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.

Okay guys I got distracted earlier. I did catch a glance of some of Daleel's diatribe. There was something regarding coming from the North. That made me think of our troops in Iraq and in Kuwait. Al Queda would be coming from the north going south.
And then there was something else that had #s 1600??? which when I clicked on it was a site for some Sudan eduction or college which made me think that that was a signal. Remember they are trying to recruit college students and the highly intelligents.

I realise Hawaii is a state but it is 'outside' the US and symbolic. It is North.
The Coast Guard launched an investigation after a watchman spotted a suspicious diver near a Coast Guard boat overnight.
That diver was never found, but the Coast Guard has called off its search.
And they say the harbor is safe.
"We were told they're checking in case of a terrorist," said Yusaku Kokubu.
Kokubu is one of the college students on board the ship. It arrived in Honolulu last weekend.
The Coast Guard searched for hours from land, water, and the air to make sure the harbor was safe.
Mario Dalfonso is a crew member on another ship that was searched.
"They checked the dive lockers, seeing if any gear was wet," said Dalfonso.
In the end, the extensive search turned up nothing.
A number of agencies were involved including Honolulu Police and the Joint Terrorism Task Force.
Tonk, any info on this?

Oh I believe plenty was stopped on the Holidays with the cancelled flights, and hopefully whatever was delayed will be stopped again.

They are going to Iraq. They are pissed because the muslims are working with the Americans and allies toward democracy.
Afganistan will be voting shortly, they have threatened to kill anyone who shows up to vote. They are in fear of loosing Afganistan and Iraq to a democratic society.
Remember their threats to the Islamic counties that assisted the infidels, Turkey, Kuwait, Britain, etc.. The only one they have hit thus far that I can recall at this time is Turkey and the attempt where the little lady is president (I'm too tired to think) and has there not been foiled attempts on Spain recently.

Heavenly Father, we return to give You thanks for the love of friends, and Your admonition that we pray one for another. Merciful Father, I pray that You would place Your healing hand upon Wes, that he might recover fully from his heart attack. Grace his care givers with the greatest wisdom ... guide them with all knowledge and compassion as the minister to him. May his recovery be complete and without incident, in the Name of Jesus, I pray, Amen ...

He talks about the Muslim nation that sent us the legionInteresting, the word "legion" always brings to my mind my early days in catechism class -- long ago. The word to me means "legion of devils".
