Did anyone see the WND report that said July 4 *is* a date that could be numerologically significant? I found it yesterday morning and then it was gone late yesterday afternoon.

Apparently Saladin had one of his great victories against the Crusaders in 1397 or so on July 4.

Same story mentioned that September 11 was significant numerologically because a Congressional resolution passed on Sep. 11 1922 called for the partition of Palestine and creation of an Israeli state (pointed out Bin Laden talked about the 80 years the US had oppressed the Palestinians or Arab world after Sep 11)

Saladin destroyed the Christian army at the Horns of Hattin on July 4, 1187. This defeat quickly led to the fall of Jerusalem and most of the rest of the Crusader kingdom.

Yeah, but it's a stretch. IMO, we have to be on the lookout the entire month of July, because it is the seventh month....7/07, for instance...and 7/11. The idea of the terrorists hoping to use the magic of numbers to enhance their chances of success makes sense (especially to me, LOL) but I ran 7/04 months ago...then again all last week...and just could not come up with a valid enough date to offer the terrorists either protection or success. COULD be my math is wrong...but then again, maybe not.

Interesting. Saladin was born in Tirkuk, the same home town as ...

Saddam Hussein.

Hussein identifies heavily with Saladin (as well as King Nebuchadnezzar, both of whom conquered Jerusalem). Here's a commemerative postage stamp of the two cuddly ones...
