Ijaz ping

[AntiGuv]

Wow. That'll be really tragic if this pans out.

[LibertyThug]

Heads up, Mansoor has always been in the loop and steps ahead regarding the Middle East.

[ClearCase_guy]

I pray that nothing happens. But if something happens, it will remove all doubts about WMD, it will galvanize the US population, and it will spell the end of Iran as a facilitator of Terrorism.

It would, in short, be the worst possible move for the Islamo-fascists.

[NYDave]

This was posted yesterday, but worth a repeat posting.

[JohnGalt]

Have these Benador Associates been right about anything?

It seems they only exist to scare soccermoms in hyping the cave dweller threat.

[joesnuffy]

they will not like the repercussion's concussions

[OneTimeLurker]

Wasn't this guy hyping something a couple of months ago (can't remember what). Said it was a sure thing and then nothing....

[jerseygirl]

If this happens, goodbye Iran.

[CaptRon]

a total of 30 warheads that were scheduled to be imported to Iraq from Iran.

Why doesn't Iran just put a big billboard on the Iraqi border with "Kick My Ass, Please" in big red letters on it?

[Mr.Atos]

And you have Lefties complaining about Apaches actually killing enemy combatants in Iraq. Killing the enemy!? Can you imagine?

Can we assume that once it is clear that insurgents will have no effect on the 2004 elections, that all bets are off with respect to WMD attacks both in Iraq and beyond? Granted it will leave moonbat fringe lefties looking like the jack-arses and naive collaborators that they are, but its not worth the casualties and misery inflicted.

[eastforker]

What is important in this article and the reason Ijaz reported it is to let the Iranians know that we know.Y'all say what you want but psyops is an important part of this war. If I was a betting man, and I am, I would say Ijaz works for the Farm.

[fso301]

Mansoors credibility leaves something to be desired.

[familyofman]

Convoys rolling accross the desert, undetected, bringing death & chaos to the infidels. Whatever....

How long do we have to wait for the attack? Will there be any forewarning - increased chatter, one if by land...

[mystery-ak]

..take your chem-suit out of your duffle bag.

If Mansoor Ijaz and his sources are being truthful, then what they say should survive a little BS check or sanity check of the assertions presented in this story.

Claim:   "They intercepted one of those trucks that were carrying a large warhead that had extremely sophisticated plastic -- C- 4 plastic explosives in it."
Analysis:   Look at the unnecessary and telling hype in that sentence.

• LOL, "extremely sophisticated C4"? As opposed to what, merely sophisticated C4 or just plain old C4?
• While the claim of C4 adds an extra "gee whiz" factor to the story, the reality is that no professional would select C4 for a large warhead because the unnecessary plasticizer would reduce the explosive charge by about 10%.
• C4 is not widely available in the Middle East, but Semtex is.
• And how did they determine it was C4? Was it wrapped in polyethylene containers printed "Demolition Block, M5A1" LOL?
• They intercepted that truck out of a large convoy of trucks jeeps and cars and nobody else in the convoy noticed that happen or took any action? *cough*
• And that truck and "large warhead" are located where now, in the hands of coalition forces? And the other journalists are just sitting on this story?

Claim:   "Ijaz said that once interrogated, the driver admitted that there were a total of 30 warheads that were scheduled to be imported to Iraq from Iran"
Analysis:   Now does that make any sense? In a sneak attack where the only chance of success depends on absolute secrecy and stealth, that they would allow a low level truck driver to know such intimate details of the intended operations? Only Westerners are smart enough to respect operational security?

While it would be foolish to totally discount this story, my sense is that it just doesn't pass the smell test.

FoxFan ping!

Please FReepmail me if you want on or off my FoxFan list. *Warning: This can be a high-volume ping list at times.

[Salvation]

I heard this yesterday on Brit Hume -- they broke the story. Strange that this is from newsmax.

[NRA2BFree]

I pray to God that this doesn't happen. Mansoor has always had good intelligence reports in the past. Let's hope they're wrong on this one.
