The top three intelligence officials in the US held a meeting with the Senate yesterday informing them they had information of an almost guaranteed terrorist attack within the next 6 months. Dennis Blair of the National Intelligense and Panetta of the CIA stated that there was overwhelming signs and cyberintelligence that the something bad is coming. They said that they don't expect another 9/11 because Al Qaeda seems to be focusing on smaller attacks that are less easy to detect. However, during the hearing, the witness testimonies were apparently disrupted several times by the break out of bickering of the Senators. It appears that for some time, the Senators fought over which court the December 25th bomber should have been tried in.
Our own Senators are going to kill us. Can no one seem to just focus on the problem at hand, and put their own personal opinions and grudges aside? I am shocked that the country even runs at all - that just shows me how little our Senators actually do. So here's the situation: an almost guarenteed terrorist attack on US soil within the next 6 months. Now, what are we going to do about it? We need to act. Now. If we don't want to physically attack anyone right now, we should at least be hyper-monitering the incoming intelligence and crossreferncing the data to make sure we don't miss anything anymore. We can't afford another devastating attack. I also have to reiterate that the extreme stubborness of the people in office these days is going to kill the entire structure of US government. There should never be a situation in the Congress when the top US intelligence official is trying to warn people of an attack and old white men in suits start fighting with each other during his speech like preschoolers in a schoolyard.
