'There will not be a war ahead of us. The situation in America does not allow them to create new fronts,' Ali Larijani was quoted as saying by the student news agency ISNA. 'War with Iran is hard for them, so they want to intimidate us into committing suicide,' he added, referring to Western efforts to make Tehran abandon work on the sensitive nuclear fuel cycle. Iran insists its nuclear programme is strictly peaceful and argues it has the right to carry out fuel cycle work as a signatory of the nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT). But the EU and US fear the clerical regime is using an atomic energy drive as a means to acquire the technology to make weapons. 'If they want to talk to us in a threatening tone, we'll resist,' Larijani said, repeating his threat that Iran could cease applying the additional protocol of the NPT -- which gives greater powers of inspection to the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). Although he said 'we will not leave the NPT', Larijani did complain that 'the NPT was supposed to help us have nuclear energy but it hasn't done anything for us except create obstacles.' http://www.forbes.com/home/feeds/afx/2005/10/09/afx2267111.html” 2:56:44 PM 10/10/05 “Yeah ... their nuclear program is strickly peaceful. Everyone believes that load of crap, right?” 3:53:43 PM 10/10/05 “I seem to remember about 2 weeks after Iraq all the libbies started saying "We should have taken out Iran or N. Korea, but not Iraq."” 3:54:57 PM 10/10/05 “A real sergeant knows how to spell it.” 3:55:03 PM 10/10/05 “It's a pun on "Sarge".” 3:56:03 PM 10/10/05 “Right! Nice try Nigal.” 3:57:44 PM 10/10/05 “Rice Favors Diplomatic Isolation Over Attacking Syria 17:25 Oct 10, '05 / 7 Tishrei 5766 By Scott Shiloh U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice succeeded in thwarting a United States attack on Syria at an October 1st meeting of senior American officials. According to Newseek magazine, Rice said she favored isolating Syria diplomatically over launching a military strike. She cited a pending UN report that may blame Syria for assassinating former Lebanese prime minister Rafik Hariri. The United States has accused Syria of harboring Iraqi insurgents who have been escalating the war against American forces in Iraq. U.S. forces have recently been waging an offensive against insurgents infiltrating into Iraq from Syria. The offensive has concentrated on Iraqi towns along the Syrian border. President Bush turned up the heat on the Syrian government last Thursday when he referred to it as an “outlaw regime,” even going so far as to say that such a regime was an “enemy of civilization.” Prior to the president’s speech, the U.S. ambassador to Iraq, Zalmay Khalilzad, said last month that “our patience was running out,” with Damascus. In contrast to the recent harsh rhetoric, Newsweek reported that the United States had been privately praising Syria for handing Saddam Hussein’s half-brother Sabawi Ibrahim al-Hassan, to U.S. forces earlier in the year. Syrian-U.S. relations, however, soured a few months ago when Syria cut off all security and intelligence cooperation with the United States, in retaliation for the United States’ tough public stance against the regime. The loss of cooperation has been costing the United States vital information important for precluding planned terrorist attacks. Syria’s ambassador the United States, Imad Moustapha, told Newsweek that Syria was willing to resume cooperation with the United States, provided that the U.S. cease its public criticism of that country. A U.S. attack on Syria could have serious repercussions for the Jewish State. Syria is known to have stored large quantities of chemical weapons and other weapons of mass destruction. Some security analysts suggest that Iraq may have transferred its weapons of mass destruction to Syria before the American strike on that country in 2003. Some military analysts claim that Syria would choose to retaliate against Israel, in the event of a U.S. attack, an action that could embroil the Middle East in a major Arab-Israeli war. Such would have serious consequences for the region and the world at large. Aside from attacking Israel directly, Syria could signal its proxies in Lebanon, particularly Hezbollah, to reignite the border with Israel. Hezbollah reportedly has in its possession thousands of surface to surface missiles that could destroy targets as far south as Haifa.” 3:59:03 PM 10/10/05 “FrankeNigal got busted on by the Ghoulbeeter. How's this Geo, make more sense for you?” 4:00:42 PM 10/10/05 “Al-Qaeda Bases in Sinai 10:16 Oct 10, '05 / 7 Tishrei 5766 By Hillel Fendel Al-Qaeda has built at least one base in Sinai, from where terrorists are sent to Gaza and from there to Israel. Egypt has done nothing to stop it, says IDF Intelligence Chief Gen. Ze'evi-Farkash. Gen. Aharon Ze'evi-Farkash told the Cabinet ministers at their weekly meeting on Sunday that a gang of the international terrorist organization Al-Qaeda recently took over a large area in the Sinai Peninsula. After banishing the residents, they placed mines around their new base - signaling Egyptian police and army forces not to come near. Activities at the base include the training of terrorists and preparations for sending them to Gaza, from where they can more easily enter Israel to perpetrate attacks. Almost a month ago, Mahmoud A-Zahar, regional head of Hamas, told the Italian newspaper "Corriere de La Sierra" that several Al-Qaeda terrorists had already crossed into Gaza. Ze'evi-Farkash said that in the days and weeks following Israel's unilateral withdrawal from Gaza, Al-Qaeda sent large amounts of weapons and many terrorists into Gaza, with the purpose of strengthening the terrorist infrastructure there. Among the weapons smuggled in are shoulder-launched missiles, long-range Katyusha rockets, and tremendous amounts of automatic rifles and bullets. It is even reported that a new Kassam rocket has been introduced into the Gaza arsenal, one that explodes in mid-air, releasing lethal falling shrapnel even if it misses its essential target. The Intelligence Chief said that Egypt is refraining from taking action against the new terrorists. He said Egypt fears that a direct clash with Al-Qaeda will lead to terror attacks against Egypt itself. Other reports are that Egypt cannot take massive military action in the demilitarized desert without Israeli permission - something it does not wish to request. Farkash's report jibes with other accounts. A recent article in The Jordan Times cites reports to the effect that Al-Qaeda has set up makeshift camps in Sinai's rough terrain and inaccessible peaks just as it did in Afghanistan's Tora Bora mountains. Debkafile, which reported on Al-Qaeda's presence in Sinai a week ago, said that Egyptian forces basically control only the perimeter of Sinai, while up to half of the interior is exclusively Al-Qaeda-land. The Anti-Terrorism Task Force, under the auspices of the Prime Minister's Office, has not withdrawn its warning against travel to Sinai, issued in light of "specific and well-based intelligence" indicating plans to kidnap vacationing Israelis there. Gen. Ze'evi-Farkash told the Jaffe Center for Strategic Studies last week that Al-Qaeda terrorists had entered Gaza from Egypt following Israel's withdrawal, though he did not emphasize their presence in the Sinai. The general also said that during the ten days after the withdrawal, Palestinian terrorist groups brought in 3,000 AK-47 assault rifles, 300 rocket-propelled grenades, 1.5 million rounds of ammunition and an undetermined number of anti-tank rockets and surface-to-air missiles from Sinai. Way to be tough on Terror ass holes...” 4:01:24 PM 10/10/05 “If I weren't married I'd ask Condoleezza to marry me.” 4:01:31 PM 10/10/05 ““Right! Nice try Nigal.” If I were going to insult S-rge I'd do it to his face using my own log on. If I say something I want the credit. I don't troll.” 4:02:34 PM 10/10/05 “Geo hasn't relate to the fact that FrankeNigal and SARGEantSlaughter have standards.” 4:05:15 PM 10/10/05 “I will give ya that much.

You're wrong most times but ya tell it like ya believe it.” 4:08:02 PM 10/10/05 “You're wrong most times but ya tell it like ya believe it. - FrankenNigal Nigal is cool. Nigal is smart. Nigal is handsome. Nigal is witty. Nigal is loved. Too bad I'm wrong most times.” 4:47:37 PM 10/10/05 “LOL! btw, you forgot humble as well. :)” 4:49:00 PM 10/10/05 6:07:54 PM 11/08/05 “It's disturbing, but it's in keeping with their culture all the same.” 6:24:41 PM 11/08/05 ““What does Iranian TV teacht heir children?" Gee, I wonder if they teach Iranian kids to frickin' spell? Fingers got to flyin' there.” 7:17:15 PM 11/08/05 “That's not a spelling error, Nigal.

Then tell me the temperature that steel loses critical integrity at. Anyone who ever stood too close to a TT campfire will realize something interesting. last edited: 1/14/06 11:10:48 AM” 11:08:50 AM 1/14/06 “ummm.. you lost me there pal.” 1:55:57 PM 1/14/06 “You have to zoom in Violin. The lady is roasting marshmallows, but they're not cooking. Marshmallows cook at a mere 180 F. Steel loses critical integrity at 3000 F. The whole durn thing was staged by Bushie and pals.” 2:07:48 PM 1/14/06 “I'm not sure what I'm supposed to see there either. Is it evidence that the hijackers used something extra or that neither the planes nor anything on them caused the towers to collapse?” 2:14:44 PM 1/14/06 “The evidence is obvious. Huge red arrows were attached to the planes causing the damage. Some of the arrows survived and were photographed by a russian spy who was paid for by the Israeli Mossad who hired the spy through a syrian import/export company with ties to the vatican, who by the way were upset at some greek orthodox but that would really be tangential at this point...Obviously aircraft didnt do this. I mean we didnt actually see this happen. No one has any film showing 2 planes driving into the twin towers (accept the liberal or conservative propaganda machines who are Nazis of course). Cursed gub'ment and them durn Jews.” 5:04:20 PM 1/14/06 “Well why didn't he say that in the first place????? I was stalked by a huge red arrow once.” 5:12:14 PM 1/14/06 “Look to the middle right of the hole. There is a lady wearing a blue shirt and tan pants waving. This is not a doctored pic on some crazy leftwing website it is real government document. Sarge seems to be the only one who saw her or he already knew about the pic. The lady climbed out to the edge of the hole created by the airplane and is waving. That should be an area hot enough to melt steel. Leaves me with a big old nasty can't trust my government feeling.” 10:32:09 PM 1/14/06 “I don't think it would be hot right after the impact. Maybe later after the fire had a chance to burn for a while.” 10:45:12 PM 1/14/06 “point of clarification - I was joking in case it wasn't obvious. I have no idea what the roasting temperature of marshmallows is.” 10:53:16 PM 1/14/06 “Also check frame number 62 at the same government web site. Same lady different angle. Very little fire.” 10:57:32 PM 1/14/06 “Bateauxdriver - I'm confused. Are you saying the fire in those pictures wasn't as hot as the government would have you believe?” 11:03:02 PM 1/14/06 “Sarge I don't know what to believe but I do believe I see a lady standing in an area that should be white hot.” 11:08:36 PM 1/14/06 “i think the wtc attacks would have been impossible to fake. hundreds of ppl saw first-hand the planes fly into the buildings, and billions of ppl across the world saw the footage. saying the administration plotted this is pretty far-fetched” 11:19:39 PM 1/14/06 “There is no doubt that planes crashed into the twin towers, the pentagon and into the ground in Pennsylvania. It is the manner that the buildings fell not the fact that they fell that puzzles me. In my mind only a controlled demolition could have brought down the buildings as rapidly and neatly as they fell. The speed at which they fell is within one second of free fall speed of an object made of simular density. That would suggest that instant, uniform failure of the skeleton would have to occur. The official governement explanation is that the pancaking effect of floors dropping upon the one below brought down the buildings. That would have taken much longer. Think of cars at a stop sign. The lead car moves, then the second car, then the third and so on. When a train engine applies force to the cars almost all move at the speed of the engine the instant they have tension. The govenment pancake theory is analogous to the cars at a stop sign and controlled demolition is more like a train. I wish I had paid more attention to the professor in math and physics. How many times did we hear someone yell out, "When are we ever going to use this in the real world." I think those responsible are taking for granite that most of us didn't pay attention in math class. last edited: 1/15/06 12:20:12 AM” 12:16:00 AM 1/15/06 “i think some people who did pay attention in science class wouldve cried foul by now, however” 12:46:31 AM 1/15/06 “I wondered if that was a person, but it wasn't clear when I zoomed in that it was. Seeing the other pic from p. 62 of what seems to be the same person in a different position suggests that it really is a person. I still don't know why that area should be so hot. I also see no reason that it would serve the interests of anyone in the US government to have the WTC buildings collapse - once that had already been attacked in such dramatic fashion.” 3:50:43 PM 1/15/06 “"It was...maaaaaagic." ”6:03:17 PM 1/15/06 “Nigal - I've never laughed so hard to a forum post. That's awesome!” 6:05:36 PM 1/15/06 “I think I have to agree with ped that there was no motive to have the towers actually collapse, even if there was a conspiracy to allow the attack to happen. I know a number of people who witnessed the attack from very close up and at different perspectives. One stayed far longer than he should have and would have known if there was a secondary explosion.” 9:59:27 AM 1/16/06 “Now I’ll be the first one to admit that The World of Ebaum is not a real wealth of wisdom. More like a cesspool of retardation. However there was a vid posted there about secondary explosions and squibs going off on the first floor. So the tin foil hats squared off against the doubters and all hell broke loose. Of course I, Poopypants, did my part to fuel the fires of discontent. Somehow in the huge melee a discussion broke out. It’s a long, funny and interesting thread.

Security Council passed a resolution Monday giving Iran until the end of August to suspend uranium enrichment or face the threat of economic and diplomatic sanctions. http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,206372,00.html Yay! We're saved! I'm sure of it! We've never seen this song and dance before. The Global Watchdog has spoken! ”10:24:19 AM 7/31/06 “Iran is shaking over this one! ;-)” 10:43:01 AM 7/31/06 “Nigal, is that August 2???-?” 10:55:31 AM 7/31/06 “Well, it's not like the U.S. can do anything about this. This is the real crime of Iraq. We've committed all of our troops there, so there is no legitimate threat of force against Iran. This means that all we can do right now is go running back to the U.N. hoping that it will accomplish something. Iran is winning.” 11:14:26 AM 7/31/06 “Lets undermine and ignore the UN at every turn then blame it when things go wrong.” 11:43:00 AM 7/31/06 “Can you just imagine being a nuclear weapons researcher in North Korea or Iran or Pakistan? After years of believing that a U.S. missile or tank was just moments from arriving, you now find yourself allowed to do all of your research in the open without any threat of death. They must be getting so much more done.” 11:48:37 AM 7/31/06 “Let Iran go for it, they my mess up along the way. We have 'wild cat drillers' that are'nt afraid of a little radioactivity.” 12:00:27 PM 7/31/06 “I think the invasion of Iraq helped motivate many countries to get nukes - what's the one thing that ensures our regime - nukes. Get some nukes then our worries will be over and the US huge military prowess is negated. Interestingly that wonderful "axis of evil" speech, invade and #&%!$ up one, the other two work even harder to get nukes.” 12:27:24 PM 7/31/06 “whew, for a while there yall had me worried about Iran. Now that I know they didn't start their Nuke program until after we invaded Iraq I know they can't have progressed veryu far yet.” 12:34:10 PM 7/31/06 Jump to Page << prev
