I know the anti-Debka folks will likely thow in their predictable 2 cents, but I still feel this is newsworthy. Lots of particulars. We shall see. (I though I hope we don't.)

Oh and by the way,I think our relationship with Pakistan has outlasted its usefulness. Time to take it them, too, IMHO.

The "thousands of US Marines" in southern Israel really enhances their credibility.

Check that, it confirms their "credibility."

Looks like we will be using Nukes on Iraq then. GW already stated that if anyone uses biological weapons on the US or any of our allies that nuclear would be the retaliation.

While I am skeptical of Debka, the naming of names and SPECIFIC LOCATIONS bolsters this.

That's my sentiment, too - skeptical, but willing to consider that there might be some truth to it. It's not like the "mainstream" news is credible beyond all question, either.

Good post - thanks...

Nothing is 100%, 100% of the time, if it we're no one
would buy it... Who is right 100% of the time?

That's why Ivory Soap has always been 99 and 44/100%
pure.

If I were running Debka I would sprinkle pure BS amongst
the gold... if nothing more to sell more subscriptions.

Well, at least we will get to keep the Middle East if they go through with this plan. Colonialization will be the end result, and the Wahabis will be forced to consume large amounts of porn, beer, and American football.

Oh, and I suppose you know for a fact that this isn't true. And I'm supposed to believe you but not them.

I don't know how much is true, but to flat-out disregard them is silly. Their record is mixed in terms of their speculative capabilities, but they have provided some insight on occasion, particularly in the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, that I find worthwhile. Please forgive me.

Debka, shmebka.

We all know Al-Quaeda's intentions toward us.

Believe whomever you like. It reflects on you.

It's remarks like Bush's regarding an attack that would cripple the economy, or George H.W. Bush comparing his son's burden to Lincoln's that really makes my hair stand on end. Or Dubya saying the nation "still has a bright future" as if he knows something that would put that in doubt.

There are definitely some aspects of our pop culture I'd rather not export, and our addiction to porn is one of them. I always said that the Taliban played it all wrong - all they needed to do, instead of issue a bunch of poorly written diatribes and fatwas, is just hold up a picture of Michael Jackson, and ask "Is this what you guys want to do to us?" The whole West would have to hang its collective head and say, "Ya know, maybe they got a point."

No, they had to kill three thousand innocent people instead. Morons.

Rather than provoke the West to confront some its more embarrasing realities, it only galvanized us. The irony here is that the Hollywood types are so ungrateful - after all it is our military that is protecting their right to unfettered hedonism and unlimited wealth. And what do they do? Visit Baghdad and vote for Democrats.

Actually, now that I think about it, maybe we should export our pop culture, every single one of them, off to the Middle East!

You know, I believe I was clear on this point, but perhaps I need to restate it. I don't know how much of what they say is true, and how much is speculation. You're remark about how they immediately rendered themselves un-credible by referring to "thousands" of US troops implied that you knew, as a matter of fact, such a statement is patently false. Either you know with a certainty that this is not true, or you are just speculating. I don't know what the answer is. But you have not persuaded me that your critique on that basis is with any merit.

Frankly, your manners reflect on you. And it is not a good reflection.

They were right about Chinese troops in Afghanistan. Didn't they also say the Chinese had 1/4 million troops in Sudan?

Yes, and don't forget about the nukes smuggled into New York or the Iraqi invasion of Jordan. I was wrong to ridicule their report about thousands of Marines in southern Israel.

I'm sorry if my manners offended you, but Debka hasn't immediately rendered itself as anything. It's been years in the making.

You wish to give them the benefit of the doubt when they make outlandish statements. I do not. Not anymore.

Please feel free to continue to do so, however.

It's been all over the news that there are at least a thousand marines in Israel.
