Are you saying that al qaeda is seething and bubbling like hot molten lava inside a volcanoe ready to erupt?
This particular search does get dicey.
"Death to Amerikkka" search picks up anti-Americans doestic and foreign.
This search here usually picks up more domestic than foreign anti-Americans:

I should clarify it's the "death to Amerikkka" search that is pretty dicey.
LOL, not quite the metaphor I'd use for this situation.

Thank you all4one for the link.

Muslims feel targeted: Musharraf tells US
(AFP)
21 September 2004
NEW YORK - Pakistan President Pervez Musharraf urged the United States Monday to overcome Muslim perceptions of a Western anti-Islamic bias by helping resolve global political disputes, especially in the Middle East.
Speaking at a dinner hosted by the US Chamber of Commerce in New York, Musharraf also said he remained undecided as to when he may step down as Pakistani army chief, as he had earlier promised to do by year-end.
“Muslims today are feeling as if Islam as a religion is being targeted. This needs to be undone,” Musharraf said.
“I think the United States has to concentrate on the resolution of political disputes throughout the world,” he said, identifying settlement of the Palestinian issue as key to ensuring global stability.
He also stressed the need for US help in combatting poverty and illiteracy, which he described as issues that “form the core of causes of terrorism.”
A key US ally in the global war on terror, Musharraf said Pakistan was committed to ridding the country of terrorist groups and their supporters.
“We will end terrorism and the Al Qaeda presence in Pakistan,” he pledged.
Questioned as to when he may resign his military post, the president said his top priority was ensuring continuity for crucial policies, including social and economic reforms, as well as the fight against terror.
“What worries me is their future,” he said. “And while I haven’t decided whether I’m going to remove my uniform or not, it doesn’t cause concern. I’ll take a decision in a few months. I haven’t decided as yet.”
Musharraf, who seized power in a bloodless coup in October 1999, promised last December to leave the army by the end of 2004 as part of a deal with opposition lawmakers that would allow him to remain president through 2007.
Opposition parties campaigning to end military rule have argued that reneging on the promise would amount to a violation of the constitution.
Musharraf was due to meet Wednesday with US President George W. Bush on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly in New York.
During their talks, Musharraf is expected to urge Washington to take a larger behind-the-scenes role in settling Pakistan’s bitter dispute with India over the disputed region of Kashmir.
Other topics will likely include the upcoming presidential elections in Afghanistan, the situation in Iraq and the war on terror.
The president is also scheduled to hold peace talks here with Indian Premier Manmohan Singh, which will focus on Kashmir.

CIA/DIA conducted Wargames in preperation for Pre-Emptive Strikes on Iran Nuclear facilities!!

"WASHINGTON: US spy agencies have conducted "war games" to consider possible pre-emptive strikes on Iran's nuclear facilities and concluded that such action would not resolve the standoff with Tehran, according to a report in Newsweek magazine."
"Newsweek reported that the CIA and the Defence Intelligence Agency played out the possible results of pre-emptive strikes.
"The war games were unsuccessful at preventing the conflict from escalating," an unnamed US air force source told the magazine.
Hawks within the Bush administration are advocating regime change in Tehran, through covert operations or force if needed, Newsweek said."

You know, this isn't new news unless there is something specific or some details.
I'm still waiting for someone to be bold enough to come out with this honest headline:
TERRORISTS MAY ATTACK ANYTIME, ANYWHERE
Terrorists Use the Element of Surprise and Won't

Al Qaeda seen planning for 'spectacular' attack
U.S. intelligence agencies concluded recently that al Qaeda — fearing its credibility is on the line — is moving ahead with plans for a major, "spectacular" attack, despite disruptions of some operations by recent arrests in Britain and Pakistan.
Officials said recent intelligence assessments of the group, which is blamed for the September 11 attacks, state that an attack is coming and that the danger will remain high until the Nov. 2 elections and last until Inauguration Day on Jan. 20.
"They [al Qaeda] think their credibility is on the line because there hasn't been a major attack since 9/11," said one official familiar with intelligence reports on the group.
A second official said: "There isn't reason to believe that the recent arrests have disrupted their plans."
Authorities in Pakistan and Britain recently arrested key al Qaeda leaders, but the group uses tight "compartmentation" of its operations. The process, used by intelligence services, keeps information about operations within small "cells" of terrorists to protect secrecy.
Thus, details of the possible attack remain murky, but analysts say it is planned to be bigger and deadlier than the September 11 attacks, which killed 3,000 people.
Potential targets include the White House, Pentagon, U.S. Capitol and congressional buildings, as well as landmarks and business centers in New York, the officials said. The officials said that there is no specific information about targets.
Intelligence officials say a key figure in al Qaeda's North American operations is Adnan Shukrijumah, who is being sought by the FBI for the past several years.
One official said Shukrijumah recently was seen in Mexico and earlier had been in Canada near a university with a nuclear reactor, leading to concerns that he was seeking radioactive material for a radiological bomb.
The Mexican newspaper Proceso, quoting Mexican officials, reported earlier this month that Shukrijumah was being sought in northeastern Mexico after being tracked to Sonora in August.
Acting CIA Director John McLaughlin told a Senate hearing last month that al Qaeda's ability to keep its operations secret is a "strategic weapon."
Mr. McLaughlin told the Senate Armed Services Committee that the group "compartments secrets down to a handful of people in a cave somewhere."
"It's very well-documented in the 9/11 report how few people knew about that," he said Aug. 17. "They use secrecy as a strategic weapon. It's a strategic weapon for them because it asymmetrically works against us because we don't keep secrets very well."
Several key arrests of al Qaeda members were made over the past several months in Britain and Pakistan.
One major intelligence "break" was the arrest in June of Musaad Aruchi, who was captured in Karachi. Aruchi was a senior al Qaeda member who provided information that led to other key arrests within weeks.
The arrest of Aruchi, a nephew of September 11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, provided U.S. and Pakistani intelligence and security officials with information that led to further arrests, including that of Ahmed Khalfan Ghailani, a Tanzanian linked by U.S. intelligence to the August 1998 bombings of U.S. embassies in Kenya and Tanzania.
Along with Ghailani, U.S. and Pakistani authorities also arrested another al Qaeda member, Muhammad Naeem Noor Khan, a Pakistani, who was picked up in Lahore on July 13.
Khan was seized along with a laptop computer that had information on al Qaeda planning and operations.
The computer did not contain specific information about plans for a major attack in the United States, but the information did lead to the raising of the national terrorism alert levels in Washington and New York.
Eisa al-Hindi, an al Qaeda leader in Britain, was arrested after the arrest of Khan. Al-Hindi was arrested in London Aug. 3 along with 12 other suspected al Qaeda members.
