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.

"Only you can prevent forest fires".

Was a good ad campaign and used for a lot of years.

I only hope that " Only you can take care of you", works as
well.

or

"Daddy Gov is in trouble, he is finding bombers, how would it be if YOU fed your own family for a while"...

Lets be clear here, I know that Piper is prepared and therefore the "YOU", is not Piper, but it may be YOU.

Per bin Drinkin: "What's here is there and what is there is here..." to paraphrase.

Note the bomb threats on the French railroads and then they get Spain instead. Quite a misdirection.

It is a long post....but a worthy one. We have our own well and if the power goes...so does our water. Therefore, we have a generator and stored gas, as well. Here in South Dakota, we have often lost power because of blizzards taking down the power lines. When that happens, we can't make the 20 mile trip to town, either. So, we stay prepared....all the time.

Living in the country teaches wonderful lessons in self-reliance.

Thanks for your contributions. You have added alot to this thread.

sleeper cells established by Al Qaida-aligned groups helped designate the targets and provide logistics and safe haven for operatives who detonated 10 backpack bombs aboard commuter trains in Madrid on Thursday.

Sleeper cells are already here. It's a known fact. Tick, tick, tick, tick, tick.........

``There is no specific information I have available from which anyone can draw a conclusion'' as to the identity of those responsible for the Madrid attacks, Ridge said. ``It will need a strengthened resolve'' to deal with terrorists.

I thank you for thinking of me, but alas, my profile page "It's personal" link is my primary rant on Afghanistan.
