I should think that Canada would be safe. You've not gotten involved in the war and have been pretty much neutral. It would be like bombing Switzerland or somethin'.
Explosions in London...

You are right Cali, it would be like bombing Bali or somethin'. Oh just a minute they did.Cali Scott said:
No one mentioned Bush, just Texas.luckydog71 said:There was someone else on the board who beleives W masterminded 9/11. I had not heard anyone say he masterminded 7/7, but he was in the country, so you may be right
Do you know something that we don't?
That would be interesting. The U.S. has been Sabre rattling for awhile now but has shut up for the last couple of months. Allegedly, Putin has given them Sunburn (SS-N-25) missles (armed with?). I assume that Russians are there manning htem; at least I hope.eljudo said:let me guess.
Bin ladden is going to be the culprit and Iran will fall next.. ( but will they be naughty and fight back with the atom bomb )
It would be intereting indeed if Iran is found to be the culprit.
I don't think you can accuse Bush of saber rattling.....Clinton OK.. But Bush will do what he says...there will be no hollow threats coming from him.....Cali Scott said:
I am not as worried about Iran with missiles as I am about a dirty bomb in the US. I think the odds are high it will occur......and after 7/7 I think the odds are even higher.
How would the terrorists get a dirty bomb into the US? Oh, that is easy through the 8000 to 10,000 miles of porous borders we have with Mexico and Canada. Mr. Bush, please wake up and smell the coffee.
The world sure is safer now that the dimwitted cowboy decided to take on the futile, utterly un-winnable "war on terror" with both guns blazing.
Glad to see he's raised the meaningless threat level to hot pink, where it really should be. That oughtta be plenty of justification for filling every train and bus station with guys with moustaches and flat tops. Oh yeah, and enough firepower to bring down an elephant with a single round.
Saw some pics of passengers on Washington DC subway trains. They sure did look like they felt safe.

Hmmm, it looks like dittman knows quite a bit about this attack already.dittman said:

Read the following quotes from CNN.
Blair Says.
""When they try to intimidate us, we will not be intimidated," he said. "When they try to divide our people or weaken our resolve, we will not be divided and our resolve will hold firm.""
Looks to me , he borrowed a script from Dubya.
Blair Says.
"But Blair told Britons in his nationally televised address that terrorists "are trying to use the slaughter of innocent people to cower us." (Transcript)"
I say, didnt you and your buddy bush bombed the shit out innocent people all over iraq a few months ago.. and continue to do so today? How many people are dying over there? women, childrens, innocent, insurgents.. you kill them all, and no one cares.
its amazing how it works.. good timing.
Bush is over there. G8 Submit. Both blair and bush are under pressure to answers the lies that has been put forth prior to the war.. when the british are all but ready to throw the towel.. BANG. Osama attacks..
Now, according to blair, the british are going to have american resolve and duke it out!. so, troops, be ready for the long haul, you are not coming home anytime soon.
Dexi - I think you meant to say sarcastically "the world is safe now". Safer is a relative term and no one could know how safe or unsafe we would be had the US not attacked terrorists.dexi said:
Anyway the world is NOT safe now....nor do I think the world will be safe in my life time.
On 9/11/01 did any one think that 4 years later the US would still have avoided a major attack? I think not. So if you use that as a measure then the US is safer today. A majority of voting Americans thought that way and that is why W was re-elected. I think it is likely that the attack has at least delayed the inevitable. I think it may also have reduced the severity when the attack does come.
LD, my basic point is that Iraq should have been way down the list of priorities as far as dealing with potential threats go as it was proven that they weren't an imminent threat prior to the invasion. In your opinion, how will your country deal with the Koreans, Iran, Syria, Pakistan (who probably know where Bin Laden is) etc when you only have so many people to send and so much money to spend? I think this is turning into a much longer term issue than your leadership thought (mission accomplished?) and they did an extremely poor job of prioritizing given what it's already cost being in Iraq. Look at how the crew have been dealing with the media, and Bush's national address, they know full well that the general public is weary, leery, and losing faith in their judgement.
BUT, as a Canadian, it's not really any of my business unless it directly affects Canada by us getting hit or the economy plunges as a result. While I don't feel Canada's immune, I do think we're further down the list than other countries. They'll probably whack you guys again, hit Australia, Italy, and Denmark, and probably Britain again, before they take a shot at us. Just MHO.

You seem almost happy that he hasn't captured OBL as he said he would. Today is hardly the day to gloat, BushPilot.BushPilot said:
Btw, I watched a show on CBC yesterday (Fifth Estate?) about Ann Coulter and Bill O'Reilly and - yikes - Rachel Marsden....now I can see why folks as yourself dislike "conservatives", but I really hope you see OBL as the real bad guy at the end of the day.
So, how would you classify those countries that are actively involved in Afghanistan, a legitimate front in the 'War on Terror,' but refused to participate in the oil/money-grab that is the war in Iraq? Because a Canada did not support your war on fictional grounds, that does not mean we wish to tacitly appease the masterminds. Last I saw the 'masterminds' are located predominantly in three places, Afghanistan, Saudi Arabia, and Egypt. We don't want to mention the Saudis or Egyptians because they're your friends, right? Keep looking, and you just might find them in Iraq, though.luckydog71 said:
It seems this thread has brought out the majority of psycho's who are always ready to fight every body and kill every body from behind their keyboards but will pi*s their pants if they see anybody out of the ordinary in the street.
Canada faces a much less danger of terrorism but not because our boarders are open or we have terrorist here; the reason is that we are much more educated than Americans and have a better form of government that will not take us to war, so few people can get rich. We as a nation respect other countries and cultures and we get the same respect back in majority of countries on earth.
There is a new mentality in USA that think of war as a video game and likes to shoot and kill Arabs but always get surprised that the other side shoot backs.
For those few stupid Canadians who like to kiss Americans a*s, my advice is just to grow up, this is not a video game. Count your blessing that you live in a country that your government will not scarifies you for few dollars.

terrorists have more to lose than gain by any attack on Canada so it will never happen.
the US won't change any of its policies because its economy is about as fragile as it can get ... most of its debt is owned by China, Japan and the Saudi's so if the US decides to 'get tough' these countries can dump billions of dollars in US debt and the US economy is toast.
the fact that Bush is willing to sacrifice his own people and economy to protect oil interests will keep this 'conflict' going for a long time ... if he had some brains or balls he would invest the money he uses to protect oil interests in getting the US economy OFF oil and onto alternate energy and then he could implement protectionist policies ...
as long as the US needs oil they can't do shit but trade!

You're not talking about the right war on that one. That's the War on Homos.dexi said:
You're with us, or you're with the homosexuals. Any nation that "aids" or abets homosexuals is a homosexual nation. That means you, Canada. They have a Virus of the Male Prostration. See these satellite photos of buildings which we think are bath houses? In 45 minutes they could infect all of us. The only evidence you'll have is a smoking gay guy in a lounge jacket.
