| Bin Laden Tape A Signal to Strike |
| 2002-11-18 |
| David Warren addresses Canadian attitudes towards the war on terror. His column also contains the tidbit below on recent traffic analysis. ...Since the [Canadian]government is incapable of telling you the truth, let me tell you. In the moments leading to and from the release of that audiotape, the CIA was able to detect a large increase in traffic between Internet servers at suspicious locations. For the last two weeks, it has monitored the highest volume of likely Islamist traffic since it began to listen. Security services in Germany, France, Britain, Italy, Australia and the U.S. are on hyper-alert from fresh evidence in each country that large-scale attacks will be attempted in the near future. There are emergency preparations for civil defence and medical facilities. The broadcast of that tape was not a "clue", but the very signal to prepare and launch new strikes. And the countries listed were the countries in which the strikes will be attempted. Even the timing and motivation is explained -- on the tape itself. The current offensive is a last-ditch attempt to run interference for the regime of Saddam Hussein in Iraq. The so-called "experts" who claim it was not Osama speaking, because he did not make his traditional distance from Iraq's "secular" regime, have missed the point: the very omission was an acknowledgement that they are now in alliance. Warren points out that Canadian appeasment makes Canada more, not less, vulnerable. He then goes on to speculate about the effects of a terror attack on the Canadian electorate. |

| #2 If it happens, one thing is for sure. We'll get to see how President Cretin blames it on Bush. |

| #1 Based upon the last sets of attacks, I agree about Canada. Why attack the French and the Indonesians, who were hardly enemies of Islamofacism? So, Canada, you're up. Take it like a hoser, eh? |
