It’s that time of year again, when everyone’s prognosticating about what will happen during this new year.

Eternal optimist Pat Robertson has weighed in:

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 doesn’t have a great track record with his predictions. In 2006, he claimed a tsunami would hit the U.S.

In related news, a new poll shows that 25 percent of Americans believe that Jesus Christ may return in the year 2007. At least we may have that going for us.
