution. The government is monitoring the wrong people meaning US citizens. The sleeper cells can take any form. They do not have to be in a group. It could be one person set up for a long time (mole)in one form or the other, that could cause a certain reaction to happen. This is that outside the box thinking that apparently nobody has in our government. Why. Dont want to offend anyone. The sad case at fort hood tx might be that case. the shooter had posted material on the internet that was questionable to federal agents but nothing was done. I am in no way implying this is linked to a terrorist plot. No they wont watch that, they would much rather monitor what people right on comment boards, then putting 2 & 2 together & going after the bad guy. Just because someone in the position of high rank no matter WHO THEY ARE cant be ignored. This of course is all in my opinion, but they maybe become illegal to. I keep everything copied, not being paranoid,being carefull. Just in case. use it before you lose it.

Terrorism’s blood spills on all
Sinister winds, Americans fall
Divided kingdom dissipates
Remotes in hand, find ditch with haste
Complacently suicidal in a PC pile of waste

Predicted no, prevented yes. The whole political correctness is allowing us be a vulnerable target, so to prevent any possible attacks we need to go after the red flags and don’t worry about hurting someone’s feelings. It’s the best and easiest way to prevent any possible future attacks.

Maybe it can be predictable to know the fact that the terrorists are likely to strike the big cities. The more causalities, the better for the enemy. I live 20 minutes away from a big city. Not sure if it is far enough for my safety. I'm afraid that the terrorists can out wait us. They are still waiting for our guard to drop.

I once completed a projcet for the governemt that the Jesus Christ in that field of expertises, in the U S, said that it could not be done.This was the conclusion he came up with after spending $30,000.00 grant money to see if was feasable. That is what he told me over a secured phone when he call me to congradulate me on what my team of non college graduates have done. I had less the one year experience with the company and no experience in that field when l took it upon myself, with higher up not exectly eager for me to do it.
Our Government for what ever reason has this thing about that our experts must have Phd degrees. Let me remind you that Henry Ford and Thomas Edision together had a totol of 3 1/2 years of formal education. In fact Ford was called names like stupid, ignotant etc, in the news paper. Ford took the author of the artilce to court. In court Ford was asked questions like, who is the father of our country, and questions simular to that question. He did not know the answers. Finlly after being made a fool of he said, On my desk is a series of buttons. If l want to know something that l do not know, l pull one of the a button and in walks a expert to answer my question. Ford won his case.

Will the manchild we have as a president do something? oh im sorry he's to busy attacking our constitution and the patriot's that support it

sure they can be predicted or expected ....when you leave people high & dry or swinging the wind....abuse-belittle-harass-dictate or bully them ...it dont matter where they come from ...sooner or later when they get the chance ....they'll get you !
