...and to the Caliphate for which we kill -

Al-'ilam al-Islami - founding father of the Global Islamic Media Front - today published a call for the believers to pledge an oath, or bay'aa, to the "commanders of the Muslim armies": Sheikh Osama Bin laden, Sheikh Ayman al-Zawahiri, Mullah Omar, and Abu mus'ab al-Zarqawi.
This is the first time we've seen an on-line baya'aa in the Jihadist forums.
The oath is titled "The bay'aa of death for Allah".

"Bin Laden brother under investigation"
PARIS, Nov. 14 (UPI) -- Osama bin Laden's brother is under investigation in France for money laundering, Le Journal du Dimanche reports.
The newspaper said Judge Renaud van Ruymbeke asked Swiss prosecutors for access to bank accounts belonging to Yeslam bin Laden, who has been living in Switzerland since 1973 and has Swiss citizenship.
At issue is a suspicious financial transfer of $300 million to Pakistan via the Deutsche Bank in Geneva. Le Journal du Dimanche said the transfer was from an account held by a branch of the Saudi Binladin Group.
The French judge is also interested in a Swiss bank account held jointly by Yeslam and Osama bin Laden during the 1990s."
"Not a good sign. They are gearing up for something."
OPINION: Either that or just pumping up the jihadis and/or the jihad supporters with a little propaganda.
...and to the Caliphate for which we kill -
Nuts, the whole bunch of them need to be neutralized.
Thank you fanfan for the info.

lot To Poison German Lake
Updated: 12:31, Monday November 14, 2005
Police in Germany are investigating a plot to poison a lake which supplies drinking water to 4.5 million people.
Officers found several suspect containers in Lake Constance, in the south of the country.
The lake is shared by Germany, Austria and Switzerland.
A letter had been sent to the lake's managers which threatened to dump pesticides into the water.
Authorities are now examining the contents of the containers.
They say tests have shown it is safe to drink water from the lake.
Ditto; Ditto.
Also jogs the memories of past threads.

"13 November 2005: DVD's containing jihadi videos given out this week in American mosques"
by Laura Mansfield
ARTICLE SNIPPET: "We have so far been able to identify a total of five different mosques where these DVD's were apparantly handed out.
It is important to note that these DVD's almost certainly fall under the protection of "free speech"; all of the material is readily available for download at dozens of websites. However, the fact that they are openly being handed out at US mosques in Virginia, Georgia, Oklahoma, and Illinois less than forty-eight hours after the Al Qaeda attacks in Amman, Jordan, appears problematic to this writer.
This is yet another case of our freedoms, our civil liberties, being used against it.
Is anyone paying attention?"
Thanks freeperfromnj.
>>Nuts, the whole bunch of them need to be neutralized<<
or neutered!
Hi Cindy.
>> Is anyone paying attention? <<
We TMers are. Seems we are about the ONLY ones paying attention. (refer to tag line here)
I picked up another 3 cases of spring water this weekend. I'll be increasing my stocks of canned stews and such tonight. Hormel and Dinty Moore are making a fortune off me lately. LOL! The good thing is that these stews and such (Hormel Cheesy Mac & Franks are GOOD!) is that they don't need to be cooked and they need no water.
Stay safe Cindy!
Wish you were closer. I just made five gallons of elk stew. The elk was donated by my son. (he got lucky a couple of weeks ago) Have a big bunch of neighbors coming tonight for dinner to help diminish the supply. What's left, I will can tomorrow in quart jars and put in our "Mormon Pantry". Lots of good stuff in there.
"Gov. Schwarzenegger Arrives in China"
No problem and at least you saw it (winking).
winking back:)
Actually I'm not sure that this means a whole lot in and of itself - it's not that different from their previous calls to jihad though I don't know if any of them included calling for any kind of "oath."
What I think is more likely is that this is intended as just another propaganda method for lining up new recruits. Possibly because they expect major new operations soon, but also possibly just to fill in some of the foot soldiers they've lost and maybe round up a few more.
However for other reasons there is good evidence that they do indeed want to start something much larger than what they've been able to do so far. Their record so far is not great - they have pulled off a number of operations (some major) but at enormous cost both to themselves and to their good will in various parts of the Arab world. That could of course change rapidly - they're a lot like a cornered den of snakes, if we're not careful it may cost us dearly.
***Bush May Soon Order Attacks on Bases Inside Syria***

President Bush May Soon Order Aerial Attacks on Insurgent Military Bases Inside Syria
By IIMCR, http://blog.iimcr.org
November 14, 2005
Washington
Within the past several weeks, President Bush has come within hours of ordering U.S. military forces to conduct aerial bombing raids against insurgent training camps inside Syrian territory that are being used by foreign fighters as a staging ground in which to enter Iraq and kill American soldiers.
But Secretary of State, Condeleeza Rice and representatives from the Central Intelligence Agency have until now prevailed in convincing President Bush that Syrian President Bashar Assad can be reasoned with, according to high ranking officials within the Bush administration.
Heretofore Secretary of State Rice and the CIA have advocated patience in dealing with the Syrian leader on two accounts. For one, following September ll, 2001 Syrian officials, particularly its chief of military intelligence, Asef Shawkat, Assad’s brother-in-law, now a key suspect in the death of former Lebanese prime minister Rafik Hariri, worked closely with U.S. counter-terrorism agencies.
Secondly, CIA officials have told the White House that a U.S. military attack inside Syria may destabilize the Assad government and there is no guarantee that a worse government, possibly an Islamist fundamentalist one, might replace it.
Israeli intelligence officials have also expressed similar concerns to their Western counterparts.
White House insiders, however, report the reservoir of patience for Syria is all but evaporating by the hour. One official known to be strongly advocating a strike against Syria is President Bush’s national intelligence director, John Negroponte.
In recent months, President Assad has been shown unmistakable evidence by representatives of the U.S. government of insurgent military training camps that are being operated inside Syrian territory. Assad has reviewed such information and repeatedly promised to do something about it. But to date he has done little or nothing to quell the insurgent attacks, most of which are comprised by Saudi nationals.
“We do not have the least doubt that nine out of l0 of the suicide bombers who carry out suicide bombing operations among Iraqi citizens…are Arabs who have crossed the border with Syria,” Iraqi national security adviser, Mowaffak Rubaie, told journalists in Cairo last weekend.
In an exercise of pan-Arab solidarity, Syria’s President Assad expressed hope back in 2003 that Americans would lose the war in Iraq , which rankled feathers with Washington.
“The problem with any U.S. aerial strike inside Syria is that we are not a thousand percent sure where all of these camps are located,” explains one U.S. intelligence official. “But any such attack would surely bolster President Bush’s sagging popularity in the short term.”
Acting as if he knows what is coming, Syrian President Bashar Assad delivered a highly confrontational speech last Thursday at Damascus University in which he warned his nation to prepare for tougher times with the international community. “We cannot give in to anything that could enter our houses and try to humiliate us from the inside or play with our national stability,” said Assad.”…This country is protected by its people, by its state and above all, as the popular saying has it, ‘Syria is protected by God.’”
Assad seems to have pushed Syria into a tight corner by balking at complete cooperation with the United Nations’ lead investigator, Detlev Mehlis, regarding Syria’s complicity in the assassination of former Lebanese premier Rafiq Hariri’s murder. He has characterized the UN’s investigation into the February l4th assassination of Hariri as part of a United States attack on Syria.
Several well-placed members of the U.S. intelligence community report to IIMCR that members of the Syrian intelligence apparatus were definitely involved in orchestrating the assassination of Mr. Hariri. U.S. and Israeli intelligence authorities have hard evidence of Syrian officials discussing plans of Hariri’s death.
But neither U.S., nor Israeli intelligence officials, warned Hariri directly. That responsibility was left to French President Jacques Chirac, a close confidant of Hariri.
It is also known that Hariri was actively involved in the year before his death in attempting to overthrow the Assad regime in Syria. And yet others suggest the evidence the United Nations has on the Hariri investigation is not an open and shut case.
What is clear, however, is that one of Assad’s primary supporter, Egypt’s President Hosni Mubarak is believed to be exhausted in helping the Syrian leader extract himself from daily crises.
Syria’s 40-year-old leader, a former eye doctor who spent a year training at a St Mary’s Hospital unit in London, is believed to be in way over his head. Not equipped to run a country to which he ascended to power in June of 2000, Assad is no longer being given the benefit of the doubt. He continues to frustrate his own aides on almost a daily basis.
But can Assad save himself with the West if he were to do more to try to block the flow of Arab volunteers going to join the Iraqi insurgency? Very few are willing to take such a bet today.
Laughing...Hormel Cheesy Mac & Franks are good? Golly AD, I just can't seem to work up an appetite for that! (Rest assured I could if I had to.)
Well now, I know you're taking good care of yourself.
Thanks for all the updates AD.
Thanks for that map Gucho.
I appreciate it.
