Limbaugh, today or yesterday, noted that the outcome of the Presidential election would likely hinge on events that had yet to unfold.

Remember, Kerry told us the threat has been exaggerated. Those people must only be a little bit dead.

Please do NOT nuke this thread. At the very least please display the link for the thread which I'm assuming is the original however cryptic it is.

Well, well, well. Maybe Europe will change their tone about the War on Terror now...nah. I think that's just a little too much to ask for. Not that it's necessary.

Purported Qaeda Letter Claims Spain Bombings-Paper

Thu Mar 11, 2004 03:31 PM ET

DUBAI (Reuters) - A letter purporting to come from Osama bin Laden's al Qaeda network claimed responsibility for the train bombings in Spain on Thursday, calling them strikes against "crusaders," a London-based Arabic newspaper said.

"We have succeeded in infiltrating the heart of crusader Europe and struck one of the bases of the crusader alliance," said the letter which called the attacks "Operation Death Trains." There was no way of authenticating the letter, a copy of which was faxed to Reuters' office in Dubai by the London-based al-Quds al-Arabi newspaper.

The letter bore the signature "Abu Hafs al-Masri Brigades." The newspaper received similar letters from the same brigade claiming responsibility on behalf of al Qaeda for a November bombing of two synagogues in Turkey and the August bombing of the U.N. headquarters in Baghdad.

It can't be a terrorist attack. It must've been some sort of industrial accident or something. John Fonda Kerry said the terrorist threat has been overblown by this administration, so it must be the case.....

Interesting. Al Qaeda doesn't normally claim responsiblity, but I guess their inability to mount a signficant attack recently makes it necessary to call attention to their handiwork.

Terrorism is over exaggerated. It's a law enforcement issue

Kerry will blame Bush for "making them mad". As if 8 years of Clinton appeasement made them softies...

Has candidate Kerry reassured the Spanish that this global terrorism stuff is just a political ploy ginned up by GWB to get re-elected?

More notably ... it didn't happen HERE! A testament to the administration's efforts to safeguard its citizens in the post 9/11 world.

Now would I.

AQ think this will make them cower in the corner?

I pity those whom Spain finds involved in this hideous bombing.

Prayers for Spain,their victims and their families.
