Dupe entry: General Says Terrorism Triple Witching Time In September
2007-08-25
(via Debka)

Brigadier General Richard Sherlock, deputy director for operational planning for the Pentagon's Joint Chiefs of Staff, said Friday that terrorists and insurgents may use coincident sixth anniversary of the September 11, 2001 attacks on the United States, the onset of Ramadan, and the much-awaited US progress report to accelerate attacks in Iraq.
An unconfirmed report says that some unidentified individual has made a $700M PUT order for Standard and Poor's Depository Receipts (SPY), for mid-September. If the S&P 500 crashed, they could make perhaps $2B.

It is strongly suggested in this article that this was a strong warning that he could do the same in September.

#1  Hmm. $700M put at high risk to get $2B? Seems wrong to me.
