The 27th day of Ramadan is the day to watch. It is the day the so-called Prophet had his revelation. On that day the USS Cole was attacked.

[glock rocks]

zoink.

[arielb]

You know what this means. Yup. You got it. Federalized truck drivers

[Hillary 666]

It would have already happened. It takes the idiot diaperheads years to plan anything and we can take out entire governments in a month. It might take a little time, but we are going to show the world what happens when we unleash the (formerly-) sleeping giant. The entire middle east is going to be chastised. They will find out what it means to repent.

Another concern is that terrorists could blow up railroad tank cars filled with hazardous chemicals and kill thousands and force the evacuation of entire cities.

Here is an article that could prove you are correct about truck bombs being used by AlQaeda terrorists in the US:

Secrets of Al-Queda: Network studied Oklahoma-style bomb Foreign Affairs

THE terror organisation of Osama Bin Laden drew up plans to copy the Oklahoma City bomb, which claimed the lives of 168 people in 1995.

A do-it-yourself guide, detailing the components needed to make the bomb and written by a Bosnian recruit to Bin Laden's Al-Qaeda network, was among documents and weapons found last week in the basement of a Kabul mansion used by the terrorists.

The author of the notebook was one of 200 young militants drawn to Afghanistan for a holy war against America and its allies. They fled from Kabul on Monday night.

The bomber and his fellow fanatics from Somalia, Algeria, Bosnia, Uzbekistan, Sudan and the Dagestan region of Russia left behind 22 Milan anti-tank missiles as well as step-by-step instructions on how to lay minefields and topple skyscrapers. But it was the bomb-making manual with diagrams, mathematical equations and the initially puzzling codeword CHON that sheds most light on Bin Laden's organisation.

On one page, under the title Explosivija za Oklahomu, the owner of the notebook had scribbled formulas with inscriptions in English for TNT, ammonium nitrate and nitro-glycerine. The Oklahoma bomb was made from ammonium nitrate and fuel oil.

Thanksgiving, Nov 22th was the date G H W Bush first set foot on Arab soil for the Gulf War. It was Thanksgiving 1990.

[Freedom of Speech Wins]

What is that date?

"The 27th day of Ramadan is the day to watch. It is the day the so-called Prophet had his revelation. On that day the USS Cole was attacked."

The Cole was attacked on October 12. Subtract 27 days gives you September 15. Does Ramadan change by 2 full months in one year?

[DKNY]

When would that be?

Somebody who knows truckers better than I please help me here:

I know truckers as the ones driving their 80,000 pound rigs 85 mph in 55 zones six feet behind the bumper of anyone not fast enough to get out of their way. I glance up at them and they are (often) long-haired freaky looking dudes who look very much like they are on crystal meth. Or that they MANUFACTURE crystal meth and are hauling a shipment. When I was growing up (a hundred years ago) truckers were well known as the most responsible and courteous drivers on the road.

Anyway, I digress. Here is what I think will happen:

ONE truck bomb goes off, and every one of these truckers---average age 28 maybe? (I bring that up to say they are young and full of the spit and vinegar of youth, and they aren't exactly members of your local Beethoven Society or other genteel stuff)---will turn every truckstop into Vigilante-ville. I mean that in a good way. I mean, my guess is that these guys are kick-ass patriots who will do Charlie Daniels proud and will personally police themselves. My guess is that they will inspect their own trucks at truck stops and rest stops and will root out the perps or the trick loads.

Anyone have an opinion along that line?

[FUSSBALL]

Hey ...what about trucks carrying "DIRTY NUKES"??? SHHSHSHS But where do you think they might take them?

[rebdov]

How hard could it be to get a tanker, attach bomb, go to a bridge and detonate? Imagine hundreds at the same time.

[orlop9]

We may be on to something here...
First they went to flight school, now they're going to truck driving school. It seems to me that Osama's boys are getting their ideas on destroying America from watching Sally Struthers pitch tech school classes. Maybe the FBI should just get ol Sally to advertise a class in Nuclear Science for Muslim Extremists and its over.

[Travis McGee]

A gasoline tanker truck IS a bomb. Just drive it into an office building at 70MPH for another WTC.

[KQQL]

no way, don't you know folks, Islam is peace and I am santa claus.

[Peter W. Kessler]

I was thinking it would be something more like NBC's "Dateline..."

Are you sure about the attack date on the USS Cole? As I recall, last month, there was an anniversary memorial. I saw it on television. I believe the Cole was attacked October 12, 2000 or thereabout.

A man in Pittsburgh was arrested recently for selling permits to transport hazardous materials. I'll try to find more information on this.
