A SOURCE CLOSE TO AL-QA'IDA SAID THAT 'THE HOLY WARRIORS HAVE COMPLETED THE PREPARATORY STAGE AND STARTED THE COUNTDOWN FOR THE EXECUTION OF AN ATTACK INSIDE THE UNITED STATES.'

Somebody warn Omar the Tentmaker that he'd better make that first shot count. The Japanese can tell them: Uncle Sam's payback is a real bitch.

THE SOURCE CLAIMED THAT THE NEXT ATTACKS WILL CAUSE AMERICA 'TO LOSE CONTROL OF ITSELF AND THE ABILITY TO COMMUNICATE WITH ITS ARMY.'

Hmm. this brings to mind a nuclear detonation — not on the surface, but in space. An atomic explosion of a certain strength at a certain altitude could very easily fry every comminications, weather, and navigational satellite in orbit — not to mention the EMP effects it could cause on Earth. It's a possibility we should consider seriously.

I share your concern for civilian facilities but military equipment (earth and space based) is mostly protected against EMP effects (through shielding and less sensitive componentry).

When they learn to launch a donkey-cart into space,I will be concerned.

Do you really believe that Al-caca has the technology to put a warhead into space?

[Toespi]

They do not have a delivery system, that would have to be a rocket launch similiar to NASA capabilites. Be assured that we know every particle that is sent into space and it would be shot down in minutes.

The Islamics are going to bomb us from space? They can't even manufacture a flashlight.
