the Basques are the remnants of the Arabs from 5 Centuries ago

No, they are the original inhabitants from prehistoric times.

[B Knotts]

Ah, the Basques are the remnants of the Arabs from 5 Centuries ago.

???

I hope you're being sarcastic.

[Diddle E. Squat]

This might be a good time to share what you found out about the ETA and the popular soundbites that they only acting in certain ways, don't go after big casualties, etc.

[Lonesome in Massachussets]

Damn, those Basques are cunning!

[epluribus_2]

...and how 2.5 million jobs - mysteriously - lost right after tax cuts. 911? what's that?

[areafiftyone]

Thanks for the ping. Apparently Drudge has update it to 190 dead and 1200 injured! Prayers going out to the victims! :-(

ATTACKS: ARABIC TAPE FOUND

An Arabic language tape with Koranic versus has been found in a suspect van carrying bomb detonators near Madrid, Spain's interior minister has revealed.

[germanicus]

didn't think that "Basque" story was going to last very long

I agree. The Basques target officials, police but would not sink this low, murdering scores of innocent women and children. This has Islam written all over it. This could cause a backlash in Spain where emotions can run higher than cooler heads.

[BOBTHENAILER]

The Religion of Peace strikes again?

The Religion IN Pieces, will be struck again, hard!!!

[Sacajaweau]

Don't forget. Atta left his behind!

Sure hope the tape has some good clues that will halt some future operation.

[epluribus_2]

nope, nuhuh, the basques are pre-islamic/pre-arab by a looooong time. Probably remnants of cromagnon europe before the celts and other indoeuropeans.

[Shermy]

On the other hand, if the local LE decided to raid all the usual suspects after the bombing, these items might show up a lot...

[The G Man]

Since when is Spain the great satan? Why wasnt I informed of this change?

Well, they did stand shoulder to shoulder with The Great Satan in the run-up to the Iraq war.

[yonif]

The world must declare war on militant Islam and not just terrorism. But political correctness rules I guess.

[sarasota]

AQ always waits to announce their involvement. I wonder why...? To give their operatives time to get under the radar?

[AmishDude]

One more for the list.

Nah, that's part of 3/11 coverage.

That's it, that's the list!</Kornheiser>

[irish guard]

So, let me ask you all this.....does anyone think there is an "ahole" candidate running for president in Spain that will accuse their president of knowing about this attack and letting it happen, just like Kerry has suggested of Bush?

Timing is everything and the mere fact that Kerry is getting away with comments like that should force the bile up the throats of the families of the 9/11 victims.

[Dog]

Well I'll be darned.

[Florida_Freeper]

Al Quada?

El Quada! (sorry...I'll go now)

[Cap Huff]

Thanks for the ping. I'm on overload right now. So many stories to follow, and I've got a ton of studying to do for classes I'm taking.
