Zog intel always seems to know about "al Qaeda Plotting 'Big Bang's" but never the twain shall meet. You would think that an intelligence network that can 'figger this shit out might just be able to catch the mofo's.

Coincidently, US "officals" like to talk to CBS about the whole matter. Pffttt...who would have thought. Spectacular terrorism is coming...according to....CBS. Nyuk nuck.

Alas, Bin Laden and al-Zarqawi just be to smart fo uz. Iraq falling into civil war. What to do?

Get out while the gettings good? Naa, That would be cutting and running and Americans never run..cept when a jew tell-em to. Better to invade Iran and catch those Arab bad nastys while we can. We'll catch Bin and Al sooner or later but in the meantime we'll take out another one of Israels enemys and swipe a whole lot of oil to boot.

Did I mention a whole lot of White guys are gonna die, not to mention millions of ragheads in the process? And of course the whole world is gonna hate our guts but what the hey....were just bringing democracy to the unenlightened.

(CBS/AP) U.S. officials tell CBS News that intelligence has picked up reports that al Qaeda in Iraq is planning what one source calls the "Big Bang," a spectacular terrorist attack in Iraq against either a single high-profile target or multiple targets simultaneously.

Last week's mosque bombing in city of Samarra that brought Iraq to the brink of civil war was the work of terrorists, some U.S. officials have theorized. Abu Musab al-Zarqawi seems to be betting that another big bang would push the country over the brink, reports CBS News correspondent David Martin. The bomb in one of the holiest sites for Shiite Muslims set off violence all across the country that left hundreds dead.

The Iraqi government has banned all private vehicles in Baghdad during daylight hours Friday, the Muslim prayer day, just as it did last week. That kept car bombs, what the military cars vehicle-born improvised explosive devices, off the streets.

But Zarqawi just waited until the ban was lifted.

"The day the vehicle ban was lifted, all these VBIEDS that he had staged he deployed in Iraq and detonated over the last three days," said Maj. Gen. Rick Lynch, a U.S. military spokesman.

This week, the ban takes effect when the overnight curfew ends at 6 a.m. Friday and will last until 4 p.m. Friday, according to a statement issued by the prime minister's office. Police and army were instructed to seal off the capital and seize any private vehicles that defy the ban.

Pentagon officials are also worried that a terrorist spectacular will undermine administration claims about progress in Iraq and therefore weaken public support for the war here at home, Martin reports.

Also Thursday, a bomb ripped through a vegetable market in a Shiite section of Baghdad and a leading Sunni politician escaped an attack on his convoy as at least 36 people were killed in unrelenting violence pushing Iraq toward civil war.

As sectarian killing surged last week, the U.S. 2nd Brigade, 1st Armored Division was put on alert in neighboring Kuwait for a possible move into Iraq, the military said. But no orders were given for such a move.

The violence has complicated talks to form a broad-based government, which U.S. officials consider essential to cut support for insurgents among the Sunni-Arab minority so coalition forces can start drawing down later this year.
