It kind of freaks me out, but it sure seems like some signs are pointing to bioterrorism as the next attack. I don't know the details on the whole "bioterrorism experts being killed" thing, so I don't know if that's legit or paranoia, but I was reading a newspaper article about a bioterrorism expert a while back, and it mentioned that he was heading to a conference in Pakistan, and terrorists blew up the hotel "hours before his arrival".

Then there's this:

Report: Al Qaeda Group Bungled Test of Unconventional Weapon
Tuesday, January 20, 2009

By Eli Lake, Washington Times

An Al Qaeda affiliate in Algeria closed a base earlier this month after an experiment with unconventional weapons went awry, a senior U.S. intelligence official said Monday.

The official, who spoke on the condition he not be named because of the sensitive nature of the issue, said he could not confirm press reports that the accident killed at least 40 Al Qaeda operatives, but he said the mishap led the militant group to shut down a base in the mountains of Tizi Ouzou province in eastern Algeria.

He said authorities in the first week of January intercepted an urgent communication between the leadership of Al Qaeda in the Land of the Maghreb (AQIM) and Al Qaeda's leadership in the tribal region of Pakistan on the border with Afghanistan. The communication suggested that an area sealed to prevent leakage of a biological or chemical substance had been breached, according to the official.

"We don't know if this is biological or chemical," the official said.

The story was first reported by the British tabloid the Sun, which said the Al Qaeda operatives died after being infected with a strain of bubonic plague, the disease that killed a third of Europe's population in the 14th century. But the intelligence official dismissed that claim.

This should be worrying Al Qaeda. They do not have the medical supplies needed to treat it -- We do.

The Black Plague is spread by flies bites after they come in contact with infected rodents.

I more worried about picking little pieces of chicken off my face riding the subway, than I am about catching the plague.

.... and to all a good night

Hmm...sounds like even more of a reason not to support Israel and give them money and other miscellaneous bullshit.

There is plenty of reason to support Isreal. God's chosen people.
Scripture says, those who stand against Isreal will be cursed.

Have you ever noticed how that country thrives while the rest struggle to survive?
Turning your back on Isreal would be extremely stupid.

Odds are if anything this serious ever does happen Israel will be the only country with the stones to do anything about it...

This has me concerned.

I think I'll start selling off my rental property before there's no one to rent to and I'm stuck with a bunch of mortgages I can't pay for.

If we had one more strike on a large . I hope that would be the end of them. They had their chance to get rid of the terrorists in the middle east. Everyone dies over there we put all those weapons that we don't get to use because they hide out in caves and we just level the whole place. Exept where the oil is. I don't need my gas over 2.00 dollars
