Since we don't know the specifics of the message(s) intercepted, all we have to speculate from is what little was released, along with what we know about AQ. One thing I have heard from several sources that have seen the messages is that the plot would be large or massive. This could mean one spectacular attack as was 9/11, or many simultaneous attacks in different locations, with the sum of the attacks being large. We are also told that AQ has some sort of "media plan" for after the event(s) so that it can be replayed on every TV all...

BENGHAZI, Libya (Reuters) - A man was killed in an overnight attack on police in Libya's eastern city of Benghazi and their station was later set on fire in a possible act of revenge for the killing, police sources said on Wednesday. The army deployed additional forces to Benghazi after a car loaded with explosives blew up near a hospital on Monday, killing three people.

A world without nuclear weapons is the vision, no matter whose. I support our President and applaud his efforts. Obama got a Nobel Peace Prize for this- its all good. Well, I DO think that we need his vision! Any and all efforts to bring about a world without nuclear weapons are important! Unless Israel stops it's nuclear weapons program, no one on earth will feel safe. We call for Iran to stop it's nuclear program, while Israel keep making hundreds of nuclear weapns!!!

"The Taliban will say things like why do you side with the Americans? Why do you sell out your country? You love Obama more than Afghanistan."

Oslo, Oct 9, 2009 - The Nobel Peace Prize commission today made the startling declaration that President Barack Hussein Obama is in fact the long-awaited Fifth Element, completing the four existing elements of Earth, Wind, Fire and Water. As President Obama takes his place on the Fifth Pedestal, it is widely expected that a blinding beam of light will shoot out of his mouth, which will reverse the advance of global warming and warring. The commission once erroneously thought that ex-President Jimmy Carter was the Fifth Element, but when placed on the pedestal, only blinding ignorance came out of his...

The polls are open. Let's do it! Don't let Democrats reach critical mass! Please make time before or after work. Turnout is the key. Elections are the times when our activism can really get things done...or not.

My New Year's resolutions so far are: 1- To get a job. It's becoming series. 2- To go fishing and hunting this year. 3- If I don't get a job, concentrate on fishing and hunting, and building polygons with Magnetix. 4- Not to post vanities.

Video is less than a minute long, well worth the time to watch.

Interesting comments both pro and con, some of the most adoring coming from Americans and Canadians. We hope you get your nuclear power plant!

"The suicide bomber detonated his explosives, which were equivalent to 12,000 pounds (about 5,400 kg) of TNT. The force of the explosion collapsed the four-story cinder-block building into rubble, crushing many inside. It is said by a U.S. federal district court judge to have been the largest non-nuclear blast ever (deliberately) detonated on the face of the Earth."

MORE kangaroos should be slaughtered and eaten to help save the world from global warming, environmental activists say.

Most of the networks that we rely on for city life—communications, electricity, transportation, water—are overused, interdependent, and extremely complex. ...In practice, this means that a very small number of attacks on the critical hubs of a scale-free network can collapse the entire network.

Around half a million people pass through Altar every year before the dangerous walk northward. With few activities other than helping migrants, Altar offers services from money transfers and doctors to people smuggling and prostitution.

Sorry for the shameless vanity, but I was just outside in the back yard in Northern Georgia, and an incredibly bright light illuminated the dark yard like an arc lamp. I looked up and saw a meteor streaking overhead, white hot, which then broke up into orange, glowing fragments. This happened at 10:21PM EST. I apologize for posting something random like this, but it was astonishing. Perhaps it was a piece of space junk that reentered the atmosphere tonight. Did anyone else see this? It was truly spectacular.

President Says He Believes Muslims and Christians Pray to Same God "I think we do. We have different routes of getting to the Almighty," Bush said. "But I want you to understand, I want your listeners to understand, I don't get to get decide who goes to heaven. The Almighty God decides who goes to heaven and I am on my personal walk," he said. "I don't think this is a religious war. I think this is a war between evil people that are willing to kill on a mass scale; people that would like to end up with weapons...

Whereas it is the duty of all nations to acknowledge the providence of Almighty God, to obey His will, to be grateful for His benefits, and humbly to implore His protection and favor; and Whereas both Houses of Congress have, by their joint committee, requested me "to recommend to the people of the United States a day of public thanksgiving and prayer, to be observed by acknowledging with grateful hearts the many and signal favors of Almighty God, especially by affording them an opportunity peaceably to establish a form of government for their safety and happiness": Now, therefore, I do...

A frightening haul of guns, rifles and crossbows containing enough firepower to supply a small army...what is even more terrifying is that, until several weeks ago, these weapons were sitting in British homes...officers from Greater Manchester Police collected 430 guns and a staggering 2,500 rounds of ammunition.
