Former CIA Director: Terrorist Strike Within U.S. Real Threat

This is an eye opening interview with James Woolsey on the likelihood of a terrorist attack(s) on the US in the near future. Folks, it's coming and all the denial and hoping it won't will only have the effect of making the aftermath even worse due to not being prepared. Do your homework, make plans and be ready. Once the Shiite hits the fan it’ll be too late to top off your gas tank or get that extra loaf of bread and gallon of milk. Let this article be your guide. Wake up and be ready.

I’ve said this before and I’ll say it again, the next attack will be a multi faceted thing by Jihadi of many ilk’s. Once a major attack begins, others not even aware of it will then join in in a chain reaction. Every homegrown Jihadi, every sleeper cell biding it’s time will move to make it‘s mark in the great Jihad against the great Satin (us folks, us).

Things are coming to a head. Al Qaeda can’t keep waiting to move. It’s being nibbled away around the world and will have to attack soon to regain its momentum. There are more and more small events taking place at an accelerating rate.

So take heed, take precautions and plan for a long haul against a fanatical enemy who is already well entrenched here.
Former CIA Director: Terrorist Strike Within U.S. Real Threat

FROM NEWSMAX:
Former CIA Director R. James Woolsey tells NewsMax in an exclusive interview that terrorists could strike the American homeland — possibly with a weapon of mass destruction — this summer or early fall.
He also warns that if Iran fails to comply with international efforts to stop its nuclear weapons program, the U.S. will have no other option than to bomb it.
"I think the threat of a serious attack in the next few months is very real," Woolsey said. A terrorist strike with a dirty bomb or with biological weapons was "a real possibility."
Woolsey's comments echo those of FBI Director Robert Mueller, who told NewsMax in May that al-Qaida's paramount goal is clear: to detonate a nuclear device that would kill hundreds of thousands of Americans.

Terrorists Plotting Now
While Woolsey doubted terrorists would be able to acquire a nuclear explosive device, he warned that terrorists were trying to acquire one, either on the black market from the former Soviet Union, or from Iran or North Korea.
The former CIA director said he favored "really tough sanctions" on Iran for another few months, but if that failed to bring Iran's nuclear weapons program to a halt, the United States had no other choice but to bomb Iran's nuclear sites.
He also blasted those in the State Department who believe we can convince the Iranians through negotiations to stop their nuclear programs. "I've never thought there's a chance in hell of that," he said.
Asked what three things we need to do to make America more safe, Woolsey said that the first and most important was not to tie the president's hands when it came to intelligence collection.
Efforts by Democrats to require court orders to intercept international communications amounted to "shooting ourselves in the foot," he added.
More Pressure on Iran
Next, he said the United States absolutely must step up pressure on Iran, by focusing on Iran's weak economic underbelly and the wellspring of popular discontent with the regime.
In the longer term, Woolsey said it was essentially that the U.S. beef up its military forces and to prepare Americans psychologically and politically for a long war with radical Islamic terrorists.
"I think this is a long war, and we need to treat it as such, and go on a full war-footing," he said.
Woolsey had plenty more to say on the topic of Iran, wrapping up the interview with a list of things needed to keep the United States safe.
