And this is a new thing?

Now that schools out for the summer, perhaps the kids will try to take over the Kingdom while the Royal Family summers in Antibbe and La Hoya.

OT: Take a look at this ridiculous crap...

Women Plan "Pom Pom" Protest

It's a tricky thing, though.......how can you incite the masses without broadcasting your intentions?

.for example, those who will conduct explosions should only be told about the explosion.”

It really is a religion of explosives, as practiced.

If only muslims could be limited to weapons they actually invented.

We'd have no problem defending against humus-generated flatulence.

Thats really not La Hoya but La Jolla, but I wouldn't want to give away the secret location.

by "waging jihad" he means waging an "inner struggle" - correct?

Correct.

That's why Osama bin Laden is apostate, and not the Arab world's biggest hero.

Jihad is an inner struggle, and Islam means peace. Don't let anyone tell you different.

Is this political jihad

It's fitting that the Saudis have to finally face the monster that they helped create. Have fun!

My wife has family in La Joya, TX (Tio David and Tia Petra).

Do you ever wonder about the fact that once civiliation flourished there and now all it seems to do is die there?

Makes you think dosen't it.

#3, Captain Queeg

Besides skits, songs and role-playing, some of the groups use their sexuality to deliver political messages.

I've seen some of these babes, and believe me it's not sexuality, it's cellulite.

#3 Capt. Queeg.

LOL.

To protest sales of gas-guzzling Hummers, for example, the group held a "hum-in," where members hummed outside congressional offices.

I'm not touching that one...

“The activists must be residents of this city to avoid spies and suspicious eyes.”

Not to say that leftists and jihadis are feeding each other in their war against the West.

ok someones gotta say it

hummer he he he they said hummer

now looks like a good time for saudi arabia to use those two armies they have been stocking up for the past god knows how long.

each is reluctant to move against the insurgent terrorists as it could weaken them vis-a-vis the other!
another problem of having too much oil and not enough rationality!

they spend the equivalent amount on each army as israel spends on its own in a year!

this is what i call a volitile situation and something the US wished it had never backed!

at least the army personel in saudi arabia are a bunch of muppets!

may they long slaughter each other!

Completely OT but related to a pervasive topic here at LGF - last night Joe Scarborough said he wants to hear about media bias (from your local paper). He'll expose it. Not sure of his viewership numbers, but it's worth sending him a link.

joe@msnbc.com

The vultures have come home to roost.

It will be interesting to see how the House of Saud deals with this. Will they continue to support Madrasas and mad clerics preaching from Mecca?.....I suspect that they will.
The monster that they've created will be their undoing.

...and all kinds of anti-Bush (tee hee) panties for sale at Axis of Eve they even have a gallery of morons wearing the sh*t....

Get yours quick.

International Living Reader,

Geneva has long been a favorite of Arab visitors, and now it's literally being bought up by the Saudi Arabian royal family. Speak to any real estate agent dealing with upmarket properties and you'll learn that large Swiss estates are being purchased by agents for the House of Fahd.

[snip]

The aging King Fahd and his entourage of some 2,000 princes seem to be preparing for the growing risk of a violent coup at home, and they want to be sure that life in exile will be equally sweet as life at home. That's why another business sector in Geneva, private banking, is similarly booming.

[snip]

Maybe you remember the headlines about the Saudis
repatriating their funds from U.S. banks? About a year ago, several newspapers reported that the Saudis were about to pull $300 billion to $400 billion out of their U.S. bank accounts, fearing that Uncle Sam might freeze their assets should political relations between the two countries turn sour.

If you're wondering where all the money went... look in
Geneva. The Rothschild's private bank has its pick of new customers, and last year assets under management grew by an astonishing 26.4%

[snip]

Coincidentally, within viewing distance of the Rothschild estate lies the Swiss country pile of no lesser person than King Fahd of Saudi Arabia...

BTW, totally off topic, just watched Joe Bastardi's streaming long range update from his pay per view weather site ( [Link: pro.accuweather.com...] ) and he sees signs of early season tropical trouble for the eastern or central Gulf of Mexico. What Joe predicts (and latest 06Z GFS run supports 00Z run Joe referenced and basically believes is right about this part) is the big trough coming ashore now, which will trigger a massive tornado outbreak Saturday night through Monday starting near/just north of Dallas up to Nebraska and heading east (I hope it doesn't get to Indianapolis until after the 500), will eventually butt up against the monster ridge making it so dry in Florida, will go negative tilt, and then will lift out, leaving a little "cut-off" pocket of cold air and low pressure at upper levels, which will sink slowly south into the GOMEX after D-Day 2004. These cut-offs sometimes fire thunderstorms, then slowly back away and ventilate the storms, and even help form shortwave ridging over the top of the developing systems. They also sometimes help draw pre-existing weak tropical waves up from the Caribbean. The 372 hour GFS valid early afternoon June 11th shows pressures lowering in the extreme SE Gulf/Yucatan, with heavy rains spreading through western Cuba into extreme SW Florida. Looking at the 500 mb heights, steering flow would be rather weak, but the trough over the northeast might tend to pull this generally northward, hence the proabability if something does develop it targets NOLA through Florida.

Coincidentally enough, the Gulf of Mexico from New Orleans eastward is already at/above the magic 26.5C With two more weeks of generally quiet weather over the Gulf, I'd expect at least 1C, more likely 2C of warming. 2C of warming would put the 28.5C isotherm, generally accepted as the required sea surface temperature required for major (cat 3 or above) storms awfully close to the coast from eastern Louisiana to Florida.
Of course, the earliest major hurricane ever to hit the US (1957's Category 4 Hurricane Audrey didn't hit until June 27th, so June 11 is historically early for a major tropical cyclone).

This web site is interesting, it shows theoretical maximum tropical cyclone intensity based on oceanic heat content, which is a function of both sea surface temperature and how deep the warm water is. With equal sea surface temperature, the Caribbean can generate stronger cyclones than the Gulf, as the warm water, even at the height of the season, is much shallower. However, in late August the Gulf often gets warmer than the Caribbean, so as long as a cyclone moves fast enough to avoid sitting over the cooler water it churns to the surface, it can become/stay very strong.

(Recall October 1998's major killer hurricane, Hurricane Mitch, a Cat 5 storm, it only slowly meandered around Central America, but didn't weaken because the warm water is very deep. A Cat 5 storm in the Gulf that just meandered would quickly weaken as it churned up colder water under it. Consider 2002's Hurricane Lili, a Cat 4 heading for Louisiana. It crossed the cooler water upwelled by Tropical Storm Isidore, which hit Louisiana a week and a half before, and weakened to a borderline Cat 1/Cat 2 So you could say Isidore saved Louisiana from a major disaster.

A friend of mine took some pictures of Hurricane Lili

Ed Moran: must hafa...etc

I you don't mind what does your forecast mean for surface winds at the GOM coast in LA (lower Alabama for the uninitiated) during June 2-7. The tides are good then and I was thinking of going fishing for a few days.

I need winds LT 15kts to be comfortable and would really like them LT 10kts. (My boat can handle more than that but trying to fish is the pits.)

TIA (that's Thanks in advance, I'm not your Aunt) ;-p

That is one serious weather jones you got there.

;-)

light southeast winds, scattered afternoon showers mainly over land, scattered showers over the Gulf late night/early morning

Thanks.

I don't think that AQ's aim is Saudi royals, but making SA as unstable as possible, that will get oil prices rocketting. And this is a real objective - shaking and, ultimately destroying, the Western economies, the rest is just rhetorics.

"Islamic supremacists" is a precise term (thank you, Charles) for these bandits that really care only for their own supremacy, rather than the "glory of Islam". Their readiness to plunge Muslim first into turmoil, mayhem, death, and even greater powerty as a result, attests to this. This is a rather telling symptom, when we remember that the first victims of the Nazis egotrip were the Germans from late 1920s on, and that the first concentration camps were built in Germany for the Germans as well.

OTOH, killing their own kalifs/kings/sultans/shaiks/presidents/etc. is probably the longest tradition of Islam.

and on this note, this is a must read:

Terror's next target
The Journal of International Security Affairs, December 2003.

This too.

Time to start dusting off those old contingency plans for seizing the oil fields! Terrorists with multi-billion dollar assets - not going to happen. Saudi Arabia will kill the monster they helped create and feed or we will do it for ourselves (not for the royal family, let them move to exile in Geneva and stay there).
