WASHINGTON (CNN) -- This week's deadly train bombings in Spain will not lead to a rise in the U.S. color-coded terror threat alert system, a Department of Homeland Security spokesman said Friday.

"Based on the current intelligence, we have no specific indicators that terrorist groups are considering such an attack in the U.S. in the near term," said department spokesman Brian Roehrkasse.

That's horrible.

Transcript of Purported Al-Qaida Videotape

"the release of a new message from Osama bin Laden. We suspect that the message will be consistent with previous tapes; it will be congratulatory in nature but very vague, speaking to the success of the attack in Spain only in generalities."

"All indications continue to suggest that Osama bin Laden is NOT free to record new messages - and that his "capture" will soon be announced - with the notification of his death from ill health."

Either I'm confused or the post itself is confusing.

The first quote mentions a soon to be released new message from Osama (I imagine this will be in the form of a tape, hence a recorded voice message). While the second quote mentions that Osama "is NOT free to record new messages"

Which one is it, is he free to record or not?

Also, if he has been captured, was he captured alive and subsequently died, or was he captured dead?

(maybe I've been reading too much, but the above two quotes regarding a new message from Osama are contradictory).

Yemen will be the third swamp [5] [in which] America the Tyrant of This Generation [will sink]

That's the question I raised yesterday. Does it appear as if they believe we will be bringing troops into Yemen (1st Afganistan 2nd Iraq......)? Swamp appearing to me to signify the same as quagmire. It's the only sense I could make of the statement.

Unbelievable this comes from ultra leftist New York Daily News.

[virtude]

"A seven-month-old girl called Patricia survived for around 30 hours following the explosions."

OMG!! A seven month old innocent little angel. I cant take this kind of news.

WHERE IS THE MASS MEDIA? SOMETHING IS IN THE WORKS! FREEDOM IS COMING! This Chehar Shanbeh Suri and NoRooz (New Year) is going to be one that lives in History - SUPPORT ALL IRANIAN FREEDOM FIGHTERS - LONG LIVE A FREE IRAN and may THE IRANIAN PEOPLE FIGHT BRAVELY AND SUCCEED!

Ongoing Rebellion in Fereydunkenar! MOST RECENT PHOTOS FROM UPRISING:

The demonstrations began some hours ago. Fereydunkenar is a small town in the northern province of Mazandaran. The people attacked and were able to liberate a building used by the Islamic Republic's security forces (Sentry Post #2). They then started moving to the city of Babolsar, but were soon confronted by Mazandaran's provincial security forces. They've been pushed back into Fereydunkenar and the latest news I've heard is that the small town is now divided between the rebels and the security forces and the scene of fierce street battles.

At least 5 people have been killed and scores injured.

NOTE, THIS UPRISING IS STILL CONTINUING.

I think it's now impossible to deny we are in another world war. It's real and everyone is being forced to see it, on their way to work on the morning train.

I went over to NEIN to see if there are any more messages. The entire paragraph re: BL"S death is confusing. It starts out with "New message expected from Bin Laden" then by the end of the paragraph he's dead.

Its the weekend, they're probably drinking over there. Started the article, swooned off into la-la land, then snapped back to it and finished up article. Took another swig out the old jug, proof read the article and decided oh yeah, great, Jason Blair eat your heart out. Print.

LOL, probably

Living here in western South Dakota, we have no Muslims (that I know of). But I do alot of international travel. From personal experience, I can tell you that the airports in Berlin, Istanbul, Vilnius, Mexico City, Belgrade, Bucharest, Frankfurt, Vladivostok, Shanghai, Hong Kong,Amsterdam, Seoul, Vienna, and London are absolutely full of them. Perhaps I just notice them more now. I really don't think they were so terribly predominant 10 years ago. Again, it may just be that I am looking for them now. Yet, it worries me a bit that I see so many more of them in recent years.

The end of the month I am going to South America for 10 days. As usual, I check on the State Department advisories before we go to another country. They just arrested several Al Quaeda in Brazil two weeks ago. I'll let you know what I see there.

My friends are of the opinion that all the travel I do is rather glamorous. It isn't! It's scary! And I always pack too much. I never know what to pack, so I take everything. You would think I would learn after all these years.

Okay, here I am rambling again....what I meant to say was that the Muslims are growing and expanding everywhere. I'm sure that many of them are wonderful people....but many are not!

[TexKat]

Does it appear as if they believe we will be bringing troops into Yemen

No MamaDearest I don't believe that they think that we would be sending in a huge military force. They have the same plans for Yemen as they did for Spain imho. However we did have some military already in Yemen, I'm not sure if they are still there.

with the notification of his death from ill health.

That would be celebratory news. The only problem I foresee with it is that many newscasters have been postulating that OBL is already in custody and release of the news of his capture will not come until election time. If there was verification that GWB was manipulating the news for re-election purposes, it would certainly feed the slur/slander machine of the Democratic party and reduce the political value of the capture. It's a dirty campaign and already there are no boundaries to Kerry's venomous attacks. A Statesman Kerry is not. If OBL is not captured on the GWB watch, with Kerry's promised policy of diplomacy, OBL will essentially be free to terrorize the world. The citizens of the USA aren't the only ones who need to make sure GWB is re-elected.

AZF has issued a new threat to the French government, saying it will bomb the country's rail network unless it receives millions in ransom money

I'd offer to take contributions for their ransom fund, but I'm busy painting my nails today. Tomorrow doesn't look good either.

[MamaDearest]

Oh just bring me his head on a pole and I'll decide whether he is dead or alive.

I have the 10 foot pole you'll need to get near to him or use to "arrange the head just right" on that pole.

[MamaDearest]

We share their grief with them. It was barbaric and totally unnecessary. God help the survivors and the families of the dead.

[Rushmore Rocks]

This isn't a humorous thread....but that was funny!!!

[MamaDearest]

It certainly appears they have some kind of plans for Yemen as well.
