They are starting to sound like the SNL skit with John Lovitz doing the lying guy.

"I am really beginning to think that they must REALLY have something up their sleeves. Suitcase nukes. Major bio attack. SOMETHING."

I seriously believe that if they had anything they wouldn't be announcing it in advance and causing us to increase our security and intelligence efforts. I believe they are trying to scare the public; "prepare your coffins". They don't know our public very well.

A back breaking attack? These spineless cowards need to shift their attention to a more attainable goal. They've only managed to piss a lot of very dangerous people off so far and lose two countries in the process.They are more annoying than threatening

These P*ssies can't add. The body count just from the first days make WTC attack look like a scratch vs. amputation...Bring it on...I can use the target practice.

I think if they had anything at all we would have seen it some time ago...


They shot their wad on 9/11 and Pres. Bush has had them on the ropes ever since...If they had any gas left in the tank we would know it by now.


We should be planning our own Coupe De Grace!

Yes of course it is venus... there is only one other 'evening star' and that would be mercury. These two planets are inside of the Earth orbit and so they appear to follow the Sun down in the evening and Sun rise in the morning, depending on their current orbital positions. Mercury never appears high on the horizon because of its proximity to the sun, but venus rises very high in its orbit.

But thats not the point...

A London-based Arab magazine said on Friday that al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden has vowed to launch a "back-breaking attack" on the United States by February, confirming an earlier message by the militant network.

They don't know our public very well.

...but they did see us go wobbly when people stopped flying. They're again attempting to create another economic downturn with bluster about hijacked airplanes. Scaring us is easier than blowing up Las Vegas.

We won't be frightened off again, however. We'll demand they be thrown out of the country, or shot and killed. If there's trouble I forsee a big hole in the ground stretching from Pakistan's nucleur sites to the mountainous Afghan/Paki border where OBL's grave is, and his minions are still hiding.

"Al Qaeda is believed responsible for the September 11, 2001 attacks on U.S. cities."

Got to love Reuters.

These are the people who now refuse to refer to Palestinian suicide bombers as terrorists.

Whst, next they will call them Freedom Fighters?

I didn't think terrorists gave warnings before a strike?

As for "back-breaking", maybe they will make us carry furniture into a new home..did that this week..talk about "back-breaking"..i guess qaeda is smiling in some dark stinking cave..

While driving yesterday evening, I noticed this crescent moon - star combination.

It looks like the Air France strikes were their latest attempt to worship Satan. It would have happened on Christmas day and would have happened during this celestial event.

But it looks like we screwed their pooch on that one.

What's the consensus? Do you guys think we're just hearing chest thumping, or is something "big" really in the works? I fear it is the latter.

I think it is the former.

Arabs are always full of bluster at precisely those moments when they are least potent.

Feeling all powerful after "they" chased the Russians from Afghanistan, they actually believed they would take down the Great Satan on 9-11, through their attack on our economy. Our economy, of course, took it like water off a duck's back.

Their ACTIONS indicate they have moved to secondary goals while blustering about strikes on our soil to APPEAR to retain power, something they MUST do for their recruiting effort.

I believe they see that another strike on our soil would bring even more dire consequences to their region, at least the foot soldiers realize this, if not what's left of their leadership. One thing for sure, 9-11 wouldn't have happened without a profound lack of respect, respect which has been restored by our ACTIONS in its aftermath. IMHO.

I think Reuters is owned by Arab interests so they have to be careful how they phrase things to please their masters.

I wrote them off after they produced nothing more than a couple of truck bombs in recognition of that calamitous world changing event 03 Ramadan was supposed to herald.

"Is there a connection between this celestial representation and the timing of the increased threat matrix?"

A star cannot appear within the disc of the Moon at any phase, since there is moon in the way to block out (occult) the star.
