>>>what's with the fixation on tunnels?

Couple of fixations.

#1 - We are wondering if the "Belly of the Eagle" could mean an attack from underground. Specific interests, but not limited to, pertaining to Yellowstone and now from our tunnel cave research other marks such as Niagra Falls

#2 - I've noticed quite a few Mosques here in NJ have built along tunnel routes. We have seen the tunnel use in ME, why not here? Connect mosques, have underground labs, storage of material not wanted in blatant view.

#3 - I've lost my mind and and a total paranoid.

Thanks for the summary. The Yellowstone theory has been around for a while. Makes no sense to me. The tunnel theory makes some sense although still speculation. I think the reference to the "Belly of the Eagle" is much more symbolic referring to an attack of some sort that strikes at the heart of Amercian ideas and values.

"what's with the fixation on tunnels?"

Also tunnels that might lead to major waterways such as the Hudson, the Mississippi, the Great Lakes.

If one posting in this entire thread helps somebody in a cubicle or thinktank or army tent, the thread has done its job.

OK - have been lurking (mostly) on this thread for days...since all theories seem to be on the table, here's my 2 cents on meaning of "Belly of the Eagle." I take the Eagle to be a name for the United States...therefore the belly of the Eagle would be the heartland, say Oklahoma or Kansas.

Take it one step further. Look at the shape of the state of Texas, home state of our president. Can you imagine it as an eagle with wings spread? The belly of that Eagle (Texas) would be somewhere in central Texas. I would think the state of Texas would be of great symbolic meaning to the Jihadists-- it would be an added insult to Bush if they could hit us there. (I hope not...I live in Texas.)

As far as the great, dark cave goes - there is an obvious one that I haven't seen mentioned yet....Carlsbad Caverns, New Mexico. (Although I really think the cave reference is more symbolic than physical.)

You think your paranoid? ;)

We have the biggest Mosque in Chicago (NW side) only 5 minutes from me, only 2 seconds from the 17th police district. When I'm in a car I make it a point to scope it and what they are up to!
