Also in the code: July 17, 2003
On that day, according to the White House Press Secretary site:
"First, President Bush will welcome Palestinian Prime Minister Abbas to Washington for a meeting and working lunch on July 25th. This will be the President's first meeting with the Prime Minister in Washington. The President is committed to his vision of two states, Israel and Palestine, living side by side in peace and security, and he looks forward to discussing with Prime Minister Abbas the path forward toward realization of this vision."
Is this some sort of Hamas message?
Yes, that was one of the threat dates- remember all the focus on "17"?
"Is this some sort of Hamas message?"
I didn't catch the 7/17/03 (thought 04)
You may be onto something as far as a potential target, but I have a hard time seeing Hamas do that. They have been coming up close to the line of targeting us directly for years buthave never crossed it in such a way. They won't target PA directly unless this chaos spirals in a dangerous direction.
AQ however, puts Palestine at the top of the list (ahead of Iraq or the Arabian Peninsula), and they have yet to make a big splash there. They would target PA officials as apostate. Hezballah and AQ worked jointly on the unsuccessful port chem attack in Israel right about the time of Madrid, Jordan, et al.
Tuesday is Tisha B'av I think. No idea if tomorrow or Sunday have historical relevance.
I can see the targets better than the timing at the moment, but I missed the '03 in 7/17/03. So what do I know?
Now Hamas would go after the Israeli political leadership if they could and have threatened that ever since Yassin, but Shin Bet is reportedly also tracking Jewish extremists ready to go after Sharon for the Gaza Plan.
The Holy Land is ripe for unprecedented trauma.
