"I will never cower before any master nor bend to any threat"

Two Chinese diplomats, away from their Los Angeles consulate improperly, recently sped their vehicle past a Los Alamos National Laboratory guard post near classified facilities in what U.S. officials think was an intelligence mission, The Washington Times has learned.

AP
Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi, once considered one of the world's most dangerous men, came to Europe for the first time in 15 years Tuesday, offering business deals and an olive branch — along with a veiled threat to return to the "days of explosive belts" if provoked by "evil" from the West.

Superstars welcome home Task Force Ironhorse
by Aaron Williams
April 26, 2004


WWE Superstars Lita, Miss Jackie, Coach, Undertaker and Shawn Michaels took part Thursday in the welcome-home celebration for the 25,000 troops of Task Force Ironhorse at Ft. Hood, Texas. The Superstars were among a host of entertainers including Drew Carey, Jessica Simpson, Ludacris, Randy Travis, Lynyrd Skynyrd and the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders that performed and spoke to the troops and their families.

Task Force Ironhorse includes the 4th Infantry Division whose soldiers captured Iraq’s former dictator, Saddam Hussein. The troops had been in Iraq for a little over a year and their welcome-home celebration was one worthy of the hard work and sacrifice they put in fighting on behalf of the U.S.

RAW Diva visits U.S. troops
by Phil Speer




For the second time in as many years, Stacy Keibler visited Ft. Hood Military Base in Killeen, Texas.

The leggy Diva – who stopped by the base last year to sign copies of the Divas Lingerie magazine -- met with troops and signed autographs during her trip there on Tuesday.

“I met a lot of troops who just returned from Iraq in the last two weeks,” Keibler said. “It was really great to see them. They were excited to meet me, and I was excited to talk to them.”

As you have noticed, I have taken a bit of a sabbatical from FR. Thanks for checking up on me, I am doing OK, although things could be better. I'm glad to see that the thread is still alive and well...I imagine I haven't missed too much since we are still here and in one piece.

I want to take some time to give my most heartfelt thanks to all of those who took the time to pray for my ill sister and my family. I have some good news to report about her. After going in for some additional testing, it appears that the tumor that was previously diagnosed as stage 4 cancer is now not testing as cancerous at all. I don't know if she was initially misdiagnosed or if she has just recovered...it doesn't really matter to me, as long as she is not in serious danger. I do believe in the power of prayer, and I believe that all of the prayers that you wonderful people sent out helped her immensely. I also believe in the threefold law, therefore I expect everyone who prayed for the health of my sister will see blessings returned to them many times over. I cannot thank you all enough.

At least 70 killed in Thailand gunbattles

BANGKOK, Thailand (AP) — Suspected Islamic militants clashed with police in Thailand Wednesday, leaving at least 70 people dead in the heaviest fighting yet in the troubled Muslim-dominated south, officials said.
The clashes erupted after militants launched simultaneous attacks on police bases and checkpoints in several districts of Yala and Pattani provinces, said Yala Gov. Boonyasit Suwanarat.

He told reporters that most of the dead were young men attempting to rob weapons from police and army bases. At least three policemen and one soldier were also killed......

Yes, we are under attack, from more than one group, but I get the feeling that the really important groups fully intend to get several results from our struggle.

One, now that it is out that even Russia and China have muslim terrorist problems, they are rejoicing that we are taking them out, true, only one or two at a time.

Both Russia and China intend to rule the world, so it is OK to set back and allow the terrorists to trim us down a bit, then they will do the final take-over.

On the radio news a few minutes ago, AP news said the President has signed something on Bio-terrorism, that will be released tomorrow to the newsmen.

For those that can get KDWN Radio, at 720 on the AM dial.

Mark is interviewing an ex Border patrol man, they say that there are one million illegals crossing the border per month, he said they are all races, including arab and white.

Mark is on 10pm to 2 am, Monday thru Friday and he is doing the Mexican Border expose, every night, he got hooked on fighting it.

BINGO. The last Queen standing will be the Russian. But they will not be allowed to have checkmate in the end.
Whatever these bad guys have, it originally came from Russia. IMO

Two Fighter Planes Escort Air Canada Jet


VANCOUVER, British Columbia (AP) -- Two Canadian CF-18 fighter planes escorted an Air Canada jet as it landed in Vancouver after a threat, but police said passengers were never in danger.

Officials were tightlipped about the type of threat that prompted the two fighter jets from Canadian Forces Base Comox to scramble and intercept the Boeing 767 on Tuesday as it flew to Vancouver from Toronto.

"The emergency landing took place as a result of an unspecified threat," Cpl. Peter Thiessen of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police told a news conference. "It was a safe, routine landing and the passengers deplaned as normal."

Neither police nor airline officials would say how many passengers were aboard.

"Our investigation has determined there was no real threat at any time to any passengers during this flight," Thiessen said.

British Columbia Solicitor General Rich Coleman told radio station CKNW that Air Canada received a threatening e-mail, but Thiessen would not comment on that.

No passengers were detained by police or other officials, he said.

Flight 109 originated in Halifax and stopped in Toronto before arriving Tuesday afternoon in Vancouver.

Thiessen wouldn't say if there were any suspects in the threat.

Norad, the North American Aerospace Defense Command, informed the Vancouver Airport Authority that an Air Canada jet was being intercepted and escorted by fighter planes, an airport spokeswoman said.

"This is a routine air sovereignty operation," said Capt. Dave Muralt of Norad.

U.S. removing most troops posted on Korean border

By Hans Greimel
The Associated Press


SEOUL, South Korea — The United States will pull nearly all its troops from their last front-line positions along the tense frontier with communist North Korea by October as part of a force reshuffle on the divided Korean peninsula, the United Nations Command said yesterday.
Duties along the heavily fortified buffer, called the Demilitarized Zone, will be handed over to South Korea, which has 600,000 troops staring off against North Korea's 1.1-million member military, the world's fifth largest.

U.S. Gen. Leon LaPorte, joint commander of the U.S. Forces Korea and the U.N. Command, told the U.S. Congress last month the changes were meant to give South Korea a greater role in defending itself. Yesterday's announcement was the first outlining details of the pullout.

North and South Korea are separated by the 2-1/2-mile wide, 151-mile long DMZ, a Cold War vestige strewn with mines and laced with barbed wire and tank traps.

U.S. troops guarding the inter-Korean border are often regarded as a "tripwire" because they are presumed to take casualties during a North Korean attack, thereby prompting U.S. intervention.

U.S. troops will be pulled out of their positions at Observation Post Ouellette, a dusty crag with a deep view into North Korea, and the bases of Camp Bonifas and Camp Liberty Bell, according to a statement released by the U.N. Command, which has overseen U.S. and South Korean forces since the 1950-53 Korean War.

U.S. troops in the truce village of Panmunjom, straddling the border, will be reduced to just a few.

There are about 600 South Korean and U.S. troops in the area now, the South Korean Defense Ministry said. South Koreans account for about 70 percent of the force, but that will grow to 93 percent after the Oct. 31 handover.

On Sunday, North Korea condemned a reduction of U.S. forces along the DMZ as preparation for a pre-emptive attack against the communist country. The North sometimes argues that a pullout signals an attack, because it would reduce the risk of immediate U.S. casualties along the border fighting zone.

The United States is reviewing its military posture in South Korea as part of a global realignment to make its forces more nimble and technology-driven.

The U.S. has not announced any changes in overall troop strength on the peninsula.
