Holy crap! Read this interview with Joseph Farah. It's official:
Edited on Tue Aug-02-05 04:22 AM by ithinkmyliverhurts
the inmates are running the asylum. http://frontpagemagazine.com/Articles/ReadArticle.asp?ID=18986
Topic of interview: Al Qaeda nukular attack on the US.

If it weren't hosted at Frontpagemagazine, I would believe it to be complete parody--and a brilliant one at that. It's like a bad 80's movie of the week gone really bad.

Here's a gem:
"FP: This scenario and information is all truly horrifying. Is there anything you can tell us that would give us grounds for optimism? Is there any hope? What can be done to prevent an American Hiroshima from transpiring, for by the evidence you present, it seems inevitable.

Farah: Pray very hard.

FP: I hear you Mr. Farah. I would never dismiss prayer – for gizzillions of reasons. But apart from prayer, my friend, what can we do? This seems so hopeless because I want to suggest that we announce that mutually assured destruction will come into effect immediately if we are hit, but then. . . .who the hell do we target in a revenge attack? We can’t blow up a city of the enemy because there is no city of the enemy and as a civilized democracy we simply can’t do anything of this nature. Or can we? Must we make some kind of barbarian threats that might deter these terrorists? I can’t see how because, unlike the communists, they aren’t even interested in self-preservation anyway. They want to die. This is truly depressing. Do you have any suggestions besides the counsel to pray?"

3. Kind of makes you wonder about the wisdom of going into Iraq
I noticed that he did not try to justify the Iraq War on the basis that it would prevent all this from happening.

5. it's citing the WND guy, so mostly bunk
People are putting a lot more credence in a nuclear MIHOP than this.

6. I thought FrontPageMagazine.com WAS parody.
Crazy people are entertaining, I love reading the comments about the articles on that site. Pure comedy.

8. The "Discover the network" database is comic genius.
I love reading it and just giggling. I've cried laughing so hard.

10. Jeez - I hadn't even seen that before.
The funniest thing about it is that I think they are serious.

Anything Horowitz is involved in is usually good for a laugh.

I remember seeing him on Politically Incorrect one time, where he got schooled by a University student. She was rattling off facts and figures of history to back up her viewpoint and he couldn't come up with anything to dispute what she had said. He's not very effective in a live debate - I think he should avoid getting into one if at all possible. (Although it is funny.)

7. Aug. 6...Well then Bolton was appointed just in time...
FP: What are Al Qaeda's prime targets? Why?

Farah: Again, according to captured documents and captured al-Qaida leaders -- and some defectors -- the plans are to detonate multiple nuclear weapons in major U.S. cities -- either all at once or over a period of days. You can guess most of the prime targets -- New York, Washington, Philadelphia, Chicago, Los Angeles, etc. The only surprise, according to my sources, is that al-Qaida's list is not based on the cities with the most population. The list is based on where most American Jews live. So you see some cities like Miami and Las Vegas and San Francisco on the list. Dates are very important to al-Qaida, as we have come to know, and one of the dates mentioned in connection with this "American Hiroshima" plan is Aug. 6, the anniversary of the U.S. nuclear attack on Hiroshima in 1945. No year has been set, but it is worth noting that this Aug. 6th is the 60th anniversary of that attack.

9. Fun with numbers.
And August is the 8th month. See? 8th month minus the 6th day = 2. 2 for 2nd attack on US soil.
