U.S. OFFICIALS: AL QAEDA PLANS MAJOR ASSASSINATION; BIN LADEN WILL SIGNAL ATTACK

U.S. intelligence officials say a high-profile political assassination, triggered by the public release of a new message from Osama bin Laden, will lead off the next major al Qaeda terrorist attack, the WASHINGTON TIMES has learned.

The assassination plan is among new details of al Qaeda plots disclosed by U.S. officials familiar with intelligence reports who, speaking on condition of anonymity, said the killing could be carried out against a U.S. or foreign leader either in the United States or abroad.

The new details of al Qaeda's plans were found on a laptop computer belonging to arrested al Qaeda operative Muhammad Naeem Noor Khan of Pakistan, Bill Gertz is set to report in a page one blockbuster.

'We're talking about planning at the screwdriver level,' one official said. 'It is very detailed.'

1. Well, * has a pluto transit coming up in his chart, so....who knows n/t

[Emillereid]

5. Wasn't there an old Indian curse concerning Presidents in '00 years?

[Maddy McCall]

10. Never have heard of that...

and that's my specialty.

But if someone knows of this, I would love to hear about it.

[Emillereid]

15. Here's something about the curse.

Tecumseh’s Curse

After the historical battle of Tippecanoe in 1811, legend has it that the Shawnee Indian Chief, Tecumseh, sent General William Henry Harrison, via released prisoners, a message… a prophecy that history justifiably labeled, 'Tecumseh's Curse':



"'Harrison will not win this year to be the Great Chief. But he may win next year. If he does...He will not finish his term. He will die in his office.' 'No president has ever died in office,' declared a visitor. 'But Harrison will die I tell you. And when he dies you will remember my brother Tecumseh's death. You think that I have lost my powers. I who caused the sun to darken and Red Men to give up firewater. But I tell you Harrison will die. And after him, every Great Chief chosen every 20 years thereafter will die. And when each one dies, let everyone remember the death of our people.'"



In the year 2000, another election occurs in a 'zero year.' Does a danger of death lurk for a President elected this year? Does it follow that we should be scrutinizing vice-presidential candidates as likely candidates for President?



In 1840, the sinister presidential death cycle foretold by Shawnee Chief, Tecumseh, began and every sitting President elected in a year ending in zero died in office, except for President Ronald Reagan who luckily survived, but still endured a serious assassination attempt.....

[Maddy McCall]

41. Hmmm...I'll have to look at some of my books on Tecumseh.

That's an intriguing legend. Thanks. :-)

[k in IA]

17. Yes, but I can't quite remember it. Kennedy - 1960, Reagan - 1980

(At least assassination attempts). What are the other dates?

[starroute]

26. Not all assassinations

This is from memory, but . . .

1840 - Harrison. I think he's the one who delivered the longest inaugural address ever in bitter cold and died a month later of pneumonia.

1860 - Lincoln. Assassinated

1880 - Garfield, I think. Shot by a disappointed office-seater.

1900 - McKinley. Also assassinated, I think by an anarchist.

1920 - Harding. Natural Causes.

1940 - Roosevelt. Natural causes.

1960 - JFK.

1980 - Reagan.

[WMliberal]

28. yup, garfield is right

the assassin went to shake the president's hand at a Buffalo, NY train station and pulled a gun. he exclaimed "I'm a Stalwart, and Arthur is President" and shot the president at point blank range.

[kskiska]

60. Great book on Garfield's assassination

"Dark Horse," fairly recent.
Right now I'm reading one on McKinley's assassination, "Murdering McKinley," by Eric Rauchway. That was a political assassination, too, like Garfield's, and it did change things. It ushered in the Progressive era with Teddy Roosevelt.

[TankLV]

98. At the Pan American Exposition, not a train station.

Garfield was shot at the Washington DC train station.

[dflprincess]

100. McKinley was the one shot in Buffalo

I remember seeing info on his assassination at the History Museum there.

[k in IA]

30. You are right. Thanks.

[Cooley Hurd]

79. Good thing Robert Todd Lincoln isn't campaigning for Chimpo...

Robert Todd Lincoln was in close proximity of three out of 4 presidential assassinations (his father, Garfield and McKinley)...

http://members.aol.com/RVSNorton/Lincoln41.html

<snip>
Robert Lincoln, the President's son, was in the White House when his father was shot. On July 2, 1881, Robert was with President James A. Garfield at Washington's Baltimore and Potomac Railroad Station when the President was shot by assassin Charles J. Guiteau. In his own words, Robert reached the stricken Garfield within 15 seconds of the shooting. Finally, on September 6, 1901, when President William McKinley was shot by Leon F. Czolgosz at the Pan American Exposition in Buffalo, Robert was on a train just arriving in Buffalo.
</snip>

Don't forget, Kennedy was riding in a Lincoln Continental when he was shot! ;)

On edit - Uh-oh... I heard a rumor that Chimpo still plays with Lincoln Logs... :evilgrin:

70. What does the pluto transit mean? I just thought he had a transit of

Uranus.... snarf.... :evilgrin:

Seriously, what does that signify?

[dawgman]

2. please please please.....

don't make shrub a martyr.

[54anickel]

13. That would put Cheney in charge!...

Oh, that's right - he is. Nevermind.

[dawgman]

14. can you imagine Bush with the cult icon status of JFK?

Dear god I might consider suicide.

[SquireJons]

61. I think that's been the plan all along.

I've been saying it for a while, and no one takes me seriously, but I think * has more to fear from the RNC operatives than he does from terrorists. His own people have said that if his approval numbers dip down to 40%, he can't win. He marches closer to that magic number every day, and if he reaches it, watch out. He'd better not ride in any open convertibles. If you ask me, it's a perfect setup. The pugs lose nothing, since shrub does nothing but fund raise, and a dead shrub would probably be a win fall. And think of the sympathy vote...

OK, I'll admit the obvious flaw in my conspiracy theory: Cheney. A dead bush leaves them with a man no mother could love (or even tolerate). So they have to get another patsy at the last minute (thank god arnie was born in Hungary) to front for Cardinal Richelieu the next four years. No biggie...

[uncle ray]

68. cheney

cheney will go down defending his "boss" in a made for tv shootout with the bad guys who try to blow him up in mike wallace's limo.

[amber dog democrat]

76. Its the closet to heroism he will ever be.

I can't imagine Cheney as pres.

[SquireJons]

102. Is that on CBS?

What's the date and time? I don't usualy watch those reality shows, but this one caught my eye... :spank:

[ilovenicepeople]

94. Who's father would set his son up for assassination to push the NWO?

I was shocked after listening to Alex Jones(infowars.com)talking about the nicknames of certain Skull and bones member's.George H W Bush is called "POPPY",John Kerry is called "The Long Devil" and guess what Chimpy's nickname is???? "Temporary":scared:

[mumon]

82. (sniff, tear) And to think...

I used to wrap my dead fish in news stories about him!

[Unperson 309]

93. Maybe *CHENEY* Will Fulfill the Curse!

After all, Tecunseh's curse does NOT target "The President"! It targets the "Great Chief"!

Whatever The Shrubbery *is*, it's NOT the great chief!

That *also* explains WHY Cheney was hidden away on 9/11 and * was running around the country!

This party knows which side of the toast the butthole is on!

[SquireJons]

103. "This party knows which side of the toast the butthole is on!"

:wtf:


(lol)

[ParanoidPat]

3. Saddam is going to kill Bush*'s dad!

:evilgrin:

[arwalden]

33. Not his "Dad"... His "DADDY"...

It's one thing for a grown man to call his father "Daddy" (as a name, or as a PROPER noun)... but it's quite another unsettling thing to hear a grown man (Bush*) to refer to his father as his "daddy".

"He tried to kill my daddy." -- GW Bush

I think that's the quote.

-- Allen

[rooboy]

4. NEWSFLASH - Drudge and Washington Times desperate for more income. n/t

[quaoar]

6. Fuck al Qaeda

and the horse they rode in on.

Why hasn't Bush buried Osama bin Laden yet?

He promised us he would make them all pay dearly for 9/11.

How hard can it be to find a guy in Pakistan who is 6-foot-4 and on dialysis?

[Tight_rope]

37. Maybe if Bush stop kissing the asses of the Bin Laden family..then

we get some results.

[wtmusic]

53. Pretty hard

when he's probably the most popular guy in the country.

[drdtroit]

63. They haven't looked in the Lincoln bedroom.

[Outward Bound]

65. Osama is at cave temperature..

has been since early 2002. He's just a martyr now for the fanatics that * is spawning.

[unfrigginreal]

7. I'm very uncomfortable that the current administration is putting this out

Why would they leak this? I don't like this at all.

[still_one]

11. it is called fear factor

[unfrigginreal]

12. Well it's working this time

and it's not Al Qaeda that scares me.

[Dover]

43. Yeah....it was that or forcing us to eat bugs

Both impossible to digest :puke:

[Green Lantern]

52. Bushwa

can continue his long legacy of running away.

He can justify his disappearance because he would be a "target". Wonder if they will keep him at Cheney's undisclosed location?

[still_one]

8. If it were to be someone the most likely one would be

the president of Pakistan

[Proud2BAmurkin]

9. Another "duh" moment for the Washington Slimes

Al qaeda wants to assassinate people.

Wow. What a scoop.

:eyes:

[Dover]

16. Let's see....who wants Bushco gone the most...the GOP, the Dems, or

alQaeda? Decisions, decisions.....

But once again Bush has managed to unite disparate groups toward a single goal.

[k in IA]

22. Ugh, gone back to Crawford. Sure as hell not assassinated.

[RummyTheDummy]

48. Im not sure Al Queda wants him done in

He's all too willing to play their little Reindeer games. Bush and this mal-administration has been good for their business. Can you think of a better recruiting tool than Bush?

Interesting debate, though.

[frylock]

18. triggered by the public release of a new message from osama bin laden

they will use this as an excuse to eliminate al Jazeera. Take it to the bank. :tinfoilhat:

[neomonkey]

19. Gee

is that a threat or a promise?

[Stuckinthebush]

20. It seems to me that the terrorists have won

Whether or not they plan on a "major assassination" is not the point. They have succeeding in keeping America scared to death. They have succeeded in limiting the rights of Americans. They have succeed in making America the pariah of the world. They have succeeded in getting Saddam out of Iraq. They have succeeded in ensuring a vast number of recruits continue to join up.

All they needed was a bonehead like George in the White House to make sure the plan went though.

It is simply amazing that some Americans still believe that George will be the best person to protect the US from terror.

[54anickel]

29. You list many successes and attribute them to terrorist. Look at them

again - who's best interest are all those successes in? There's your real terrorists.

[indigobusiness]

38. Yep, they gave us the rope

and we hung ourself.

It is remarkable that after 911, America has shown itself to be such a flimsy facade. Not the great and wise country it had deluded itself it was. I, as an American, am ashamed that we didn't use the oportunity of 911 to rise above our pettiness and lead the world to a better place.

We have just dug our collective self into a hole, and the rest of the world will happily bury us, given the chance.

How could this have been so wisely planned by our adversaries? It boggles the mind.

I'm with Vonnegut, I've just about given up. How does one fight the good fight anymore?

[drdtroit]

64. You need to repost and replace "we"

with "Bush" in all instances!

This series of events was not well planned, don't delude yourself.

They were as surprised as any of us that the attack was followed by such ignorance pure ineptitude.

[indigobusiness]

95. The "we" is part of the advocacy of rising above the pettiness

... we are responsible for the govt we empower. "We" are the govt.
Until we take collective responsibility, and stop squabbling like children, we will continue to bail a sinking ship.

Even though Bush has shown himself to be reckless and colossally misguided beyond all expectations, blaming Bush and scapegoating is part of the problem, not the solution.

I don't know if 'they' were surprised, or not. Who can say? It is clear they were betting we would foolishly self-distruct in our unwise reaction to their provocations. That is clear.

[indigobusiness]

97. The events were not well planned? Who is delusional?

I'm puzzled by your calling me delusional. If the events were not well planned, how could a group like this with comparatively limited resources, bring the biggest superpower the world has ever known to it's knees?

Who is deluded here?

[dumpster_baby]

73. THey used 9-11 as an opening to manipulate us

If we want to fight back, we have to have mass media communication abilities. But we don't.

[wtmusic]

54. Let's give credit where it's due

and it ain't Osama who's kept America scared to death

[Stuckinthebush]

83. True...

But the point is that they have realized some of their main goals though the missteps of this administration. They didn't have to do it, they let Bush do it for them.

[aquart]

58. As in fighting fire with fire?

[lostnfound]

21. Hey drudge: Muhammed Naeem Noor Khan was a DOUBLE AGENT

-- not merely an 'alQaeda operative' -- until Bushco. outed him.

[Green Lantern]

55. Outing

Seems to be a favorite pastime of this bunch. who is next ? Kenny Boy? Will we find that he was a double agent of the enviros?

No more Bushwa

[dave29]

23. NOT NEWS - They tried to take out our entire Government

lest we forget.

Besides, let them focus on trying to take out one incredibly protected person rather than the rest of us. I can live with that.

[Darranar]

24. US intelligence officials, Drudge, and the Washington Times...

I'm having trouble figuring out who to trust least....

[grasswire]

25. how many times....

....will the Vast Right Wing Echo Chamber get away with planting this kind of crap?

Crap!

If any networks pick this up, please note here. I want to see which are the most gullible.

I always felt their ace in the hole would be to make Bush a victim. That's their only way out of this.

[Dover]

27. ...oh give the media a break. There has a been a real shortage of fake

beheadings lately. What's a info-entertainment industry to do?

[progressivebydesign]

31. Oh god! Drudge using Washington Times as a source???

And you all fell for it?? sheesh.

[unfrigginreal]

32. Interesting that most of the posts in this thread assume that Bush

would be the target. I can think of quite a few "leaders" that Bushco would benefit from being assassinated, both here and abroad. I'm a little too tin-foiley tonight I guess.

[digno dave]

59. I'm thinking they would target congressmen

Seems like they have no security looking after them and it would be a relatively easy thing to pull off. Easier to pull off than blowing up a building and just as effective.
Think about it...forcing every congressman to walk around with armed bodyguards. It would have the aesthetic of a 3rd world dictatorship.

[uncle ray]

69. my money is on "dems" speaking at the repug convention.

46. Code for......"we really screwed with them this time! Bwaahahahaa!"

They speak with forked tongue...

[Tummler]

47. Bush* seems to plan a lot of things at the screwdriver level

Meaning, he's wasted on vodka and orange juice.

44. Pray for Bush's safety

We want him alive and well so he can taste defeat on Nov. 2nd.

[Mikimouse]

45. If I may...

I made the suggestion a while ago that this would probably happen. If you think about it, what could be better for * if they 'foil' this plot at the last moment, but publicize the notion that the 'terrorists' were planning an attack on *, but not Kerry, because they are more afraid of * and his determination to 'Git 'em'. That exactly how it will be spun, mark my words.

[frylock]

49. yep

[AndyTiedye]

50. It's Not Bush* that "Al Qaeda" Would be Assassinating. It's Kerry!

Al Qaeda is just about the only entity other than Halliburton to
benefit from the Boosh pResidency. They might FAKE an assassination
attempt on Bush* to help him get re-elected, or they might kill our
candidate if they can't stop him from being elected any other way.

Bush* is to the Bin Ladins as Professor Quirell was to Lord Voldemort.
Did you ever wonder why you never see the back of Bush*'s head?

[daleo]

56. Yes, I would think Kerry has more to fear than Bush

Bush and Al Queda have satisfied certain of the other's needs, whether by design or by accident is for each of us to decide for ourselves. Kerry, on the other hand may not provide the simple boogie man that Ossama requires, and has found in Bush.

Of course the BFEE may want to get Kerry out the way, and blame it on Ossama. Again, whether this seems possible is up to each person to decide for themselves.

I, too, have done planning at the screwdriver level, and you wake up with one hell of a hangover. Most of the time you can't remember what you said anyway.

[slinkerwink]

57. hahahahahaha!

[oscar111]

62. Washington Times owned by madman

Rev. Moon of moonies fame... this feb or about, had himself crowned in the senate office bldg, following revelation to him that these people's spirits had declared him a great person:
Buddha
Jesus
Karl Marx
Hitler
Stalin
all the dead US presidents

I think he has said elsewhere that he is the reincarnation of Jesus.

At a hospital intake room, i believe anyone saying exactly those words, could easily be committed.

He is said to have a billion.

WT paper is famously far RW.

It's credibility is at the level of mud. So is the Drudge report.
How, indeed, can anyone stand the authoritaian-pompous voice of Drudge?

[truthisfreedom]

66. this "anybody but bush" comment is so totally partisan that it's sickening

whoever planned that little tidbit is working directly with rove.

"The goal of the next attack is twofold: to damage the U.S. economy and to undermine the U.S. election," the official said. "The view of al Qaeda is 'anybody but Bush.' "


in reality the implication is to assassinate "anybody but bush." bin laden NEEDS bush to further his agenda. once Kerry gets things going smoothly over in Iraq and has cooperation from everyone, the terrorist cells training and being recruited in Iraq will be threatened. right now, with bush's mayhem, Iraq is going to be set to export a whole new crop of energized, willing fundamentalist youth, courtesy of bush jr.

[DeepModem Mom]

67. And that comment calls into question the credibility of anything...

in the entire article.

"The view of al Qaeda is 'anybody but Bush.'"

Unless they mean Al Qaeda fears the election of anybody but Bush, who, it seems to me, has played right into their hands --

[Child_Of_Isis]

87. if that little quote

"anybody but bush" in the entire context of the news blurb, made the media circuit long enough, it could become associated with terrorism.

[dumpster_baby]

71. Silver Lining?

Hey, maybe we should not be so hasty in judging Al Qaeda.....

I will tell you something: if Al qaeda does make good on this threat, there will he a large segment of the population who will not shed a tear....

[0007]

72. They're gonna poison the water, they gonna use truck bombs,

blow up apartment buildings, fiance buildings, they gonna use biochemical warfare against us, 'ya gotta get vaccinated, they're gonna use dirty bombs, they're gonna blow up nuclear power plants, every week it is a different scenario.

Drudge and the Washington Times are the terrorist.

[Citizen Daryl]

74. You don't have to have WMDs to be a terrorist.

All you have to do is succeed at terrorizing people.

The Bush junta has succeeded at this for the last three years.

The fact that 42% of Americans support the ones who are truly keeping them in a state of fear? Stockholm Syndrome.

[ilovenicepeople]

96. "You don't have to have WMDs to be a terrorist."

But having the MOST WMD doesn't hurt either.

Shannon's posting "It is interesting that there have been no assassination attempts made on this president yet...Never before have I seen a chart that made me gasp in fear before. It's worse than I thought!"

Hope it doesn't happen. As somebody said further up the thread, we do not need this man to become a martyr.

[ElementaryPenguin]

92. Newsflash! Al Qaeda assassinated both Kennedys, King, and Lincoln!

I don't want to touch this subject...but it is a damn good thing that the Dems have several viable candidates...just in case, God forbid, the desperate BFEE/PNAC Mob should resort to that dastardly deed! We can't put anything past this sick f*ckers!
