The Threat Matrix

The title refers to a daily report given to the president of the United States detailing the most serious terrorist threats against the country. To tackle those threats, the government has formed a top-notch task force to infiltrate the terror cells and cut off the danger.

"Every morning, the president receives a list of the top ten terrorist threats - this list is known as the threat matrix."

We here at FR are trying to be in conjunction with the daily reports around the world that involve threats. We try to provide a storehouse of information that takes hours of research.

YOU be the judge and get informed!

Connect these dots, now
Full Story

"We should have secured the Mexican border."

That could be the pitiful lament we hear from negligent U.S. officials if Al Qaeda pulls off an attack on the United States using weapons of mass destruction smuggled across our southern frontier.

Were that horrendous event to happen, leaders in the administration and Congress would be justly hit with the same question that was perhaps unjustly cast at them and their predecessors after the unprecedented Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks: Why didn't they connect the dots?

Iran is making a uranium powder that is a key first step in the enrichment process that can make nuclear weapons...

Iran is certainly pushing buttons, knowing full well the retaliatory "panic" button is already half engaged by some of its neighbor nations.

Please pray for my Aunt Clara. She is suffering from Pneumonia in both of her lungs and is on a ventilator. Every time the doctors attempt to lower her oxygen levels her heart goes into distress. She is currently unable to breathe on her own. She is like a second Grandmother to me. Thank you for your prayers. They are desperately needed at this time. G-d bless you all.

1) The truth trickles out. "It now appears that the premise of the question that caused an uproar around Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld was, so to speak, off base," FNC's Brit Hume noted Tuesday night in reminding viewers how two weeks ago National Guardsman "Thomas Wilson said to Rumsfeld, quote, 'our vehicles are not armored, we do not have proper armament vehicles to carry
with us north,' into Iraq." But, Hume relayed, "according to senior Army officers, about 800 of the 830 vehicles in Wilson's Army regiment, the 278th Calvary, had already been up-armored" at the time of his widely publicized question. Some Hearst newspapers reported that fact last week and since then it has trickled up the media stream into NewsMax, the Washington Times and FNC, but not
the other networks or major newspapers.

Off Topic Also: Thanks Cindy for your Noel song/poem. Also thank this forum for the opportunity to treasure the memory of our long held Christmas tradition of honoring the birth of Christ that has always been part of our country's celebration of the season (and Hanukkah as well!).

Whatever happened to freedom of speech and religious freedom (including Christian and Jewsish)? Restoration of our country's treasured religious traditions is what I really want for Christmas more than anything else!

[JellyJam]

Sending prayers and best wishes!
