Bakalaka derka derka!!! Jihad jihad mustang
Why, Why do we insist on releasing and printing information specific to the facts that lead to these creepo's capture? Why don't we just print a manual for the terrorists, 'Don't yell jihad while practice shooting' , 'Don't practice in groups', Etc.. How stupid are we?
This does raise doubts about putting so much effort into immigration controls and the image of rude officialdom which deters genuine visitors, when these are basically home-grown terrorists, who have been in the US for at least 17 months ? There's no point in fencing yourself in if the problem is already inside the fence
Almost every arrest made by the FBI ended with the person being released & being found NOT-GUILTY.
I think this will happen again.
John, we are probably on the same side but your comments are very short-sighted. Basically what yo are saying is, 'hey, there are already a few of them in here, so why don;t we just leave the door open and let the rest of them in.'
Come on John.
This is the same thinking as saying that there will be no long term implications of us leaving Iraq to the terrorists and pulling out. Not well thought out.
this is just more b.s. so bush can have his war funding
Just as a computer o/s cannot work properly if the code contains errors, so people cannot understand the reality of what is happening if the news is presented with bad grammar that defies logic.
Headline says, 'US foils alleged plot to attack US military base.'
Folks, when something is 'alleged' that means it may or may not exist. So, it follows logically, at best, that nothing may or may not have been foiled; a non-event.
A more accurate statement, one that would not tend to propagandize readers, might be, 'US allegedly foils plot, etc.' - or even better, 'US claims to foil alleged plot, etc.'
The sloppiness of language is just another example of the lazy, formulaic reportage that says, after an atrocity, such and such a group claimed 'responsibility.'
Hello? Did they offer to make restitution for the property damage? Pay for the medical costs of the victims? Promise lifetime support to the widows and orphans they created?
That would be Responsibility.
The word those reports should be using is 'blame' or a phrase such as 'confessed guilt for the crime.'
Words have meaning and weak words disguise reality.
Yes grammar is a problem, well put.
It was in 18th century, that a major alteration in Islam was done by Britt's agent Sir Humpherey and whabyism came into being. In 20th century another one was done under the auspices of CIA. The followers and those impressed by the beastly teachings of these versions, have gone back to arabism that predates Islam.
THE PROBLEM IS THAT NONMUSLIMS CALL THEM MUSLIM, BUT WE DO NOT RECOGNISE THE INNOCENT KILLERS AS PART OF US. TOO BAD FOR THEM!!
the only way to safe guard america is that everyone of us is going to have to be inveatagated.this is what the land of the free is coming to, yes our land. is it right hell no, what are the choices are we going to wait untill where all blown up. wake up america this is our country. every person who is not legal should be deported. the word illegal means just that your breaking the law.our boarder must be closed and they must stay closed for all our sakes. my grandparents came over from ireland years ago they were not allowed to just stroll in. there was a process at ellis island and they had to follow this process to the letter. they were checked for all kinds of desease and if they did have a desease they were quarentened. and if it was a bad desease they were sent back home. they got paper work from ellis island clearing them to enter the united states. they were not allowed to just say well here i am now im your problem. i for one am sick and tired of haveing to pay taxes for these people, i dont want to anymore, i cant afford the things i need for my family. why is it that there allowed not to pay taxes and get away with it. where all just letting these people get away with it. maybey it time that we went to lawyers and sued for our rights not to pay taxes, than maybey our politicians will wake up.
joanne you are so right. if all of us stopped complaining and took a stand, this would not be the problem that it is today, im with you if they dont have to follow the law then we shouldnt either.
you said it joann.
Yea, lets give up our moral fiber for the arseholes whom want power not religion. That is all it comes down to they want to us to be slaves of Islam and pray three times a day to Allah and the rest of the day to them. BS kick all the arses out and and grant each illegal immigrant from Mexico whom finds a radical islamist or a plot to kill innocent Americans a full citizenship. Hell do like Mencina said tell them that if they work the border and let one illiegal immigrant in then that guy is going to take your place and we send him back! And lets let Pelosi oversee the budget since she is going to surrender to Bin Laden she must have alot of good ideas to fix social security since she won't be collecting it due to the fact all the pompus senators and representitives get a life time pension for them and thier spouses even after the member dies his or her spouse collects. If they get thrown out of congress they still collect. Lets talk about that for a few minutes on Fox and CNN and see what happens in November!!
