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.

However, if the river was ice covered and you dropped your equipment while at the bottom, it would be a pretty hard bang on the head when you got to the ice. A wet suit is VERY buoyant.

I don't know about Cell Structures, could be.

There has never been a long period in my life, that I didn't have chicken wire and still do, not that I plan on chickens.

I think that we now know what the chicken wire is, it was the fence in Hawaii, see Cindy's post #3188.

The frogman in the picture, we have 2 spotted in the Hawaii, who disappeared and 2 in the U.S. dead.

The wire fence was to keep in rare ducks as I recall, I was half asleep when I read the article.

Hmmmmm. According to Sean's site, the Hudson was frozen (except for deep shipping lanes.) The only other nonfrozen area was near the reactor.

From SOL's post # 3181:

The clues are in the fact that both the Hudson and Dania Beach dead divers were found without their tanks and gear or weight belts. Cause of death remains a mystery as is their reasons for diving where they were. No unattended boats or other means of private conveyance have been found.

I'm not sure where Sean got that info, his own investigations possibly? I seem to remember him stating somewhere he had been at both sites.

The picture you are referring to also shows, in the context of all the carnage- a healthy looking bird in flight.

I ran it through Tarjim/Ajeeb ---> A martyrdom message from OBL???

Here is a copy of the translation that I got...

How can this be?

There is only love and shining light of peace in russia, after all Reagan took down the Berlin Wall and set them free.

(ruth being sarcastic)

What she really means is:

Coming to your town, not later than June 1st, 2005, if kerry is elected.

I never forget that when the wall was falling, I was told that communism would not die, that it would rest and then come back, that the falling wall was part of the master plan.....

This by a not-American born, client, who knew what was happening in the world.

I know nothing about water intakes in these areas :(

Did they specify any species aside from canis/dog was suseptible to canine parvo uveitis ?

[swarthyguy]

Sounds dejected. Was posted here a day or two ago, and certainly sounded like the heat's on him, hard.

If the tank was stolen from the other side of the world, it would never make the stolen lists in the U.S. and there is a lot of theft from the military bases.

Could it be there were 2 divers and one took off with the tank and belt, after the other went too deep and died?

I read a report last night on diving, the first diver went too deep, got in trouble and when he came up to his partner's level, the partner attempted to bring him up and talked of throwing off belt and tanks, to get to the top.

It was from a training site and I didn't keep the address.

ROFLMAO!!!

The more I read this, the more it sounds like someone's idea of a sick joke. Either that or the translation is of extremely poor quality.

"the economic nervous system......"

Good grief...that's not bio...that's about an attack on the banking/monetary system...probably through a computer virus programed to act sequentially after the incubation period is over!!!!!

[nw_arizona_granny]

Any chance that this is the stolen plane from last year, the one with the pilot named Padilla???

Notice that the top article is very clear in the statement of "NOT REGISTERED NOW".......

Wonder when it got UN-registered?

[Domestic Church]

"the economic nervous system......"

Good grief...that's not just bio...that's about an attack on the banking/monetary system...probably through a computer virus programed to act sequentially after the incubation period is over!!!!! Look forcash and coinage to actually be a vector as well.

[Velveeta]

ROFL! Do I have this right? Osama is going to retire in New Jersey and become a street vendor?

(OK, I've got to go give that a closer look)

Freeperfromnj: If your fruit vendor "reappears" PLEASE take pictures!!!

"It is unclear how this virus has spread so quickly, Schmidt said."


Money? Paycheck stubs? Aerosol in a mess hall?

[Domestic Church]

I wonder what the raptor population is like up in the area of those dead elk....they have a good range to spread something...I'm guessing golden eagles and peregrine falcons.

If the tank was stolen from the other side of the world, it would never make the stolen lists in the U.S. and there is a lot of theft from the military bases.

The point I was trying to make with the numbers is that the tanks would be easy to trace if found on the diver, giving them reason to ditch tanks, not necessarily that they would be on a stolen list, though that's a good thought.

Could it be there were 2 divers and one took off with the tank and belt, after the other went too deep and died?

A second diver carrying equip away is a possibility.

The trouble you get in from going too deep is nitrogen narcosis.

This usually doesn't become a factor until you hit depths of 100 ft. or more.

I'm not sure exactly, but I don't think there are very many 100 ft deep rivers, even in channels that are dredged for shipping.

IMHO, hypothermia or banging his head on the ice would be more likely causes of death with the Hudson river diver.
