Israeli security officials assess that 2006 is the "target year" set by the global al-Qaeda network to carry out a mega-attack in the country, Israel's leading newspaper Yedioth Ahronoth reported Thursday. bin laden

According to the report, Israeli intelligence authorities detected two years ago the shift in priorities of al Qaeda towards Israel, which has been "upgraded" to the rank of a major target. Recently, al Qaeda chief in Iraq Abu Musab al-Zarqawi declared his intentions to carry out an attack in Israel.

The report added Syria has been identified as a transfer point for al Qaeda members planning to carry out attacks in Jordan and Israel. It should be mentioned that on Wednesday Israeli Deputy Chief of Staff Moshe Kaplinski said that "global Jihad forces" maintain regular bases in Lebanon and Jordan.

makes sense if true. Hamas will undoubtly help. The goal will be to start a total Middle Eastern war.

Bring it on!

The rats are threatening to take over the house... well, until they actually do some damage, the relatives are just gonna want to sleep and kill only the ones that make it into the kitchen.

We are not going to get serious about this until LA or NY is a smoking, glowing hole.

Sounds uncaring?? Well, I care. But unfortunately, the DNC has created a situation where we can no longer defend ourselves. The only way to overturn this apathy is going to be losing a hand.

I have to wonder what the reply would be if nuclear weapons were detonated in both the US and Israel. Would we have the fortitude to set off 100 and kill 10,000,000 people? Or would we respond to the left who will scream for appeasement thereby assuring it happens again? I know I wouldn't want to have to make that call. Lose-lose.

True, but you may have missed the point that the AQ threat cited here is against Israel.

Tel Aviv could be a glowing, smoking crater and Bush/Rice would urge the Israelis to "exercise restraint" and "seek further dialogue with the Palestinians".

Do you really think so? I know we've reigned them in but if a nuke was set off, I'm not sure we would stop them. I'm also not sure we could.....

I think we would try and stop them, and that we would fail to do so.

Some day you should look up "strategic" and "tactical" it would help in understanding matters.
