In the end, I'm sure the Leftists will find a way to blame Bush for "turning those poor members of the Religion of Peace(tm) violent."

Good article - almost certain to become a reality within ten years. More likely that an American city will be targeted, though.

Very good poitns about intelligence. These bozos in the press and prpaganda outfits lnow cery well that intelligence is always only intelligence and harldy ever hard evidence. By making all these "independant" inquiries the intelligence communities in US and Britain, will be further intimidated to ever make any clear warnings about threats.

The exact opposite of what is need will be the result.

Can't wear a scarf? Nuke a city.

Sure. Makes sense to me, totally. What kind of a fruitcake would, even as fiction, rationalize such a disgusting fall into irrational primitive savagery? What a disgusting piece of delusional self-righteousness and PC run amok.

This article gave me the shudders, for more reasons than one. These have more or less been outlined by previous posters, though, so I won't do it again.

Interesting to see the better of my hometown's 2 daily papers printing such thoughtful articles. Maybe they haven't slid as far downhill as I thought, when I left Melbourne (where the Age is published)...

"President Hillary Clinton"

- on the other hand, maybe they're just the same bunch of leftist loonies they always were.

I agree. I've got mixed feelings about the editorial, but the points about intelligence are interesting. Not totally sure about the agenda of the author though.

I plan to hold onto this article. It will be interesting to see how the next few years play out and how the reality compares to this.

I really respect writers who are able to do a piece like this. It looks to me like he has a clear idea of what is going on, and what the future may look like as a result.

He makes some scary predictions about the way we will view our own intelligence from now on. Especially when the time comes that we have a democrat for president. (Not if I can help it!)

This was a good post.

Annihilation of the United States
Monday, January 20 @ 10:42:19

The following is a translation of the article that endorses "annihilation of the United States" with nuclear and biological weapons:

Nuclear Warfare is the Solution for Destroying America

In the name of Allah the most merciful.

Thus, you are not mistaken in reading this text. This is the only way to kill the greatest possible number of Americans. The Americans have never experienced a threat like this one. During World War II, America used this [nuclear] weapon twice in three days following the successful Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. Today, the United States uses the most powerful and advanced weapons of destruction against peaceful citizens of Iraq and Afghanistan, and it proudly supports the war that Russia is waging against Chechniya, not out of affection for Russia, but rather from its hatred of Moslems.

America has bombed Iraq with weaponry that will pollute the soil and underground water with radiation for thousands of years. It also enhances its bombs with spent uranium to cause even greater harm to the people and the environment. This, so that no one should think that after they leave the island of [the Prophet] Mohammed [the Arabian Peninsula], which they have transformed into a restricted area, just to return to the same place [because of the pollution perpetrated by them]. It seems, in fact, that the wild beasts in the White House have forgotten or have tried to forget one very important thing, which is, in all pride - the Al-Qaeda organization. This organization, which strikes fear in the hearts of the infidel West, turns youth into people who have nothing in this world but their devotion to Allah and to His Prophet Mohammed, and who are the tormentors of the sons of whores [i.e. - the West], and who are shining examples of estrangement from the sins of this world . . . and of selling their souls to Allah .

. . Therefore, an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth. Even though the Americans have bombs possessing enormous power, Al-Qaeda is even more powerful than they, and it has in its possession bombs which are called "dirty bombs", and bombs with deadly viruses, which will spread fatal diseases throughout American cities . . . The coming days will prove that Kaedat el-Jihad [the Al-Qaeda organization] is capable of turning America into a sea of deadly radiation, and this will prove to the world that the end is at hand . . . Yes, we will destroy America and its allies, because they have used their power for evil against the weak. And now, the end approaches at the hand of the enlightened [Islamic] youth astride their horses [fighting the war against the infidels]; they will dismount either as victors or vanquished [i.e. - fall in holy war for Allah] . . .

Abu Shihab El-Kandahari
26 December 2002"
