Snip: War is hell. But it’s worse when the Marines bring out their new urban combat weapon, the SMAW-NE. Which may be why they’re not talking about it, much. This is a version of the standard USMC Shoulder Mounted Assault Weapon but with a new warhead. Described as NE - "Novel Explosive"- it is a thermobaric mixture which ignites the air, producing a shockwave of unparalleled destructive power, especially against buildings.
It proved highly effective in the battle for Fallujah. This from the Marine Corps Gazette, July edition: "SMAW gunners became expert at determining which wall to shoot to cause the roof to collapse and crush the insurgents fortified inside interior rooms."
Mexico launching efforts to register migrants in US for absentee voting
Snip: Government officials estimate 11 million Mexicans live abroad, 98 percent of them in the United States. About 4 million of those are believed to be registered voters. Absentee ballots will be used for presidential elections only.
Mexico's 1st couple authorized to spend $15 million (American) for travel and clothing
Snip: The Mexican Chamber of Deputies, for 2006, authorized MP$162,301,500.00 [US$15,268,250.00] for gala attire, general wardrobe, personal accessories, tickets and travel allowances for President Vicente Fox and his wife, Martha Sahagún. This is an increase of MP$62,903,200.00 [US$5,917,516], 63.3 percent, over 2005.
Snip: Soldiers perched on top of Stryker armored vehicles, scanning the desert with cutting-edge surveillance equipment, led to the capture of 1,802 undocumented immigrants in one month west of Columbus, N.M., Border Patrol officials said Tuesday.
The soldiers are helping the Border Patrol spot immigrants and drug smugglers but can't search, seize, detain or make arrests because federal law prohibits the use of the military to enforce civil law.
Snip: At 14 ounces, the tiny but powerful OQO ultra-mini computer would be just the thing for secret agents. Fittingly, OQO Inc. announced Wednesday that a former director of the Central Intelligence Agency and a former director of the National Security Agency are members of a funding body that led a $20 million financing round for the firm.
FAA orders fuel tank retrofits to prevent explosions
Snip: The federal government told airlines yesterday they will need to retrofit thousands of passenger aircraft to prevent fuel tank explosions like the one that brought down TWA Flight 800 off the coast of Long Island.
The 152-page proposed rule issued by the Federal Aviation Administration comes after months of wrangling within the U.S. Department of Transportation, the FAA's parent agency, over the cost to the airlines - estimated to be $313 million to retrofit 3,200 passenger planes over the next seven years.

Hazmat incident clears hospital
Firefighters arrived at the hospital at about 10:15 a.m. on reports that a small glass bottle of Buckley’s Formocresol, a highly combustible material, was dropped in a dental clinic exam room. The exposure to the substance sent 41 patients and three staff members to the hospital’s emergency room for symptoms ranging from eye irritation to scratchy throats — 15 had contaminated clothes, 12 received breathing treatment, and two received eyewashes, according to a statement released by the hospital.

Osama's 1996 Declaration of War Against America Has Been
Re-released
In ENGLISH!!! (This can't be a good thing at all!)<<<<
Thank you for alerting me to this.
Could this be the message we expect from OBL?
I'll fly again when ALL bags are checked, when ALL purses and backpacks are checked and when ALL lugggage/packages that go below the plane is checked, and ALL passengers' names are checked via multiple systems.
"Nine million basij will form a human chain around Iran on November 26 in support of the country's right to peaceful nuclear energy,"
Peaceful? That's a laugh. They are so full of it.
I can't thank you enough for posts 1756 to 1759, it tells the whole story, that we have found pieces of here and there.
I am not willing to think of what I think it means.
The russia and terrorist connection is there and has been all along.....do they laugh at us for taking the wall down?
It is chilling to think of a KGB man being the head of Russia at this time.
Thank you for doing all the extra work to get it all over here.
the Muslim Brotherhood's ultimate goal may not be simply
"to help Muslims be the best citizens they can be," but rather
to extend Islamic law throughout Europe and the United
States.[2]<<<<<
It appears they are working fast, spreading to the rest of the world.
Thanks for the ping.

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement spokeswoman Lorie Haley said only that Mohamed, 37, was "in custody on immigration violations" and is being held at the Northwest Detention Center in Tacoma."

I was too late it is pulled, tried the second link, but couldn't open it.
Thanks for the ping.
Snip: "We repeat that America, Australia, England and Italy are
all our enemies," said the militant, wearing a black balaclava and
constantly pointing his right finger in the air.<<<
They sure like that threat.....
Good set of articles, thank you.
They catch a lot of Chinese on the Mexican border too.
I do not understand why they keep letting the spies go free.
Your report on the WMD found in Iraq, is true, we had photo's here in the "You Gotta See This" threads during the war.
The liberals on the radio will tell whopper lies, it is amazing to listen to some of them, when you have heard the speaker they are talking about yourself and know what was said.
In my opinion, it is all part of the left's plan for America.
Aren't those new weapons exciting, wow.
Thanks for the missing scientists link, makes one wonder how many of them could have found the cure for the bird flu?
Good links, the "bottle" makes me think of the one the men had that broke into the lab at the university in Oklahoma.
All these little attacks, either real or 'wanta be's'.
