#1 Would the 'handlers' be in cellphone communications from PakiLand like the Mumbai attack, too? Or would they be from Yemen?

Which has the better cellphone carriers?

#2 Wonder where they got that idea. I'm sure TSA would respond by making sure the killing zone wouldn't be cleared by allowing people to take any escape route like towards the gates, not that the airport would have been locked down anyway with an attack.

#3 Among the possible targets

This may be speculation, as we did here yesterday (I think it was Besoeker that mentioned airports...), as opposed to based on actual chatter. Mr. Wife is flying to Germany tomorrow, so I'll let y'all know if he notices anything interesting.

I am sure you will. However, with the sun sinking in the West, and with the crescent and the star clearly on the rise (link), fueled by the energy of Satan himself, tell us what banner or standard can deflect the tragedies of that will ensue upon the West when God is silenced in the West. Then star within the crescent moon shall become His "rod of My anger, and My staff of indignation" against the West. Sparing through His Grace only those who live by faith and by the creed "In God We Trust".

#5 HMMMMM, I'm not convinced on this one, as IMO MEXICO'S TROUBLES = CENTRAL-SOUTH AMERICAN PORTS are more vulnerable at this time to MilTerr infiltration + Terrstrike than the Airports of NATO-EU Nations, vee COLD WAR "ATTACKING WHERE THE A STRONG ENEMY = US-NATO/ALLIES ARE NOT".

IMO the only reason to attack NATO Airports or Other EU at this time would be as a DIVERSION/COVER FOR A LARGER TERRSTRIKE OPER(S) ELSEWHERE. Iff the Milterrs in AFPAK are truly weakened as US INTEL repor believes, then by extens to conduct such LARGE "MUMBAI-STYLE/26-11" TERRSTRIKES would be to use up what defensive reserves the MilTerrs have left, espec as per LOGISTICS FACTORS [3M's + 1 = Men, $$$, Materiel, + Mode of Trasportation]???

IFf THESE ATTACKS OCCUR, IT COULD BE A SIGN THAT US INTEL HAS BADLY UNDERESTIMATED THE MILTERR'S CAPACITIES TO CONDUCT TERROPS, NOT A GOOD THING IFF IRAN DOES GO WEAPONS NUKULAAR COME 2012.

#6 wr, we here at Rantburg are fighting in small ways and big (in my case very, very small) against the jihadis, as are a great many others both in and out of uniform, including those Muslims who really, really don't want to live under Sharia law. Everything we do to not surrender, even so little as using fewer petroleum products to keep a few pennies out of the pockets of the OPEC governments, is something.

On the subject of the jihadis being God's rod of punishment, I am, as I have mentioned more than a few times, my mother survived the Holocaust and my father was of the founding generation of Israel. If God has a problem with my faith or my behaviour, He damned well better talk to me personally about it right now, instead of punishing all the good people of the world. If you are the one He has a problem with, my answer is the same. The God I believe in would not be so evil.

But God is not the question here. Stopping evil in its tracks so that good can flourish is. In that battle, no matter how small my part, I will never surrender, even if the rest of the world does.
