*Reminder* Terrorist Attack Imminent
(oops, I spelled "imminent" incorrectly in the subject header)
In case you didn't mark this down on your calendar back in January... Pat Robertson Predicts 'Mass Killing' In Annual Predictions, Pat Robertson Says God Told Him About Terrorist Attack on U.S. in 2007 The Associated Press VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. Jan 3, 2007 (AP) In what has become an annual tradition of prognostications, religious broadcaster Pat Robertson said Tuesday God has told him that a terrorist attack on the United States would result in "mass killing" late in 2007. "I'm not necessarily saying it's going to be nuclear," he said during his news-and-talk television show "The 700 Club" on the Christian Broadcasting Network. "The Lord didn't say nuclear. But I do believe it will be something like that." Robertson said God told him during a recent prayer retreat that major cities and possibly millions of people will be affected by the attack, which should take place sometime after September. Robertson said God also told him that the U.S. only feigns friendship with Israel and that U.S. policies are pushing Israel toward "national suicide." Robertson suggested in January 2006 that God punished then-Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon with a stroke for ceding Israeli-controlled land to the Palestinians. The broadcaster predicted in January 2004 that President Bush would easily win re-election. Bush won 51 percent of the vote that fall, beating Democratic Sen. John Kerry of Massachusetts. In 2005, Robertson predicted that Bush would have victory after victory in his second term. He said Social Security reform proposals would be approved and Bush would nominate conservative judges to federal courts. Lawmakers confirmed Bush's 2005 nominations of John Roberts and Samuel Alito to the Supreme Court. But the president's Social Security initiative was stalled. "I have a relatively good track record," he said. "Sometimes I miss." In May, Robertson said God told him that storms and possibly a tsunami were to crash into America's coastline in 2006. Even though the U.S. was not hit with a tsunami, Robertson on Tuesday cited last spring's heavy rains and flooding in New England as partly fulfilling the prediction.

Pat Robertson is not the only one predicting a tragedy on the east coast this fall.

I predict that those who get money from suckers who like to believe the endtimes are nigh to continue to make predictions that dont come true.
And if Sharon's smoteness (yes I made up that word) was a stroke, I wonder what the almighty has in store with those who do atrocities in his name that are running the country.

One could argue listening to his ranting and raving is punishment from God for past misdeeds.
