How big is a mega-attack? Does the attack on the Cole qualify? Khobar towers? Just curious.

Your clause about attacks on the US in the next two years says nothing about large scale. In which single person attacks would count. If only mega attacks count for purposes of this bet, then I don't understand the US 2 year/anywhere 5 year distinction -- it would just be a 5 year, mega-attack bet.
