March 11th, 2004's train bombings in Madrid were called 'Spain's 9/11' by both the ousted Conservative 'Popular Party' and the government controlled press. The reference to 9/11 was of course an attempt to forge a link in the minds of the Spanish and world populations between the September 11th attacks and the Madrid bombings.

'Turned' double-agents are an unfortunate breed. Caught at a "vulnerable time" in their lives by the enemy, the ones with a conscience live out their days attempting to justify their disloyalty to others and themselves. The
conscienceless ones probably don't give it a second thought.
Many of the "Kassam" type rockets that Gaza terrorists use to attack Israel and make life in the Sderot area unbearable are manufactured with Israeli pipes. This information surfaced after the arrest of a Gazan metal trader last month and his interrogation - the details of which were under a gag order until now.
Comment: In other words, Mossad provides the rockets and/or the "terrorists", and tortures Amer Zak, who "confesses" that he "buys" the pipes from Israel.

US President George W Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney might as well declare the Iraq war over and out. As far as they - and the humongous energy interests they defend - are concerned, only now is the mission really accomplished. More than half a trillion dollars spent and perhaps half a million Iraqis killed have come down to this.
Comment: In other words, Mossad provides the rockets and/or the "terrorists", and tortures Amer Zak, who "confesses" that he "buys" the pipes from Israel.
