#1 I will repeat nyself: For starters: nothing like getting rid of one or two mullahs and one or two bankers in S. Arabia.

#2 The blame is squarely on the UN for turning a blind eye to the mounting terrorist infrastructure in that area. They basically made this crap acceptable -- to the world -- by being paleo apologists/supporters/enablers and whoring themselves to the opec crowd and US/Israel bashers.

Of course, any attacks on Israel will be met with swiftly and decisively. Now, however, Egypt and Jordan will have to contend with them as well. More muslim on muslim killing.

They will reap what they have sown.

#3 The paths leading up to peaks â some as tall as 7,500 ft - are barricaded by huge rocks under which explosive snares are concealed.
If Al Qeda can keep people from going up, why can't Egypt keep them from coming down, or up to feed them or supply them.
We need to make the people who let them live with them pay a price for this stupidity.

#4 Keep in mind that Al Qaeda was formed in part out of the more radical wing of the Egyptian Moslem Brotherhood.

Zarq wants Jordan downed; others want the same for Egypt. And, to quote Tom Lehrer's satirical song National Brotherhood Week, "everybody hates the Jews".

Oh what the heck, here are the full lyrics with his spoken intro:

One week of every year is designated National Brotherhood Week. This is just one of many such weeks honoring various worthy causes. One of my favorites is National Make-fun-of-the-handicapped Week which Frank Fontaine and Jerry Lewis are in charge of as you know. During National Brotherhood Week various special events are arranged to drive home the message of brotherhood. This year, for example, on the first day of the week Malcolm X was killed which gives you an idea of how effective the whole thing is. I'm sure we all agree that we ought to love one another and I know there are people in the world that do not love their fellow human beings and I hate people like that. Here's a song about National Brotherhood Week.

Oh, the white folks hate the black folks,
And the black folks hate the white folks.
To hate all but the right folks
Is an old established rule.

But during National Brotherhood Week, National Brotherhood Week,
Lena Horne and Sheriff Clarke are dancing cheek to cheek.
It's fun to eulogize
The people you despise,
As long as you don't let 'em in your school.

Oh, the poor folks hate the rich folks,
And the rich folks hate the poor folks.
All of my folks hate all of your folks,
It's American as apple pie.

But during National Brotherhood Week, National Brotherhood Week,
New Yorkers love the Puerto Ricans 'cause it's very chic.
Step up and shake the hand
Of someone you can't stand.
You can tolerate him if you try.

Oh, the Protestants hate the Catholics,
And the Catholics hate the Protestants,
And the Hindus hate the Moslems,
And everybody hates the Jews.

But during National Brotherhood Week, National Brotherhood Week,
It's National Everyone-smile-at-one-another-hood Week.
Be nice to people who
Are inferior to you.
It's only for a week, so have no fear.
Be grateful that it doesn't last all year!

#5 Does anyone know when Debka File has ever proven to be right? I mean, it always sounds so damn thorough and inside but I can't ever remember when one of their little G2 nuggets ever turned out to be true or even close to relevant.

#6 Daniel 11:42-45 He will extend his power over many countries; Egypt will not escape. He will gain control of the treasures of gold and silver and all the riches of Egypt, with the Libyans and Nubians in submission. But reports from the east and the north will alarm him, and he will set out in a great rage to destroy and annihilate many. He will pitch his royal tents between the seas at (or and) the beautiful holy mountain. Yet he will come to his end, and no one will help him.

I'm not sure who 'He' is, but I hope we have some satellites over this area between the Eastern and Western seas, as we have been forewarned!
