Hi CB. It always surprises me that people take what seems obviously a joke or hoax seriously. The language was out of whack for a start. I suppose people have such contempt for and lack of empathy for how Osama and co are that they really have no idea on what thought processes probably go on in their heads. Osama and co are not crazy [in the normal sense of needing mental treatment - though they need a reality adjustment, probably of a permanent nature]. They aren't irrational either [although they kill themselves in aircraft and hope to be martyrs and believe in some unprovable supernatural hypothesis to support mayhem]. No more so than most normal blundering homo sapiens. Hey, even you got sucked into thinking I thought that the photovoltaic wings hold the Globalstar satellites up! What does that say for what you think/thought of my ability to think/understand what's going on? Life's a giggle. Mqurice [been known to be gullible too]

Yes CB it is a hoax. But read all of it and throw out the crap. The strategy is beautiful in its simplicity, pure in its motivation by hatred of the USA and entirly consistent with everything I have read that is advocated and threatened by al Qaeda. It is true I think they give not a sh*t about the Kyoto Accord. They do care about infidels being on their holy wasteland. A jar full of vipers, capsules of cyanide, dynamite caps and US Double Eagles is not empty of gold. The part about the dollar is not completely without merit. Our manufacturing base is going south of the TX/MEX border. Forgive us our paranoia. It has absolutley no basis in fact, experience, history, or islamic fundamentalist modus operandi. It is ALL unfounded nonsense. jim black
