"The dragon-slayer's red cross was the symbol of the Crusades
against Islam and has been adopted by causes ranging from football
fans to the Royal Navy. But, as BBC News Online's Simon Pipe reports,
some critics say St George's Day is best ignored."<<<<

Is the above the real key to how the attacks were chosen?

Is there an exact day for St. Georges day?

If i disappear, it took me 20 minutes to get the computer to work this morning, it would come on, but not go into Windows or do anything, oh well, so be it. Life.

St. George's Day, at least in 2002, was on April 23. I don't know what, if any, relation there is to how attacks are chosen, but since St. George's cross was used as the banner for the crusades, I can see how it would be an incitement for jihadis.

I can imagine, with their dedication to symbolism, how it must irk them that a "George" is leading the charge against islamic terror.

I'll keep looking for overlaps.

More fires in California today.

I saw a quick blurb about power outages in Montana and Wyoming this morning.

Cable news lately just sucks. Only see this stuff scrolling down at the bottom. They grab onto one story and gnaw on it for days like a dog on a bone.
