How about this news

[egarvue]

Uh, huh. And I anticipate Catherine Zeta-Jones coming to bed with me tonight. Both predicitions have about the same chance of occurring...

[HamiltonJay]

Yadda Yadda Yadda......

Sounds like North Korea throwing their Nuke Attack temper tantrum.

Face it, they are terrorists, if they truly were going to attack they wouldn't be announcing it to the world, they would just do it and then celebrate after the fact....

THere is one thing the arab world is good at, and that basically making threats and blowing hot air.

Well let's hope your right.

Following a thorough investigation, it became perfectly clear to us that the people living there were at least 300 Americans and a large group of Lebanese Christians who had tortured Muslims there, in Lebanon, during the civil war.

I wasn't aware that the Saudi regime routinely housed Lebanese Christian foreigners.

[RetiredArmy]

Al-Hijazi also said: "There is no doubt that the demise of America and its collapse . . .

And your friends down at the DNC want these guys?!?!??! to win!!!?!?!?!? Guess I better hit the gun shop this weekend and purchase a few more boxes of my favorite ammo.

Well, when Ramadan ends, we'll know whether or not this prediction was true. When does Ramadan end?

When asked about the recent bombing in Riyadh, Al-Hijazi referred to Saudi media reports — which claimed that in the attack Muslim women and children were killed — as "merely media deceit."

Yes. I guess those dead children were actually child actors from Hollywood, who were just playing dead.

When asked about the recent bombing in Riyadh, Al-Hijazi referred to Saudi media reports — which claimed that in the attack Muslim women and children were killed — as "merely media deceit." He added: "This place was under surveillance for many months. Following a thorough investigation, it became perfectly clear to us that the people living there were at least 300 Americans and a large group of Lebanese Christians who had tortured Muslims there, in Lebanon, during the civil war. After consultation, we decided it was appropriate to attack this place and destroy it, including the people who lived there, because it housed Americans and a large majority of Christians holding Lebanese citizenship.

This guy isn't afraid to use the "C" word.

The Saudis went out of their way to find a Koran in the rubble and pose it for a picture with "Jordanian passports." Message intended - not only Christians died.

Certainly Muslims died, say the guards, maybe some residents. But I read a Lebanese paper on the net that not only were Lebanese targeted, that within the compound the Lebanese mostly concentrated in one part, and that was the part specifically attacked.

When does Ramadan end?

Next New Moon (11-23)

[aristeides]

Do we know for a fact that the children and other people killed in Riyadh included Moslems? (There's been a lot of evidence suggesting that many or most of them were Lebanese Christian Arabs.) The Saudis might just be claiming that the dead included Moslems for propaganda purposes.

[StatesEnemy]

Anyone happen to know our current color code?

Surprising how we don't hear about oranges and yellows anymore...

[Shermy]

Yes. I guess those dead children were actually child actors from Hollywood, who were just playing dead.

What he means is the "deceit" was the Saudi govt. saying that Muslims died, not that people died.

It was an anti-Christian (Arab) attack.

This fact is not unknown in the Arab press, but the Western one likes to push the theory that since some Americans lived there back in 1999, AQ really meant to attack Americans, and was merely mistaken.

[Mark]

Sort of sounds similar to lib Democrats who said we will need a million body bags as we went to Iraq.

[Az Joe]

Ramadan will begin on October 26, 2003 for all of the United States. The last day of Ramadan will be November 23, 2003.

[KarlInOhio]

When does Ramadan end?

The new moon is on the 23rd. The next Islamic month begins a couple of days later when the moon is seen again.

[headsonpikes]

These people are much like Southern Baptists, I read on another thread. ;^)

[jerseygirl]

They are going to look terribly stupid if all of this is bluster.

[RightWhale]

100,000 dead and 279,900,000 terminally annoyed Americans. Terminal, as in Alqaida.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

In a way I almost wish this would happen, because it would present us with the military mandate to wipe Islamofascists from the face of the earth.

Exterminating them would be easy.

It's pretending that we need to distinguish the rabid Islamofascists from the merely psychotic Islamofascists that makes the job of controlling them so hard.
