"Summertime seems to be appealing to them," Chertoff said in his discussion with the newspaper about terrorists. "We worry that they are rebuilding their activities."
So, there ya have it. A "gut feeling" from the guy protecting us based on the idea that "they" find summertime appealing.
You wanna know what I think? Of course, you do!
What I think: If there is an attack it's going to be because of us attacking Iran, first. Check out the following cutting which comes to us from [http://uk.news.yahoo.com/rtrs/20070710/tpl-uk-usnavy-carrier-9562ed3.html|a July 10, 2007] article from Reuters.com available at UK.News.Yahoo.com:
A U.S. aircraft carrier is heading to the U.S. Navy's Fifth Fleet area of operations, which includes the Gulf, but the Pentagon said on Tuesday there had been no decision to increase naval power in the region.
U.S. defence officials said the deployment of the USS Enterprise was a routine measure to replace one of two U.S. Navy carriers now in the Fifth Fleet area.
Ah, nothing like replenishing your "defenses" in a supremely war-torn area of the world. With tensions high it won't take much to piss off the "evildoers" enough for them to actually act on their fairly justified hatred of the US.
If an attack on Iran, with the help of that new carrier, doesn't happen, then the doers of evil can simply use the continuing presence of the US Mil in Iraq. After all, just [http://www.iht.com/bin/print.php?id=6603611|yesterday] IHT.com reported:
Fearful of a Republican rebellion over Iraq that his own aides believe could force him to change course, President George W. Bush said Tuesday that the United States would be able to pull back troops "in a while," but called on Congress to wait until September to debate the future military presence there.
Well, with behavior like that, I really don't think I'd be surprised if Osama bin Laden sent George W. Bush a giant bouquet of thank you roses with a note reading: "Be seeing you... in a while."
