[maddezmom]

KABUL, Afghanistan - Al-Qaida has ferried about half a dozen Arab agents into Afghanistan in the past three weeks, two of whom detonated themselves in suicide bombings in the south targeting a packed mosque and a convoy of U.S. troops, Afghanistan's defense minister said Friday.

Rahim Wardak told The Associated Press he received intelligence that Osama bin Laden's terror group is regrouping and intends to bring Iraq-style bloodshed to Afghanistan. He also warned that the country could be in for several months of intense violence ahead of key legislative elections.

"We have gotten reports here and there that they have entered — at least half a dozen of them," Wardak said. "The last report is that they came in just close to the time of the mosque attack."

The June 1 mosque blast killed 20 mourners at the funeral of a moderate cleric assassinated days earlier. That same day, a shoulder-launched, surface-to-air missile was fired at an American aircraft but missed.

5. This article was the top front page headline of my paper this morning

in Big bold print "Al-Qaida plans more attacks". It pushed Tom Cruise below the fold. Normally nothing but drivel in this rag.

TIME TO BE SCARED!!!

8. George W... History's most accomplished president

If you happen to be a Middle Eastern terrorist named Osama Bin Laden. Who could've imagined the American people would "elect" such a dumbass who plays right into the hands of the terrorists? He sure has helped with Al-Qaeda's recruitment... And now they don't even have to go to America to kill Americans. We're right in there backyard!



IMPEACH BUSH!
