LOL

See what you started wrangell76?
I bet you though you could actually have an intelligent discussion about the actual subject matter you posted, didn't you?



OK, I'll stop teasing and attempt to actually discuss it with you.

AQ has been seriously degraded in the last couple of years. They've become too weak now to pull of anything big in the U.S., IMO. In fact, they will be hard pressed to pull anything big in Pakistan.

Their
attempts to do anything but put out threatening videos have failed miserably for quite some time now, and have become laughable.

Their successful operations seem to be limited to small suicide bombings and kidnappings.

As for the video itself, the one interesting thing I see is the pictures of individuals. Most of them are easily recognized, but one person is not. Some folks are speculating that this is a picture of Adnan al-Shukrijumah, who is supposed to be in-charge of a nuke attack on the U.S. for AQ. Doesn't look like him to me though. Anybody recognize the person in that pic?

{edit} P.S. Forgot to mention my utter distain for any ABC "Intelligence sources". Backtrack on their "sources" stories, and you'll see why.

Meh, what's new? America will be hit by another attack at some point. The invasions of Afganistan and Iraq have most likely set in motion plans for an attack bigger than 9-11. Remember it took 8 years from the original attack on the towers for there to be another one it's only been 6 since the 1st invasion. Just be prepared to deal with it when it happens, and don't let your 'leaders' take your remaining freedoms. I worry for the American people, i really do.


Riiight... al Qaida was just going to launch a "little" attack on America. But when we invaded Afghanistan and Iraq, they changed their plans and decided to launch an even bigger attack.

You can argue about the war creating more terrorists or making us less safe, but to allege that our invasions of Iraq and Afghanistan are likely to cause "...an attack bigger than 9-11." is pretty absurd. If al Qaida wanted to launch an attack on a greater scale than that of September 11th, than they'd have done that regardless of our reaction 9/11. Do you really think that we're dealing with idiots who don't think more than one step ahead? I'm sure they already knew what their next few targets were going to be before the first plane even flew into the WTC. They have the next several decades planned out as far as strategy, targets, etc.

I'm fed up with this mentality that we're in some part responsible for the atrocities that these radicals committ against innocent civilians. We didn't even respond to the attack on the USS Cole, yet they followed it up with 9/11. So what does that tell you about your theory? They're going to try and kill as many Americans as possible whether we invade the entire Middle East or just bury our heads in the sand in fear.

what do you think is the meaning of the SUV, or the image of that one unidentified guy?

If that unidentified guy turns out to be
Mohamad Kamal Elzahabi, it would dramatically change the view on the Minneapolis bridge collapse, wouldn't it? However, I don't know what Mohamad Kamal Elzahabi looks like. He just happened to be on trial in Minneapolis on terror charges the same day of the bridge collapse. But the guy in that video does look a bit like Adnan al-Shukrijumah though. I'm not convinced it's him, but it could be...

A Related Article
The advertisement for the forthcoming video was signed by As-Sahab, the multimedia branch of Al-Qaida, and was expected to be an important release on a major recent attack, two US-based terrorism monitoring groups said.


Does thtat mean the whole video is supposed to be released AFTER a major attack that has YET to happen?

I thought this, but then I heard there was construction work going on under the bridge.....

and that cracks in welds etc had been reported up to 2yrs prior?

Plus if you have explosives or means to destroy such a large bridge, why not do it to something a lil more excessive of people?
I think only 4ppl died 'officially' and 20 are still missing...

just my opinion...

The link to the video is in the
ABC news article in your first post.

Just below the third paragraph the link says:
See the Al Qaeda Web Ad Captured by ABC News

Here is the direct link to the video

Here is the SUV. I note the back window is greyed out, no license plate, and I'm not sure about the vehicle make, or the location. Is that a bridge or a building in the background?
