MEMRI.org - MIDDLE EAST MEDIA RESEARCH INSTITUTE: "IRAN"

KC area is in the heart of fly-over country. Contrails are nothing more than a cloud created from the exhaust from jet engines. Much like the visible cloud from tail pipes of cars in the winter. They are even created created by propeller driven planes (Watch an episode of '12-o clock High).
I have found the same type of hoax info. as well. I have always just taken for granted that these contrails were created by jet airplane engines that are putting out vapor from the engines; into air at a high altitude that is cooler than that of the engines. Similar to what takes place in the winter, when you breath outside and see you breath.
If I recall correctly, after 9/11, the were people in NY and Northern NJ who upon seeing contrails, took comfort in the fact that they indicated fighter jets patroling the area.
Howdy JM.
Good to hear from you and glad you made it through Friday night as well. Scary stuff. I've helped a few people clean up. What a mess a tornado can make! LOL!
Report: Italy arrest 10 in alleged plot
9/21/2004, 3:44 p.m. ET
The Associated Press
ROME (AP) Italian and Lebanese authorities have arrested 10 alleged terrorists, thwarting plans to blow up the Italian Embassy in Beirut in a car bomb attack, the Italian news agency ANSA said Tuesday.
Plans for the attack were in an advanced phase, ANSA said. Police also seized about 220 pounds of explosives, the Italian news agency said.
The report could not immediately be confirmed.
The arrests were carried out in Lebanon, ANSA said. The suspects, whose nationalities were not immediately clear, were alleged to be members of a Lebanese cell of the Salafist Group for Call and Combat, an extremist organization believed to have ties to Osama bin Laden's al-Qaida.
The operation was carried out by Lebanese authorities in cooperation with the Italian military intelligence service, SISMI, according to ANSA.

"Someone over on the Gertz story thread is concerned about 9/27 b/c it is 1111 days after 9/11. I really think the number thing is far fetched as it is easy to manipulate figures."

I agree with you.
I said in post no. 1195:
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
Divulge Their Plans
I can imagine what the families are going through and for me, that is very disturbing.

Slightly off topic...
Speaking candidly, the reliigion of pieces needs to get with the religion of peace and hopefully the religion of peace can straighten out the religion of pieces. Can it be done? I don't know.
I found this candid article interesting:

JIHAD WATCH.org (MEMRI.org): "Syrian Professor: 'We Need People Who are Capable of Fearlessly Acknowledging that Terrorism Nests within Us as Muslims and that We Must Exorcise It'" (September 21, 2004)
Tapes AND VIDEO existed ala bin laden May 26, 1998 - note:
binny laden (impressed with his own voice) has 64 tapes in 1998
Not quite the same border. Pakistan/Afganistan border is what the link is refering to.
Thanks for your response Mike. I didn't mean to imply they wouldn't strike again (I DID say they may hit us hard!), only that a very large part of their strategy is the creation of fear in their enemy (us). The proof of their intent is the violence they perpetuate to keep us on our toes or in a supine position (handy for their swords). What is clear is that they are barbaric, crude, unyielding and in need of extermination by whatever means is necessary to accomplish the task. Like roaches, they are multiplying and seem to be everywhere. These human vermin are a health hazard to our troops and the Iraqi people. There are, however, remedies that can permanently destroy them that can and should be used. (from the not-so-nice today me who is disgusted with the beheadings and knows full well they will do more and more and more of them as they attempt to cause political repercusions and fear and terror among the Iraqis who want to help get their democracy going).
OK, now I see your linkage. Definitely Pakistan in the past has provided a safe haven prior to the Taliban taking over Afganistan and unoffically does so today in the 'warlord' zones in isolated areas along the Paki-Afgan border.
As a non beleiver in that # stuff, I will point out it seems there is a high number of numerologists attaching tin foil hats for that date. They probably have their own TM.
Exactly my point (although I had a hard time getting there).
What I would consider to be a CAP just went over the ranch. Not on the usual approach to Seattle area. Taking their time, loud engines but not maxed out... waiting.

Whether of not we believe in numerology (I do not), the numbers 11 and 19 have significance in Islam, as well as the crescent moon, the stars and the sword.
Sometimes half the fun is getting there ;)
