Al-Qaida: Be ready for attack killing 100,000

http://worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=35599

An al-Qaida commander in Iraq close to Osama bin Laden warns of an imminent massive attack against the U.S. designed to kill as many as 100,000 people.

A leader who identifies himself as Abu Salma Al-Hijazi said in an interview posted on al-Qal'a – "The Fortress" – an Islamist Internet forum, "a huge and very courageous strike" has been planned, reports the Washington, D.C.-based Middle East Media Research Institute, or MEMRI.

The attack, which he anticipates during the current month-long Muslim observance of Ramadan, will "amaze the world and turn al-Qaida into horrifies the world until the law of Allah is implemented, actually implemented, and not just in words, on his land. …"

Al-Hijazi vowed, "You wait and see that the balance of power between al-Qaida and its rivals will change, all of a sudden, Allah willing."

The interview, according to the article, took place in Iraq, south of Faluja, with five masked men carrying missiles and personal weapons surrounding al-Hijazi.

Hmmm. For a group that has "been all but destroyed," they sure are making a lot of noise.

an Islamist Internet forum.

While the voracity here should probably be questioned as well, it is something that's going around in Islamic activist circles.

that anyone would believe this tripe

An al-Qaida commander in Iraq close to Osama bin Laden warns of an imminent massive attack against the U.S. designed to kill as many as 100,000 people.

goes to the heart of the dishonesty of this administration -

there was no al Qaida link between 9/11 and SH -

and now to put this shit out just pisses me off :mad:

either just to keep the fear factor up, or a message from the REAL powers that be that something big is coming soon. We'll hve to see. Myself, I've felt very uneasy for a few weeks now, I feel something BIG is imminent. Whether a real or staged attack, I don't know.

for San Francisco - as Jebbie just joked that they were an endangered species.

http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?file=/news/archive/2003/11/13/state0340EST0012.DTL

and remember that Jeb Bush signed an executive order for the state of Florida 4 days prior to 9/11 regarding terrorist attacks

(edited to add link and clarification)

Baghdad Bush's cronies should be hitting the sunday talk shows and doing the BOOGA-BOOGA terrorist are coming dance

so, how can this news be taken seriously?
http://www.whitehouse.gov/homeland/

Oh yeah....I forgot...the threat level changes only when there's a holiday and the government wants to scare people about being in shopping malls or on the road. Or, maybe they just haven't heard or read this latest news.</sarcasm>

Yet Another in a long list of reasons that invading Iraq to overthrow the Ba'athist totalitarians was ill-advised.

This type of Shit scares the hell out of every old person.

It is being leaked and promoted by the Chimpanzee and his handlers.

I'll believe the Weekly World News' headline of Ussamah enlisting a cloned Hitler (actual headline) before this is accepted uncritically.

are there on a weekly basis from WND and WorldTribune?

They don't have the organisation to match their nasty ambitions.

One hijacked cargo plane or large business jet (say a G-V) flown into a nuclear power plant's "holding pond" near a metropolitan area would do it.

There are supposedly "no-fly" zones around nuclear power plants, but with hundreds of them to protect, there is no way a military jet could intercept one who flies off course just briefly enough to do it.

This is a concern I've heard voiced from time to time. I don't dismiss their ability to plan nor their ability to attack. They are pissed.

Too useful for Bush.

When Smirky's polls are down, they issue silly "alerts" to freak people out and make them more inclined to "support the president in watime"

However, I don't think there is any doubt that they will plan and carry out more attacks. Its just a matter of when....could be weeks, months or years.

into a nuke plant is going to kill 100,000 people? I seriously doubt that.

...just west of NYC. I've heard previous comments that, if terrorists managed to hit that one, the prevailing winds would carry the radiation directly over Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, and Long Island...and it would get there too quickly to allow much of an evacuation. I would hope that the government has special security measures in effect for that one!

I never put anything past these folks, I keep on saying they would sell out their own mother to win the next election but not too many believe it

So many points to ponder but it should be no surprise to longtime DUers of what happens next because of the * and miscreants squatting in the white house

Gee Wally, I wonder what the invasion of Iraq has to do with any of this?

Keep Your Eyes on The Spin -
Let's quickly walk through the recent events regarding when the administration knew what, it's reaction and the press reaction starting with some news clippings.
The revelation instantly created a politically charged atmosphere in which every White House statement about pre-Sept. 11 threats was subjected to new scrutiny. Fleischer, for example, was asked by reporters hours after the attacks whether "there had been any warnings that the president knew of."

He replied, "No warnings."

"I don't think this should come as any surprise to anybody," he said of the warning given to Bush. "But the president did not — not — receive information about the use of airplanes as missiles by suicide bombers. This was a new type of attack that was not foreseen."
http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&u=/ap/20020516/ap_on_go_pr_wh/bush_hijackings_24



It was well known in the counterintelligence community that the Al Qaeda were looking at car bombs, truck bombs,
boat bombs. It's no surprise they would have wanted to use aviation as well.
(snip)

What if they really mean it? And who would believe it now? Those Goddamn fools at "homeland" security have cried wolf too many times.

Because of their incompetence, people have learned to ignore whatever they say. My co-workers just scoff when they hear about another 'alert'.

Maybe we should take Al-Qaida seriously.....

Bremer makes an an "emgency" visit to WH.
Bremer told * that the situ in Iraq was deteriorating w/ 10,000 resistance fighters.
* tells Bremer to go back to Iraq and return governing authority as quickly as possible to the Iraqis.
* gets the hell out of the country on Nov 16


hmmmm............

Don't you know that? I think there is no Al Queda.

It would not surprise me. Thousands of shipping containers arrive every day and are not inspected. If I were a terrorist, I guarantee I could
(with some financial help) perpetrate 100K casualties in any of dozens of cities. If I can think of ways, you can be sure some of them can too. If we hadn't wasted all our resources on Iraq and tax cuts for the wealthy, we could have actually improved 'homeland security.'

you the practical one!

why in the world would the BFEE want to improve the conditions in the US?

ARGH

You may have just become a suspected "enemy combatant" in J asscraft's America. No lawyer,no trial,Hello Gitmo :-( :grr:

:D

they've supposedly said something along these lines?

do you think they'd warn us?

When I was drinking I never feared the loudmouth blabbering inane threats in the corner booth. However, I always steered clear of the quiet man at the far end of bar, the one not looking at anyone as he angrily guzzled beer.

vacationing and reading comic books.

...Al Qaeda being present in at least 69 different countries around the world.

Immediately after the Bushies declared victory in Afghanistan (sound familiar?), the Bushies yapped bravely about having crippled the Al Qaeda leadership and its ability to launch terrorist operations.

I remember asking myself:

"What happened to Al Qaeda in the other 68 countries? After losing their leaders, did they behave like chickens with their heads cut off and run around panic-stricken before they too fell over dead? Wow!! Neat trick if it worked!"

Prior to the attack on Iraq, I recall the Bushies yapping about the Iraqi Army and how it would collapse if the Iraqi leaders were killed or captured within the first few days.

Immediately after the Bushies declared victory in Iraq (Mission Accomplished! Woo-hoo!!), the Bushies yapped arrogantly about having crippled the Iraqi leadership and its ability to launch any military operations.

"Don't worry about those smoke-plumes and random explosions", Rummy said. "They're just Baathist dead-enders refusing to drop dead like the dead chickens that they are."

So, we've all arrived at this sorry point in American history. Al Qaeda is operating in 70 countries now to include Afghanistan and Iraq. And the "leaderless, dead-ender" Iraqis are exacting quite a toll for having been declared defeated by the Head Chimpster several months ago.

For all we know, Osama Bin Laden and Saddam Hussein are hiding out in the basement of the White House with Cheney's energy meeting minutes and the files being withheld from the 9/11 Commission. After seeing the 2000 coup, I thought I'd seen everything...boy, was I wrong.

An imminent attack by Al Quada against US interest. But at that time the thinking was another US Cole, or embassy abroad. Not that that would have been in any way acceptable. I've seen a lot of dirty bomb talk in the news lately.

If something did happen - you know it would be because we removed the ten commandments from the Alabama courthouse.

That's what Roy Moore will claim I'm sure.

now he has a great "reason" to bust out the football. go long, dubya!

being the only way Bush could attempt to rally the country around
his failed Presidency.

Someone should take a poll to see if he failed that at that one also.

Oct. 27-Nov. 26, 2003

because you know if they didn't specifically say imminent, then it's not IMMINENT you know

Dumbass Islamic fundamentalist terrorists. They're worse than Republicans.

So if Bush takes away yet more of our freedoms in the event of an attack, does that mean that he is negotiating/cooperating/colaborting with terrorists?

That mangled word up their is supposed to be collaborating.

:hangsheadinshame:

the word, "colaborting". It's so W, you know? With your permission, I am going to use this word often. It's deffinition will be "to facilitate an action one is trying to prevent". Bushes best efforts (if he ever actually had any) wind up just colaborting.

:eyes:

Polls are down.

Iraq is a mess.

Afghanistan a mess.

Oil riggs are not bringing in the cash.

Election is right around the corner.(even though blackbox will be safety net)

Need to accelerate their master plan....."7 islamic countries"


Looks like their own chaos strategy is knocking at their door.

:)

So sweet for bin Laden to help Bush out!

Which would give B*sh a bigger bounce in the popularity polls, Al Qaeda attack on America, killing 100K while B*sh is in the country or while he is on a state visit to the UK?

the concept of a frightening Allah......

Give me a peaceful and merciful God/Allah/Jehovah anytime...

sense of our own humanity anytime.

Well, Billy_Pilgrim, I sure feel better knowing that the entire U.S. Armed Forces are protecting us in Iraq. NOT.

There are cargo containers arriving every second to our ports without any inspection and the Bush Administration can't seem to figure out that this endangers us all.

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.

more than a 100,000 of them too. They are surrounded. Sure they are spread out a little within Iraq, but nevertheless. Also I have always said when someone there realizes that Bush/Cheney 04 intend to use that force massed in Iraq to attack other mid-east countries, don't think for a minute they won't try something so devastating to a large number of that force that it would be incapable of an invasion from that point.

Time for Junior to declare victory and bring the troops home so they can get ready to help vote him out next year.

that Jeb was talking about.

and if it actually happened then, wouldn't you think? What did he say, where was he?

More passive-aggressive "humor" from a Bush; nice to know it runs in the family. Fuckwit.

n/t

see post #35 by NNN0LHI. MEMRI reports the most nutball, fruitcase claims it can find and acts as though they have substance. Isn't anyone else struck by the fact that we receive prior "warning" of an impending attack that is supposed to claim 100,000 American lives, and we don't hear a word (aside from early Scottish reports) about the US bombing the sh#t out of Baghdad until AFTER the fact?

On that note, as an aside, since an end to major combat operations was declared by chimpie on the Liberty, shouldn't he have had to go to Congress to get approval for what seems in essence to be the start of a second war on the same soveriegn nation?

...so, if it's true, what the FUCK are you and your lame-ass possee of delusional jumped-up wanna-be Ramboes going to DO about this, then?? Because somehow, knowing that all our resources are tied up on the other side of the world does *not* make me feel better. And you know, I don't feel like buying duct tape or saran wrap or teeny tiny drink paper umbrellas to protect myself from the oncoming plague or fallout or whatever the hell it is we're supposed to be frightened of. Frankly, we'd be better off if we used the pumped-out alchohol from your body as a mass disinfectant.

Do we forget the recent Saudi attack. It was warned of in advance.
I do believe those were terrorists who did the bombing mainly because there is no evidence that former soldiers use suicide.

"The interview, according to the article, took place in Iraq, south of Faluja, with five masked men carrying missiles and personal weapons surrounding al-Hijazi."

We have inadvertently armed Al-Qaida. By dismantling Iraq’s' security forces it appears as though we have allowed Al-Qaida to freely cross any border into Iraq and gain access to unguarded weapons dumps. I've seen some pictures of these dumps and there was some pretty good stuff lying out in the open and it wasn't AK's and RPG's

and YOU get the prize. Would you like the big stuffed Osama doll, or the big stuffed Saddam doll?

Did anyone here NOT see this one coming? I mean, really.

And I seem to recall that within two weeks prior to 9/11, some Arabic newspaper warned of "an unprecedented attack upon US interests on US soil". Of course, they went unnoticed....

Things that make you go, "Hmmmmmm....."

It's kind of my stile to post from a position of feigned surprise. But I must admit I did not see were huge, unguarded stockpiles of conventional ammunition lying around for the taking. Now that major combat had restarted you would think they could spend about a week taking these sites out by air. It will be unfortunate for the Iraq's, as they will now need to spend inordinate sums of money to re-arm themselves (courtesy of the US MIC), but since we are loathe to insert more troops of our own and bridges still burn, between our friends it looks like the only solution.

BTW: I don't want either of those prizes, they are for sissies. I my Elite Force Aviator

Ain't "The enemy of our enemy is our friend" a great doctrine to live by?

according to stories a day or two ago.

Maybe the heavy security and limitations on protesotrs is a good idea after all.

Somehow killing Bush protestors doesn't seem like a very "worthy" target.

I would expect any area with a population of 100,000 or more would be a possible target. You might use a WMD in say New York city, but depending on the strength of the WMD and the conditions at the time. (i.e. how populated the area is X miles around the effected region)

Also many variables need to be taken in to account with a WMD. For example a lot of people don't realize that some types of atomic weapons do FAR less damage if they are detonated in non-ideal conditions. For example, wind patterns, a height of detonation, gravity, etc. It could potentially mean the difference of taking out a city block vs multiple city blocks. Some need to be calibrated. This could account for the "up to 100,000" number.

This of course assumes they have a WMD.

Al Qaeda doesn't seem to worry much about how "worthy" its targets are. Consider tourists in Bali, Kenyan civilians walking by our embassies, and Red Cross and UN aid workers in Baghdad. Not many of them are "worthy" by that criteria, but they were still aimed at and murdered.

I'm making no predictions but Bush plus a large crowd of British fits the threat.

Unless * is the one with his finger on the trigger.


Think about that for a minute.

Without corroboration, I'm inclined to think it's the words of a grandstanding blowhard.

grad student for his UN speech?

Welcome to DU!! :toast:

America's Ministry Of Propaganda Exposed
11-10-3 by USAF Colonel (Ret.) Sam Gardiner

"The 56-page investigation was assembled by USAF Colonel (Ret.) Sam Gardiner. "Truth from These Podia: Summary of a Study of Strategic Influence, Perception Management, Strategic Information Warfare and Strategic Psychological Operations in Gulf II" identifies more than 50 stories about the Iraq war that were faked by government propaganda artists in a covert campaign to "market" the military invasion of Iraq.

Gardiner has credentials. He has taught at the National War College, the Air War College and the Naval Warfare College and was a visiting scholar at the Swedish Defense College.

According to Gardiner, "It was not bad intelligence" that lead to the quagmire in Iraq, "It was an orchestrated effort began before the war" that was designed to mislead the public and the world. Gardiner's research lead him to conclude that the US and Britain had conspired at the highest levels to plant "stories of strategic influence" that were known to be false."

...after 9/11 that stuck with me. It was something along the lines of: when you've got an opportunity for a sucker punch, you hit with your best shot on the first swing. You don't save your best stuff for the second, because the guy will have his arms up by then.

At the time this thought comforted me about the rumors that Al Q might have a nuke -- and now, it comforts me again. You don't save your best punch for an opponent who'll have his arms up.

and - honestly - look at the powerlines, the forests, the lakes... if we really had even a single cell of terrorists in this country they'd be having a field day. FUD works as well for Bush* as it does for Osama.

NICE! Feel Safer yet folks? Boy that war on Iraq really helped out didnt it? But then Jeb Bush, Ann Coulter, Pat Robertson and just about any Freeper wishes that the terorrists will attack any place with a lage group of libirals in it..They seem to cheer for the deaths of fellow americans who do not agree with thire wacko right wing ideals.

that was just the stupidest thing a "president" could say.
