February 24, 2004 -- WASHINGTON - The Pentagon has dispatched the elite commando force that hunted down Saddam Hussein to Afghanistan for a new operation aimed at getting Osama bin Laden, officials said yesterday. Military sources confirmed that members of the shadowy Task Force 121, the unit that conducted the high-tech search for Saddam and his henchmen, have recently begun operating in the remote mountainous region along the Afghanistan-Pakistan border where bin Laden and key al Qaeda and Taliban fugitives are believed to be hiding. The Task Force is made up of highly trained Delta and SEAL commandos, as well as CIA paramilitary operators. It operates outside normal military channels.

Make sure your tanks are full and fill-up extra containers (e.g. gas containers that you would use for lawn tractor).

We can't forget to mention the North Korea nuclear program talks....considering the timing of the war games and other odd news.
China: North Korea Talks Encounter 'differences, Difficulties and Contradictions'
By Ted Anthony Associated Press Writer
Published: Feb 27, 2004
BEIJING (AP) - The six-nation talks over North Korea's nuclear program have encountered "differences, difficulties and contradictions," and will continue as long as necessary, China's government said Friday. But it also said the divide was "gradually narrowing."
As China said the talks would continue Saturday, its chief negotiator, Vice Foreign Minister Wang Yi, said it was "necessary to continue the process."
He acknowledged there were "differences, difficulties and contradictions." But Chinese spokesman Liu Jianchao, at a briefing after the third day of talks concluded, also struck an upbeat note.
"Common ground is growing between the different parties," Liu said. "Gaps between the various parties are gradually narrowing. But it is still an objective fact that there are differences."
The United States promised earlier Friday to stay until the end of six-country talks on North Korea's nuclear weapons development, even without concrete signs yet that Pyongyang would meet Washington's demands to completely dismantle its program.

You said it. The timing is unnerving.
To: Velveeta
Timing is VERY unnerving...and more so since The Passion of the Christ has just come out and is such a blockbuster. Could it be a bunch of signs all at once?

Could it be that GWB signed this Proclamatian regarding Cuba today, because there is a threat by Al Queada to get their Islamic brothers from Guantanamo? Maybe these "confidential" calls that were made by the Saudi prisoners, uncovered an Al Queada plot. Funny you said that. I had the same thought yesterday. I was googling for qaeda and the number 100. Found out that Guantanamo was made to hold 100 prisoners.

No problems connecting. But after trying to view something there I now get a blank page for her site. This happened once before there. I am not sure what corrects that. Rebooting or clearing web cache.
