There is no doubt that the world is scared of the bird flu.
It is as if they do know something that we do not.

I had forgotten about doing that. Thanks for the reminder. And your absolutely right about the foot care. I did okay for a cube dwelling couch potato...only one blister.
Thanks for posting that link ffnj. Good information to be found there.
It's comforting that more and more folks are getting themselves ready. Our families and our nation will be stronger for it.
Methinks the jihadi scum know NOT with whom they are dealing.
That was my first thought also
Cindy, thanks for the heads-up on this show. I have been catching it as often as I can. Just amazing what was happening behind the scenes. The most memorable info. to me was Albright at Chirac's residence chasing after Arafat...truth is truly stranger than fiction. A must see documentary.
Oct 17, 2005, 09:37 AM EDT - Stolen Mortar At Nauticus
A man who lives next to Battleship Wisconsin in downtown Norfolk told us he saw four people steal an inactive mortar from the ship early Monday morning.
NewsChannel three's Priscilla Monti spoke exclusively with the eyewitness who asked that his name not be released to the public. He said he was looking out from his balcony in Harbour Place Condominiums at 5:40 in the morning. At first he saw two silhouettes moving on the ship.
They were walking toward the bridge to Nauticus. As they rounded the bow he noticed two more people. One was carrying a large "dummy" shell. The man says he yelled to them, "Hey I saw you take that. I'm calling the police!"
He said a woman yelled something back to him. Then the four ran off the ship and toward downtown Norfolk. He said it looked like three men and one woman. They were all dressed in black.
By the time police arrived there was no sign of the four culprits. Detectives said they will look at surveillance video to see if the crime was captured on tape. The six-foot-mortar shell is inactive.
Thanks, all4one. I wonder, if they're describing the "mortar" shell as six feet tall, don't they mean one of the shells for the 16" guns? This sounds more like a prank, since they'd have to know it was a dummy round, and there's no way to fire that thing without a honkin' big barrel.
I worry more about the fact that these clowns got access to the Mo' without anyone stopping them.
Mo' = Wisky

The Associated Press - Published: Oct 17, 2005
FREDERICK, Md. (AP) - Fighter jets forced a private airplane to make an unscheduled landing at an airport after the plane violated restricted airspace around Camp David, the Secret Service said.
F-16s intercepted the single-engine Firefly about 9:30 a.m. Sunday and forced the landing at Frederick Municipal Airport, authorities said. Maryland State Police held the pilot until Secret Service agents arrived.
"We interviewed the pilot and he was unaware that he had wandered into restricted airspace," Secret Service spokesman Eric Zahren said. The pilot wasn't charged.
Zahren refused to release the pilot's name because he wasn't charged. The plane, which was painted to resemble a vintage Army aircraft, is registered to Gregory Curtis of Raleigh, N.C., The Frederick News-Post reported Monday...
9 Cases of Brain-Wasting Disease in Idaho (10/17/05)
Oct 17 11:56 AM US/Eastern - By REBECCA BOONE
BOISE, Idaho - From the moment Joan Kingsford first saw her husband stagger in his welding shop, she wanted two things: His recovery and to know what made him sick.
She got neither. Alvin Kingsford, 72, died recently of suspected sporadic Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease, the fatal brain-wasting illness. The disease can be conclusively diagnosed only with an autopsy, which did not take place.
State and federal health officials are trying to get to the bottom of nine reported cases of suspected sporadic CJD in Idaho this year. Sporadic, or naturally occurring, CJD differs from the permutation dubbed variant CJD, which is caused by eating mad-cow-tainted beef and has killed at least 180 people in the United Kingdom and continental Europe since the 1990s....
I was thinking prank as well...but these days...four people...dress all in black...wandering around on a military ship before dawn...
I know the layout there, and it astonishes me that anyone can get aboard the ship off-hours without being stopped or even seen. I imagine the Naval Museum is going to tighten access even more and put physical barriers up.
I read this article. I daresay that there are a lot more terrorist groups beyond Hamas and AQ in the USA. I once saw a map where major concentrations were shown near major U.S. cities and Miami/Fort Lauderdale had theirs. They are all capable of strikes. But will they strike? I wonder how many Jihadis will actually carry out their missions once they have effectively assimilated into our society and gotten used to such conviences like indoor plumbing etc, I'm not sure it's a certainty they'll go thru with the act....Especially if they're not part of a cell, but rather, acting alone. In a cell, there is mutual support and organization and leadership and possible sanctions for cold feet. I'm sure these groups are fully capable of killing a member's family in the Middle East for failure to obey.
I caught a comment this morning regarding the Avian Flu Drug. Its not a vaccine, like I assumed. I heard its a drug you have to take multiple doses of for it to be effective. Like a vitamin regiment.
Did I hear that right? How true is that? Anyone?
THAT Sounds more reasonable! I still don't know what they'd use it for, though. Unless somebody is considering a HOAX or a diversionary act....Somebody could I guess pack the hull full of explosives in exactly the same manner as one might weld together 55 gallon drums and pack those with TNT. Same principle. We're not talking a missile warhead here, although that's how it might be played in overseas media....

Very interesting. This one doesn't smell right at all. I wonder if he is in jail now.
