Hmm, it looks like they are up to the same stuff again. Ding ding round two this time it is Iran. We have heard all the banter in the last two years.

I read about this in my local news paper and thought hmmm what are they up to and what is happening, what is being planned. Let me guess, a US ISRAEL attack on Iran blah blah blah - This is going to change our world. They forget Iran is a Huge country. Though Biden did say it could be one of many scenario's .

Colin Powell Warns Of Coming Crisis "We Don't Even Know About Right Now" Echoes Biden comments that Obama will be tested in early days of his term

Steve Watson Infowars.net Tuesday, Oct 21, 2008

Colin Powell has made bizarre comments that echo the recent declaration by Democratic VP candidate Joe Biden that there will be an "international crisis" early into Barack Obama's presidency that will test the new president by forcing him to make unpopular decisions.

Speaking on meet the press two days ago, Powell officially endorsed Obama and also made the following statement:

"The problems will always be there and there's going to be a crisis which will come along on the 21st, 22nd of January that we don't even know about right now.

So I think what the President has to start to do is to start using the power of the oval office and the power of his personality to convince the American people and convince the world that America is solid, that America is going to move forward, we are going to fix our economic problems, we're going to meet out overseas obligations."

Watch Powell make the comment at 2.35 into the following video:

Is Colin Powell referring to a theoretical crisis that could occur at any time? If so why does he choose a specific date, within the first two days after the inauguration? Also why does he refer to general problems that the new president will have to deal with in a separate context? We are already in an economic crisis, everyone knows that, so what new crisis is Powell talking about?

Whatever you read into Powell's comments, they sound somewhat bizarre, particularly as they come on the back of Joe Biden's "guarantee" of a "generated crisis" to "test the mettle" of the new leader within six months of the new presidential term:

What does Biden mean by "generated crisis"? It is an undeniably strange term to use.

His reference to John F. Kennedy indicates that Biden may have been referring some kind of geopolitical crisis in the vain of the Cuban missile crisis of April 1961. The confrontation between the United States, the Soviet Union, and Cuba at the height of the Cold War came within the first four months of JFK's presidency.

Obama's running mate made the comments at a fundraising event in Seattle two days ago, on the same day Powell also spoke of a coming crisis.

We shouldn't be surprised at Powell's comments however, given that the former Secretary of State seemingly has a knack for predicting events before they take place.

Previous to the beginning of the Iraq war in February 2003, an audio tape containing a voice described as that of Osama Bin Laden was touted as proof positive of Al Qaeda links with Saddam Hussein. http://www.prisonplanet.com/another_dubious_bin_laden_tape_comes_when_the_us_needed_it_the_most.htm

Hours before the tape was discovered and aired by TV channel Al Jazeera, Powell announced in the US Senate that a "Bin Laden tape is coming proving Iraq's links with Al-Qaeda."  http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/americas/2750439.stm

This led some to raise the question how does Colin Powell know what Al Jazeera are going to broadcast before they do?

In an amazing and timely coincidence, the tape came barely a week after Powell's attempts to link Al Qaeda and Saddam in his botched presentation of lies and exaggerations before the UN Security Council.

Biden predicts early crisis will test Obama

Posted: 08:00 AM ET

From CNN Political Producer Alexander Marquardt

Biden predicts Obama will have to make some unpopular decisions in his first six months in office.

SEATTLE (CNN) — Joe Biden told Democratic fundraisers Sunday night that there is no doubt in his mind a crisis will occur during Barack Obama's first six months in office that will test his mettle and force him to make unpopular decisions.

"Mark my words. It will not be six months before the world tests Barack Obama like they did John Kennedy," said Biden to a roomful of donors. "The world is looking. We're about to elect a brilliant 47-year-old senator president of the United States of America."

"Remember I said it standing here, if you don't remember anything else I said," Biden continued. "Watch, we're going to have an international crisis, a generated crisis, to test the mettle of this guy.

"I promise you it will occur. As a student of history and having served with seven presidents, I guarantee you it's going happen. I can give you at least four or five scenarios from where it might originate."

The Delaware senator spoke at two Seattle fundraises Sunday night, expected to bring in $1 million for the campaign. Biden told the supporters that when Obama will need them to stand with the administration on the difficult calls — not financially, but by using their influence within their communities to convince others that the right decisions are being made.

"I promise you, you all are going to be sitting here a year from now going, 'Oh my God, why are they there in the polls, why is the polling so down, why is this thing so tough?' We're going have to make some incredibly tough decisions in the first two years," said Biden. "I'm asking you now, be prepared to stick with us. Remember the faith you had at this point because you're going to have to reinforce us."

Telling the crowd to "gird their loins" for a bumpy beginning to the next presidential term, Biden said it wouldn't be initially apparent that the correct decisions are being made because "they're not likely to be as popular as they are sound. Because if they're popular, they're probably not sound."

Fundraisers are generally closed to the media's cameras, though print journalists are usually allowed in. Biden appeared to forget Sunday night's fundraiser wasn't closed to reporters, saying, "I probably shouldn't have said all this because it dawned on me that the press is here." Moments later, he ended his remarks.

Another dubious Bin Laden tape comes when the US needed it the most Timing, quality of audio make tape controversial LONDON: The Arab-language television station, al-Jazeera, has broadcast a message allegedly from Osama bin Laden, in which he calls for Muslims to stand with the Iraqi people against the United States. The message was contained in a poor quality audio recording in which a man's voice, identified as Bin Laden's, is heard calling for suicide attacks against Americans and resistance to any attack on Iraq, reports BBC. The Bush administration believes the tape to almost certainly be genuine and officials say the message heralds a "burgeoning alliance of terror". Before the Al-Jazeera broadcast the tape, US Secretary of State was quick to announce in the US Senate that �Bin Laden tape is coming proving Iraq�s links with Al-Qaeda.� The broadcast came on the same day that the head of the CIA, George Tenet, warned of an increased risk of al-Qaeda attacks in the US and on the Arabian Peninsula using a "dirty bomb" or poisons. Although no where in the tape, so-called �Bin Laden� referred to his alliance with Sadam Hussein of Iraq, the US media and government are describing it as a proof to their allegations that Saddam has links with Al-Qaeda. But the BBC's security correspondent, Frank Gardner, said the figure on the tape voiced support for Iraq, but that in no way did it prove a link between al-Qaeda and the Iraqi leadership. It may be recalled here that last year there was a video tape allegedly released by Bin Laden. But, experts in many European countries declared the tape as fake. Only the US experts were insisting that the tape was genuine. Even the people who have seen Bin Laden in person refuted that the guy shown in the video was actually Bin Laden. Perhaps this setback forced the CIA and Mossad strategists to bring in an audio tape instead of a video. 'Muslim brothers' The US was put on orange alert - the second highest - last week because of threats coming from multiple sources which have strong links to al-Qaeda. Earlier, US Secretary of State Colin Powell said he had read a transcript of the alleged Bin Laden tape and that it confirmed links between the militant group, blamed for the 11 September attacks, and Iraq. Mr Powell last week sought to make a connection between Iraqi President Saddam Hussein's regime and al-Qaeda during a presentation to the United Nations Security Council. But the BBC's security correspondent, Frank Gardner, said the figure on the tape voiced support for Iraq, but that in no way did it prove a link between al-Qaeda and the Iraqi leadership. In the broadcast the speaker addresses his "Muslim brothers in Iraq" and calls for Muslims to show solidarity with the Iraqi people in any confrontation with the US. He gives practical tips on how Iraqis may resist a military attack by digging trenches and drawing fighting into the cities. Identity Analyzed He said that any Muslim regime which supported a US-led military action against Iraq would be an "apostate". "All those who co-operate with the Americans against Iraq are hostile to Islam," said the voice on the tape, which was broadcast alongside a photograph of al-Qaeda's fugitive leader. Several other statements allegedly made by al-Qaeda members, including Bin Laden, have been broadcast by al-Jazeera in the past. In the past, the US has accused al-Jazeera of being a mouthpiece for al-Qaeda propaganda. US and Britain on Alert The speaker on the tape repeated previous messages calling for attacks on American targets. "We stress the importance of martyrdom attacks against the enemy. These attacks inflicted on America and Israel a disaster they have never experienced before," the message said. On Tuesday, Mr Tenet said US intelligence officials had received information of a possible attack that was "the most specific we have seen". Mr Tenet said the areas being targeted were America and the Arabian peninsula and that the information pointed to a possible attack as early as the end of the Hajj festival, later this week. Mr Tenet added that the information pointed to a dirty bomb plot - in which radioactive materials or poisons could be dispersed. The head of the FBI, Robert Mueller added his own warning, saying al-Qaeda had the ability to inflict significant casualties in the United States with little warning. Britain has also massively stepped up security at London's Heathrow airport in response to what a spokesman for Downing Street said was a specific threat. Tanks and troops were drafted in to guard against what police sources said was a possible rocket attack by al-Qaeda. Wednesday, February 12, 2003

Once again [Bin Laden] speaks to the people of Iraq and talks about their struggle and how he is in partnership with Iraq Colin Powell Arab TV station al-Jazeera has confirmed it has an audio tape which it is examining, despite earlier denying any knowledge of it. Several other statements allegedly made by al-Qaeda members, including Bin Laden, have been broadcast by the station. Mr Powell sought to make a connection between Iraqi President Saddam Hussein's regime and al-Qaeda during a presentation to the United Nations Security Council last week. Jordanian's role Mr Powell told the Senate Budget Committee on Tuesday that he had read a transcript "of what Bin Laden, or who we believe to be Bin Laden, will be saying on al-Jazeera during the course of the day". "Once again he speaks to the people of Iraq and talks about their struggle and how he is in partnership with Iraq," Mr Powell said. At the Security Council, Mr Powell laid out what he said was proof that Baghdad was linked to al-Qaeda, whom the US blames for the 11 September attacks on New York and Washington. His evidence focused on the role of a Jordanian al-Qaeda associate, Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, whom he said was operating in northern Iraq. The testimony was greeted with a significant level of scepticism on both sides of the Atlantic. On Tuesday, the head of the CIA, George Tenet, warned of an increased risk of al-Qaeda attacks in the US and on the Arabian peninsula.
