Attack On American Cities Likely

From Gary Bauer's End of Day report:

Counterterrorism expert Juval Aviv believes that an Al Qaeda attack on
several American cities is likely within the next ninety days. Aviv
states, "I predict, based primarily on information that is floating in
Europe and the Middle East, that an event is imminent and around the corner
here in the United States. It could happen as soon as tomorrow, or it
could happen in the next few months. Ninety days at the most."

Aviv’s warning should not go unnoticed. He has a respectable background
that includes service as an Israeli Counterterrorism Intelligence Officer
and as a special consultant to the United States Congress on terrorism and
security.

Another indication that an attack on the United States may be in the works
is the release of a new Al-Qaeda video titled, "Wait for the Big Surprise."
The video shows a digitally altered image of President Bush and Pakistani
President Musharraf engulfed by flames with the White House burning in the
background.

Despite the fact there has not been a major terrorist attack on American
soil since 9/11, Aviv’s remarks and this new Al Qaeda video remind us that
the enemy has not retreated and still desires to inflict great harm on the
United States. Other American intelligence agencies have recently
suggested that Al Qaeda operatives are in the United States and are waiting
for the right time to strike again.

The radical Left is convinced that if we get out of Iraq the threat of a
terror attack on the United States would be greatly reduced. They are
wrong. Our retreat would be seen throughout the world as a sign of
American weakness; it would be perceived in the Middle East as a victory
for Al Qaeda. And it would invite more aggression, not less.

The Left does not understand that our enemy is relentless and will stop at
nothing until our way of life is destroyed. Reports like Mr. Aviv’s are
sobering reminders of the war we are in with a persistent and patient
enemy.
