We're ready. The SAS, the Ghurkas, MI6, the RAF, Royal Navy and British Army are ready. In the words of a great American hero and patriot, "Let's Roll".

Best Regards, Ivan

Today is Trinity Sunday. Centuries ago words were written to be a call and a spur to the faithful servants of Truth and Justice: "Arm yourselves, and be ye men of valour, and be in readiness for the conflict; for it is better for us to perish in battle than to look upon the outrage of our nation and our altar. As the Will of God is in Heaven, even so let it be." - Winston Churchill, 1940

This then, my lords and gentlemen, is the message which we send forth today to all states and nations, bound or free, to all the men in all the lands who care for freedom's cause. To our Allies and well-wishers in Europe, to our American friends and helpers drawing ever closer in their might across the ocean, this is the message-lift up your hearts, all will come right. Out of depths of sorrow and sacrifice will be born again the glory of mankind. - Winston Churchill, 1941




LET US GO FORWARD TOGETHER

LOL...I will hold my tounge then on the Reno thing. But I hit the nail on the head though on the terrorist attacks. Very scary when it happened too. Called it for the week after Labor Day.Either an embassy or on actual North American soil. But from those in the know that I am related to...10 yrs is the magic number going right now.The fire power that is going to be used is going to be jaw dropping.

Here is my modest proposal:

General Crook the indian fighter said:

"Hunting Apaches with the US Army is like hunting deer with a brass band." It will be a TERRIBLE MISTAKE to tie US prestige to the rapid capture of Osama.

The FBI has not captured Eric Rudolph in several years, hiding in the 4,000 foot Appalachians a few hundred miles from FBI HQ.

Osama has had YEARS and millions of dollars to plan his evasion in the 18,000 foot high Hindu Kush. He is not stupid, and will journey off with 3 or 4 of his most 100% trusted bodyguards while we chase doubles and decoy vehicle convoys sending out decoy electronic signals. Count on it.

If we make "The Hunt For Osama" our BIG SHOW and can't produce him, we will be a laughingstock, and Osama the superstar Islamic Robin Hood.

Don't forget how hard moving targets are to hit: during the Gulf War, we never took out a loaded mobile SCUD launcher, and the Iraqis were still firing mobile SCUDs on the last day of the war. Osama is much smaller than a SCUD and launcher, and the Hindu Kush is a million times better "hiding ground" than the flat Iraqi deserts.

A far better tactic is to reconfigure as many of our very best specops units as possible into "hunter killer teams" ASAP. Use the Israeli Mossad's worldwide pursuit of the 1972 Munich Olympics terrorists as the model writ large.

The SAS, Delta and many SEAL units will be capable of this job, working along with the "Christians In Action". Put them in civvies with long hair and civilian cover, and let them loose. Let them track down and kill anyone even peripherally involved with any named terrorist units, worldwide, any time they can be gotten. No trial, no arrest, just .22LR or 7.62mm justice meted out on the streets of Copenhagen, Rome, or Manila.

In one year, anyone even supsected of terrorist ties will be dead or too afraid to come out of hiding.

In Arab nations where our people cannot keep sufficient cover for action to operate effectively, hire local mercenaries to do the killing.

Yes, I am proposing a "dirty war" response. A world wide "Phoenix Program".

But it is the only method which will work.

Sending the Green Berets hiking up and down the Hindu Kush looking for Osama will just be "hunting deer with a brass band".

Well as it says above Loose lips etc...but there is a signal time to strike on certain things and lets just say that the first ones will come in that window.The long range plan for this that they are working on is amazing.Blair and Bush are really going to look brilliant and his ratings will be at a solid 70% if all goes as planned.Keep the word "SUSTAINED" handy.You will be hearing a lot of it soon.If the economy gets back on track just by 30% better than it is right now and keeps that way Bush is a lock in '04.

I'm not familiar with this one ... but is the Daily Telegraph a British tabloid?
