SAUDI-FUNDED ANTI-AMERICANISM
Posted on 06/07/2006 2:26:59 PM PDT by jmc1969
A Saudi man who authorities say was upset about being denied a job as an Arabic interpreter for the U.S. military in Iraq was charged with threatening to blow up a Delta Air Lines flight.
Saleh Al Suwailem, 45, of Boise, Idaho, was arrested by the FBI on Tuesday.
Al Suwailem was at Fort Benning on Monday being interviewed for the job when he learned he would not be hired because he was denied security clearance, federal authorities said in court papers.
After being told to fly home to Idaho the next day on a Delta flight, he started drinking with some acquaintances and blurted out, "OK, I'm going to bomb the plane," authorities said.

New story line for Law and Order.
Gee, I can't imagine why he didn't get the clearance....
I'm sure his friends must've misheard him. Just like those Islamist medical students who got stopped on the tollroad. < /sarc >
The Saudis are our friend. Their must have been a mix-up with an Amish or Hmong passenger.
SAUDI-FUNDED ANTI-AMERICANISM
WTF?
Come On! GW told us that all these foreigners want is a job that NOBODY else will do.
Search his name. Almost same name as the Saudi jihad leader in Chechnya known as "Khattab"
Not saying the two are connected but must have raised eyebrows.
at least our process for granting clearances still works.
Demanding a job from an Infidel airline
A real mind teaser, eh. LOL
A militant Wahhabi Arab Muslim in Boise, Idaho!!?
Is no place in America left uncontaminated? Not even the sparsely populated, incredibly beautiful American Northwest?
(at least the terrs in Idaho are easier to spot)
"Al Suwailem was at Fort Benning on Monday being interviewed for the job when he learned he would not be hired because he was denied security clearance"
I'm guessing that somebody is feeling PRETTY darn comfortable with their "no clearance" decision right about now.
It's just the friskiness of those zany, wacky Muslims .... Mohammad started the zaniness of these fun loving people when he instructed his followers to drink camel urine ... they did it ... then they gagged and coughed for two days while Mohammad ROTFLHAO! The fun loving Muslim tradition goes way back.

They've certainly covered their bases, eh.
New test for mental stability of job applicants:
Tell them they've been rejected for the job and see if they start making bomb threats, etc.
Geeesh, sounds like we dodged a bullet by not hiring this bozo for our intel world. Why can't we just air-drop people like him over Saudi-land?
I know, can't imagine why he didn't get the clearance. Way to go, military.
Sounds like they need to distill the guy's brain for his decisioning process on interpreters and security clearances.
My question is.. are they going to investigate his contacts?
He's going to Disney Gitmo.
Give the background-check guys an eff'ing raise!!! They spotted this whacknut a mile away!
Conversation went something like this:
(Picture Ollie North type Interviewer)
Ahh, Saleh? We were looking at some problems with your background- it seems your brother, father, uncle and grandfather are all named Muhammed-Jihad Osama bin Laden..... except you. Care to elaborate on that?
"O.K., One day me and Muhammed..."
Interviewer- "which one?"
"my brother."
Interviewer- "go on."
"Me and my brother are walking through the woods and we spotted a hole in the ground in some tall grass. So I bent over to take a look, and it was very deep. We dropped a couple of rocks down the hole, but no sound."
Interviewer- "So, then what happened?"
Saleh- "I dropped some larger rocks down the hole, still no sound of rocks hitting bottom. I said, brother, I know what we will do! See that railroad tie over there? We will drop it. Surely we will hear something! So we went about dropping the railroad tie down the hole. Suddenly, out of nowhere, a crazed goat runs as fast as he can across in front of us like a bullet and down into the hole. We just looked at each other in amazement. It was at that time that a man appeared from the underbrush, looking for something- it was my uncle, Muhammed. I said uncle! Did you not see that?!?! That goat ran past us and down that bottomless hole right there!
Uncle M.- "That's impossible!, I had him tied to that railroad tie over there!"
Interviewer- "wow."
Saleh- "You see, That was my uncle's prized goat, and so to punish me they name me after goat...
Interviewer- "And you want to translate for the U.S. Army? Be on the first flight back to Boise."
Saleh- "Do you not want to hear how I accidentally staked my brother's goat to fire-ant hill at the terrorist training camp outside Atlanta? Ran 'round and 'round for threee weeks, threee weeks I tell you..."
Interviewer- "uh, have a nice day."
Re-read the story. He was applying for an interpreter position with the US military!
SFC,
With all due respect, there are too many in servie now. I personally know of one that doesn't give a damn about the USA. I could go on, but never mind.
Take care,
BR
fun loving Muslim tradition goes way back.
Yep!
Roger that. I don't believe any muzzies should be allowed in uniform, and to get aroung the whole translation thing, we all need crash courses in Arabic, Pashtun, etc. That way we really can kill em all and let someone else clean up the mess. heeheeh
