Tin foil hat anyone?
Since Al-Zwahiri just told us:

"Hasn't Sheik Osama bin Laden told you that you will not dream of security before there is security in Palestine and before all the infidel armies withdraw from the land of Muhammad?" al-Zawahri said.

"Instead (of accepting the truce), you spilled blood like rivers in our countries and we exploded the volcanoes of wrath in your countries."


and tomorrow is the 60th anniversary of Hiroshima, is anyone else just a bit concerned that the 'American Hiroshima' that's been described by Al Qaeda captives may be coming tomorrow?

2. there are numerous other signs of impending MIHOP
Lots of people were freaked out about those long before "al-Zawahiri" showed up in a studio to play Emmanuel Goldstein for 2 minutes.

27. oh, they're all over the place
1. Bushler's poll numbers in the toilet
2. Cheney drawing up plans to nuke Iran
3. nuclear terrorism exercises in South Carolina
4. chemical terrorism exercises in NYC
5. Iranian oil bourse to trade oil for Euros in early 2006
6. Bushler releases staged Emmanuel Goldstein (al Qaeda) video

There are others, but I'm not a student of these things per se.

3. Something to freak you out even more...
<<SNIP>>
http://www.wstm.com/global/story.asp?s=3686649&ClientType=Printable

Newspaper says Madrid bombers chose date a day after bin Laden threat

MADRID, Spain A Spanish newspaper reports investigators think the Madrid train bombers chose the date of the attack a day after Osama bin Laden threatened the country.

El Pais (pah-EES') says authorities believe the selection came after bin Laden's October 2003 threat against Spain and other countries with troops in Iraq.

<</SNIP>>

So what will this warning trigger?

16. Count me in

Also Bush's approval rating is down to 38%. We all know what happened the last time his approval rating was that low.

18. Acutally the exact time the bomb fell in Hiroshima
is 8/5/1945 at 8:15pm est.

So we should be safe after 9pm tonight.

26. Here it is
Edited on Fri Aug-05-05 03:07 PM by MadisonProgressive
I just rechecked -

(The bomb struck at 8:15 a.m., which is 7:15 p.m. Friday EDT.)

So it's 8/6 8:15am in Japan; 8/5 7:15pm in New York.

19. They also need a catastrophic reason for the sheeple to
come back to the flock and give them the big thumbs up to invade iran.... and potentially start up the draft...

Bolton is in place
Negroponte is intelligence chief
Condilieza in place.....
Cheney calling for the development and use of tactical nukes from his bunker and Bush on vacation in august...

I don't like to be a tin foil hatter, but the stars are certainly in alignment, but as another poster said, what can you do?

22. I can't imagine Al Queda making an attack on a Saturday
Edited on Fri Aug-05-05 02:00 PM by IanDB1
It would make more sense if they chose a weekday when people are crowded into the large cities for the work week.

Unless there's a super-major event on the same scale as the G8 Summit, Superbowl, or something happening that day.

Then again, if a nuclear bomb went off in Crawford, how many people would actually get hurt?

And who will be visiting Bush's Pig Farm on August 6th?
