Each time I read one of your Military posts, I marvel at the numbers of weapons they are finding and the types.
The amount of money required to buy that many weapons, is mind blowing.
You would think the terrorist would be so busy collecting funds, that there would be no time to use them........
Laughing.......
It was one of the 10,043 unopened emails in my Yahoo mailbox, I spotted it last night.
Who knows what else is in it?
Rabbits in Cuba and other diseases that were in Cuba first, as in West Nile Virus.......
No, of course we won't think THAT......
Have you googled for dog disease and Cuba?
We were threatened with dog disease, and once again, it starts linking the communist and the terrorist......
6 web sites later...and still no name of the suspect.
It could be he may have had no ID and/or it could be he's in no
condition yet to talk.
I don't know.
UPDATES appreciated.

Marines taken hostage: Al-Qaeda
From correspondents in Dubai
October 03, 2005
AL-QAEDA'S branch in Iraq has claimed the abduction of two US marines and threatened to kill them unless US forces released Sunni Muslim female prisoners within 24 hours, according to an Internet statement.
"The Al-Qaeda soldiers were able to take two so-called 'marines' captive after they encircled a foot patrol of the crusaders in the western region," Abu Musab al-Zarqawi's Al-Qaeda Organisation in the Land of Two Rivers said.
The statement, whose authenticity could not be confirmed, said the patrol was taking part in "the so-called 'Iron Fist"' offensive along the Syrian border.
"Al-Qaeda Organisation in the Land of Two Rivers gives the crusaders 24 hours to release Sunni Muslim women from their and their (Shiite) lackeys' prisons ... in Baghdad, Mosul and elsewhere," said the statement posted on an Islamist website.
The statement, parts of which were reported earlier by the Qatar-based Al-Jazeera news channel, warned that unless the women prisoners were freed, the US army should "not bother to look for their sons."
"Let it be known to them that the mujahedeen (holy warriors) are itching to slaughter those (alleged hostages) ... to avenge the blood of the Sunni people being shed at their (Americans') hands and the hands of their stooges in the apostate (Iraqi) government," the statement said.
It was accompanied by the signature of the group's purported spokesman, Abu Maysara al-Iraqi.
When asked about the claim, a US military spokesman in Baghdad said that "As of now, we have no information to release."
On Saturday, the US military announced the start of Operation 'Iron Fist' in and around the village of Sadah in Iraq's restive Euphrates Valley, the latest offensive aimed at rooting out Al-Qaeda-linked insurgents in the border region.
A force of 1,000 troops backed by fighter aircraft and helicopter gunships have so far killed eight insurgents in the offensive aimed at improving security ahead of the vote on the country's post-Saddam Hussein constitution.

U.S. Doubts al Qaeda Kidnapping Claim
American Forces Press Service
WASHINGTON, Oct. 2, 2005 A full accountability check is under way today following what is believed to be a false al Qaeda claim of having kidnapped two U.S. Marines in western Iraq, Multinational Force Iraq officials said today.
A statement posted today on a Web site used by al Qaeda asserts the kidnappings and issues a 24-hour ultimatum to U.S. forces to release female Sunni Muslim prisoners, press reports said.
Military officials said there are no indications that the claims are true, but Multinational Force West is conducting checks to verify that all Marines are accounted for, officials said.
More information will be provided as it becomes available.
The al Qaeda claim comes during Operation Kabda bil Hadid, or "Iron Fist," an offensive involving some 1,000 U.S. Marines, soldiers and sailors from Regimental Combat Team 2 cracking down on insurgents operating in Western Iraq.
The troops are engaging numerous terrorists in and around Sa'dah, some 12 kilometers east of the Syrian border, officials said.
Earlier today, terrorists forcibly entered and building and began firing on Marines, officials said. Unable to suppress the fire, the Marines fired one round from an M1A1 Abrams tank into the building, injuring five civilians. Officials said four of the civilians were treated for minor injuries and released and one was evacuated to Baghdad, where he is reported to be in stable condition.
This afternoon, a suicide bomber prematurely detonated his vehicle, killing one terrorist, officials said.
Shortly after, near Karabilah, Marines were engaged by rocket-propelled grenades and small-arms fire from a building. They returned fire, killing eight terrorists, officials said.
Coalition forces have detained four terrorists, officials said, and no Marine casualties or kidnappings have been reported.

Gunmen told: take British hostages
In an act of pure 7th-century diplomacy, Al-Sadr calls for British hostages to be seized, so that he can use them to buy back two of his top men, held in Basra by the British. From the TimesOnline, with thanks to Granny Weatherwax:
THE radical Shiite leader Moqtada al-Sadr has authorised his militia to kidnap two Britons in Iraq in the hope of swapping them for two of his senior officials who are held in Basra by British forces.
A senior official from al-Sadrs Mahdi army in Baghdad said that al-Sadr had given the order after last months dramatic rescue of two SAS men whom he had been hoping to use as bargaining chips.
The source said al-Sadr had given British authorities until yesterday to release his men, but they had failed to do so.
In return for our two officials, two Britons will be taken, the source said. The two need not necessarily be from the British military, but could be civilians, he added.
The source claimed that the Mahdi army had already pinpointed two British targets working for private security companies in the affluent Mansour district of Baghdad. Several British security firms have bases in the area.

Thanks for the follow-up links on the OU bomb story. I had a busy weekend with visitors and haven't had time follow any of the news. I just checked in a little while ago and saw the OU story. They aren't talking about it on cable news. I'm going to scan your links and catch up on the story.
I hope you had a good weekend.
The incident is interesting.
Hard coverage (or lack of it) on
this incident is interesting, also.

Armed dolphins may be missing (waterproof tin foil alert)

It may be the oddest tale to emerge from the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. Armed dolphins, trained by the US military to shoot terrorists and pinpoint spies underwater, may be missing in the Gulf of Mexico.
