I would make a terrible diplomat. I would never "go along" to be polite or because I was obliged to eat/do something. Just couldn't do it.
"His choice of Afghanistan as a base (rather than any other failed state, like Somalia or the Sudan) was an attempt to hook into some Mahdi prophecies, which refer to that region by some archaic Arabic name as the place where the Mahdi will arise."
The name of the region in the prophecy is Khorasan. It corresponds to modern-day Afghanistan, eastern Iran, and maybe parts of central Asia (IIRC). ("The Black Flags of Khorasan")
The eastern province of Iran is today named Khorasan.
The capital of Khorasan is - - Mashad.

The UBL video had him wearing the clothing of a cleric from Mashad. This reinforces my argument from an earlier thread about Iran fronting him as the Mahdi.
Tariq al-Qods.
Where is Barack Obama coming from to say such a thing??!!??
Glad you had a good day in the woods!
"Specific" in the sense that the verbiage in the video indicated that type of weapon rather than bio, chem, or radiological.
The effects described by UBL are either nuclear specific or massive use of high explosives such as fuel-air. But the wording is more easily rendered as a nuclear threat.
Perhaps it is an empty threat, but that would be an extremely dangerous assumption to make.
So whose submarine would that be?
It's better with whipped cream on it (provides essential dairy products to help you meet your dietary requirements)
"I guess a terrorist attack would come under the "etc." part."
Probably...depends on what kind of attack.
That sure helps explain the 'black flags'.
I went to look up Tariq-al-Qods and clicked onto this cache version of a website.
Take a look at the very top where it says:

***1969??? Al Gore hadn't even invented the internet yet!***
Oh, I got it now, thanks.
That's interesting.
I knew about the drone, but not the sub.
If it can happen in Israel, it can happen here.
Something to think about.
Copying post from TB2K. Thanks Neosgirl. :-)
From the UBL transcript:
"to provoke and bait this administration. All that we have to do is to send two Mujahideen to the furthest point East to raise a piece of cloth on which is written al-Qaida, in order to make the generals race there to cause America to suffer"
to provoke and bait this administration. (to have us give them the pretext for an attack)
All that we have to do is to send two Mujahideen (UBL and Zawahiri)
to the furthest point East ("Khorasan" means "where the sun rises" = the East)
to raise a piece of cloth (dressed like a cleric from Mashad)
on which is written al-Qaida (broadcast to the world on video)
in order to make the generals race there (provoke an invasion of a nuclear Iran)
to cause America to suffer (to give us more pretext for our nuclear attack)
A ribbon a video

YEP. That is very interesting.
to raise a piece of cloth (dressed like a cleric from Mashad)
You don't think this 'piece of cloth' might be the black flag with the AQ logo?
Have her report it.
It is an explosive magnetic flux compressor generator.
(an "E-bomb")
It is a directed energy weapon designed to produce an EMP.
Will fry electronics within a given radius.
Lights out.
Looks like a bomb that is designed to detonate by an emitted pulse, radio frequency or some sort of electromagnetic pulse.
