I stopped watching FOX about 8:15 PDT. They had the message on the marque crawl - NY DC Boston - the message apparently intercepted indicated that all Muslims should leave those areas by tomorrow.

That's all it said.

Wow. Think their mayors will get counsel from Daley and destroy all their downtown airports tonight?

Oh wonderful </sarcasm>. We're visiting DC in a couple of weeks but until then we're surrounded by the best beaches in the country.

"Chicago Ping! "

(...blood draining from face...) My eight year old is going on a field trip downtown for a skyline boat tour. Entire third grade. Thanks in advance for any prayers.

That's to be expected. It's not like the govt. is going to give away the game plan just because some dickweed leaked a memo to ABC for a few bucks.

Bingo! As annoying as it may be having to do so, being able to read between the lines when politicians speak, is an asset that can be VERY useful!

The angels will watch over him! I do not 'feel' it is chicago in that way, if at all right now. My concern has been the West Coast, with the easy entries.

I agree - because terror is sometimes just the threat - and not the actual act.

Another Freeper posted this website: Arabic language message board.

Here are excerpts from posts off that message board, in chronological order. I have added the bold for emphasis.

Thread title:

* an urgent is a killing hit danger against America a next to the Allah wanted - during 48 hour * *

To Bush and to the American intelligences and from and the concern from the hypocrites¡¡¡ the next hit to the Allah during 48 wanted the next hour¡¡¡¡ and to the Allah wanted that will convulse your heart¡¡¡¡¡ and beg from all of the Moslem of the remoteness about the main cities in the United States and Nioriork specially¡¡¡ Washington¡¡¡ and about the commercial beaches and the Allah know .

My interpretation: A terrorist strike is planned in the next 48 hours. Moslems are encouraged to leave the major US cities, especially New York, Washington, and the commercial beaches.

No postponement

My interpretation: The strikes have not been postponed, and are to continue on schedule.

Remainder 24 hour

My interpretation: The strikes are now within 24 hours and/or have been moved up a day (from 48 hours to 24 hours).

The figures hideaway and her secret we know her to the Allah and the iodine of her knowledge wanted these

My interpretation: Iodine is given to patients suffering from radiation poisoning.

A note : he to each Moslem avoided the American existence areas from the complexes inside and outside the countries Alslamia and especially in America.

My interpretation: Moslems are encouraged to avoid areas where Americans concentrate, both in Saudia Arabia and America... "the complexes" = Western compounds in Saudia Arabia and/or apartment complexes in the US.

A possible is a perfume we perish to the commercial markets in Riyadh City

My interpretation: Distribution of some chem/bio contaminant via a commercial distribution method... such as purfume spritzers in commercial markets, shopping malls, etc.

Your interpretations may vary. :-)

CORRECTION:

In my previous post, I misinterpreted the 48-hours vs. 24-hours issue...

On the website where these posts are made, the "48 hour" post was made on May 19. The "24 hours remaining" post was made on May 20.

I misinterpreted it because I failed to realize they were posted on subsequent days. So, if this is a signal, then it indicates that the attack is still on schedule, as indicated by the "no postponement" post, followed by the "remainder 24 hour" post (both made on May 20).

Hoping I'm wrong... but if not... then Wednesday the 21st is the day. Keep alert, and stay safe!

Good Evening All-

"Bring it on, Muhammed! America double-dog-dares-ya'!"

Wait until you sandpunks see what President Bush, Vice President Cheney, and the United States Armed Forces have it store for you next...should you decide to tango with an increasingly short-tempered United States.

Don't give in to irrational fear, it's what they want.

I read elsewhere that the FBI alert included some statement that "radiological, biological or chemical weapons can't be discounted". There are lots of nice beaches all along CA...

Yep...and I live right by the beach here. So, if al Qaeda lets loose a biological/radiological/chemical attack on the Los Angeles area from the sea...well, been nice knowin' you folks and all that...

Of course, if al Qaeda tries to make some sort of landing on our shores, I'll be more than happy to show them some good old-fashioned genuine Yankee hospitality by meeting them at the shore with my guns. ;)

"Howdy Osama...you're gonna look real good on the trophy wall in mah den." *BOOM* "Don't run!" *BOOM* "DON'T RUN!" *BOOM*BOOM*

Amen to that. I think Han Solo said it best:

"Bring 'em on. I prefer a fight to all this sneakin' around."

Cheers!
