Quick comments:
1) Wondering if somehow the timing of this foiled attack was coordinated between Al Queda and Iran, remember Iran has their August 22nd "day of joy" planned. While AQ and Iran hated each other in the 90's they seem to be collaberating actively these days. If we were hit this way we perhaps could not react as well if Iran made moves.
2) For those of you I argued with about Musharref who thought Musharref was an enemy not an ally or that the Bush Administration was throwing it's money away on him, you were wrong.
Musharref needed time to change his pro-AQ intelligence service slowly but surely. Imagine if in the USA our army was loyal to the POTUS but all of out intelligence services protected terrorists! Our investment in Musharref is just starting to pay dividends. The guy has had numerous assasination attempts on his life and tremendous pressure every minute of his life for trying to do the right thing for mankind and his country.
I still worry about Pakistan and what will happen when this man is gone, but for now the decision to engage him the way we did just saved us a couple of thousand lives and another half trillion dollars in money from an economy that would have sagged like it did after 9/11.
I think August 22 is there tentative date, and that they figured it would take a week for the crap to hit the fan after they exploded the airplanes.
Everyone be on high alert. Every town in USA.
Seems Homeland security is awake, revoking Visas, of even the "peacful muslinazis". Seems homeland is not comfy with any muslinazi now.
So keep eyes wide open, call Homeland if you see something even slightly suspicous. I think their plan is in gear and they have lit their fuse.
