planned to coincide with the Muslim observance of Ramadan wonder if we'll hold our response out of respect for the "holy" day - seems like we always do

I would hate to see a Ram a Dan offensive. Has anybody warned Dan Rather?

I wish we would stop telling the world all we know. I like the terrorists to be overconfident. It gets them killed or captured.

That's right. We don't plan battles during "Islamic holy days". If we did, the left might be offended at the military's cultural insensitivity.

They asked us to "stop" during Ramadan in Afghanistan. We told to grab some pork rinds and head for the caves. We're Coming!!

There is a "silver lining" in this cloud. The attacks are all threatened for overseas, not in North America. Hopefully, AQ still cannot mount signigicant attacks here.

There is going to be an uprising in Gaza on Yom Kippur.
Just a feeling.

... but ... but ... but ... isn't the fast of Ramadan a holy rite of the "Religion of Peace"?
Isn't Ramadan supposed to be a time of worship and contemplation?
Athough not allowed to eat or drink during the daylight hours, and smoking and sexual relations are forbidden during fasting, it's apparently OK to kill!

"There is going to be an uprising in Gaza on Yom Kippur."
Something along those lines seems a good bet.

they said the same thing was going to happen last year, except it DIDN'T make the news then.
As per normal with AQ, they say big, look small. If they say small, look big.

I have been wondering if the terrorists were going to try and replicate the Tet Offensive from the Viet-Nam War and produce the same type of domestic reaction that occurred then. Perhaps this is it.

The attacks are all threatened for overseas, not in North America.
Bodansky's report states that "concrete preparations for the consolidation of Islamist-jihadist springboards against the heart and lair of the Great Satan are being completed -- for Western Europe in the Balkans, for Russian and Eastern Europe in Chechnya, and for the United States in the tri-border area in Latin America."
Copley agreed, telling Cybercast News Service that, "I think Europe is going to be a prime target, but I think there's no question the U.S. is very much on the schedule.
