If this is true, we now know why the big delay in announcing his name and were did he come from.

A question for Tiger Likes Rooster:

Are there Koreans with Manchurian ancestors? This guy was very tall compared to most Koreans and to me had a Manchurian appearance versus Korean?

I’m withholding judgment until more of the contents of the letter are disclosed. If this was somehow inspired by Islam, there will be more evidence than something he wrote on his arm.

You can bet his computer is at the FBI laboratory.

Good afternoon, Dave,

Thought this was interesting this morning and it got me wondering....why Ismail Ax. The guy is regularly described in the news as a loner, an iconoclast (my description) and as such may have been befriended, recruited by those who bear US ill will, namely radical Islam. Hope the Feebies follow up on tracking his associations but little faith any discoveries will ever make the news.

Recruiting malcontents and the weak fits the pattern of the Oklahoma bombing, the Beltway snipers, and the Norman bomber and many others.

Re #19

There should be many whose ancestors are Manchurian. There were not a small migrant inflow of Manchurians into Korea over centuries. Also Manchurians and other Northern nomadic tribes frequently invaded Korea.

A majority of Koreans are also of Northern Asian heritage. As a result, they are quite similar to Manchurians.

However, many young Koreans are pretty tall compared with their parents. It is not uncommon to see 6' Korean guys these days.
