Terrorists regrouping to strike, lawmakers told
Rumsfeld, CIA, FBI chiefs deliver similar messages

WASHINGTON - The heads of the Pentagon, CIA and FBI on Wednesday warned lawmakers that they fear terrorists groups, particularly al-Qaida, are still actively looking for ways to carry out a strike in the United States.
“The extremists continue to plot to attack again. They are at this moment recalibrating and reorganizing. And so are we,” Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld told the House Armed Services Committee.
and later on in the same article:
“It may be only a matter of time before al-Qaida or other groups attempt to use chemical, biological, radiological or nuclear weapons. We must focus on that,” Goss said in an unusually blunt statement before the mostly secretive Senate Intelligence Committee.
The article goes on to point a finger at Iran...
Now I'm a Bush backer, and a somewhat moderate conservative....but the alarm bells have begun to ring in my head as I read the "Iran" bit.. I mean really - It's pretty obvious that (whatever's left of) Al Quaida hates us and wants to hit us whenever and wherever possible. One kind of expects that sort of behaviour from terrorists...but Iran? Someone hit me with solid proof or I'll begin to think Bush wants to go back and fix 'em good for the hostage crisis of the late 70's? I'd be more prone to accept and believe in us hitting North Korea just because they're *******s, there's never been a treaty ending that action, and there's constant shooting back and forth on the 38th parallel. This is getting a bit old... Who's next after Iran? France for surrendering so quickly? Ooops.. too late, they already surrendered again.
Even a broken watch is correct twice a day.
