Before you invest in cell phones...
FYI:

"His annual operational budget is estimated as $125 million, which comes out of revenues from family-owned companies. His relatives are close to Saudi Crown Prince Abdullah. So as to save them and the Saudi ruler embarrassment, he has invested his stock in front companies registered in Addis Ababa, the Ethiopian capital. Most of his investments are in satellite networks and cell phone companies.

Bin Laden is the first terrorist chief to operate in global strategic terms. All his operations – and there have been no more than a dozen - are meticulously prepared and executed and always aim at damaging US superpower standing. His only regional or local targets are Saudi relations with the United States and the American infidel presence in the kingdom, which for him is anathema and profane."

Yep. I thought exactly the same thing. You can get it from the Warroom...

From FOXNEWS:

We Are Again Americans...

Last week, following a special two-hour Fox News Sunday, we were inundated with e-mails praising the Tony Snow's moving commentary. For those who may have missed it, we've transcribed his inspiring words below:

"Good and evil almost never express themselves as harshly and clearly as they did Tuesday morning. People we don't know slaughtered people we do, and they did it with contemptuous calm. Yet, even as clouds of dust and smoke rose from the rubble, even as family members tortured by hope and doubt took to the streets with pictures and pleas, even as mobs celebrated in Gaza, Cairo, and Baghdad, something shook itself sluggishly to life and that something is a sense of ourselves. Kindness flourished amid the flames: a couple carried a disabled man down 68 flights of stairs, a priest crouched to give last rites as a mighty tower collapsed, and the hand of God closed above him, a man and woman, their hope gone, held each other and leaped. A solitary candle, a flag, a tear. These are the tokens of our renewal.

The United States had a spirit before it had a name—one of faith and freedom, of ambition tempered by piety. We once were a nation of neighbors and friends, we are again today. We once were a nation of hardship-tested dreamers, we are again today. We once were a nation under God, we are again today. Our enemies attacked one nation, they will encounter another. For they underestimated us. Today in our grief and in our rage our determination and hope, we've summoned what's best and noblest in us—we are again Americans."

G-d Bless the USA
