Could this have been the August 22 apocalypse of the Iranian madman-in-chief?

JMHO: Given the Paki connection to this, I would guess the communications, planning, money, and final go-ahead came from some spider-hole in the hinterlands of the so-called 'Tribal Areas' along the Afghan border to al Qaeda operatives in Peshwar, Karachi or Islamabad, maybe from Osama himself.

I just this little tidbit could be removed from the wires. Is it really necessary that us folks know this info? If we know it, they know it. I really hate the media.

My understanding is that Iran and Al-Qaeda, at least in the past, were not linked.

On the other hand, it is Hezbollah, that allegedly has agents here in the states. So it could very well be that this and whatever is slated for the 22nd is unrelated. Which is scarier to contemplate, since now there are two organizations to worry about.

At this time I would release a whole lot of information, and a little disinformation.

The public needs to be educated to the actual dangers and the threats we face, both here and abroad.

Otherwise, the public will vote us out and, in our place put the democratic party in power. Presently the democratic party is on the payroll of the terrorists. Just my opinion. I would guess that many democratic senators and representatives are being paid by the terrorists, directly or indirectly.

Say what you want about Mushariff, but he's been helping us greatly since 9-11. May he stay safe and keep up the good fight.

I agree. We don't have a 'need to know' and it doesn't help our allies, either

Uh...You think maybe they're linked by Islam?

Maybe these guys all had their differences in the past, but they're ALL at war with us.

>>>Could this have been the August 22 apocalypse of the Iranian madman-in-chief?>>>

This is what I'm wondering and I get giddy thinking of the brave men and women in the UK foiling this plot.

But I also get paranoid thinking this is a distraction to the REAL thing.

Let's hope so. And let's hope it't the end of said plan.

I suspect there are more than 2.

Didn't Iran just "release" Bin Laden's son and send him to Syria/Lebanon to help the Hezbos? There may be more linkage than we thought.
