What are they doing here?
The American government is failing to use the greatest tool it has in stopping the misbehavior of the arab world:
All they have to do is not educate their youth here in America, and the whole arab infrastructure collapses in about five years.
These people can't tie their own shoelaces, and we can completely control them by just not teaching them anything.
It's the greedy university administrators, and similar people who run flight schools, etc., who are selling America down the river by agreeing to train them in anything 20th-century.
bttt
yeah, we don't have to worry now, do we? most of us will know what a blue warning means, won't we? how about yellow, purple, red? we're safe, no worries....[/sarcasm]
LMAO! You're right Powell is so good at the Game of Socialist Bluffing It has been reported by an unamed source that on occasion he has been known to bluff himself. He also never goes out of the house without at least one concealed-carry bluff under his coat.
There is no way to prevent such attacks, although they can be reduced in frequency. Even if all their nukes are intercepted and they are denied further use of airliners, they can still make smaller attacks like they do in Indonesia, Israel, India, and Philippines [the list goes on.] Even on full national alert it is not possible to watch everyone at all times. Of course everyone could be confined to their houses forever and your papers checked 14 times a day if starving everyone to death is an option.
Give us time, comrade.
The use of the word heartland could be a warning, could be a message, could be a figurative use of the word, i.e., the heart of the country, the heart of the economy. Could be code. Wherever they strike they'll want to have maximum impact on the economy. Houston comes to mind. And isn't that a big cardiology center? hmmm....dum de da dum
Immediately after 9/11, I might have thought that a bit extreme. But I have come around to your way of thinking. At the very least, we need to stop them from coming into the country, even just to visit. Otherwise we will pay a terrible price.
Word has also gotten out (possibly from the same unnamed source you referred to in your post) that when travelling abroad Powell is accompanied by an unknown "mystery man" who is charged with carrying the so called "softball," which is a suitcase crammed with highly advanced, cutting edge bluffs, to be unleashed should a difficult situation warrent such a measure.
The suitcase also contains a Groucho Marx nose and eyeglasses mask to be used as a last resort, should all the bluffs not work.
I don't think so.........they will not wipeout any Large or Small "Mexican" city centers! ANYWHERE!!
'Heartland'=Any Government Staffed Buildings!
'Heartland'= The "Buildings" of Bureaucracy and its Related Components/Extentions!
EVERYWHERE!
