What happens, after the next terrorist attack?

looking back at the post sept11 period, after the US bombed afghnistan to the stone age...

whom would they bomb if alqaeda strikes again?


could they possibly spin it in a way to blame syria or iran?

with everything in britan at the moment in regard to the ricin ploit..
seems very basic what needs to take place in order for a bio.chem attack to occur.

whiping ingredients on door handles and car handles?

...

who would we punish?

I'll tell you what will happen - the EU will have a tough decision to make. They have a military alliance now, and it will be their first test.

Basically, the next attack will be in Europe, NOT the US. If it is one of our allies that is attacked (UK, Poland, Italy, etc) we will help them however we can. If it is France or Germany, we will only help them if it's good for us (hopefully) just as they have done.

If any attack happened in the western world, it would be orchestrated by the powers that be.IE, our secret services.
If they feel they need an excuse to attack/invade any country, then what better excuse do they need to do it?

The scenario would probably be ' hand over the terrorist's or face the repercussions etc etc'.

Terrorism has been around for years. The only reason we seem to hear more of it, is because of 9/11 which lead to the excuse to bomb the hell out of Afghanistan, which then went on to the invasion of Iraq and the so called War against terrorism.

If you think back to the 60's,70's and 80's when the IRA were prominent, did you here or see any major attacks against them? The reason being, is that they had nothing that we needed, so it was allowed, to some extent and we just basically put with it.

If the IRA got together again and decided that they were going to bomb some where in the US, do you really think the US would bomb Ireland? That's never going to happen. If Iran did the same, then we would be straight in there bombing the hell out of it.

There is too many double standards floating around our relevant Governments that makes the whole issue of 'the War against terrorism' ludicrous. Its the War for oil domination and nothing more.

First of all EU doesn't have the strenght nor the courage to attack anyone. They will just hide behind NATO and ask for help, they will continue their current anti counter terrorism policy, and anti-global war against terrorism policy... Western European countries always surrendered before the war even started, except for Great Britain.

Western European countries always surrendered before the war even started, except for Great Britain.

That's true! Denmark gave up to Hitler without so much as throwing a stone. France fought for 2 weeks but gave up when there beloved city was threatened. The Netherlands capitulated on May 15 and Belgium surrendered very quickly on May 28, 1940.

Norway and Luxembourg can't be counted among the cowards as they were barely countries in size or infrastructure.

Poland fought bravely losing over 600,000 men and never surrendering. But Isn't Poland considered a part of East Europe? Yes of course Poland is East because they actually fought!

Don't forget Neville Chamberlains antics prior to the war. Neville's weak anti-war dealings with Hitler were not appreciated

The handwriting was on the wall. Chamberlain's own party rebelled against him, forcing his resignation after British forces suffered defeat in Norway. Churchill was named prime minister in May of 1940. Chamberlain joined his cabinet briefly, resigned in October and died on 9 November 1940.

The whole point about the recent so-called 'ricin plot' in the UK was that there was absolutely zero evidence of any actual ricin involved in it at all, actually.
How can there be 'a ricin attack' without any ricin?

But despite exhaustive tests carried out at the Ministry of Defence's chemical weapons laboratory at Porton Down Mr Sweeney had to admit there was no trace of ricin itself.

news.bbc.co.uk...

The rest of the anti-European raving here isn't worth addressing except to say - once again and for the umteenth time - that the EU is not the 'almost like the USA' structure some of you Americans here seem to think it is.

(What's up if you can't insist on seeing it as something that might be a bit like the USA you just can't grasp the idea of it, huh? ).

The EU is a free collective of sovereign nation states.
It does not (yet) have either it's own foreign policy nor it's own defence policy.

If there were another major terrorist attack in or outside of Europe it would still be responded to by the individual nation states as before.

Wake up, educate yourself about how Europe is and how it all works if you're going to attempt to speculate on the matter and try to wise up, eh?
This repeated ignorance is getting pretty old.

BikerEddie -

Please provide solid evidence, and not just speculation, I mean 100% factual evidence that the secret service (whom would have NOTHING to do with that at all - they are guards) plotted the 9/11 attacks.

Thank you..

Next on the list, if Germany and/or France was attacked, the U.S. would help. Why? Because failure to do so would contradict Bush's promise - to fight terror under all circumstances.

So, it would matter not whether we agreed with them or not, it would be (for the 3rd time in the past 100 years) that the U.S. had to save France's behind.

Um, you might want to check that history book again, look under the chapter Finland vs. Russia. before making claims like this.

Yes, before the U.S. bombed the $hit out of it, Afghanistan was full of sophisticated cities and was a thriving, technologically advanced country.

We've been advised of so many imminent terrorist "plots" that never materialized since 9/11, I simply cannot take them seriously anymore, maybe that will be a mistake on my part, but I've grown extremely weary of all this crap. Remember the color coded system? I haven't heard anything about it for a long time, I guess the elections are over so no need to spook the heard anymore.

Speaking as a citzen of the UK I can say thats a load of cow manure.
Once you have respect for the person you dont like come back and discuss things.

Everything horrible about New World Order will come online... and.. and we all gonna dieeee!!!!

j/k
stay cool

uh, there certainly isnt any clear evidence as to who orchestrated the september 11 attacks. i think they named 18 people and 9 are still alive or something like that.

the ira is a terrorist organization by definition, at this time i would like to remind you so is the USA.

what needs to happen is for humans to stop killing humans. untill that happens we all lose. there is no who started it. kane killed able, putting the homicide rate for human beings @ 25% from the door. you can put any name on murder you want but if you end a humans life you have murdered. you can murder for allah, god, your country, your loved one, money, fun, or whatever, youre still a murderer. the only time its not wrong is in blatant self defense, and thats not too often at all.

Welcome to the real world.

No rockhard evidence is needed, every smart, well educated (broad general knowledge) human being with a open mind comes to that conclusion after doing some research on the net.

I cant say i know 100% that U.S. shadow orgs were behind it but it is a on a certain bordering probabilty that they were behind it.
Most Americans just dont want to see the truth, they rather live in a comfortable numb state of mind than to see the cold hard truth.

You are either stupid or in denial, just like the women who find things in the pockets of their husbands that point to adultary.
Maybe its a phone number with a womans name or lipstick on the colar of his shirt......
A woman who faces up to reality knows the time by than, even if she is NOT A 100% sure and will get to the bottom of it, while another will put her head in the sand because she is too afraid to think of the consequences or thinks her husband would never cheat on her because they have such a good relationship.

Its all perspective, most people see things how they want to see things for one reason or another.

A little introspect will tell you where you stand.

Well let's see what would happen if the next terrorist attack happened in the US. I'm pretty sure that whichever terrorist group succeeds in the next attack will want to "one-up" the previous one on 9/11. So if you believe the next attack is imminent then the options available include chemical, biological, and nuclear methods of attack. A precise attack pulled off without warning from any of these 3 methods would create for lack of a better word a sh!!tstorm of hectic events and decisions in the US especially if the devastation is in the tens if not hundreds of thousands of lives and countless billions lost in the economy.

Domestically: I'm pretty sure Patriot Acts III, IV, V, etc are in place to restrict our freedoms even more than usual. The reality might be an internment of American muslims and Arabs ala the Japanese during WWII. Another road might be Martial Law. All Borders closed indefinetly. All travel in and out of the country is prohibited. Sounds like the land of the free eh?

Internationally: At this point a nuclear response or an attack worthy of such magnitude would surely be Plan A for the US military. Unilaterally or with the support of our fading allies (EU) the US will pretty divide the sand and force the world into WWIII. At this point it would be useful to dust off the Bible and look under "Revelations" for the details of an allout war such as this and how many people you can expect to perish.

I never said that the secret services plotted the 9/11 attack.

No no no , your not getting my quetsions.

When 911 happened, bush blamed Osama, and immediately went and carpet bombed afghani camps..

if alqaeda were to succeed in an attack,

what would be bush first primary target?

knowing that afghan has been exterminated from alqaeda, and the only remaining ones are left inside the US.

He cant just go an bomb the middleast and say hey u just happened to be in my line of fire.


Thast why it wont start wwIII, becausetheres a gap between Alqaeda and the middle east.

and no matter how big the next attack is, the USA has no right to go and bomb ANY other country.

GD,

First off, I think your assumption that the US will be the next to be attacked is very wrong. Europe is far more vulnerable, and in fact HAS been attacked in a MAJOR way since 9/11 (or does everyone so quickly forget those that died in Spain?).

Secondly, the US will react depending on who we determine is to blame.

If it is the IRA, well Ireland isn't exactly backing their effort to attack the US, thus we would do a co-op type of take down there. If it is an Islamic fundamentalist, then we will need to see which country he was working out of. If it is Iran, you can be damned sure we would take them down. If it is Iraq, then we hunt down the cells there. If it is Saudi Arabia, we would deal with it without invasion.

Hee hee, i'm totally against this war but to say we bombed afghanistan into the stone age Is silly.

Unless you count the caves we destroyed.
But it was for a good cause. We went after Bin Laden (huh) and he escaped from us (that slithering snake)....

Anyhoo, i foresee a police state if anything goes wrong. Dont lose any sleep over this one. The comming flu pandemic will take care of the yearned police state in this country, and lots will be sent to CampX to "recover"

Mate your not READING my question..

IF ALQAEDA.. not the IRA, or some fundamentalist group, but ALQAEDA attacked the USA again, where exactly would we strike at them?

WE Cant strike iran or syria, because we simply cant say, boom this operation came out of them.

alqaeda being nothing more than cells around the place, where would we chose to retaliate??

even more so, where would Europe or Britian retaliate against?

say the ricin plot came off, and they killed thousands...
what would britan of done?

if we cant locate binladen or zarqawi, how can we strike them?
