You mean the Putin fan club ?

Indeed. Yet the motto still is "Ignore Germany, punish France, forgive Russia".

==Enjoyable read

Thanks. Did you happen to check out post #48 in conjunction with the oriinal post???

Yes, I did read your post #48 - Where you speculate about Zawahiri and a prearranged KGB meeting -

I simply think that is spook-type thinking - Al Zawahiri is not being held or (hidden) by the KGB - He is extremely likely to be ekking out a survival in the Pak border region.

The old KGB is not in anyway shape or form using Al Qeade as a tool for regaining power, etc, etc, etc -

Nah, while enjoyable to read / hear these type theories, I'm not buying them -

They are called one-time pads. Specific pages of books, magazines or articles are used and if you don't know which book and the specific page an intercepting party will not be able to break it.

Thanks a lot for the ping. Your posting provides an interesting perspective that I have missed so far in articles on Russia/Chechenya.

The Great Game continues..we of course, being on the field subbing for the British Empire. Russian line-up, Afghans, various types of jihadists, Turks, Kurds, etc. still in play.

from Dr. Ayman al-Zawahiri

DOCTOR Ayman al-Zawahiri?? That cave-dwelling nut has a degree? I found it hard to believe that Ahmadinejad has a doctorate in engineering (nuclear, perhaps?), but Ayman al-Zawahiri??

Anyway...it comes as no surprise that a Russki is working with OBL. They're arming Iran with junk, of course they'd help with al-Qaida.

Well said and nicely backgrounded. Alas, it seems that ‘Tap The Source’ has been tapped out as it were.

And unfortunately all too common occurrence on Free Republic.

1974 : (EGYPT : ZAWHIRI OBTAINS MEDICAL DEGREE) He obtained his degree in 1974 and practiced medicine for several years.
His profession, however, was not his calling. By the late 1970s, he was back full-time in the Islamist revolution business agitating against the Egypt-Israel peace treaty (concluded in 1979). -——— “Islamism, fascism and terrorism (Part 4),” By Marc Erikson, Asia Times, 5 December 2002

Exposes the complete failure of leadership in letting them share the oil weapon.

1994 early : (ZAWAHIRI HQ ESTABLISHED IN SWITZERLAND) Dressed in Western-style clothing with his beard shaved, the university-educated Zawahiri had long worked in Europe, organizing an elite network specifically designed for “future terror operations” against the United States. Bodansky alleges that Zawahiri established his operational headquarters in Geneva Switzerland in early 1994. ———— “Ayman al-Zawahiri’s Russian Adventure,” BY J. R.

Records show that Youssef M. Nada is, with [neonazi Ahmed] Huber, a board member of Nada Management. An Egyptian expatriate, Nada is said by the government investigator to be central to the Iraq/al-Qaeda connection and “a known associate of Saddam Hussein and Ayman al-Zawahiri,” al-Qaeda’s second in command. The government investigator tells Insight that Nada met with Saddam and had a “business” relationship with the former Iraqi dictator. Nada’s relationship with al-Zawahiri, Osama bin Laden’s deputy, is reportedly through the Egyptian Islamic Jihad, a terrorist organization founded by al-Zawahiri, according to the government investigator. ——— “The Link between Iraq and Al Qaida,” by Scott Wheeler, Insight Magazine , Sept 2003, Posted on 09/19/2004 10:14:43 PM PDT by Big Jake

NOVEMBER 13, 2001 : (WMD : ANTHRAX INVESTIGATION : KABUL, AFGHANISTAN : DR. AYMAN AL-ZAWAHIRI’S HOUSE IS RAIDED; SAMPLES TEST POSITIVE FOR ANTHRAX) Northern Alliance soldiers raided his house in Kabul on November 13 and a senior American intelligence official tells Newsweek that it resembled the lair of a mad scientist. Soldiers found grenades, blasting caps, electronic components and “various solid and liquid substances,” including white crystals and extremely fine, silvery powders in jars and plastic bags, and mysterious liquids in shampoo bottles labeled “special medicine.” American intelligence later collected samples from Northern Alliance colleagues and conducted chemical and biological tests. One of the samples turned up a “positive indicator” for Bacillus Anthracis, or anthrax. All of the samples are being retested, the source tells Newsweek.-——— “A U.S.-Based Al Qaeda ‘Sleeper Cell’ Was Poised to Launch a Post-Sept. 11 Attack on a Major Washington Target; Would-Be Terrorists Went Underground or Fled U.S. ,” Newsweek, December 9, 2001

DECEMBER 2006 : (ZAWAHIRI TAPE - MESSAGE TO THE DEMOCRATS) Al Qaeda has sent a message to leaders of the Democratic party that credit for the defeat of congressional Republicans belongs to the terrorists. In a portion of the tape from al Qaeda No. 2 man, Ayman al Zawahri, made available only today, Zawahri says he has two messages for American Democrats.
“The first is that you aren’t the ones who won the midterm elections, nor are the Republicans the ones who lost. Rather, the Mujahideen — the Muslim Ummah’s vanguard in Afghanistan and Iraq — are the ones who won, and the American forces and their Crusader allies are the ones who lost,” Zawahri said, according to a full transcript obtained by ABC News.
Zawahri calls on the Democrats to negotiate with him and Osama bin Laden, not others in the Islamic world who Zawahri says cannot help. “And if you don’t refrain from the foolish American policy of backing Israel, occupying the lands of Islam and stealing the treasures of the Muslims, then await the same fate,” he said.

He shoulda stayed in medicine. Assad was in med school too, but when his brother died he succeded his father as president of Syria.

But alas for this pleasant "line up all the black hats" theory, it is all the purest speculation and wind. Its centerpiece, that they must have read all his documents because there are people in Russia who know Arabic, is simply ludicrous. Of course they have intel operatives who know Arabic. But did they assign a high priority to 3 random interlopers crossing the border from Azerbaijan without papers? Saying they must have is like saying anyone who passed through US customs must have been waterboarded to find all their secrets, and could only have continued activities approved by the government, so 9-11 must have been an inside job. Just silly. Governments are incompetent distributed entities, not unitary actors with the full capability of every expert on every subject at all times. There is precious little reason for the man to lie to his own laptop, either. Too thin, too thin.
