I do not know why sweetie, I vaguely remember something quite awhile ago that they went on special alert due to something in the waters, but that is about it. I tried finding out when but had no luck

Ping to Master of Orions link in post 534.

"Authorities are not monitoring religious centers, such as mosques, said Caspersen, who explained no one bent on an attack would hang around a mosque. "That would be stupid," he said."

And we wonder why the anthrax investigation is so botched and the info that gets sent up is so ignored.

I think another approach needs to be taken. Like who gets perks when new mosques and islamic centers get developed.

Funny story! I can't resist. Is your sister a blond?

As a matter of fact, she is the only blonde in the family. LOL

She's very bright, actually. I think the beer consumption at the Super Bowl party played a big role. We all still crack up at that story. She was dead serious at the time.

What does this mean???

It looks like New York it to be hit first followed by Washington and Los Angeles 11 hours later.

but what does ...east of, west of obligue...mean? Could it be a reference to the eclipse?

Something about splitting America into three parts, blah, blah.

Ha!

Rewind and replay your copy of "Red Dawn"!

Red Dawn shows the frontline Gureilla war tactics that it takes to win wars. The movie illustrates the power of surprise, dedication, and member loyalty within a group. No tyrant or standing army can ever match such a combination. Originally the movie was to be known as Ten Soldiers as the movie entails the fighting spirit of ten citizen soldiers.. Red Dawn is a movie of catch phrases, and quotes that have left a legacy for the minds of the free. The movie left one quote that burns into ones conciousness, "We're all going to die, die standing up." This is the motto of the free. Rather in life or in death, freedom exists because of the selfless risk, attention, and constant enlightenment pursuits that drive the minds of those whom truly serve as the guardians of freedom.

The guardians of freedom it seems seldom enjoy the freedoms for which they fight, or seek to enlighten their fellow man about. This is true in the movie as well as in life. In the movie all but two of the original child soldiers dies. Those who know freedom best either die for its restoration, or live life dedicated to its continual preservation.

3 electric grids

>>That's a good thought there.

They might as well say "we're taking out the interstate highway system" -

- the so-called 'grid' is that diverse, that is to say it *is* no one 'thing' - it's a bunch of 'electric roads' (just about like the system of US Highways and Interstates is) so there is no one 'grid' to take out .. the grid is like a Goliath, though; he has to catch one hell of a cold and then he can start to have problems (like wide-ranging ice storms, hurricanes, etc) ...

A final warning Where are you getting these warnings? I've read them with some interest but wasn't sure of the source. Is it some jihadi website? Yahoo group? Thanks.

even if one assumes this attack is AQ, their attack dating appears random...

February 23, 1990: President Bush announces the U.S. ground war againt Saddam Hussein's forces has begun.
Feburary 23, 1998: Usama bin Laden issues his fatwa -- or declaration of war -- against the United States. His primary stated reason for this fatwa is the continued U.S. agression against Iraq (with some anti-Israeli venom tossed in for good measure).

February 26, 1991: Saddam Hussein announces the withdraw of Iraqi troops from Kuwait.
February 26, 1993: Ryder truck bomb attack on WTC in New York City kills 6.

April 19, 1991: UNSCOM is formed to carry out weapons inspection in Iraq. In this interview with CNN, Tariq Aziz refers to "the end of the war in April 19, 1991".
April 19, 1995: Ryder truck bomb attack on Murrah Building in Oklahoma City kills 168.

July 17: Annual celebration of 1969 Ba'athist takeover of Iraq.
July 17, 1990: Iraqi President Saddam Hussein launches attack on Kuwait and the United Arab Emirates (UAE), charging they had conspired with the United States to depress world oil prices through overproduction. (the official beginning on the "Mother of all Wars" and the prelude to the August 2 invasion).
July 17, 1996: TWA Flight 800 "bombing" (according to George Stephanopoulos) kills 230 passengers.

October 31, 1998: President Bill Clinton signs H.R. 4655, "The Iraq Liberation Act of 1998", restating the case for Saddam Hussein's outster and pledging support for the Ba'athist opposition.
October 31, 1999: Egypt Air flight 990 crashes shortly after takeoff, killing 217.

June 25, 1961: Iraq announces Kuwait is part of Iraq (Kuwait disagrees).
June 25, 1993: U.S. launches cruise missile strikes against Iraqi intelligence for the attempted assassination of President George H.W. Bush in Kuwait City (and, unofficially, for the February WTC attack).
June 25, 1999: Fuel truck-bomb explodes outside the Khobar Towers in Dhahran, Saudi Arabia killing 19 USAF military personnel and wounding 515 persons, including 240 U.S. personnel.

August 7, 1990: Operation Desert Shield begins, in response to the August 2 Iraqi invasion of Kuwait.
August 7, 1998: Two car bombs explode at the American Embassies in Nairobi, Kenya, and Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, killing 224 people and wounding more than 5,000 others.

October 12, 1990: U.S. supports U.N. Security Coucil Resolution 672, a condemnation of Israel's attacks on the Al Aqsa Mosque that killed 19 palestinians. This is viewed by Saddam as U.S. duplicity at its worst, and a transparent attempt by America to appeal to the Arab street's sensibilities in order to keep the coalition together and remove Hussein from power. Hussein takes it personally, as his diversionary tactics in escalating the Arab/Israeli conflict are proven fruitless.
October 12, 2000: U.S.S. Cole bombing in Yemen kills 17 U.S. servicemen.

September 11, 1990: President George H.W. Bush addresses a joint session of the U.S. Congress on the matter of Saddam Hussein and the looming Gulf War ("This is not, as Saddam Hussein would have it, the United States against Iraq. It is Iraq against the world"). This was President Bush's first major address on the issue.
September 11, 2001: Islamist hijack four commercial airliners in coordinated strikes on New York City and Washington, killing 3000.

November 12, 1992: A dozen western tourists are machine-gunned on a bus in Egypt. The terrorist shootings are connected to convicted 1993 WTC-bombing conspirator Sheikh Omar Abdul-Rahman ("The Blind Sheikh").
November 12, 2001: American Airlines flight 587 myseriously explodes over Rockaway, Queens, killing 260 (incidentally, AA 587, TWA 800 and EgyptAir's 990 all departed the same airport, New York's JFK, and crashed/exploded minutes after takeoff)

December 22, 1990: Iraq defiantly announces that it will never reterat from Kuwait.
December 22, 1992: A Libyan Boeing 727 with 158 people aboard crashes near the town of Souk al-Sabt, about 35 miles from Tripoli, killing all aboard. Israel is identified as the culprit by many in the Muslim world, and this crash is still held as a standing example of Western terrorism against Arabs.
December 22, 1998: Operation Desert Fox concludes.
December 22, 2001: Passengers aboard American Airlines flight 63 from Paris to Miami sudue would-be shoebomber and Al Qaeda operative Richard Reid as he attempted to blow up the trans-Atlantic flight.
