Isn't 9-11 now some sort of Islamic holiday?
Well we should be getting a video here within a Couple of Days from Al Zawahiri and AQ. Last year they released 3 days before 911 calling on all to avenge al Libi. Which then we saw what took place. We got hit in Benghazi and they used social media to Riot and protest all our Embassies in 23 Muslim Countries.
Heck, if we get after Syria in the next few days, history will definitely repeat itself. Somewhere.
911 is 5 days away and here the we are talking about Striking Syria to Help out some Rebels.....in the mean time beside the threats coming in over Syria. We are also getting threats over other issues. Plus we have the Anniversary of 911 here in our faces.
Will the US get hit on 911? Or around that date this year?
Will Team Obama be on alert this year wherein he failed to do so last year with Benghazi and the 23 Muslim Countries that Rose up, protested us, rioted, and destroyed our properties? All used thru social media.
Short answer: No, I don't think the territorial US will suffer some sort of jihadic attack on 9-11 or around this period. Depending on what the US does with Syria there could be some forms of protesting and maybe another "benghazi" attack on an embassy (likely targets: Turkey, Iraq, Yemen, Oman, Saudi arabia) if the USA backs the "wrong horse" in the fight. So if it goes in on Assads' side (fat chance), it may get benghazied. If it goes on the side of al-qaeda (the rebels) it may not... since islamists love that kind of thing. And if it does what I suggest all of NATO should do: band together, form a military strike, go in and neutralize both the assad regime and the islamic rebels, there may be some blowback.
But no, I don't think that as a general rule, 9-11 is like "christmas" for islamic people and islamic extremists will try and celebrate it with a random jihadic act of some kind.
Probably why the President will not address the nation until Tuesday evening...
Ya didn't vote Pawn Stars? :lol:

He was just in a meeting in Sankt Petersburg for G20. What was discussed there, and the agreements that were reached, can't be violated so early. The idea of a military intervention has fallen flat at the UN, the G20 and in the opinion polls in the US.
At least when Bush started 2 wars he lied convincingly enough to get the popular support on his side.
So his address, if he wants to give a sensible remark, will be to emulate those opinions.

I certainly think they'll try. They don't have any reason not to.
Whether they'll succeed or not, however; is really anyone's guess.
At the very least, we can probably expect some riots near our embassies in the Middle East, and quite a few larger than average IEDs targeting American and NATO forces in Afghanistan.
Anything bigger than that cannot really be speculated upon with any reliable degree of accuracy.
