Militant Says U.S. Prime Revenge Target

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.

"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. "

Heard on Quinn this morning, there was a plot uncovered that the North Koreans would denotnate a nuke or dirty bomb in NYC, with the intent of screwing our economy, with cover of al queda to protect them. Bush Admin found out and made plans (which were leaked to Chinese spies) that they would get samples of the material, trace it to the source (Russia or China) find out who did it (Iraq, Iran, N Korean) then launch a full scale, ICBM nuke response. Word got back to N.Korea and the event did not happen. This could all be grade A bullshit, but it might not.

"...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..."

no doubt. Can you imagine the results that the Israelis would get with these guys? The Mossad would have turned them inside out by now.

Its reading stuff like that that makes me realize how close we are to losing this country...What would Al Gore have done as President...Can you see him convincing the Chinese that We would have the intestinal fortitude to Nuke a major power? We have GOT to throw the Demorats out of the Senate, People!!!

"... ........and you don't think that he's being watched like a hawk watches a field mouse?"

On the other hand, maybe they gummint will send him congratulations for passing his FAA instrument ratings, renew his student VISA, and approve his top-secret clearance for Los Alamos.

I saw a c-span program about black muslims in America. Never have I seen or heard so much blatant hatred. Hard core, in-your-face, ugly hatred for all things white, for all things American, was spewed from every mouth. I wondered where our security agents were that day. They could have collected many new names, from that one program. I don't see how we can allow groups like this to remain in America, and still keep our Country. Here it is months later, and that program still bothers me.

The 9 years I drove that wrecker around the South, I ran into every kind of person, from the highest to the lowest, and you know what? Most Americans are pretty good people.

The problem with America is the politicians. They are so corrupt that it seems sometimes that we, the people, are corrupt because of the 'elected' politicians. They 'represent' us!

I can't figure out how, we as a people, manage to keep such crooks in office. I know a lot of Americans and they almost always stand for what is good for America yet....... even the polls (not that I trust them) but they even show that the people are with Israel, and the war that we are fighting and that we as Americans do not want muslims in our midst. Why do the liberals manage to turn things their way so much?.............the stupid politicans......represent the liberals.........$$$$$ grrr..

We need one of your famous graphics to express our frustrations.........:-) LOL

It seems it will only be a matter of time before some Pallie blows themselves up in a crowded public place in the states.

If this starts happening, expect to see more kamikaze bombings (can we use the Japanese term on Arabs?) in the blue/white states, as opposed to the red states.

[Frohickey]

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

What makes you think they can read?

[backhoe]

I've long thought that politics has a sort of inherent corrupting process about it- most people get into it in part to help, and perhaps benefit themselves as well. All too soon they start seeing themselves as being above a lot of the rest of us, and cutting exemptions and loopholes for themselves and the groups they need for support.

Rush actually had an interesting comment about "do any of you ( us citizens ) realize how corrupting it is to live in a town ( Washington ) where, if you know the right groups & people, you never, ever have to pay for a meal?" There was lot more to it than that, but it started me ( who has a lot of trouble affording food! ) thinking about how out-of-touch anyone would become if they never paid for certain things- like food!

Republican guard wasn't worth mentioning

You're right, I only did so with a great amount of sarcasm intended.

thinking about how out-of-touch anyone would become if they never paid for certain things- like food!

But we allow them to live that way! Why do we not say........if you give yourself another raise we will quit paying your salary......aka......taxes......they do not deserve any cars to drive them around.....money to pay for trips that are nothing but pleasure and perks.

Boy........if we ever challenged them to live the way that most of their voters lived.......we might get some real people that loves America to try and help this country. Instead we have pll that want to go abroad at our expense and pretend that they are 'helping' by having an opinion to bring back home and tell us what they think. ............It is nice to dream once in a while....

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.

Any idea when this outflowing of intel from the captives will start showing up in the media in some way?

So far they seem to portray it as wasted effort!

Re when we will hear about the intel.

If done right, your grandkids and my grandkids might read about it or see it on the history channel. When they are our age.

We are just now learning about things done by our Brit friends and our side in WWII.

[Grampa Dave]

One other thing re any good intel we getting.

CNNCBSNBCABCCSPAN are on the Islamic Terrorist side and would never admit to positive things. Just look at the lies about the all the happenings in Israel the past few weeks.

Oliver Stone will rewrite history 8 to 10 years from now to make us look bad as usual. He will probably blame Nixon and Reagan again.

The NY Slimes, LA Slimes, Washington Compost and other maggot infested fishwraps have shown how biased they are to the Islamic terrorist side with their lies of about what happened in Israel the past 3 weeks. So they will never tell the truth about good intel. B$tch Koppell is a prime example here. Do you think a whore like her would say anything good about our intel.

The Rats in the senate from Leaky Leahy, Biden, the Torch, Da$$hole, Kerry to the Hilldebeast work 24/7 to deball the CIA and to hamstring it. So they will never say anything positive about it.

When all of the negative anti America Americans above complain or deride our Intel, that is a real good sign that it is working very well.

[Grampa Dave]

Re the Black Muslims. What is double damning here, is that in our prison, our tax $'s from the states and probably the federal government pay for militant so called Black Muslim men of the cloth to come into prison and recruit violent felons into the cause.

Then the blacks in congress who hate America like the b$tch McKinney from Georgia, take advantage of policital correctness and make racial profiling of criminals a criminal activity. So we can't do profiling at our airports now, due to these black anti American traitors and their ACLU buddies activities in the past 5+ years.

America is not yet ready for the revealing of these links. When we start to have problems like Israel is having in America with the Black Muslims and their brown counter parts, the La Raza thugs, all hell will break loose in this country.

Right now do to our liberal courts, the PC laws and the power of those who hate America like Rep McKinney, we are basically powerless to do anything until it happens. What we are doing is getting a lot pictures and intel on these groups and financial data! Cutting off their financial legs is an incredibly effective weapon.

You're practicing relativism. It matters not one bit whether one American is killed in such a manner or 3,000. It's like the spate of kidnappings for ransom now so popular in Central and South America. Pay the ransom and what do you get? More kidnappings...LOTS MORE! Or more acts of terror and death. The perpetrators must be hunted down and shot for the vermin they are!

If on the other hand, for each and every such act, a Ranger strike team were sent into the area with orders to NOT return with any prisoners such activity would cease....at least insofar as our citizens are concerned.

In much the same way that crimes against the people dropped over 25% when the Florida Concealed Weapons Permit system went into effect in 1987...because criminals aren't into getting killed, they're into making safe easy money.

[ItisaReligionofPeace]

I am not using moral relativism, just telling you that if we didn't get our act together after 9/11, a suicide bombing isn't going to change anything. I think we do have our act together for the most part.
