How Many Buttons Will This Story Push?

************************* AN EXCERPT ******************************************
Three Iraqis traveled to Colombia in 2002, before our invasion, on Israeli passports supplied by al-Qaeda and Hamas. That sounds like a good indication of a connection between Saddam Hussein and al-Qaeda, I would think. Does anyone wonder what their final destination was, or how they planned on getting there? And does anyone else find it interesting that Hamas and al-Qaeda launched joint operations to send people to the United States back in 2002, or even earlier than that, well before we invaded Iraq? This also tends to put the Hamas victory in the Palestinian Authority elections in a new light. If they're teaming up with al-Qaeda on missions against the US, then we should treat them just the same as we do al-Qaeda, and wipe them out, regardless of their electoral status in the West Bank and Gaza.
The Colombians have identified eight suspects they believe are in the US and want extradited for prosecution. The NSA program just went from an academic exercise to a practical application. The Colombians know that at least eight people snuck through on faked passports and are now in the United States. Do you suppose that an NSA program designed to check international calls might help locate these suspects -- and perhaps help stop a planned attack on an American target? Obviously, this long-term and expensive project by the al-Qaeda/Hamas partnership has some grand mission in mind. They're not traveling to the US for their health; they want to stage new attacks on the American mainland.
How does everyone feel about that international surveillance now? Sounds like a pretty damned good idea, doesn't it?
Sounds like a good connection between Hamas and Al-Queda which has been suspected for months.
This is really going to put Bush in a bind, one one hand we are fighting Al-Queda while in the other is a stack of money to pay them.
Which hand will win?
