The Jihadist Perfect Storm? - Spies Warn Al Qaeda Preparing October Surprise

In a bid to effect the American elections, spies warn that Al Qaeda has attacks prepared to launch against the U.S. in October

"There is an expectation that Al Qaeda will try to influence the November elections by attempting attacks globally," a former Bush and Clinton White House counterterrorism official, Roger Cressey, said yesterday.

Mr. Cressey said Al Qaeda lacks the capability to pull off an attack in the continental United States, however. "It would likely be a higher Al Qaeda tempo of attacks against U.S. and allied targets abroad," he said.

At a talk at the Washington Institute for Near East Affairs on August 12, the national intelligence officer for transnational threats said he expected to see more threat reporting on Al Qaeda as America approaches the November elections.

My paranoid thought of the day -

Possible Scenario: Could we be already experiencing the first gusts of a jihadist perfect storm?

1 - Russia, Iran, Venezuela, Saudi Arabia and Pakistan have been using their petrodollars (and drug money) to get oil up around to around $150barrel. (If they have to start a border war - like by attacking Georgia, then so be it...

2 - Then, get the us banking system all fucked up by selling financial stocks short, and selling dollars cheap, etc.

3 - Then - after we're softened up... a massive WMD attack - even an EMP attack.

Three strikes and we're out. And they would have brought us down on our knees. And once WE'RE down, the Europe will cave, and then... it's them against Israel.

Just wondering...
