LUCKY THREAD NUMBER:

HOMELAND INSECURITY

Backup electrical systems failed to kick in

A mysterious power failure at Logan Airport that delayed dozens of flights for more than five hours has still not been explained – six days later.

Airport officials insist airline security was not compromised during the blackout Monday at Logan International's Terminal E, but backup electrical systems failed to kick in as they are programmed under such circumstances.

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

Meet It!
Greet It!
Defeat It!

It means "A Texan for 2000". It was taken from a $2000 Dollar Bill that had GW's face on it, as a silly election thing. The bill was then taken and modified to have Zarqawi's face on it, with some other changes.

Low tech terrorists, as in wildfires?

At the very least, it brings out the local arsonists.

If one reads the links for the CHP, it will show the
little fires and not so little that are being started by arsonists, it did last year.

It was so bad that a Policeman would get a report of
"cars stopped on freeway", and arive to find that the motorists were out fighting a new fire.

Then why the 1,000 agents if they have nukes? I don't know, to me the two do not mesh.

[HipShot]

I believe the last number I saw was "70,000". That was an estimate from ExSoldier's contact.

There is an ongoing thread on FR about Matt. He's a fellow Ohioan and I keep my eyes on the news for related stories. Here is the Matt thread if you'd like to bookmark and follow it.

UNCONFIRMED report: Matt Maupin executed

[Lady Heron]

Unless they are planning to use the aircraft as a harassing tactic or a follow up tactic to a large scale strike.

It is almost like what is the point. If you have a nuke that does the most any terrorist could do. The amount of terror that would instill, not only here but in Europe also, would say it all.

For some reason I do not put the two together. They either have a nuke or they need many many agents to pull off a large scale low tech terror event.

[HipShot]

Why? I don't understand your position.

[Lady Heron]

70,000 have crossed the border??? No way, that would be to obvious but if true then definitely low tech and spread out through many cities.

[nw_arizona_granny]

OBL is shooting fire from his gun, the cloud could be anything.

Did you see the face in the bottom right corner???

At first, It looks like a woman.

But it also has a beard and a big nose, that looks like it
has jewels in it.....

The back of OBL's cape is stained a yellowish color.

(what my eyes see).......LOL

[nw_arizona_granny]

But the silly message from the bill has shown up in jihadi messages, that are not related to here or the bill.

[Honestly]

Why in the he!! are we still members of the UN? This article is specific to the UN ruling on the fence that Israel built to protect themselves, but the fact that it states that there is no right to self-defense when terrorists aren't state actors is absurd.

Had Enough? U.N. ASSAULT

The Court has declared four new rules about the meaning of the right of self-defense in the face of terrorism today.

(1) There is no right of self-defense under the U.N. Charter when the terrorists are not state actors.

(2) There is no right of self-defense against terrorists who operate from any territory whose status is not finalized, and who therefore attack across disputed borders.

(3) Where military action is perpetrated by "irregulars," self-defense does not apply if the "scale and effects" of the terrorism are insufficient to amount to "an armed attack...had it been carried out by regular armed forces." (The scale in this case is 860 Israeli civilians killed in the last three years - the proportional equivalent of at least 14 9/11's.)

(4) Self-defense does not include nonviolent acts, or in the words of Judge Rosalyn Higgins: "I remain unconvinced that non-forcible measures (such as the building of a wall) fall within self-defence under Article 51 of the Charter." (snipped)

Unless they're telling each other about the bill.

[nw_arizona_granny]

Yes, I regret to say that we are still members of the UN, and we will be turned over to them, if kerry wins.

It is sad to watch Israel fight to survive, when the world wants them to vanish.

Somehow, the United States needs to wake up and realize that we are now Israel.

The UN will do to us, what they plan for Israel.

And kerry and the clintons think that is the way it should be.

Look at how much of the United States the UN owns now, rivers, parks, minerals and more than even I have been able to keep up with.

Our enemies are too many, and our survival is getting further away each day.

"Every once in a while I see an article where they shoot at each other on the border."

Dunno what's been happening lately, but back in the 1980's I had a BUNCH of officer type buddies who ran successful ambushes inside the DMZ at night against the NK's. The DMZ after dark is or was a free-fire zone. Anything that moves is fair game. Anybody who led a successful hit during the hours of darkness automatically had a price on their head by NK forces and they were always rotated out of the country within 24 hours. It was only spoken of inside army circles, and that news blackout held for all that time because after all, SK is also a police state. But a "benevolent police state." LOL

[Lady Heron]

I guess I am not questioning your reasoning. It is just that I do not understand why you need so many agents here if you have the ultimate weapon that causes terror. Once used their demands mean more. They have a much better bargaining position to threaten from.

Every extra agent here is just an other chance to get caught and have him possibly leading us to others and their big plan being stopped. Less people in the know more chance of succeeding. Even those who do not know the big plan have a chain of command that at some point will lead to somebody who knows what is going on, and that type of person is probably in a country where they are not controled by the Geneva Convention.

Remember AQ has been on the run while planning. They would be putting everything into this operation. Everything we have seen from these guys up to this point has been low tech except the anthrax (but that possibly came from Iraq).

Like I said, and it is just my thinking, I can't seem to put the two together.

JP - Prayers from here for Riley and her mommy (and her grandma too). What in the heck are we going to do without you on the 28th? Now that is scarey! Glad to see you got some advice from Judith Anne. Catching up here is taking forever!

[Quix]

i THINK the Jihadi's

have a mentality such that . . .

THEY WANT MAXIMUM DEATH AND MAYHEM

up to,

including

and

past

the utter destruction of the USA as a country and all the infidels here as a people or group of peoples.

As a group, they are willing to die and not rest until that goal is reached.

THEREFORE,

they want

ALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL

of the above to the maximum extent possible.

I don't know that our sense of logic has any part in their thinking.

We can be sure they want to take DC and NYC out.

They may well use 3-5 DIFFERENT DEVASTATING METHODS for

EACH

priority target.

They are not the least bit concerned about

OVERKILL.

They are ONLY concerned about

UNDERKILL.

imho.

[Honestly]

More on today's laughable Iranian propoganda, including mention of Saad bin Laden (Osama's son) in Iran:

Facing Fresh U.S. Allegations, Iran Says It Has Dismantled al-Qaeda Groups
AFP: 7/17/2004

TEHRAN, July 17 (AFP) - Iran`s intelligence minister announced Saturday that his services had smashed al-Qaeda operations in the country, amid fresh allegations from the United States the clerical regime has been cooperating with Osama bin Laden`s network.

"The intelligence ministry has identified and dismantled all the Iranian branches of the al-Qaeda movement," Ali Yunessi was quoted as saying.

"We have stopped the terrorist acts of al-Qaeda. If we had not done so, we would have had security problems," he added. (snipped)

"Once used their demands mean more. They have a much better bargaining position to threaten from.

The only demand they have is that our heads come off of our necks. The only bargaining position they are interested in is "submit or die", while holding the sword over our necks.

This isn't political or secular.
