KHOBAR, Saudi Arabia - Tens of American, European and other hostages were released Sunday and a gunman believed to be the lead Islamic militant holding them was arrested, a Saudi security official said, adding that two other gunmen were "in the process of being arrested."

We are the "Stotters" who make ourselves aware of the enemy who wishes to do us harm

Bush Late?, Say it ain't so "W"!

Check http://www.spaceweather.com

They have a list of PHA's (potentially hazardous asteroids) about 2/3 down the front page.

Click on 1998 SF36, which on June 26th will be five lunar distances from earth. This is a pretty big rock and will pass very close to us (astronomically speaking). I think people may be speculating that there are clouds of smaller debris surrounding these big rocks, so we may get hit by smaller rocks even though we don't get broadsided by the bigger one.

That's the closest of anything I know of until sometime in September. Then there is a very strange asteroid that will actually ride along beside us for a while, kind of like 2 horses in a race.

I think we are in the clear on the comets. It looks like LINEAR has already passed beyond earth.

I think LINEAR came from the south and was only visible in the southern hemisphere.

This is odd:

AT&T will be going some work on our external routers and we'll be offline Tuesday, June 8, from Midnight to 6:00 a.m.

With all the talk about the 8th, this really caught my attention.

Yes, Granny and I did a lot of digging when Kitty Hawk was mentioned, especially because we had to look at the possibility that it meant Kitty Hawk, NC and not the aircraft carrier.

IIRC, Kitty Hawk, NC is only about 75 or 80 miles from Norfolk/Hampton Crossroads. And I think we all know the significance of THAT area.

[liberallyconservative]

Awesome job! Glad they finally got back with you on this.

I just checked and here is the update.....Fleas...causing rashes and blisters..?? I have never been bitten by fleas, so maybe this is the common reaction....

Officials: Fleas Force Camden City Hall Evacuation (New Jersey)

POSTED: 3:34 pm EDT June 4, 2004 UPDATED: 4:42 pm EDT June 4, 2004

Camden City Hall and a nearby office building were evacuated Friday afternoon after four people were found with rashes and blisters on their bodies.

After an investigation by fire officials, a spokesman said the bumps were likely caused by insects unleashed after a possible infestation.

About 100 people were evacuated outside the City Hall and the Parcade Building, which houses state officials and a daycare center. The four people underwent a decontamination procedure called "gross decon," where they were washed down by hazmat crews and placed in yellow hazmat suits. Shortly after that procedure, the spokesman said fire officials believed the people were reacting to a possible flea infestation.

Officials said the buildings were examined for any toxic or hazardous substances, which were not found on the premises. Hazardous materials crews had arrived on the scene shortly after the people became ill at 3 p.m. The apparent victims were security guards at City Hall.

Maybe the white house got that merry think tank of geologists and physicists that have predicted a quake by September to expand their statistics.

Maybe they even have figured out what is the Chinese weaponry in the "assassin mallet" (or what ever it was called.)

I can't answer your questions. I wish I could. There is so much smoke & mirror scenery. We just know the other shoe is about to drop. It does make sense to have the ships out just as a simple precaution and it may simply be that... A good defense is best offense etc. Watch the wildlife for clues from mother nature.

Fleas - easy to transport and release.

Yes, they could cause reactions, I do to some insects.

Don't forget the fancy disease, caused by the sand fleas to our military in Iraq.

Commie protesters in South America are using small packages of fire ants to throw at the horses the police are riding.

Isn't it Bubonic Plague that is caused by fleas?

Remember the Prairie Dogs got contaminated a year or so ago.

And it is too hot to even think, or I might be able to list more.

Great info. AZ Granny, thanks for the quick follow-up. Wonder if there could be more "flea" problems to come. Maybe just and innocent case of infestation....

[milkncookies]

"Watch the wildlife for clues from mother nature."

Very good suggestion.

[texasbluebell]

The new security challenges in Iraq have added to the global stockpile of MANPADS available on the black and gray markets, the GAO said. “According to intelligence sources, thousands of MANPADS may have been provided to Iraqi security forces or were stolen during hostilities in Iraq immediately following the collapse of the Saddam Hussein regime in 2003,” notes the report.

Not to mention prior to 2003. Think TWA 800, and flight 587, and who knows how many others that have been explained away otherwise.

"The four people underwent a decontamination procedure called "gross decon," where they were washed down by hazmat crews and placed in yellow hazmat suits."....

Imagine the cost of this whole procedure!!!

My husband said the guy must have some kind of wife (and that's a compliment) to have all that equipment.

(I have a thing about wires running all over the place. Ditto with antennaes.)

[texasbluebell]

Good for you.

Pretty sad though that so many of our own citizens are contributing to the forces trying to destroy this country.

They just don't get it that they themselves will be killed along with the rest of us if AQ/other terrorists get their way.

I've always thought so too. Then heard that Mubarak and and I think Arafat have been caught doing it. (I wonder how many others do too.)

It was some time ago that I read that, maybe a year ago or more, could never find the link today though.

Kitty Hawk, that brought a lot of side results, while searching it.

The ship, I think that the terrorist threat, may mean any
Flat top or aircraft carrier, the Kitty Hawk may be only a type.

for me, my end results seemed to always lead to the town and not the ship.

First thing that comes to mind is "Scuba Divers", miles of easy unguarded shoreline.

Second, it was about then that several military planes fell out of the sky in the U.S.

Some of the military airports were on the sea and available to the scuba divers.

there were several chemical/refineries/test labs in the general area of the town.

I have no training in taking out ships, but think that to take on a carrier would be difficult.

Yemen is a prime example, the Cole was a sitting duck, as were our ships in Hawaii.

My thought is that there are enough threats against the whole world that the Navy will keep our ships moving and it will be difficult to find a sitting target.

I never loose the thought of Cuba's navy or the OBL Navy.

Don't forget that we still don't have the answer to the dead scuba divers.

When the Cuban crisis happened, the San Diego ships went to sea. As did my stepfather, we never knew what happened, but when he died 10 years ago, there was a stack of Commendations and Purple Hearts.

Stan was a great man, except that he liked to drink, he always said that he was the only man who served 30 years and came out with less rank than he started with as a gunners mate.

Based on my memory of my husband, it is not at all unusual for the ships to go out to sea and make circles, until it is safe to return.

No, they are not running scared, instead it is an act to protect the ship itself from possible harm.

It is also to be sure that the ship can get to the point where it will be needed.

so OK, I am granny out in the middle of the desert and haven't seen an ocean in 20 years, but if I were the Admiral, those ships would be out to sea.

There are many men here who know far more than I about the Navy and Military.

It is too late to move them after the harbor is blocked, as we already know someone has been attempting to do.

It was the cruise ships during the Mardi Gras, what if it was our battle ships that were locked in next time?

Yesterday in the Free Republic threads, there was a thread for the 3 children whose heads were cut off a week or so ago in the east.

The killers, parents and kids were illegal immigrants.

Brainwashing pure and simple.

The TV says to show the belly. So styles bare the belly.

Of course you are to use, drive and eat the advertised products.

The TV says the poor picked on terrorists should be able to fight back and cutting off of heads is justified, so all the brainwashed fools go out and cut off a few heads.

Hey, they are just late abortions.

I think I had better stop this rant, before I get really wound up.

It can be blamed on Bush, because he dared to fight back like a man should.

Or where the blame really goes, the the commies - liberals- democrats, who celebrate every time America looses.

Hey Mindspy, don't wonder why I choose your post to rant on, it was handy and got me started, not a personal attack.......
