I agree wholeheartedly.
For the life of me, I cannot understand why some of us (me included, initially, tho I am backing off on this now) have been SO concerned with "EOM" and his/her posts/JPGs.
I, too, have been involved with the 'net since it's inception. And I also have seen STRANGE things that have no bearing to reality.
IMHO, we are all paying WAY too much attention to "EOM", who doesn't even have to register with the board he posts on. I could go there RIGHT NOW and create a post with the name "EOM". So why are we all even spending a few seconds of our valuable time talking about posts over there? I just don't get the fascination/concern.
If AQ comes out DIRECTLY, via a credible source (eg: Al Jazeera) and makes a DIRECT threat, I will take it seriously.
EOM does not fall into that category in my book. For all we know, he/she is a pimply faced teenager yankin' some chains.
The gov't is on Yellow. IF there were nukes (no doubt there may be, but I don't think so now), we would be at RED. Can you guys imagine the HUGE political fallout of not being? This ALONE makes me think the nuke angle is BUNK, tho I do not discount the possibility of these AT SOME POINT (just not now) falling into the hands of AQ via corrupt Soviet black market forces.
