From MSNBC, with thanks to Jeff Lastname:
An Internet posting obtained by NBC News — written mostly in Arabic — details how to fire a shoulder-fired missile and how to overcome security measures.NBC terrorism analyst Evan Kohlmann says it was posted five days ago on an Internet location used by Iraq's top terrorist, Abu Musab al-Zarqawi.
"We've seen plenty of material on radical Islamic Web sites dealing with shooting down military aircraft in combat zones," says Kohlmann. "However, this is the first time I've ever seen the deliberate targeting of civilian aircraft leaving U.S. airports."
Morning all.
They may have just posted that info- but you can bet there's a couple years of research behind it, some of it withing the US and various other countries (Russia comes to mind).
And I am off to work. Stay safe, Everyone.

Our patience, forbearance, respect for life circumscribes our actions, we essentially fight with 1 hand tied behind our back. But when things reach a win/lose situation in the war itself, when push comes to shove, you can be sure we'll fight back in your backyard with your rules. Chances are, you won't be taunting then...

Flight 800: Accident Or Terrorist Attack?
P.S. Happy National Atheist day everyone... (Psalm 14:1)
This is an old threat. I think there are three reasons why it hasn't been executed already:
1) It’s difficult to do because America has good security measures in place.
2) As every day passes, the American Islamist political infrastructure is being attacked, eroded, and dismantled piece by piece, making it more difficult for terrorists to set up shop in the states.
3) They know that if they do this, there's a good chance that America will occupy another Muslim country. Plain and simple as that. This is why the tactic of terrorism has a limited shelf life, once it provokes its target into waging outright war against the civilians, cultures and countries the terrorists cherish.
See report on web hosting of terrorists:
http://xtramsn.co.nz/news/0,,11965-4234250,00.html
It is far past time for unrelenting cyber warfare against any and all such terrorist Internet presence. The half-life of such terrorism-inciting websites should be measured in moments, not months. The US military-intelligence complex surely has the wherewithal to execise its technological imperative.
Perhaps they prefer to mine such sites for useful traffic, but IMHO these sites should be denied from the WWW.
donchigago48-
There are reasons to monitor these sites -for as long as they stay up, and to create false ones as 'flyppaper', and to destroy others fast.
What we need more of, along with hacker patriots, are Farsi and Arabic students behind the cyber defenses, whether Defense Language Institute types or in mainstream colleges. It was a policy that needed to be promoted on 9/12/2001, just as Science was suddenly recognized as important after the Soviets launched Sputnik in the late 1950's.
It doesn't appear to have been done from anything I can see.
So we rely on 'naturalized alien' citizens to translate vital materials and monitor these websites, and such "traffic" in general, while their loyalties are often questionable, if not treasonous.
The President of the U.S. is busy worrying about picking Social Security nits when the safety of our nation demands a whole different focus. Securing the borders from daily invasion (disguised under the pacifying rubric "illegal immigration"), cleaning house in the intelligence bureaus, etc. And funding language scholarships by the thousands to get our students up to the same level as our enemies, who learn English as a weapon of the jihad.
We are drifting in a global slumber party, as far as our leadership is showing, and will suffer worse and worse until we get damned serious about the threat.
To quote the phonetic Arabic:

COPTIC MURDERS UPDATE
I know this is off topis but I found some damning information on an islamic website that might connect the Coptic killings to Allah's commands to shun the Kaffur's festivals since Christians are the enemies of Allah.
Below is the JW link to the original story,then I have the link to the Islamic site that refers to Coptic Christians that recognize the January 19th Haraam celebration,but it states that the Coptic calander uses January 11th for their festival.
The article warns muslims of the offensive festivals linked to the Christian version of the Calander,two year ago a Muslim website in Canada was caught posting a warning that it was a sin to
say "Merry Christmas" or shake hands with Christians.
The media ran with the story and suddenly Jesus became a revered Prophet in the Quran and the
posting was a mistake by a new employee,well I found the site that uses the quran and muhammed to aver the claim that Christians are the enemies of Allah and joining in Christian festivals is a sin.
Here's the JW story:

**************************************************
Partial extract from the Islamic site,the rest is at the link below and CAIR will have a hard time denouncing these claims from Muhammed himself and the Quranic verses.
Coptic reference to January 19th or the 11th of Toobah:
The feast of the Epiphany (ghattaas), which is on January 19. For the Copts it is on the eleventh of Toobah. The origin of this festival, according to them, is that Yahyaa ibn Zakariya (peace be upon them both), whom they know as John the Baptist, baptized the Messiah son of Maryam (peace be upon him) in the River Jordan, and when he was washed, the Holy Spirit came upon him. Because of this, the Christians dip their children in water on this day, and all of them immerse themselves in the water. Al-Mas’oodi mentioned that this day – during his time – was a major event in Egypt, attended by thousands of Christians and Muslims, who would bathe in the Nile, believing that this offered protection from sickness and was a healing. This is what is celebrated by the Orthodox churches, but the Catholic and Protestant churches have a different concept of this festival, whereby they commemorate the “adoration of the Magi”, where the three men who came from the east venerated the infant Jesus

Sorry,error message as me to refresh or try again.
Also,the Coptic link is that the murders are believed to have happened aroud january 11th,the
date is from the Baptism of jesus by John in the river jordan.
I still think the murders have a Islamic undertone,whether the goons were muslims or
funded by the Saudis through a local Mosque.
I no longer trust them and if their feelings are hurt,TOUGH.
"However, this is the first time I've ever seen the deliberate targeting of civilian aircraft leaving U.S. airports."
Oh really? What about TWA flight 800??
Evan Kohlmann's book Al Qaida's Jihad in Europe, the Afghan Bosnian Network is a must read also.
Gary, oh Gary, my infantile Gary. What blinders thou hast.
Yes indeed many a "leftist" is a self deluded and traitorous fool, no argument there, but your self righteious ideological fixation on the left ignores the treason on the right.
Apparently treason from the right is acceptable to you.
Stop using Jihad Watch as an ideological springboard.
Why don't you read something besides "Right Wing" web pages. Suggest Paul Sperry's Infiltration: How Muslims Spies and Subversives have infiltrated WAhsingnton He is at least even handed, and documents the betrayals of the likes of John Esposito and Rep Conyers as well as those of GRover Abdullah Norquist, Robert Muhammad Mueller and Karl Ali Rove.
Giaour~ I have yet to see a Left-wing site criticizing these teachers, and calling for reform of what they are doing so that hundreds of thousands of students across the US, among other countries, are Not being indoctrinated in pro-PA, pro-terrorist-as-freedom-fighter, anti-Western, anti-US propaganda.
Care to provide links to those that are?
