I tried to post this last night but FR doesn’t allow articles from them. Too bad. It seems he was right. The patterns on AQ forums, etc... during the past few weeks were like deja vu before the 2005 London bombings. I think more is coming.
Classic jihad stuff. Yemen now here. Expect more. The Religion of Body Pieces strikes again.
Wow..
sw
Religion of peace at it again.
There you go, jumping to conclusions, you Zionist pig. Don't you know, it had to have been Israel? Muslims killing other Muslims wouldn't make any sense.

Houston as a target sounds pretty ominous!! The place is crawling with National Guardsmen right now and in a bit of chaos due to the storm....not to mention the hub of our oil industry in America(their reason for wanting to hit it).
SCARY TIMES!! Thanks for the link.
Check post 23!!
I saw that. I’m skeptical of some of these sites- but will read it carefully.
GEO TV's Hamid Mir, who was at the explosion site, said he saw at least 52 bodies. Most of the dead appeared to be drivers who were waiting with their cars outside the hotel, and hotel staff -- most of them security guards.
Mir said a witness saw the gates of the hotel rammed open by a small car, followed by an explosive-laden truck that detonated.
The blast caused a natural gas leak that set the top floor of the five-story, 258-room Marriott Hotel on fire. The blaze quickly engulfed the entire structure. More than a dozen cars were reduced to twisted steel.

Next time you’re in Islamabad, stay at the...
Pat Buchanan on msnbc calls Pakistan the most dangerous country on earth. (Muslim nation. Nukes.)
I’ve stayed several times at that hotel....
In the TV pictures it appeared that the bomb hit the close but detached Men’s only exercise facility next door totally devastating it. Although the Hotel didn’t get the brunt of the blast, it appeared to be on fire.
There was a great Chinese resturaunt in the little shop area off the lobby to the left closer to where the blast was. There was also a fur shop that you could buy a full length russian sable coat for about $3K.
Prayers for all.....
BTW, a lot of Saudi’s (including their royalty) stay there.
Cable outlets not covering this much...wouldn’t want to remind voters about the dangers of AQ right now! The voters might decide that Obama is too risky for this country. (eye roll)
Per FOX- 55 dead as of now.
