February 24, 2004 -- WASHINGTON - The Pentagon has dispatched the elite commando force that hunted down Saddam Hussein to Afghanistan for a new operation aimed at getting Osama bin Laden, officials said yesterday. Military sources confirmed that members of the shadowy Task Force 121, the unit that conducted the high-tech search for Saddam and his henchmen, have recently begun operating in the remote mountainous region along the Afghanistan-Pakistan border where bin Laden and key al Qaeda and Taliban fugitives are believed to be hiding. The Task Force is made up of highly trained Delta and SEAL commandos, as well as CIA paramilitary operators. It operates outside normal military channels.

I really pray that we do. Maybe this will be a big news weekend. We'll all wake up, turn on the TV and see them checking out OBL's teeth with a flashlight.

The death brigades are coming O America

We're really scared. Bring 'em on Aholes...and they better be sure they're dead or we'll finish them off and their silent accessories as well.

O allah your death brigades will spontaneously be filled with 44 mag and .30-.30 holes as they attempt their jihad..O allah send them to the virgins as they bleed in the streets of America like the vermin they are. May they die quickly to spare them from the suffering they will undergo at the hands of us Texans. Have mercy on their souls O allah because they are gonna need it!!

"A condition for making the telephone calls, up to 50 minutes in length and paid for by the U.S. authorities, was that the detainees told their families that their talks should remain confidential."

Ha! Are they kidding? I am sure the detainees' families are sooo thankful for our generosity and will all abide by the "confidential" request, don't you?! We are still tooooo soft, I see. Also, I do hope future American detainees all around the world who are jailed because of terrorism plots to kill the citizens and military of other nations will all get the favor returned: a call home paid by that nations' taxpayers. Yeesh.

Thanks for the reference. I hope the people in Afghanistan have a chance to prosper. The boot of the Taliban has been taken off their neck. The important question is whether they can maintain their new state of freedom.

I was headed off for a nice 1 week vacation in Wales in March 1996. I remember the trip well. Beautiful daffodils in bloom for St. David's Day. Just a few weeks later, I buried my mother-in-law after a short battle with breast cancer and shifted my employment to First Virtual Holdings, Inc. Sometimes your life passes uneventfully, sometimes not.

A call to arms from Jihadists in Belgium and the Netherlands

From the aljihad group at msn.com we received the following:

In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful.

Assalaamo Alaikoem,

This is a message from your muslim brothers and sisters from the Netherlands and Belgium. We want to inform our brothers and sisters in other Western countries about a very important task wich Allah has made obligated to us.

We have seen that our brothers and sisters in Afghanistan, Irak and other countries, are not sufficient to destroy the kufr army. "..but if they seek your aid in religion, it is your duty to help them.." (quran: anfal(8) vers 72)

Because of the fact that whole the earth is a battle field for us, it is possible to fight the kuffar wherever we want! Allah said in the quran: But when the forbidden months are past, then fight and slay the Pagans wherever ye find them, an seize them, beleaguer them, and lie in wait for them in every stratagem (of war)..(quran: Attauba (9) vers 5)

The muslims who live in the hart of the kufr sivilisation have a lot of oppertunity's to damage the enemy, and to support the mujahidien in Afghanistan and Irak.


O you who believe! fight those of the unbelievers who are near to you and let them find in you hardness; and know that Allah is with those who guard (against evil). (quran: Attauba(9) vers 123)

If we take the responsibility of fighting the enemy in our region, and the muslims in the UK take their responsibility in their region, and the muslims in the US take their responsibility in their country, then our brothers in Irak and Afghanistan wil be able to get the power, and spread the Islam and justice in the world.

We have started to make ready wat we can to terrorise the enemy of Allah in our region, like Allah has orderd us in the quran: Against them make ready your strength to the utmost of your power, including steeds of war, to strike terror into (the hearts of) the enemies, of Allah and your enemies, and others besides, whom ye may not know, but whom Allah doth know. Whatever ye shall spend in the cause of Allah, shall be repaid unto you, and ye shall not be treated unjustly. (quran: Anfal(8) vers 60)

Brothers and sisters, it is very important that we take our responsibility serious. This may be more important than fighting the enemy in the islamic countries. If one percent of the millions of muslims who are living in the west take their responsibility to fight the enemy in their region, we could be able to spread the Islam even in this countries! Then fight in Allah's cause - Thou art held responsible only for thyself - and rouse the believers. It may be that Allah will restrain the fury of the Unbelievers; for Allah is the strongest in might and in punishment. (quran: Annisa(4) vers 84)

So let us fight: ..until there is no persecution, and religion should be only for Allah(quran: AlBaqara(2) vers 193)

Let us fight: And what reason have you that you should not fight in the way of Allah and of the weak among the men and the women and the children, (of) those who say: Our Lord! cause us to go forth from this town, whose people are oppressors, and give us from Thee a guardian and give us from Thee a helper. (quran Annisa(4) vers 75)

Let us fight: ..in the way of Allah, who sell this world's life for the hereafter; and whoever fights in the way of Allah, then be he slain or be he victorious, We shall grant him a mighty reward. (quran: Annisa(4) vers74)

Let us fight: And if you are slain in the way of Allah or you die, certainly forgiveness from Allah and mercy is better than what they amass. (quran: AliImran(3) vers 157)

Let us fight: And reckon not those who are killed in Allah's way as dead; nay, they are alive (and) are provided sustenance from their Lord. (quran: AliImran(3) vers 169)

Let us fight: ..and Allah will punish them by your hands, cover them with shame, help you (to victory) over them, heal the breasts of Believers, (quran: Attauba(9) vers 14)

Let us fight: Or think ye that ye shall be abandoned, as though Allah did not know those among you who strive with might and main, and take none for friends and protectors except Allah, His Messenger, and the (community of) Believers? But Allah is well-acquainted with (all) that ye do. (quran: Attauba(9) vers 16)

And let *us* fight back.

I have friend who has family in Wales, they have wonderful stories of their visits. Daffodils and spring have good/sad memories for me as well. I lost my mother to breast cancer in April 1993 and remember cutting them for her that spring.

I read your profile....thank you to you and your son and your family....I pray that he is safe and doing well.

Do you know where the original pic at Jill's site came from. From post 1208. Since I can't get to her site, I thought I'd try the original.

St. David's Day is March 1st. The garden with my daffodils is still under 3 feet of snow. We have another 6 inches coming in the next 24 hours. Walmart daffodils and some nice leeks for soup will have to suffice this year.

Sorry to hear that breast cancer took your mother. I was lucky to have a very wonderful mother-in-law. My wife and I were with her at the hospital every day until she passed.

Our last vacation was a trip to Wales in April 1999. The airline lost our luggage. We had rain, high winds and snow. Our suitcases arrived at 5:30 PM Tuesday...we left San Diego at 9:00 AM the prior Friday. The trip home was the following Friday. It was still a great vacation.

My son is in San Diego right now. There is a strong possibility of another "sun and sand" vacation with the USMC later this year.

Another follower of the religion of peace is citing scripture to incite his fellow followers to violence. How much more quickly they will find Allah when verses .308 and .357 are recited from the rooftops.
