From the article at Drudge: Location is everything, particularly when trying to witness celestial events. The entire transit will be visible in Europe, most of Africa, the Mideast and most of Asia. The unlucky regions of the globe where the event occurs at night, and is unviewable, include western North America, including most of the United States west of the Rockies; southern Chile and Argentina; Hawaii; and New Zealand.

If the planet in the Osama pix is Venus would that be the signal for a attack in Britain or Europe since this event will be visible there (attack on around June 8th)? Didn't one of the islamic rants say there would be an attack in Britain before the next big one in the U.S.?

thecabal, when you get home let us know if you think it is in fact Venus in the osama pix. I'm sorry I didn't save that one. Thanks.

Well, I did some searching on Google Image search for "venus radar" (seemed like the most likely choice since Venus is covered with a thick cloud layer; visible light would not give the kind of picture we have seen). The results are interesting and somewhat similar, but not close enough for me to be convinced we are talking about the same celestial body. I call this one inconclusive for now. Anyone have a good link to the OBL/Mushroom Cloud/Nuke pic?

You are right, as well. UK-then US...

On a trucking site- about 35 tankers have been stolen, across the US.
