It is possible that the delay in striking us is part of an overall international strike plan that is so ambitious so as to make 911 look like child's play.

Yep.

I think most of us are guilty of underestimating the extent of their long-term thinking, and how inter-related their overall plan is. It does them no good to hit the U.S. unless they also can implement other parts of their plan at the same time.

First, I expect nothing to happen unless they think they can take over Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, or Egypt at the same time. Right now it looks like a light breeze would topple the House of Saud. Hence, that piece may be in place.

Until today, that seemed "grand" enough for my way of thinking. But something happened today that may have changed that: The Islamofascists are warning of a plot to blow up the Dome of the Rock and/or its associated Mosque. They threaten all kinds of dire consequences if that happens.

There is no way we (or the Israelis) would do this. But what if the bad guys did it, and BLAMED US!!!

This would be in keeping with time honored tradition: Commit some atrocity yourself, and blame your enemy. Voila! Instant justification for war.

So here's the theory: The bad guys blow up the Dome of the Rock and/or the Mosque themselves. (They set the stage for that today by claiming they know of a diabolical plot to do just that.) Voila! Instant rage in the entire Muslim world. Instant justification for steps that might otherwise be seen as too extreme.

So what could they be planning that would need this kind of provocation to justify? A three step attack perhaps? Such as:
1. Blow up the Vatican and kill the Pope. (nuke?)
2. Hit London hard. (chemical/bio?)
3. Hit the U.S. very hard. (chemical/bio/nuke?)

This is bigger than I had been thinking until today. But the outcome could be a unified Islam, as well as major destruction to their enemies.

And, of course, the war they are seeking between Islam and the rest of the world would be on.

I'm starting to reevaluate this whole thing since I read the first 5 chapters of 911 report. These people seem unorganized. For example the date 911 was initially going to take place earlier in the month but slide to 911. I think that 311 was easy to obtain since bombs were just place along a track. A nuke/bio/chem would take a lot more planning. Another thought... news about CA and NM...what if rumored strikes in NY, LA, DC are to keep investigators away from the real staging areas?

IIRC, it was the Israeli govt that warned of "extremist Jewish groups" that were planning on blowing up the DOTR.
