Militant Says U.S. Prime Revenge Target
New York Daily News ^ | 4/22/02 | Corky Siemaszko

Posted on 04/22/2002 2:46:31 AM PDT by kattracks

Palestinian militants seeking revenge for the arrest of alleged suicide bombing mastermind Marwan Barghouti are vowing to strike Israel's chief ally: the United States.

"Now, American targets are the same as Israeli targets," a senior leader of Al Aqsa Martyrs Brigades told Time magazine. He did not go into specifics.

Sen. Bob Graham (D-Fla.) said the White House should take the threat seriously. "I fear certain American targets are vulnerable," he told CNN.

Al Aqsa's rage was further fanned yesterday when the Israelis nabbed Barghouti's right-hand man, Nasser Abu Hmeid, 31, after a brief gun battle in the Qalandiya refugee camp outside the West Bank city of Ramallah.

Barghouti, 41, was captured in Ramallah last week and was being grilled by security forces about his alleged activities.

As the head of Al Aqsa, Barghouti has been blamed for launching a wave of deadly suicide bomb attacks against Jewish civilians.

Israeli Defense Minister Binyamin Ben-Eliezer has called Barghouti the head of the "most murderous of the terrorist organizations."

The Israeli Army says it has documents linking Al Aqsa directly to Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat.

After spending 9 years among Towel Head As* Backward Nations on the Russian boarders during the Cold War, the only thing I can say is that once they start their Suicide Thinking that by Bombing us in our Cities to get their way, they will awaking their most dreaded Nightmare of Total all out War.

There would not be one piece of Ground or a Hidy Hole they could Crawl into without being pulled out like a Rabbit in a Hollow Stump by the People against all them then Gutted and Quartered (which is wrong, but that is what would happen till all them are eliminated) and the problem goes away.

The is nothing worse than a Angry, Upset, Mistreated & Hurt American!

I guess they have not read what happened to the Taliban.

What we did to the Taliban was a gross under reaction which managed to kill a few hundred or so,
it was by no means enough to teach non-Taliban Rags anything.
If we had reacted in a manner which was so over the top as to be preceived by the Rags as completely
insane we could have taught their ancestors (if any) to leave the Americans alone.

We should have become their new boogieman, used to control their children, (if any.)

"Be quiet, go to sleep, or the Americans will get you."

Forgotten what we did to the "Thousand Year Reich"

Not to mention the Imperial Japanese Army, the Vaunted Republican Guard and many many others. We will endure and these trash=talkers will wish they hadn't strutted their garbage in print.

You give them (the islamists) far too much credit. They are not thinking about anything except how to convert the whole world, either by the book or by the sword (9-11).

We are at war. It has many aspects of a religious war, which are society is having a lot of problems coming to grips with. We must remember that the islamists are at war with all the infidels. They fight the Jews, the Hindus, the Christians and anyone else they come in contact with. There is no islamic country that has friendly relations with its (infidel) neighbors.

Too True...I know we suck at intelligence gathering based on progress at Gitmo, but I wish we could find some of the Talibunny sympathizers in that first alliance force that went into Tora Bora and let so many Al Qaeda slip away... Those people should be in Gitmo too. Although the Afghan version of prison is more Afghastly...I think this whole WAR needs to be totally united on both sides...if that means the Euroweenies and Qatar and Bahrain (much less Saudiland) can't see it in their hearts to see Iraqis and Palistinian terrorists lit up with Napalm...They are not our Allies and should not be dealt with as anything but Hostiles. Economic Ties can be renewed later...After the dusty debris of Iraq's pulverised military has stopped blocking the sun, for instance.

How about Turkey?? Admittedly, it doesn't get on too well with Greece, but seems on good terms with the rest of its infidel neighbors.

Now, if you mean any country that has an "Islamist government", then you are right on target.

I suspect that the Muslim/Pali community in the US knows DAMN well it's in their best interest for bombers NOT to hit the US.

With talks of the US supporting a Palestine state I would have to agree 100%. However, the threat of these types of attacks are very real. If you all recall right after 9/11, and closer to Halloween, there was all of that talk about malls being on high alert. Perhaps even back then there were credible threats that these types of suicide/homicide attacks were going to take place in America.

That sounds almost like the hunting season that will open if/when we are infested by the 'blue helmets'. ;-)

Hard to extract intel from Rags that know nothing.
Low level Humint isn't needed to target strategically.

Not only would that sort of thing destroy any and all major Palestinian support in the US,

I wish you were right, but the fact is, the spectacle of Palis dancing in the streets and celebrating 9/11 didn't destroy Palestinian support. It brought the anti-American Americans out in droves.

And, to my knowledge, there are only a handful of Muslim DEMOCRACIES. Anyone else is an enemy in my view, not least the House of Saud, who are scum-sucking double-crossers with blood all over their hands.

To ASA Vet: I think that your wish re what to do to these Islamics who want to kill Americans will be coming soon to Iran, Iraq and Syria.

Saddam knows that. That is why he was/is financing as many terrorist murderers in Israel as he can.

We have a real problem here in the states with the al Fuqra/Black Muslim organizations have been preaching hatred and violence for decades. They have been financed by those who finance Islamic Terrorism across the globe. Danny Pearl was kidnapped and murdered to prevent him from linking the reality of these clymers to al Qeada and other Islamic pro violence organization.

The marches this past weekend should provide pictures and identies of a lot of potential front line PA trouble makers in the US.

I had lunch and a few hours of bridge playing with an old friend from the Farm this past weekend. He indicated that the intel coming from Afghanistan and our detainees there and in Gitmo is incredible. For the most part, adults who love America are back in charge at the Farm and its franchises.

Keep the faith, bro! Your vision/hope of the future is coming.

Did you hear about the Opecker Prince who recently visited GW and complained that in the new Star Trek movies there were no Arabs in the new Star Trek movies coming out.

The Opecker Prince demanded to know if this was another example of the racial profiling of America against innocent Arabs.

President Bush, replied, "No, you see those new Star Trek Movies are in the future. No Profiling was necessary!"

Shermy; seamole; Ernest_at_the_Beach; Clovis_Skeptic please post your links to Jihad in America and the threads about al Fuqra in America.

There are more than 10:1 American rednecks to Paliban terrorists. If they start blowing up our women and kids at the mall, they ain't seen nothin' yet. Jenin was a dress rehersal. While sadly unfortunate, every mosque and suspected "student" would face the brutal xenophobia rednecks are known for, and no place on earth would be a terrorist's haven. Paliban and their arab wizards of Oz will not survive this ungodly war of annihilation. China and North Korea are supporting our mortal enemies. Theo-fascist Islamists have "the bomb" and are in the process of arming weapon systems to deliver the package to Israel and American soil. American elected leaders will be forced to lead, follow, or get out of the way.

BLOAT and practice.
