There is a large stone in Mecca. Now big a nuc needed to turn it into dust?

[Chad Fairbanks]

A backpack nuke would suffice, I'm thinking. If that. Conventional weapons are more than enough to handle the job. If it can get through the thick coating of dried saliva that coats the thing...

[tubavil]

Nothing to see here, go about your business ping.

[oceanview]

where are they going to get a backpack nuke from? they would have used that a long time ago.

i saw no extra security at any of the bridges coming home tonight.

The terrorist are already trying to do that and blame the US

[Dialup Llama]

>Homeland security officials received information early Thursday indicating the terrorist network may be planning to hijack non-passenger planes, which would be crashed into domestic targets in simultaneous attacks, sources told ABCNEWS.

Thats why pilots should be ARMED Transportation Sec'y Pinheada!

John Loftus on Batchelor & Alexander now. The alert is related to a Saudi, who was employed at a university in Canada that had a nuclear reactor, from where material is missing, and no one knows where he is.

[oceanview]

did this story that loftus is talking about appear anywhere on FR?

[Chad Fairbanks]

I was talking about US, not THEM ;0)

[Monty22]

Expect a loaded cargo plane with nuclear material crashing into someplace in the next few weeks.

[oceanview]

yes, this is exactly what loftus is saying.

[ysoitanly]

Question for all: what happened to the alert at the US embassy in Saudi Arabia and also all of the 'chattering' surrounding the lunar and solar eclipses and 'delivering four blows to America' and 'dividing the country in 3'? - no, it's just just Debka - Fox mentioned it. Anyone have anything?

Pineta is Bush's responsibility.

[Chad Fairbanks]

No idea. Must go look now, I guess.

Federal Express: When it absolutely, nuclearly, has to be there overnight.

UPS: What can brown do to you?

[The KG9 Kid]

I've always said the next jet attack like 9/11 would be with cargo planes.

While we're walking around barefoot in long lines in the passenger terminal with the National Guard patrolling with unloaded M16s and arresting grandmothers with knitting needles, Al Queda will pass right by a sleeping unarmed guard in their stolen FedEx van headed for the undefended FedEx jets.

[ayoshida]

Why hijack? Charter.

[LikeLight]

Charter, or just use some of the many stolen airline pilot uniforms they've accumulated . . .

[joesnuffy]

Good thing cargo pilots are unarmed...thanks to Homieland Security and "Transportation Safety"
