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.

If we take the responsibility of fighting the enemy in our region, and the muslims in the UK take their responsibility in their region, and the muslims in the US take their responsibility in their country, then our brothers in Irak and Afghanistan wil be able to get the power, and spread the Islam and justice in the world. We have started to make ready wat we can to terrorise the enemy of Allah in our region, like Allah has orderd us in the quran: Against them make ready your strength to the utmost of your power, including steeds of war, to strike terror into (the hearts of) the enemies, of Allah and your enemies, and others besides, whom ye may not know, but whom Allah doth know. Whatever ye shall spend in the cause of Allah, shall be repaid unto you, and ye shall not be treated unjustly. (quran: Anfal(8) vers 60)
Gee Cindy, this entire plea for help sounds as if they are fully aware that they are losing.
Its only been a few months when they were telling Muslims to leave town. To get out while the getting was good. I wonder if anyone other than Islamic murderers are really listening to these murderous leaders.

Nothing is as enjoyable in the winter as having a nice snowstorm! We are skiiers, there is nothing like Colorado or Tahoe in the spring with a nice winters base of snow! My children are still waiting for ours. My husband is in Myrtle Beach, SC for golf trip....he has cold and rain. Areas in North and South Carolina had 17" of snow yesterday. I have 55 degrees and sun, with forcast for the week-end of 60+. Have a great week-end!

They are so fearful of the power of democracy and elections in Iraq. The time for Iraq and the Iraqi people to know their own government and prosperity is near, so the acts of Al Quaeda are becoming more desperate. Allah is their excuse for murdering and maiming their own people; in the name of furthering their murderous religion of hate.

http://www.aim.org/publications/media_monitor/2002/02/20.html Is North Korea a Terrorist State?
By Reed Irvine and Cliff Kincaid
February 20, 2002
In a Washington Times column, its editor-at-large Arnaud DeBorchgrave criticized President Bushs depiction of North Korea as evil. He claimed that, "North Korea hasnt engaged in terrorism in several years and the glacier between North and South Korea continues to melt perceptibly. To call Pyongyang evil at this juncture can only jeopardize South Koreas diplomatic efforts." In a follow-up story by David Sands, the Washington Times said that, "Mr. Bushs Axis of evil remark also did not play well in many foreign press accounts. The London Independent, in one typical remark among Europes mostly leftist press, called the presidents speech distinctly disturbing." Its not clear why the views of European leftists were so newsworthy.
In the report entitled, "Patterns of Global Terrorism 1999," submitted to the U.S. Congress in April 2000, the State Department said North Korea "maintains links" to Osama bin Laden and his network. The report also alleges that the North still harbors some of the hijackers of a Japan Airlines plane in 1970.
The report explained that North Korea "continued to provide safe haven to the Japanese Communist League-Red Army Faction members who participated in the hijacking of a Japanese Airlines flight to North Korea in 1970
In 1999 [North Korea] also attempted to kidnap in Thailand a North Korean diplomat who had defected the day before. The attempt led the North Korean Embassy to hold the former diplomats son hostage for two weeks. Some evidence also suggests [that North Korea] in 1999 may have sold weapons directly or indirectly to terrorist groups."
The most recent State Department report on terrorism adds, "Some evidence also suggests [North Korea] may have sold weapons directly or indirectly to terrorist groups during the year; Philippine officials publicly declared that the Moro Islamic Liberation Front had purchased weapons from North Korea with funds provided by Middle East sources." Our troops are now on the ground in the Philippines battling these terrorists.
John Bolton, Undersecretary of State for arms control, said at a recent international conference that, "We are concerned that (bin Laden) could have been trying to acquire a rudimentary biological weapons capability possibly with support from a state." He said that Libya, Syria, Iran and Sudan as well as North Korea have germ weapons programs.
Balbina Hwang of the Heritage Foundation noted that North Korea has been included on the list of states that sponsor terrorism since 1988, after North Korean agents blew up a South Korean airliner, killing 115 civilians. She said North Korea could begin to demonstrate its opposition to terrorism by deporting those Japanese Red Army hijackers. She said North Korea should negotiate a permanent peace treaty, reduce its conventional military forces along the demilitarized zone and its weapons of mass destruction, and return the remains of U.S. military personnel missing in action during the Korean War. Clearly, North Korea deserves membership in the axis of evil. Its troubling to see a conservative newspaper whitewash this communist regime.

Did Pak, N Korea conduct joint N-tests?
http://www1.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/articleshow/525092.cms WASHINGTON: The revelations about the international nuclear trading of the Pakistani scientist AQ Khan have rekindled a debate inside the American intelligence community over an unresolved but crucial strategic question from the last decade: did Pakistan conduct a secret nuclear weapons test in partnership with North Korea?
Startling clues were detected after underground tests that Pakistan carried out in May 1998, when it proved to the world that its own efforts to build nuclear weapons had succeeded. According to former and current American intelligence officials, an American military jet sent to sample the air after the final test in the wastelands of the Baluchistan desert picked up traces of plutonium.
That surprised experts at the Los Alamos national laboratory, because Pakistan said openly that all of its bombs were fuelled by highly enriched uranium, produced at Dr AQ Khans nuclear laboratories.
Among the possible explanations hotly debated after the tests was that North Korea perhaps in return for the help from Dr Khan might have given Pakistan some of its precious supply of plutonium to conduct a joint test of an atomic weapon.
****Seems like the US was constantly being surprised during the 90's.
Safe to say the Pakistanis seem to have run rings around Uncle Sam.

Nothingman, I don't know if you ever saw this thread:

These were actually very disturbing on how some of our men had personal affects taken, POWs brainwashed, and some have been harrassed since.
Worth a read.

Re: Keyless encounters..."
At least some Ford and General Motors keyless entry systems use the same radio spectrum bands that are used in military operations, according to the Web site of the U.S. Commerce Department's National Telecommunications and Information Administration
This isextremely interesting- could provide a valuable clue.
AQ seems to enjoy using our own systems/planes/etc. against us.

Hi JG!
This morning I was mulling over the Cuba situation (detainees and their phone calls back to SA) along with the US 3 strike force military operation mentioned on the thread.
The visionary, Esperanza, still hasn't left NY according to spiritdaily.com and is residing somewhere on the ocean front saying we will still get a "lash". She has been accurate in the past and has specifically mentioned Cuba being a danger to NYC.

That is the way it looks to me, as well.
