Terrorists are close to carrying out attacks in Saudi Arabia, the US Embassy has said.

I can't find anything about the 5th fleet leaving Bahrain. Do you have a link?

5th Fleet evacuated Bahrain AUGUST 2001.

Upper left, somebody in front of a podium draped with a dark baseball warm-up jacket. Is this some kind of scene from post 9-11 WTC?

That summer was the first time I heard the phrase Homeland Security too. Something was up, preparations were being made and then came the horrendous catalyst.

[Happy2BMe]

"Hope they don't succeed. In addition, we should cut relations with that terror state..."

Do the math - how many out of all the terrorists on 9/11 were Saudis?

My first thoughts were that an attack on the embassy would result in our "response". Close the office now and clear the area!

Closing the embassy in saudi seems like only the tip of the whole story. More to this then meets the eye.

Is that Tommy Franks touching the moon's corona, and suddenly everything glows?

He's not preaching, he's despairing, and seated amidst the rubble. It's probably a Palestinian or Iraqi citizen.

I'm almost sure that the upper left hand corner shot is from Ground Zero, but I can't tell who that man is. Could be Billy Graham, but not being familiar with him does anyone know if Graham get as animated as the man in the photo?

[Rutles4Ever]

Scales of justice in the lower right hand corner aside the map of Iraq.

[Rutles4Ever]

I don't think it's an American at all. The person in question is seated, arms out.

That picture reminds me of a scene from the movie "The Day After." A preacher was in what was left of his church preaching to a bunch of wounded survivors of the Nuclear War.

[CJ Wolf]

It wasn't stolen from the corbis site. It's a graphic from someplace else. I think it looks a bit like Geo. Washington or maybe Billy Graham. He was at ground zero i think.

[caa26]

Without photoshop or blowing up the image, I can't really tell. Could be the aftermath of a homicide bomber in Isreal.

Two circles, one for the moon, one for the sun. Both seem to have a coronal motif suggestive particularly in the muslim mind, of eclipses (note the stylized "moon" topping many minarets). Both "glowing circles have "outward radiation." Perhaps it also tells a story. Arabs would start on the upper right, and go left, then lower right and go left. So what's the story? It starts with nbin Laden (see him in the tiny frames?) and ends with Tommy Franks (going nuclear?).

There's also a map of Saudi Arabia lower rt.

The circle in the upper right is the headress of a saudi bowed over folded hands.

The guy in the upper corner looks like a cartoon character. Someone they're making fun of? Christians in general?

[cookcounty]

As a Billy fan, I recall seeing Graham bundled in a scarf that way in some fairly recent photo. It doesn't quite look like his face though, and what's that strapped(?) to his thorax?

[Labyrinthos]

The circle in the upper right is the headress of a saudi bowed over folded hands.

Which also looks like an eclipse.

Just making sure it wasn't happening again. If so, it could mean "Battle Positions". Thanks!
