Cavuto on Fox News just reported a letter from Al-Qaeda that states an attack on America is 90% ready.

Could be scare tactic; could be something to consider.

Does anyone know if there is one, what is the significance of the number 11 to Al Qaida?

It is Usama bin Laden's IQ. Or, maybe it's his shoe size. I forget.

Reuters: purported qaeda letter says big attack on US "90 pct" read - Al Quds paper.

Al Qaeda is the real intent of Islam.

How To Fight The War on Terrorism:

"But it's primarily an intelligence and law enforcement operation that requires cooperation around the world — the very thing this [Bush] administration is worst at...and I think this administration's arrogant and ideological policy is taking America down a more dangerous path. I will make Americans safer than they are."

-John F'n Kerry-

...the peoople of Spain and peoople throughout Europe should fear a Kerry administration as much as they now fear al-Qaida.

7:39, 7:44, 7:49, 7:54 Madrid time, 3/11/04.

Should we keep a heads up between the 5:30 and 6:00 pm east coast rush hour?

We just knew in our hearts that islamic terrorists were behind this cowardly attack. They don't have the courage to stand up and fight like men, but attack innocent men women and children.

I just went to a website that calculates intervals.I entered
9:40 am, 9/11/9001 for the WTC and
1:40 am, 3/11/2004 (EST) for the Madrid explosion.
Here's what I got:

It is 911 days, 16 hours, 0 minutes and 0 seconds between those dates.

Kerry will stop them single handedly, just like he won the Vietnam war all by himself.(/s)

I wasn't expecting the Spanish Inquisition!

I wonder if this is why Iran went running to Putin.

France had warnings of train attacks recently and halted most service until every train and track could be searched.

Heard this morning that the US had similar warnings which explains the early morning security apparent on the subway stations this week.

Bomb sniffing dogs, men with machine guns, and bio and chemical weapon detectors deployed as well.

Excerpts From The Geniuses On Democratic Underground:

"of anything that comes out of this administration or a biased paper like Haaretz. It's in their interest to pin every frickin death on earth to terrorists -- helps advance their agenda".

"Bush is partly to blame. If he didn't drop the ball on Osama and change his focus to the war in Iraq instead... then we would have had Osama and more of Al Queda by now".

"Bush is partly responsible for what happened in Spain today. His personal war distracted us from the enemy that actually was actually killing people. Al Queda".

"Can't fight terrorism when you're planning a mission to mars and worrying about steroids in major league baseball. The world would be so much better off if Gore were in the white house".

"The bush regime has made no efforts to halt any al queda actions".

"Honey, he just put terror back on page 1. Americans have been rating economy and jobs at the top and terror at the bottom. Now we can watch for the boggey man..and I'll bet that's just what will be pumped on all the news networks tonight. France went to high alert...gee, maybe we should jack it up a few. Come on. Support your President (and not those whishy washy Dems)and get yourself "scared"!! Unfortunately, I think that's how this is going to play out. He's already been strutting infront of the cameras making statements, looking real concerned and determined and all that crap".

[TomGuy]

Exaggerated, Kerry?
The Spanish in Madrid might disagree today.

>Where's the Spanish Hit Squad?

Aren't they called the Guardian of Seville? They are nothing to mess with, from what I understand.

I wish I could post photos, but it's time for Indigo Montoya.

"My name is Indigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die."

Hmm, I wonder if the UN and thier ilk will change their condemnation from the ETA to those who have now claimed responsibility...AQ.
