Historically speaking, any kind of message from Bin Laden, such as the audio tape of last week (even one of questionable provenance and authenticy) is followed by one or more major international attacks within 2 days to 2 weeks.

The message boards are strange. Several died early today, only to resurrect themselves this afternoon. Not sure what's going on. There's a lot of wierdness out there, and a lot of jihadis who are usually key posters who are simply not around. That concerns me. Maybe they took a vacation; maybe they gave up the jihad; maybe they forgot to pay the ISP bill; or maybe they are out getting ready for something.

There were serious indicators of the events in Saudi Arabia. The State Department recognized that and pulled all nonessential diplomatic personnel out last week. There have been numerous bomb laden cards intercepted, and several shootouts with security forces. The attack in Saudi Arabia was not unexpected.

Jordan was put on notice by Al Qaeda several weeks ago, after a court sentences Abu Mus'ab al Zarqawi and several of his comrades to death in absentia for the murder of US diplomat Lawrence Folley. Since then, it has been a matter of "when" not "if" Jordan was going to be hit. They will try again. The Jordanian security forces did an awesome job stopping the chem attack - VX is not a nice weapon.

Citizens of Baghdad remain on notice until the 23rd to stay indoors due to the insurgents' plans to move battles into the capital. Several attacks on Basrah were stopped on Ashurah, a month and a half ago. Again, Al Qaeda goes back to finish the job. I don't think the military was caught off guard. I think the poor kids in the school buses were just in the wrong place at the wrong time. It makes me want to cry and at the same time very angry to think about it.

Israel remains on high alert - they are expecting an attack at any time.

The Brits stopped numerous attacks including on on a soccer game.

All of us here see the red flags. Many of us think something is getting ready to happen. We can't quite put the where and what and when, beyond "soon".

Anyone see how low silver is? As of 4:00 pm ET today it was $6.18

BUMP!

Multipronged simultaneous and numerous attacks across multiple theatres to get the US off guard, overextended and disoriented.

Jordan, Saudi, Pak??, Europe, A Battle for Baghdad or the Green Zone.....Global economic choke points

I noticed that also, not the regular Mjahideen out today. This one from IH but he is the only one so far.

How America will be destroyed

---

We are going to draw the americans out of there hole, let them set up bases all over the world, then we will destroy there "so called coalition" use there own fiscal sytem to destroy there economy and turn them into a 3rd world country. It might take ten years or 20 years or 30 years but by the will of allah inshallah, patience is the key to beating the USA or the great satan. Blair better get the hell out as quickly as possible and join the EU, unless he wants to meet the same fate as the USA. The great nations such as Russia,China and Africa will truely regain there true place, as well, the new world trade centers will be in China.

maybe they are out getting ready for something.

I would tend to think the above is the case. SP2BF, you understand their language and culture a lot better than I do. But with the brainwashing in the madrassas, once they have committed to jihad, they don't seem to back off.
