Coast to Coast Ping (forgot the list!)
Thanks Karl. Will tune in to hear it.
I want one in my neighborhood!
PS. I am still dragging after listening to last night's C2C show with the USAF OSI Investigator on
What did the USAF OSI person have to say?
Well, his site is because someone posted copyrighted material here....
People can tune to their local AM station if they wish.
Your memory is fine, but it doesn't necessarily mean anything in this context. Recons might simply be completed. The main idea in such a prestrike recon is to probe for weaknesses and set up the attack as well as the lines of exfiltration (unless it's a suicide operation). But you don't want to hang around or revisit the strike zone and risk compromise.
I wish I could stay up and listen to him.
Thanks BK.....I am sure that the USAF OSI Investigator interview was an interesting one!!
Thanks Oorang...it is nice to have first-hand info. like yours regarding the explosives license protocol. Just more reasons to get a handle on the immigration problem.
MILF rebels help AFP raid Pentagon hideout
COTABATO: Muslim guerrillas helped government troops on Monday find a hideout where they had killed five members of a criminal gang on a US terrorist group list, officials said.
The troops, guided partly by information from the rebels, raided a Pentagon Gang lair in a vast marshland in Maguindanao province, thwarting an alleged kidnapping-for-ransom plot, said army Col. Gerry Jalandoni.
The military had informed the separatist Moro Islamic Liberation Frontwhich has a cease-fire agreement with the governmentabout the raid beforehand to prevent accidental clashes with MILF guerrillas camped near the hideout, Jalandoni said.
The MILF provided information that helped the troops find the gang, he said.
Bomb suspect nabbed
In Manila police have arrested a man believed to be one of the two suspects who left more than 12 kilos of explosives and bomb components in Taguig on Friday.
The Southern Police District director, Chief Supt. Wilfredo Garcia, identified the suspect as Jemar Astalik, alias Janjalani, 19, a resident of Signal Village in Taguig.
Astalik denied knowledge of the foiled bomb attack but admitted having known one Gap-Bal Bana, alias Boy Negro, said to be one of the two men who left the materials.
Astalik was positively identified by witnesses Joseph Diala and Dennis Laguipo.
On Friday, police recovered a black bag, a box and a tin can that contained two kilos of TNT, 10 kilos of pyrotechnic powder and 90 pieces of blasting cap inside an abandoned mini-store at Block 9, Lot 15, Phase 1.
Manhunt continues
There were no casualties Monday among the soldiers, who recovered an M-16 rifle and two antitank rocket launchers from the hideout near Midpandacan Village, about 930 kilometers (575 miles) southeast of Manila, Jalandoni said.
Troops were chasing about two dozen kidnappers who fled after the raid and the two-hour gun battle, he said.
The Pentagon Gang is notorious for kidnapping foreign workers and Christian missionaries.
Some military officials allege the gang is the MILFs money-making arm. The MILF denies the allegation.
The MILF has been fighting for a separate Muslim homeland in Mindanao for decades, and has pledged to help capture criminals and suspected foreign terrorists in an effort to foster peace talks with the government.

Well, ex-Special Agent Richard Doty said there was a program of disinformation by the USAF and other governmental entities to encourage individuals that were seeing TOP SECRET military activities to believe they were seeing UFOs.
He also claimed to have misled Linda Moulton Howe, who is one of Art's long time contributors, over the cattle mutilations in New Mexico. He claimed the US Govt. was injecting bio-terrorism related chemicals into the cows, then cutting parts out of them and leaving the remains in fields, to further the mystery of "the UFOS" visiting the area.
But, in the end, he really did admit that Roswell was a true incident, and the alien really did like strawberry ice cream and Tibetan music.
Jihadist Commentary on the Killing of Rafiq al-Hariri
02/22/2005 - Reaction to the assassination of former Lebanese Prime Minister Rafiq al-Hariri on the Jihadi websites mirrored the diversity and the bewilderment of the world's press. As a sample of this diversity, the following postings are taken from the jihadist discussion web magazines and forums Muntadiyat al-Ma'sada al-Jihadiyya (www.alm2sda.net), Shabkat al-Ahrar (www.ala7rar.net) and Mufakkirat al-Islam (www.islammemo.cc).
Excerpted
LOL.....I just found out recently what that means!! My husband thought it was funny that I didn't have a clue.
You're welcome tmp02.
Prayers ongoing.
HEHE (Evil Grin)
LoL! But, strawberry ice cream is their favorite! Thanks for the synopsis BKarl.
Yep I saw that JellyJam and thought it was a good thing, but what REALLY SURPRISED ME was this ban was not already in effect and enforced. I'm shocked.
