Beginning you did you see that Internet site that was out that says al-Qaeda in English al-Qaeda -- coming to New York Milan.
We've got it right now al-Qaeda coming soon again in New York.
Just something that's real or.
What do you may well.
It it sounds trite to say this KT that the purpose of terrorism is to terrorize -- that that's always been the purpose New York has always been.
The number one where al-Qaeda target there has never been a moment.
In the last twenty years when it was not.
The number one terrorism target and that's why they've hit a number of times and targeted -- -- a number of times as well.
I think what people want to take away from it.
Is that not only the federal authorities but Ray Kelly who was real pioneer.
Eradicate terrorism -- gap has done fascist and an unbelievable.
Job to protect this city given the fact that we know there are evil people out there who were plotting nine day to attack the city and -- have been able to ten years but.
You know every now and then they'll float something out there that says al-Qaeda is coming practice I think what people need to realizes.
There's never been a moment where if al-Qaeda was capable of hitting New York than they would've done it already it's not like you know they forgave us and -- moving on.
Right paintings right it has experiment number one target and then across I think and you know if they were here and in this again -- a tribute to how how good the domestic.
Authorities have done on the counter terrorism side.
If they were here and they were capable of hitting us they would hit us what you think it's the number one threat hand thing.
Well and I just in the terrorism but the whole range of Iran nuclear weapons terrorism.
While I worry I've always worried about Hezbollah.
Cells in the U us because I think unlike al-Qaeda and Hezbollah would not attack us and once they got the new grinds on.
No I think you know the that there rants forward militia guys so that would at a factory in Iran attack and the united let -- -- here yeah -- I mean you watch this is closely as I do and I I've been puzzled for years about.
The -- close that we treat.
Iran once you know they yeah that we continue to try to reach out to them death to America is there are national policy they kill nineteen of our air force -- Cold -- towers.
They fuel the insurgency in Iraq and Afghanistan the 9/11 commission suggests that there are involved in the 9/11 attacks and we do nothing.
And you don't on on the one hand you wonder what we just being fact plus and on the other hand you wanted to the people.
Who know things that we don't know why they concerned about any networks that may be here.
-- Check out -- Hezbollah sleeper cells that would be activated right I don't I don't need to be paranoid but you do have to wonder why it is that we.
We don't -- to -- close to -- it around finally.
That's the Tupperware or target right next time you come back I'm like okay -- -- -- -- -- McCarthy author of the grand Jihad and willful blindness.
