#1 "wipes out". Where have I heard that before? No wait, it was "wipe off"

Should we buy more stock in baby wipes? I sold mine after the death of Arafat.

Too bad the headline doesn't appear in any of the quoted material. "Exterminate" has such an appealing sound to it.

#3 IJ is a proxy for Iran. Good thing. Strong message.

#4 If "Jihad" is peaceful inner struggle, why is this terrorist group named Islamic Jihad. Shouldn't this end the debate on the meaning of the word in their own choice of name.

What a bunch of nancy-boys.

#5 I would imagine Iran has contingency plans for covert ops to commit terror worldwide via Hizbollah and IJ once a war starts. Makes sense for Israel to wipe out IJ prior to carrying out an attack on Iran.

#7 Pak Daily Times seems to have a new webmaster, who uses backslashes ("\") in the URLs, which HTML sees as escape characters. You can switch them to regular slashes ("/") and the links'll work. If I get time, I'll train the 'burg to fix them when articles are published.

#8 rumor in Israel is that the PA is giving the Israelis intel for use against IJ because the PA is itself scared of being an IJ target

I would call that a sure bet, hell the Iranian pres at the last conference admitted such

http://regimechangeiran.blogspot.com/2005/10/why-havent-we-seen-this.html

they have identified memory ehhh 22-29 targets in the US that are critical. And since Iran has no other weapons or even on the drawing board to reach the homefront exept Terrorist is self explainitory.

One bright side is thou I really hope the US intel people have been identifying these guys and everyone they talk to for immediate round up pre-invasion. I do remember right before our move on Saddam we rounded up Iraqi's all over the place or at least had our allies scoop them up. Never heard much of that on the ME but the occasional embasy closing or staff being deported or arrested, but I would garantee Saddam had plans for those guys too. We will have to see.

What I am really curious about is Baby Assad,Syria. This is a major deciding factor. Syria can go alot of different ways from turning into ally sweeping the terrorist Zark, Hamas, Islamic Jihad, various other factions finding safe harbor thier, unfortunatley I see this as unlikly at least under Assad maybe he is taken out by a new blood who is ready to make that jump even thou these two senerios have a good chance into deteriating into choas civil war all the terrorist groups making power grabs spill over into neighbobrs would be soon to follow. I know if I was Zark I would be thinking Syria a set up infastructure weak leadership ripe for conquest or at least good choas would be looking a lot better than Iraq were things are going south fast, Syria would keep the Iraq front open by in essence expanding that front to Damascas were in Syria gaining control in the chaos that would follow a coup and all terrorist groups making power grabs very possible. Not to mention Iran must really be thinking about getting thier proxies to get something going the pressure will soon be turning to them if not.
