Does Fox know something we don't?

greenspun.com : LUSENET : Current News - Homefront Preparations : One Thread

While it's true there's interest in the arms inspectors, I noticed today that Steve Harrigan is reporting from Amman, Jordan, which is of course near the border with Iraq. Steve is Fox's best war correspondent. . .

I think Fox probably has better rumor sources than the other news agencies.

Btw, Geraldo is in Larnica, Cyprus, where the inspectors are staging.

Anyone feeling a little more nervous about this?

I feel like something is hanging, waiting to happen. Could be something personal, or it could be something international. hard to tell.

Back to Fox's sources. Obviously, Fox is not the only one with reliable sources, Bush has pretty reliable sources too. So when Bush says he takes the bin Laden tape seriously, well, I figure we ought to take it seriously too. Credible news and political sources wouldn't dare make statements about what rumors they've heard, not unless they were really strong and coming from a multitude of sources, so all we can od is try and read between the lines. When I hear that there's more trqffic from the usual suspects, well, I have to wonder a) is it fake babble? or 2) is it legit? Doesn't hurt to consider it legit until proved otherwise.

If I know this lot, we take precautions anyway, doesn't have to be a heightened alert, not unless it's very specific as to target anyway. I have a feeling the "three continents" mentioned might not include the US. Maybe UK, France and Germany. I doubt they would mess with Syria, nothing big anyway, they haven't had time to plan an op since Syria's UN vote and they seem to need some time to plan. Could be too that Syria put out the word that it would vote that way but it was just window-dressing.

I dunno. All I can do is all I can do.

I caught the tail end of Coast-to-Coast this morning. George Noury was interviewing Steve Quayle. Pretty nasty stuff, but then that is what Quayle specializes in. George broke off at one point to respond to a flood of e-mails he had received during the program that, no, nothing had happened, we weren't under attack. A little bit like tuning into War of the Worlds (which was rebroadcast recently but I couldn't pick it up).
