[scribblet]

How about this, wonder if this will give Canadians cause for concern, and what would it take.

Al-Qaida targets Alaskan pipeline Muslims urged to launch attack from Mexico and Canada

Matthew Ramsey The Province

Friday, January 20, 2006

B.C.'s energy sector is on heightened alert after an al-Qaida-affiliated Internet blog message called on Canadian and U.S. jihadists to attack an Alaskan oil pipeline.

The 12-page posting targets the Trans-Alaska Pipeline specifically and energy infrastructure in California and Mexico in general. It was discovered and translated from Arabic Dec. 30 by the Washington-based SITE Institute.

The posting advocates riddling the iconic pipeline with bullets, blowing it up and causing large fires to complicate repair efforts, and attacking ocean-going tankers or fuel depots in Valdez.

"The most suitable candidates for these operations are our American Muslim brothers who live on the land of trash . . . Also, we can add to this jihad group any other groups who can reach the American terrorist regime, either directly or through neighbouring countries, like Canada or Mexico," the posting says.

While refusing to confirm or deny any investigations that may or may not be under way, Canadian Security Intelligence Service spokeswoman Barbara Campion said the threat has been noted.

"ITAC [the Integrated Threat Assessment Centre] is well aware of the Internet posting," she said.

The Alaska pipeline is composed of steel, averaging about 1/2 inch thickness. (.462-.562 inch).

Some armored vehicles are not equipped with that thickness of steel.

Bullets are NOT going to penetrate THAT.

At least not bullets from any weapon that a single person can carry.

Explosives are a different story.

Hmmm. It appears I have to take that back

A single bullet hole in the Alaska pipeline in 2001 saw 300,000 gallons of crude oil leaking out.

I wonder if this will have any effect on Canada's immigration policies?

Liberals are a bunch of MORONS.

The Liberals don't consider the Tamil Tigers terrorists because when they are here they vote Liberal.

I don't even know what they think about al-Qaida...

BTW: I REALLY hope Harper wins if JUST for this reason.

Nope. They're so petrified of offending a minority that if we got threatened as a result Martin would hand over the keys to Sussex Drive to try to fix whatever they found offensive.

If it weren't in their best interests to keep North America terror free, I wouldn't blame them if the Americans refused to help. After all, all Martin's done is scream no and belittle them every time they ask for our help.

That will prove an interesting endevour, Inuit are extremely well armed, and very good shots. I might suggest a generous bounty as motivation.

[chrisparker]

terrorism doesn't exist. al qaida is a creation of western governments. read my posting under us politics.

there are no attacks planned by terrorists on the us but us government ordered attacks to keep the people afraid.

If that's not sarcastic, you really need some help.

Well the fact that the Khadr family is roming around free in Canada should tell you something. It's also largely ignored by the leftist media that Jean Chretien secured the release of Ahmed Khadr from Pakistan freeing him to continue his fight against "the great satan".

I know. I think that liberals believe that our innate right to commit acts of terror is written into both the US and Canadians Constitution and the Canadian Bill of Rights just for good measure.

Come on now, although terrorists are "not true followers of Islam" they have the right to practice their religion. Especially if it involves the propegating of Jewish and American hate...

From you I see that as sarcastic. But from the left of either of our countries I could see that being a serious statement.

[I miss Reagan]

What were Paul Martins coments with respect to the Khadrs? I remember it being something like "in this country you have the right to say and believe what you want".

I know that it's kind of an inside policy of Immigration Canada to encourge immigration from areas known to harbour hatred towards Americans.

[geoffrey]

Lock 'em up!!

I can see why the yanks would be concerned considering we have these Khadr's on the loose and we are trying to 'liberate' a Canadian terrorist from Gitmo. Terrorism is an acceptable practice under our government if it buys votes (I'd bring up the Madela argument, but I know it'll hijack the post so just ignore it please ), and this is unacceptable.

The greatest threat to the environment in Alaska isn't oil development, but these terrorists.

If only Canadians knew their socialist wet dream isn't possible without countries like the US that consumes fully 70% of our exports. Without the US to protect us like our big brother we'd actually have to have a respectable military. Where would the all money for our utopia come from?

I don't want to become the US anymore than the libs. But I see them for what they are and respect them accordingly.

I was watching a show from the US where they were argueing about the porous Mexican border and terrorists coming through. One of the guys made a great point in saying something to the effect of forget about Mexico, it's Canada we have to worry about because the terrorists are already there and have a large Muslim population to hide in.

I think it's also important to mention Canada's increasingly adversarial role against the US in the way we are giving asylum to US citizens seeking to escape military commitments.

And a ton of them drive trucks which can easily hide large bombs and transport them cross country.

I actually saw US customs parade 7 of them out of a truck once. YES! 7! Out of a truck that can legally hold 3. Logistically hold 4. 7! In a Volvo VN770! The customs agent beside me in my booth and I first dropped jaw and then laughed our butts off. She told me it happens once or twice a week.

Your a customs agent Hicksey?

Either way... Canada needs to start taking more responsibily for our border security, in both our interest and the interest of our neighbours. Not only that, but kicking out these terrorists, or at least locking them up. Having the Khadr's around saying they love Osama and the jihad isn't really the sterotypical Canadian image now is it?

We have to be careful and not hurt those immigrants in our country that are contributing to our society and have a real interest in being patriotic, peaceful Canada. And that is probably 99% of them. But that doesn't mean we have to be light on those that aren't in that group. The Khadr's ruin it for the rest of them. I'm sure most immigrants to Canada would love to see them gone.

Without people like them around, tolerance towards immigrant groups would go way up.

Got it, my bad. Makes sense, I thought you were in the booth, so I assumed.

terrorism doesn't exist. al qaida is a creation of western governments. read my posting under us politics.

there are no attacks planned by terrorists on the us but us government ordered attacks to keep the people afraid.

So that is what the Liberals think of convicted terrorists living on our soil.

LMAO People in TO vote Liberal...they must not be the ones riding the subway...

tml, I hate to say it, but Chris Parker is brilliant. He's completely right, just read the last post of his.

We need not fear the terrorists, but the Galactic Federation. Chris, I am very concenred about this? Does the Galatic Federation have the same agenda with Canada? Are they going to take over our national bank and switch us to the gold system again?

Since I can order attacks now a days, can I get my next one with a coke?
