#3 But seriously, folks, we need to offer this guy and some of his trusted associates a life of luxury in suburban Virginia if they will just hand over the nukes before the barbarians smash the gates.

#6 Security forces quickly raided a nearby home with anti-aircraft guns on the roof...

You'd have thought that would have been noticeable before they opened up.

Though, I guess in Pakistan, having heavy weapons on the roof is just considered Islamic.

#8 Anyone else feel like AQ has something big in the pipeline? We got the Zark video, the bombings in the UK, Red Mosque thingy, and now an attempt on Mush. Definitely feels like something ominous is on the way.

Fwiw, I've seen a bunch of rental vans pulled over during the past week on my commute to work and it seems like something is definitely going on behind the scenes.

#9 Wait -- what?? What kind of rental vans, and where were you driving, NickVtx? Iraq, Afghanistan, Virginia, San Diego? I haven't noticed any rental vans driving in Cincinnati, but I'm pretty sure my not noticing is as intended.

#11 Wait...my wife and I rented a pickup truck to move some appliances this week...does that make us terrorists TOO? (she's gonna be really pissed if it does) :)

back on the Pakistani topic...Musharraf may be a thug, but he's OUR thug!! While it would be nice to have John Adams running that country, it aint gonna happen. Given that, I prefer to have someone running it who ISN'T trying to wipe US out...and that means Prez. Pervez

#13 Musharraf may be a thug, but he's OUR thug!!

Wishful thinking at best and delusional at worst. Musharraf runs with the fox and hunts with the hounds. He has played America for a gigantic fool while clutching the reins of power in Pakistan. He's nobody's friend but his own. If I knew for certain that Bush still had the spine to confiscate Pakistan's nuclear weapons, I'd just about cap the sucker myself. Perv is going to go, I just hope our administration is courageous enough to strip out Pakistan's atomic weapons when it happens. Pakistan is second only to Iran on the list of dangerous Islamic countries.

#15 re # 8 Nick: I think we will see something; i am not convinced that there was only those 8 idiots running around only the UK last week. If you give the Goldman Sachs story any credibility, stand by.
