fyi..
He's already in the basement of Madison Square Garden, shckled, and ready for his closeup ... during the balloon drop.
Bush needs something - these jobs numbers today, he's stuck between 43-46% in every poll except Gallup (which appears to be an outlier).
9 kilo ton NUKES penetrate such hardened (Caves) and are ideal to use in remote areas. BOOM Sucker..........

No doubt the operation is over with...the ground is being set.
ROFLMAO!!!
A background on the border area Afghanistan-Pakistan can be found in this thread http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1155685/posts?page=705#705
The capture of Khan was a critical moment in the WOT, IMHO.
Trying to assassinate Musharaff was bad strategy on AQ's part. If they hadn't, Mush wouldn't be after them; he'd say they were in the "wild, lawless tribal areas" and he couldn't do anything about it.
We may get to close that thread soon Adm..
The war in FATA will intensify any day now
Separately, Saudi authorities said another person they had arrested late on Thursday with Faris al-Zahrani, one of the kingdom's most wanted terrorist suspects, would not be named for the sake of the [national] interest.
"Bush needs something"
How about a coherent energy plan and enforcement of immigration laws? Short term loss of campaign contributions from oil/immigration lobbies, long term - 20 point election victory.
Agreed.. the anvil is set......now we await the hammer.
Howard Dean questions the timing of this.
For those who may be wondering........
FATA = Federally Administered Tribal Areas
Not to be confused with Finnish American Translators Assoc.
We had to threaten pakistan with its break up to force them to act against al qaeda.
this action is coming 6 years after the kenya embassy bombings and 3 years after 911.
All this time the pakis sheltered these islamists.
The fact that pakistan created and supported al qaeda is proved by the sheer number of al qaeda arrests there.
many more might still be hiding in pakistan.
pakistan created and then sheltered these hooligans for over 2 decades. had we acted in time and had we declared pakistan a terrorist state back in 1993, there would have been none of the world trade center bombings, nor the embassy or cole bombings. We should have resorted to similar measures against saudi arabia and tightened the noose around iran.
That must be quite reassuring to the folks in the UK, who must now be wondering, "what do they know that they aren't telling us?"
