October Surprise?--possible attacks after election
This happened after Brown took power and there are new threats now. Ugh, reminds me of the Osama thing in 2004.
Officials from both campaigns have been asked to briefings after warnings from US intelligence that terrorists and rogue states will seek to exploit the power vacuum following November's presidential election.
For the first time in American history the FBI has begun vetting likely officials of the next administration before the election, to ensure they have security clearance to deal with crises on day one.
Intelligence chiefs expect an attempt to emulate the terrorist strikes on Britain when Gordon Brown took power and are concerned that Russia or Iran could use the 77 days of paralysis between the election and the inauguration on January 20 for acts of international brinkmanship, like the invasion of Georgia.

::Rubbing hands together Burns style:: Excellent. We have them right where we want them. Only their government can save them. Choose wisely.
Enough with the scare tactics. And what a false article title, you know, since BOTH candidates staffs were involved in the briefings. No, no liberal media here.
They already know how McCain would respond.
I know a lot of people across the US, especially Reps will look at this and think it's a reason to vote for McCain-forget the economy! We need someone who will be strong on national security and tough on terrorism!
Honestly, I'd be more concerned if McCain were president b/c he just seems too hotheaded and willing to go to war for anything. I don't want another war. I don't want more killings. I don't want more deployments. I don't want a hawk for our president again.
Citation, please. How do you know that anyone's decision to attack is dependent upon who's elected? I mean, it was pretty obvious that Bush was a hothead, and we were still attacked under him.
Besides, with what would McCain respond? We have no money, and we have no available troops.
