", I have been reading that the AQ are in/heading to Afghanistan."
This is what some of us have been saying for about two weeks based on accumulated things read at FR. And some four months back in one of zmans Internet comms. he indicatd soon his work in Iraq would be done, and he would be moving on. Then he came out with a comm indicating he would probaby be moving to Europe to "protect the Muslims". Then when lots of goons where being captured in European cities, he reverted back to saying he would move on, as conditions dictacted. Then we heard a week and a half ago, he most likely was making his way to Sulaymanyah, due east of Kirkuk near the Iranian border.
So yes. Your feedback has every reason to be correct or at least hard to dispute at this point. He will not be given free reign in Iran, because he is a radical Salafist Arab. The Persian Mullahs only allowed him in and out, as it meet their plans for general chaos in Iraq. So he will be heading east to Afghanistan most likely, OR, as Southack ably wrote last week, he could have plans to set up shop in a western ME country at least on a temparory basis. Who knows.

Do you suppose the MSM had been put on notice to expect something wonderful?

I respect the guy... for a pro-dem, he's still better than any of the turds outside of FOX. But you can sense that he'll call for a pull-out should something like that plot come to fruition.

I'm often tempted to go out on my balcony and yell "Stop your outright lying, you leftist scumbg!" while he's doing his little standup.

That would be great to hear coming over a live feed! I'll keep listening... LOL!

Not-a-ping because you have already been here, seen this.

Ernie I found something....big.

And I'm sure the Russian contractors provided only the best in power generating hardware for their old buddy Saddam.

[Several ranking Defense Ministry officials have been jailed in the plot...]

I think they should have a choice between dental work with rusty pliars or a haircut with a blowtorch.

I think I found a connection to todays announcement to the kidnapping of the 50 employees of that security firm last week.

Cap Huff sniffed it out first last week by highlighting this passage from a NYTimes article.

The NYT is still using this incident as support for their agenda, but they could not help but publish some details that, if there is any truth to them, make one wonder what really is going on:

"The target of the abductions also pointed to sectarian rivalries. The gunmen stormed the company, Al Rawafid Security, in the neighborhood of Zayouna, and seized weapons, computer equipment, documents and a safe full of cash, police officials and witnesses said."

"Al Rawafid Security is owned by a relative of Sheik Ghazi al-Yawer, one of Iraq's two vice presidents and a Sunni Arab, according to a company employee who requested anonymity for fear of retribution. Many of the employees are Sunni Arabs and related to Mr. Yawer, said the employee, who was not at the office during the kidnapping."

"Many employees had also been members of Saddam Hussein's security forces, and several were high-ranking officers from the former Iraqi Army, the employee said."

"An aide to Mr. Yawer refused to comment on the incident and said the vice president was out of the country and unavailable."

Now flash forward to today with the announcing of a plot being foiled to plant 421 guards at different enterances of the Green Zone.

Ernest at the Beach linked this snippet earlier:

From the MSNBC story linked at post#59 we have this:

****************************************

The Defense Ministry was carrying out operations to capture the would-be recruits, both men said.

“Most of them were members of the same tribe and came from the same area,” Jabr said but refused to give specifics because of the ongoing operation. Neither Jabr nor the Defense Ministry official would give details on any arrests.

“The 421 were supposed to be in control of the entrances to the Green Zone and internal squares. I mean they were going to be in charge of security in the Green Zone in the future,” Jabr told AP. “They were going to carry out operations. Most of them are wanted terrorists” using false identification.

Follow up for those in Palm Beach County...

Many of the employees(security firm kidnapping) are Sunni Arabs and related to Mr. Yawer,

SAME TRIBE.

“Most of them were members of the same tribe and came from the same area,” Jabr said

From todays announcement...

Yawers tribe.......:-)

There you have it....a connection.

"Several ranking Defense Ministry officials have been jailed in the plot,"

"Wow. Time to clean house!"

Yes, and better order a whole bunch of panties for the interrogations!

They got 50 in custody....:-)

[wingman1]

You are absolutely correct. TET was a psychological defeat for the US because the Media at that time made it so.

Imagine the field day the whiners of New Orleans(MSM) would have had with the seizing of the Green Zone.

[Beckwith]

Good hit!
