Threat Matrix: Daily Terror Threat - Thread Thirty-Five

Posted on 03/09/2006 10:08:04 PM PST by nwctwx

:::FreeRepublic's Threat Matrix:::
Unrest in Pakistan Setback for Terror War
(Full Story)

ISLAMABAD, Pakistan -- A week of unprecedented urban fighting in the wild tribal belt of North Waziristan has left scores dead and forced thousands to flee their homes, raising the stakes in Pakistan's war on Islamic militancy along the Afghan border.

A jumbled alliance of foreign militants, local tribesmen and Islamic students eager for jihad have stepped up resistance in a region where the army already claims to have wiped out al-Qaida as a viable fighting force.

The unrest, brewing for months, is a setback to the U.S.-led war on terror. Further hampering that effort are deteriorating relations between Pakistan and Afghanistan over Afghan claims that Taliban leader Mullah Omar is hiding in Pakistan and suicide bombers are training here.

And our 'leaders' want us to just continue shopping. Illegals, AQ sleeper cells, now Hezbollah - time to buy more ammunition and get even more range time.

Thanks again JP. Please keep 'em coming!

A BIT MORE INFO FROM SKY NEWS:

A tourist ship carrying a number of Westerners is feared to have sunk off the coast of Bahrain in the Gulf.

A hospital source said that many people were missing, while at least one body has been recovered.

The vessel was believed to have taken out around 150 tourists for a short tour of the Gulf, the hospital source added.

"Many on board were rescued," a Bahraini official said.

Ambulances could be heard rushing to the port from which the vessel had set off.

The US Navy said it was sending rescue crews to the scene.

The FBI broke up a ring that tried to smuggle Hezbollah operatives into the United States.

I see you found that... in my opinion, we are already in WWIV ( WWIII being the Cold War ) and there are two, somewhat interlocking elements to it:

A poignant reminder why we never relent in our fight on the WOT and illegal immigration:

Halabja incident could turn to growth of democracy

Five thousand innocent Kurds, including women and children, perished in the fatal attack. March 16, 2006, marked the 18th anniversary in Halabja, a city of Suleimanyia province. This site is considered by Kurds as a sacred place to honor the victims of chemical attacks by the Ba'athist administration.

On this occasion, however, angry demonstrators set the Halabja monument on fire and in a wider sense, it could be said that they mob desecrated the symbol of innocence of the Kurdish nation.

Lou Dobbs Tonight
Live from Cancun
Thursday, March 30, 2006

Tonight, Lou continues his live broadcasts from Cancun, Mexico,where the leaders of North America, President Bush, Mexican President Vicente Fox and Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper, are meeting for a two-day summit. We'll bring you the latest on their meeting and examine the issues under discussion.

And we’ll have a report on the North American Free Trade
Agreement. When the NAFTA was enacted 13 years ago, proponents anticipated that the breaking down of trade barriers between the three countries would be a great boon for American business and workers. But, now more than a decade later, just the opposite is true. The United States is facing a 50 billion dollar trade deficit with Mexico. And the Untied States has lost nearly 3 million manufacturing jobs since NAFTA took effect.

*** IMPORTANT

Canada is up in arms about a new US policy that will require its citizens to carry passports to enter the United States.

Canadians claim some of their industries would be severely
impacted if the policy is implemented on January 1, 2008.
Canadian tourism to the United States has already declined due to confusion about document requirements. We'll have a report on the movement of goods and people across our borders.

Visit http://cnn.com/loudobbstonight for more on
tonight’s show.

~When I first began the fight against the illegal immigration issue I never once could have believed Dobbs would become the man to listen to, back then it was Scarborough
