Bin Laden Says Will Take Fight to America
(Full Story)

Al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden said his group reserved the right to fight the United States on its land and warned Washington and the world community against sending forces to Somalia, according to an Internet audio tape.

"We will fight its (U.S.) soldiers on the land of Somalia ... and we reserve the right to punish it on its land and anywhere possible," said the speaker, who sounded like the Saudi-born militant.

"We warn all of the countries in the world not to respond to America by sending international troops to Somalia," he said of the African nation where Islamists' power is rising.

Ok, I just checked about 8 local news sites.

You all lost power at LAX for 90 minutes.
At this time, it appears the cause is unknown.

Here's one of the latest articles.

This was posted in breaking but was quickly pulled by the mods as it wasn't sourced (I think). Interesting, but, who knows.

HEADS UP - BREAKING NEWS - IRANIAN THREAT
REPORTS FROM IRAN STATE:

Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadi-Nejad has declared he will make an announcement on Wednseday July 19th, 2006 which:

"WILL LET THE MOSLEM WORLD AROUND THE GLOBE KNOW THAT AFTER THE ANNOUNCEMENT THEY WILL NOT HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT ISRAEL'S NUCLEAR ARMS OR NUCLEAR CAPABILITY EVER AGAIN"

This provides three possible scenarios:

1. Iran is about to nuke Israel.

2. Iran will declare they have nuclear capability with at least four missiles with NUCLEAR warheads (common knowledge in intelligence circles) that can easily reach all of Israel and threaten to use these against Israel if that country does not immediately cease attacks on the Hezbollah and Lebanon.

3. In the event that Israel does not immediately comply, Iran will declare war on Israel and fire nuclear missiles, which would not leave much of a country over which any more fighting is logical.

HOPED FOR RESULT: Depending on the extent of damage to Israel and the ability of that country to continue as a nation in a radioactively polluted environment, already weak-kneed Western powers will call for creating non-aggression pacts with nuclear Iran.

RE: Post # 1129.

I guess the "pulling of the thread" was real brief - it's back up!

[Cindy]

Shouldn't this read (and this is unsourced too): AllMyJihad is heading to hell in a handbasket (probably with a purple bow on it) and he's going to be roasting there along with 72 pigs?

Giggling...

Seriously, AllMyJihad seems to be hopped up.
He needs to try the 12-step program.

[Cindy]

Thanks Oorang.
I really do appreciate the post.

Here's the url Oorang for that thread:

[Oorang]

AllMyJihadi is certifiably loony. I wonder if he is somehow related to KimJongMentallyIll. He must really believe he is the 12 imam returned. The frightening thing is you just can't deal with someone who has no concept of reality. *Sigh*

N. Korea: North calls alert, U.S. and Korea plan 5-way talks(wartime mobilization preparation)
JoongAng Daily ^ | 07/19/06 | Lee Young-jong, Lee Sang-il

North calls alert, U.S. and Korea plan 5-way talks

July 19, 2006 ¤Ñ North Korea has ordered wartime mobilization preparation for its soldiers and citizens, a senior intelligence official said yesterday. The order was delivered to military and civilian leaders just after midnight Sunday, four hours before the United Nations Security Council adopted a resolution condemning the North's arms and missile programs.

President Roh Moo-hyun convened a meeting of his security officials today to discuss that mobilization order and other issues stemming from the UN resolution. The order, which was not broadcast by radio or television, was the first in 13 years. In March 1993, readiness was increased as North Korea pulled out of the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty.

The intelligence official said he assessed the order, in Kim Jong-il's name, as an effort to rally the nation behind him. He said soldiers were recalled to barracks, camouflage was being rolled out and civilian travel had been restricted.

In Washington, the South Korean and U.S. representatives at the six-party talks on North Korean nuclear issues said yesterday they agreed on the value of a session of those talks even without North Korea present.

Greeted by reporters as they left a luncheon meeting, Chun Young-woo and Christopher Hill said such a meeting might keep some momentum alive in the moribund negotiating forum. Pyongyang has boycotted those talks since last autumn.

The two men said no date has been set; indeed, China, the host of the negotiating forum, appears to be ambivalent at best about a meeting sans North Korea. Mr. Hill told reporters that the other five nations in the talks ¡ª Russia, China, South Korea, Japan and the United States ¡ª wanted to give North Korea some time to consider the implications of the United Nations Security Council resolution adopted last weekend condemning its missile tests and calling on it to return to the six-way talks.

He repeated that Washington would sit down for discussions with Pyongyang only in the context of those six-way talks.

Mr. Chun said he was confident that Beijing would eventually agree to a five-way meeting.

"Russia will pose no problem and China seems to have become more flexible in recent days," he said, "but we have to keep consulting."

Thank you! I should have posted that link. Trying to do too many things at once (again).

[Cindy]

I hear you.

It does seem a tad busy lately.

And, no problem.

[Cindy]

Yep and I wonder if they have been talking together recently.
Birds of a feather....
