THE NEXT ATTACKS WILL CAUSE AMERICA 'TO LOSE CONTROL OF ITSELF

Don't you hate national incontinence?

[B-Chan]

A SOURCE CLOSE TO AL-QA'IDA SAID THAT 'THE HOLY WARRIORS HAVE COMPLETED THE PREPARATORY STAGE AND STARTED THE COUNTDOWN FOR THE EXECUTION OF AN ATTACK INSIDE THE UNITED STATES.'

Somebody warn Omar the Tentmaker that he'd better make that first shot count. The Japanese can tell them: Uncle Sam's payback is a real bitch.

THE SOURCE CLAIMED THAT THE NEXT ATTACKS WILL CAUSE AMERICA 'TO LOSE CONTROL OF ITSELF AND THE ABILITY TO COMMUNICATE WITH ITS ARMY.'

Hmm. this brings to mind a nuclear detonation — not on the surface, but in space. An atomic explosion of a certain strength at a certain altitude could very easily fry every comminications, weather, and navigational satellite in orbit — not to mention the EMP effects it could cause on Earth. It's a possibility we should consider seriously.

Well, la-di-FREAKIN-da!

Come and take it, zombies!

While the validity of the source MEMRI is quoting is questionable of course, however, one should not question MEMRI, which is a respectable organization.

Another headline from the MEMRI ticker

http://www.memri.org/ticker.html

A TURKISH MEMBER OF THE 'FRONT OF MUJAHIDEEN FOR ISLAMIC MIDDLE EAST' SAID THE TERRORIST ACTS IN ISTANBUL WERE 'TRIVIAL' COMPARED WITH THE REAL 'DAY OF SLAUGHTERING' WHICH IS FORTHCOMING. (AL-SHARQ AL-AWSAT, LONDON, 12/1/03)

[piasa]

An earlier reprot from Al-Awsat from back in March 2002 :

Islamist Sources: 400 Arab-Afghans Reached Northern Iraq
The Middle East Research Institute | 3/06/02 | Unknown

Al-Sharq Al-Awsat reported that "Sources close to the [Islamist] fundamentalist movement in London said that 400 'Arab-Afghans' crossed the Iranian and Turkish borders into Iraq ten days ago [third week in February]. These informed sources told Al-Sharq Al-Awsat in a phone conversation, that the 'Arab-Afghans'… may participate in suicide missions against the American forces when the land war starts and that some Al-Qa'ida leaders were among those who arrived in northern Iraq…"

(My note : These were Zarqawi's buddies. Many of them got aced when the US invaded in 2003 and took out their camp- they weren't Afghan, thouigh, they were just Arabs and some Pakistanis for the most part.)

[Sofa King]

These warnings seem to be of the "boy who cried wolf" kind. Al-Queda is trying to make us insensitive to terror threats by constantly issuing them so that when we see the warning signs of the real attack we won't be paying attention anymore.

[zook]

They've stocked up on toilet paper and bars of Ivory Soap. Better keep an eye on your house at night!

Prairie to the Islamic terrorist extremist pigs:

"Take your best shot, you a$$wipes."

Prairie

[prairiebreeze]

And FWIW, the terror alert level hasn't been raised. Still at yellow, just as it's been for quite a while. If it's raised, I'll be more concerned. Until then, *shrug*.

I am so glad they posted this warning, this reminds me of an urgent matter.

I need another cup of coffee, back later

[Redleg Duke]

In a couple of weeks, I will have my reloading bench setup in my new home and open for "business".

Talk about great timing!

[Trident/Delta]

Prognostication time...

I'll bet that they will target big media like CNN etc... It is really thought that we communicate with the troops via the media.

When I was recently in Riyadh, I ws amazed at the sheer number of arabs that watched CNN international as the "Bible" of world events. IF I were a betting man (I would be living in Vegas) which I am not, I would bet heavily on something that has the media attached to it. That would give them (musli) instant validation in their efforts. CNN tower in Atlanta is a VERY attractive target, as is Rockefeller center in NY where all the networks have thier programs in front of windows and such. Just a hunch.

Perhaps this is a homeland security disinformation campaign to get U.S. Muslims to leave.

[GRRRRR]

Blah, blah blah....yadda yadda...tha's all you got?

Bring it on..."W"

I'm on my way to get more ammo...never have enough .270 lying around...

GRRRRR

[ChefKeith]

There is NO WAY the ragheads could shut down Milstar. I have seen info on it and know people that installed the ground units all over the world. Then there are the handheld units that even if the ground base units got wiped out the Sats are still in orbit to relay signals.

[BJungNan]

This can't be true. If there was such a threat, surely Bush and Ridge would do something about our wide open borders and the thousands coming in everyday.

John Loftus reporting on this now on B&A:

the target is Centcom in Qatar according to his sources.
