US and Britain to strike terror camps within days

I think their plan -- idiotic and laughable though it may be -- is to flood us with heroin so we all get high and decide they should be left alone.

Well, I sorta doubt they are really that naive. Any movement of heroin stores is likely by the drug lords in order to save their inventory -- it has nothing to do with destabilising anyone. Any other product would be treated the same way -- try to ship it to safe harbor.

The well-informed, deeply researching author of this article refers to C-130 Spectre's as Puff the Magic Dragons, with cannons in their bellies. I think the folks who flew C-47s might have something to say about the two extra engines added to their gunships.

I would discount this article entirely. It is apparently NOT written by anyone close to being a military authority.

"This can't be true,"

Yea and I remember just a few days ago the administration swore that there would not be such an attack. The only thing we can count on right now is dis-information. I would rather they just keep silent then to flood us with conflicting story's. It gets hard to trust those who keep lying to you. Don't count the national ID card out just yet.

You forgot "alleged terror camps".....

This was leaked for a reason. We do it all the time as part of strategy.

Perhaps you could tell us what national security position you hold at the present time.

We have tens of thousands of Freepers combing the net for articles. They find military related articles and colate them here in one place. I do not want our forum to become a CIA type gleaning system for terrorists. If they wish to comb the internet, let them put their tens of thousands of people to work.

Stop supporting the desimination of military information. If the government wants to propagandize, let them handle it.

I caught that, and was confused for a moment – because the AC-130 is also know as Spooky II.

You are correct. I could say a lot about the drug issue in general, but have imposed a ban on myself until this is over. That aside, these Taliban guys aren't that smart. One wonders whether they control their territory or Mr. bin Laden does.

Ah, they do this through leaks like the above article. I've also read that attacks won't occur for weeks. Keeps everyone off balance.

Give me a break – there are no specific targets being announced here; no specific troop movements; just another, of the many “Hey Osama, we are coming, look behind you!”

Anyways if you think that Osama’s gang has forgotten that our President himself said, in front of the entire world, that we would hunt down our enemy, and I’m the one that is reminding him – your just being silly.

Sorry – but it was your accusation that I support the dissemination of military information to our enemy that got to me.

Or October 2 at 1 p.m. ?????? Or October 22 at 11 p.m.??? I say, keep 'em guessing!!!!!

[DoughtyOne]

Devastating attacks on bases controlled by Osama bin Laden are set to be launched in the next 48 hours as part of a tightly focused military operation approved by
US President George Bush and backed by Britain.

So you feel this isn't of military significance?  Look Eric, we have no need to know this.  We have no need to know exact troops movements or time tables.  For us to speculate about the validity of information and post it here to make it look like we're really important because we can colate all the data is simple self serving.  To error on the side of our troops safety makes more sense than erroring on the side of prividing as much information as possible to our enemies.

There is no reason for us to post this and plenty of reasons not to.
