Thinking about Usama's suicide message "belly of the eagle". I don't believe the message is "his suicide" (cause he's gone.

I looked at a couple of different things. One was an OLD definition of an eagle: Sea eagle with white head which could possibly provoke an image of a ship .

Another was a story called "The Apples of Hesperides. I found it interesting...especially about the bird and the liver (organ) and the countries mentioned. (It also makes me think of the sniper and his message which HAD to be broadcast.)

The "belly of an eagle" is something new in Usama's text and so soon after the other tape, it makes you wonder...Did they leave something out in the first message?? What does it mean??

Let's pit scumbag against scumbag. We should call up Greenpeace and tell them about the really uncool eco-damage these guys might do.

Then we should promise them that no French Frogmen (now THAT was redundant) would sink their ship this time around - but that they really need to go out and harass these ships - and board them to inspect their cargo that might kill an otter or two.

Didn't phase anybody that neither Rumsfield or Myers had heard anything about it did it? I watched the press conference too and they just sort of laughed it off.

...as far as chem or bio hazards..a large explosion would incinerate anything.....

Yeah... I always thought that many oceans would easily swallow up a few chemicals or biological agents. Seems screwie. Maybe wait until the ships are up wind of Iraq to let them blow?

Even if they were transported in thick lead containers?

Even Superman can't see through those.

This is a standard tactic to avoid taxation of inventory by businesses. Put it in the mail.

Excellent tax advice bump... In the mail it could be gone for months.

...and while Superman is just a figment of someone's imagination, so are these ships.

General Franks couldn't corroborate the story.
Of course, our guys might not want to tip their hand if they have the ships under surveillance, etc. :)

Is Sodamn sodamn paranoid he would put his entire MWD arsenal on these ships to keep the clousseaus from finding it? If so, there is a G*d - because those ships are ours now. Or it could be a decoy etc.

Who knows what is on them. If they had steamed towards the U.S. or one of it's allies, I would suspect Scud missiles with chemical warheads. But they are of little danger to anyone in the middle of the Indian Ocean.

Hmm? I hadn't heard this before. Thanks.

FOX News this week asked about if Iraq could have 'exported' some of their WMD's and the answer was 'no', but who knows? Anything is possible.
