August 22, 200619 yr Apocalypse NOW: The Twelfth Imam By Alan Caruba CNSNews.com Commentary from the National Anxiety Center July 08, 2005 If anyone still thinks that the worldwide Islamic Jihad is going to go away simply because we have had some success in Afghanistan and are paving the way for a democratic government in Iraq, Thursday's attack in London, coinciding with the G8 summit, should dispel such notions. Most revealing was the G-8 agenda, devoted to so-called global warming and forgiving African debt; two examples of wishful thinking based on neither scientific nor economic evidence that either would accomplish anything. More to the point, the Islamic Jihadists took the opportunity to remind us who and what the real enemy is. "Ya Mahdi, Ad Rekni!" This translates to "Mahdi save us!" and refers to the Islamic Shiite myth about a twelfth imam who tradition says disappeared some eleven centuries ago. In U.S. Rep. Curt Weldon's new book, "Countdown to Terror," he notes that this figure "is expected to return and fulfill the long-awaited Islamic apocalypse, one that will reward the faithful and, with catastrophic violence, purge all infidels from the face of the Earth." We must face the risk of another even more catastrophic attack that will be justified by an Islamic fantasy. Making this even worse is the "election" of Mahmood Ahmadinejad as Iran's president. The mullahs that run Iran are perfectly capable of sanctioning some kind of nuclear attack on the US, but Mahmood is on record saying, "The wave of the Islamic revolution will soon reach the entire world." Watching this guy is comparable to having watched the rise of Hitler in the 1930s. This Teheran mayor has served as a senior commander in the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corp, responsible for the nation's missile and nuclear weapons programs. The stage is set for their use against us. Weldon, a Pennsylvania Republican, is vice chairman of the House Armed Service Committee in Congress and long familiar with the strengths and weaknesses of our intelligence services. Despite strenuous efforts, he has been unable to awaken any concern in the Central Intelligence Agency, the Defense Intelligence Agency, the National Security Agency, and other comparable agencies to prevent an attack on the United States timed to occur on or about the twelfth imam's supposed birthday. You can begin the countdown now. If an attack is scheduled, it could happen as early as November 25 through December 3 of this year. The likely target is a nuclear facility in the U.S. A Jihadist plot to destroy Seabrook, just outside of Boston, was previously foiled. Had it succeeded, producing a "Chernobyl" after a hijacked commercial jet flew into it, much of the northeast would have become uninhabitable. A future "Mahdi save us!" attack might alternatively occur in the Seattle area. Americans in general, it seems to me, have grown indifferent to the threat the Islamic Jihad represents. Too many believe we are engaged in a questionable military action in Iraq and Afghanistan. Only the daily casualty reports remind anyone that the single most important war of civilizations is occurring and has been for the last three decades or so. And it formally began in Iran. This is why the president delivered a speech on June 28 to clarify the military situation in the Middle East and emphasize again the need to succeed in our mission to install a democratic nation in the midst of a region that has none other than Israel, a backsliding Turkey, and the government we set up in Afghanistan. Weldon's book is a shocking series of revelations of how unprepared and ill prepared we are for another attack on the United States. Despite the billions spent on our intelligence agencies, they were caught completely off-guard by 9-11 and there are examples of earlier failures such as the revelation that Pakistan had developed a nuclear weapon. These days, one wonders if any of these agencies has a clue where Iran's or North Korea's nuclear facilities are located. Detailing how he was contacted by an Iranian living in Europe and working with a network of informants inside the government to avoid another catastrophic attack on the US or elsewhere, Weldon's book presents his written communications, all of which accurately predicted events and plots that those in the CIA chose to ignore. Frustrated, Weldon met independently with his contact and, finally, has authored this book whose title is enough to tell you he expects something truly awful to occur. Frankly, I do as well. Iran is the single most determined enemy the United States has these days. Its mullahs have poured millions into terrorist organizations and are currently doing everything it can to deter Iraq from emerging as a beacon of freedom on its border and throughout the region. The Iranian people love America, but everything there is run by a council of mullahs who are determined to extend the Islamic Revolution to the entire world. It is folly to trust them to act rationally. Anyone who does not think that Osama bin Laden's al Qaeda is not closely linked to the Iranian mullahs is deluding themselves. Indeed, I have long believed that the real reason we have not been able to find and kill bin Laden is because he has been safely living in Iran and not the frequently mentioned mountainous areas of Pakistan or Afghanistan. That he has been seen in various safe houses and compounds in Iran is not even in doubt. Weldon's contact reported that, "In November 2003, at a crucial meeting of the Committee of Nine, it is decided to postpone the Twelfth Imam attack on the United States until after the 2004 elections." At that time, however, Ayatollah Khameni reportedly decided that "The project should be kept alive and preparations should be made in such a way that once the decision is taken to go ahead, there is no delay in execution." As Weldon notes in his book, "We live in an age when technology has so empowered man that a small group of terrorists---even an individual---could bring a nation to its knees." In the midst of the usual blather that followed the president's speech, the one thing missing from the political partisanship and reflections by various "experts" is that we are very probably living on borrowed time until the "Twelfth Imam" attack occurs.
August 22, 200619 yr Your president thinks he can stop all terrorism... maybe you should ask him :lol:
August 22, 200619 yr Author no one can stop terrorism. bu you seem to think we cant make it less of a threat...typical lib.

The facts are overwhelming that our influence in Iraq is making terrorism go away once and for all! :rolleyes: look at their size and military, they are not a threat to islamic extremist...america and britain are, and after us the rest of europe is a target these extremist want a holly war with all non muslims and you think appeasing them will make them go away?:rolleyes: Hey it worked with hitler, when a group of people want war and power we can just appease them and they will go away!!!:rolleyes: they want to dominate as much area as they can, so they attack their biggest enemy first..its called common sense, when you want to conquer land you go after the strongest enemy first the ones who will pose a threat and be able to stop you... did you even read the article and see what these nuts are want?
August 22, 200619 yr no one can stop terrorism. bu you seem to think we cant make it less of a threat...typical lib. haha! I love that game... "Mad Libs"!! Funny stuff..... :P
August 22, 200619 yr Author so you agree you dont think you we can atleast make terrorism a lesser threat? most liberals i encounter seem to think its ok for iran to have nukes and we cant do anything about terrorism. well we can never defeat an idea but we can make it less of a threat. like what we did with nazism. oops i mentioned ww2 to you again, i forgot you're against learning from the past and not making the same mistakes twice, my bad.
August 22, 200619 yr shut up... seriously. lol You have no idea what I think about ww2 or the past.. lol as for lessing the amount of terrorism... I really don't think it would make a difference. Sure it would be nice to do so.. but I think its a hopeless battle in this case... its a whole new world since ww2... thats why I refuse to compare the two situations.. :)
August 22, 200619 yr Author shut up... seriously. lol You have no idea what I think about ww2 or the past.. lol as for lessing the amount of terrorism... I really don't think it would make a difference. Sure it would be nice to do so.. but I think its a hopeless battle in this case... its a whole new world since ww2... thats why I refuse to compare the two situations.. :) you seem to think you cant learn lessons from then that apply to now, but you can learn lessons from history a thousand years ago that apply to today were making the same mistakes europe made pre ww2 and yet you wont see it. point and case it was thought to be hopless and not possible to make nazism a lesser threat, but history shows us we can, next case ignoring it only makes it bigger nazism being key example and we ignored terrorism and look how huge it is now? the lack of common sense and ability to look at history to learn lessons shows how truly ignorant you are. in many ways the war relates to ww2. i just showed 2 examples. the people failed to learn any lessons from ww1 so ww2 happened, and now ww3 is coming.... your lack of understanding how the world works and how history affects the present is truly scary to say the least.

I never said any of those things... you're ASSuming.... :P I never said we can't learn from the past... believe you me.. whats goin on today in the world... we will definitely learn from this in the future..... :)
August 22, 200619 yr Author :lol: you are too much!! I never said any of those things... you're ASSuming.... :P I never said we can't learn from the past... believe you me.. whats goin on today in the world... we will definitely learn from this in the future..... :) but you wont mention or adknowledge we have lesson we can learn from ww2....which relates to modern day wars.
August 22, 200619 yr Author ww1 and ww2 were different wars yet their was lessons to be learned from ww1 that applied to ww2. your type of thinking is what makes people lose wars. appeasing enemies and ignoring them is what europe did to hitler, and is what most of the world is doing to islmic fascism...same thing different time. we should have learned ignoring fascist doesnt make them go away...but people too much think like you and dont realize the lessons to be learned. the battlefield may be different and different weapons but the ideas are very similar.
August 22, 200619 yr ...and we ignored terrorism and look how huge it is now? Terrorism isn't huge now, what are you talking about?
August 22, 200619 yr Author Terrorism isn't huge now' date=' what are you talking about?[/quote'] It is and its growing. as more mulims become extremist and believe the islamic fascism that the leaders of nations like iran teach.....this is a true danger, but its not to late to put a stop to it but if we wait it will become even more dangerous.
August 22, 200619 yr Author ahh true language of a nut. if we burry our head in the sand and dont listen to anyone talking about a problem to come, we can make it go away! true intelligence eh? or maybe its not ignorance, but being a coward. we cant win so lets appease....?
August 22, 200619 yr Switzerland's not fighting terrorism and hey! look they haven't gotten attacked! Fighting's really helping, isn't it? The facts are overwhelming that our influence in Iraq is making terrorism go away once and for all! :rolleyes: America wasnt fighting Terrorism when 9/11 happened. The Uk Wasnt fighting Terrorism when the IRA Started. And besides no-one messes with the Swiss. Even Hitler didnt.
August 22, 200619 yr ahh true language of a nut. if we burry our head in the sand and dont listen to anyone talking about a problem to come' date=' we can make it go away! true intelligence eh? or maybe its not ignorance, but being a coward. we cant win so lets appease....?[/quote'] or maybe its just you blabbing about on and on that I am tired of.. lol I know I'm not alone here.. lol Don't talk to me about burrying my head in the sand... lol at least I listen to what people have to say...

August 22, 200619 yr I know, the mastermind behind all the terrorist attacks is in fact Princess Diana. She didn't die in that car crash, she wanted us to believe she died, but in fact she is ruling the world.
August 22, 200619 yr LOL @ this "islamic jihad" crap. it's a bunch of crazies trying to blow up the world, got nothing to do with Islam in and of itself. they just use it as an excuse.
August 22, 200619 yr so you agree you dont think you we can atleast make terrorism a lesser threat? most liberals i encounter seem to think its ok for iran to have nukes and we cant do anything about terrorism. well we can never defeat an idea but we can make it less of a threat. like what we did with nazism. oops i mentioned ww2 to you again' date=' i forgot you're against learning from the past and not making the same mistakes twice, my bad.[/quote'] technically we made it worse by attacking Iraq. Iraq was the counterweight to Iran, Iran didnt develope nukes because Iraq was in the way and that would lead to a war. But now Iran is sitting back thinking, what stupid Americans!!! now we dont have to worry about Iraq getting in the way, and all of the Sunni's and fighting the Shiites. So in a way we have created more terrorists than we could ever destroy. Now since there are many more Shiites than Sunnis, the Shiites will win their civil war, and when that is over with, guess who else is Shiite???? yep Iran. So now we can thank the brilliant George W Bush for destroying the only stable part of the middle east and creating a whole new warzone ALLLLLL because he said there were nukes there. Then when that didnt work, it turned into "oh no we wanted to free the Iraqi people from opression" that it BULL sh*t, if we wanted to free people from opression, there are plenty of oressed people all over the world who need help. We attacked Iraq because we wanted to throw our weight around and show whos boss, we knew there were no nukes there, and that is WHY we attacked them!! We wanted to get rid of someone who "had" them, and make us look good, while not really starting a real confrontation. But now that Iraq is out of the picture and fighting each other, Iran is basically doing whatever they want now! thanks george
August 23, 200619 yr Author or maybe its just you blabbing about on and on that I am tired of.. lol I know I'm not alone here.. lol Don't talk to me about burrying my head in the sand... lol at least I listen to what people have to say... I tune you out because you talk too much shit.. frankly is getting old. I know about seeing and living with terrorism first hand.. remember?! lol-I haven't argued with you.. :lol: why do you insist on picking a fight with me? :confused: because you're the biggest shit talker i know, and devoid of common sense...its funny hearing you try to reason.
