There was an article I deleted several months ago (cannot find it but it may have been linked on here) because it was so over-the-top and provided no evidence to support its claims. I believe it was an editorial in an Indian newspaper/newssite (not sure if Indian-based or expatriate). But it claimed UBL and a nuke(s) were going to be smuggled through India, and out one of their ports - - possibly because 1) India is an ally and not as closely watched 2) the Muslim minority in India is not terribly extreme for the most part and therefore not suspect, and 3) the logistics would be easier than trying to leave through a Pakistani or Iranian port (overland from the region is not likely to succeed).
It looked like the Indian version of the National Enquirer (half expected to see an Elvis sighting or alien abduction story to follow). But when Iran-Contra broke, it was some small, anti-US, Lebanese newspaper that leaked it, and I don't think anyone took it seriously at first (the idea that Ronald Reagan was cutting backroom deals with the terrorist Godfathers in Iran sounded too unreal to believe). So you never know where you'll find a clue I suppose.
Your post has me chuckling ~~~~
Unless UBL is on his way to the belly of the eagle..
They may be together, but I wonder if that would be wise. Seems like they would be wary of a 'decapitation' strike, like our gov't officials are.
Black turban also signifies direct descent from Mohammed (pox be unto him).
I wondered about the black turban as well:
My apologies if this has already been posted/discussed.

I think that jaunty thing is their equivalent to our baseball cap!
Sharon delayed the disengagement three weeks to wait for Tisha B'Av (ninth of Av)to pass (8/14). It will be a target date for the Jewish terrorist groups (for every ying there must be a yang I suppose). It marks the anniversary of the destruction of both the first and second temples and I'd imagine they will put some serious security on temple mount about that time. Most of the settlers are good, law abiding folks. But a minority of them are dangerous - - hard-core, fanatical, religiously motivated killers. Same mindset as jihadis.
They believe they are acting on orders from God and they will stop at nothing to set off their own conception of "holy war" - - even if it means killing every last member of their own government, starting with Sharon. And while they believe they are trying to save the state of Israel, in deliberately tying up tens of thousands of security personnel, troops and internal security agents, they are exposing Israel to enormous external threat. And that is their very purpose and intent. Whether they start it by clearing Temple Mount, or they "clear the way" for the other side to start it - - they share at least one goal with the jihadis. They want to bring about a complete and total clash of civilizations no matter the price in human life.
Pure evil.
"I concur, and would add the Iranian decision to continue the nuclear program and the clear Israeli and US positions that pertain."
They could direct Hezbollah to launch a volley of Katyushas on northern Israel. If any of these had chemicals, the response would be fearsome. And then you get the UBL "vision" of the destruction in Lebanon and the "Manhattan" that would follow.
Glad I could be of service for a good laugh during these trying times. :)
Thanks AD. The National Guard and NYPD at Penn Station were heavily armed this morning
"The Prophet entered Mecca on the Day of victory wearing a black turban and he loosened its two ends between his shoulders."
"go"
You're welcome ffnj.
More heavily armed than usual? (I am amazed I even asked that question.)
But, 'Zilla, while I agree with you on most all points, especially the comment on Iran, it would seem to me that OBL has his own agenda and he will make use of assets offered while ignoring any strings that may also be attached to such assistance. His first and foremost objective is the total destruction of our country (to start with) and the eradication of western civilization in favor of an Islamist theocracy for the world. He will act by whatever means he has available to accomplish that mission. His allies in extremeism will concur.
But the nation states like Iran will see this as putting the crosshairs of freedom onto them (which of course, it does...but OBL does not care)! They may see this too late and they may even regret the aid given to AQ, but they won't act against them to help us or any other western nation. IMHO, they've dealt the cards and placed their bets. Like it or not....they've got to go along for the rest of the ride....
My hurricane supplies are laid in and they will suffice for anything else that may crop up in the way of an emergency. If it's a real nuke here in Miami, I can only hope and pray that one of two things happens: Either I'm at ground zero (in which case, me and mine will watch the show from Heaven) or that Heaven comes for us FIRST (Rapture). Anything conventional and I'm prepared to deal with problems as they occur. Just like always.
"On the day of victory". Wonder if this tape was made on 7/7 indicating victory with the London bombings
.....or if the release TODAY means something imminent.
