“precision = GPS = missiles or drones”
Yes.
I do think Zawahiri chooses his words carefully. We know from the Bali bombing of the Paradise club that the word “paradise” was in the speech prior to the attack. I can’t remember now if it was bin Laden’s or Zawahiri’s speech.
Here’s an interesting coincidence (?) from Zawahiri’s most recent speech:
ÂThe Jews and the Americans are not from the planet Mars, but they are on our borders and in our land with their gear, equipment, and numbers. Only jihad and unity, rather than secular calls, nationalism, and other political movements, will resolve this matterÂ
The Mars reference seems so out of place to me. Then we see, it’s really not:
Mars is the ruling planet of Aries and, for many astrologers, Scorpio. Mars was the Roman god of war and bloodshed, whose symbol was a sword. The soils of the planet Mars are rich in iron, which has literally rusted to give Mars its famous blood red colour. Mars orbits the sun in 687 days, spending about 57.25 days in each sign of the zodiac.
Astrologically Mars is associated with confidence and self assertion, aggression, sexuality, energy, strength, ambition, and impulsiveness. Mars governs sports, competitions and physical activities in general. (snip)
Mars is associated with Tuesday, and in Romance languages the word for Tuesday often resembles Mars

The planet was known by the Egyptians as (Vel: characters don’t copy correctly here - see source) or “Horus the Red”.
Horus:
Horus is recorded in Egyptian hieroglyphs as (Vel: characters don’t copy - see source) and is reconstructed to have been pronounced (Vel: Characters don’t copy - see source), meaning “Falcon”.

I’m sure the instructions are there coded.
I’d like to see the entire translation, but haven’t found it yet.
NASA’s Phoenix lander is gearing up for an Aug. 3 launch (Friday).
Endeavour is targeted for an Aug. 7 launch (Tuesday).
Lots of “red” in the news - - flashing red “good news soon” banner, red ink letters, Red Mosque (odd no mention in the tape?), red bag left in Times Square . . .
red = Mars = war = go? (”on our borders” = “ready-set-go”?)
“The Jews and the Americans are not from the planet Mars, but they are on our borders and in our land with their gear, equipment, and numbers . . .”
reciprocity - - war (Mars/red) there means war (Mars/red) here
“very precise” . . . “on our borders” (remember it was thought at first that Hezbollah used drones last year against Israel near its northern “severnaya” border)
