"I have an uneasy feeling we're going to be at DEFCON 1 sooner rather than later."

If the Defense folks are paying attention to the Islamic subtext in this letter, we should be there now. Arguably, what the letter represents is the cocking of a trigger.

Isn't this the "shahada invitation", as in

"Unbeliever, this is your only chance to convert to Islam. Since I already know what your answer will be, I am now free to kill you!"

DEFCON ONE will come sooner rather than later, IMO.

This is rather reminicent of the 15 part message Japan sent the United States in December, 1941...We all remember how that turned out...stay alert Freepers, I suspect we will be hearing from Mahmmod very soon.

In that case I suggest we all lock and load. The only way to stop these terrorists is to eliminate all of the Islamic countries. Amen.
