Check this out. NORAD mock exercise is very telling as to what they are practicing for.

Something has really bugging me today, and it's "out there" so I hesitate to post it, but wanted to throw it out there for any thoughts you may have. I've been trying to gather information on this for several hours today, got away from the idea, but it keeps coming back to me.

Tomorrow, President Bush is going to be in Portland. His father coined the name "Little Beirut" for Portland years ago when protesters threw broccoli and assorted other goodies at his car.

Also, tomorrow is Friday the 13th. The Muslims don't look at that day ominously as it is traditionally viewed in America. I've been trying to find information about this, and found the following:

To the ancient Egyptians, life was a quest for spiritual ascension which unfolded in stages - 12 in this life and a 13th beyond, thought to be the eternal afterlife. The number 13 therefore symbolized death - not in terms of dust and decay, but as a glorious and desirable transformation. Though Egyptian civilization perished, the death-symbolism they conferred on the number 13 survived, only to be corrupted by later cultures who associated it with a fear of death instead of a reverence for the afterlife.

9/11 was a day of symbolic significance to Americans because we associate it with emergencies. Friday the 13th is associated with bad luck. What a perfect day to make an attempt on the president's life? Portland is adjacent to Vancouver, and the whole area is a hotbed for terrorists from what I can gather. Does this whole idea sound totally kooky?

This situation seems more likely than nukes going off, don't you think?
