U.S. Secret Service agents arrested a 32-year-old woman who was sharpening a 13-inch machete outside the White House.

Passersby alerted police that the woman was sitting on the sidewalk, and had pulled the blade out of a leather sheath and was sharpening it on the edge of the sidewalk Sunday afternoon.

Some local store may have had a special on 13 inch machetes this weekend, special price for peace activists.

It might be that other kind of machete that is very heavy and can be used as a hammer, an ax, or a walnut crusher but is nearly useless for slashing jungle vegetation or sugar cane.

Perhaps she was a Tsuti looking for one last Hutu.

Maybe it was Cindy Sheehan, Hillary Rod-Ram-Ham, Maxine Waters, Barbara Boxer, Cynthia McFruitcake, etc., etc.

The lib's would say... “She has some 'issues'.” The 'progressives' would say... “She's becoming 'proactive'.”

Wow nomention of her ethnicity.

Ashwak Saleh was arrested and turned over to the Washington Metro Police Department, and charged with possession of a prohibited weapon.

Peace activist?

Sounds like this one is about 5 1/2 cans short of a 6-pack. Really, did she expect that no one was looking, that she was just going to waltz on in to the WH and hack off someone's head?

Thank you, L-rd, for making so many of our enemies stupid and crazy...now, if we could just have a little help with the Neville Chamberlain-wannabees we'll feel much better.

I was just sharpening my blade, given to me by that wonderful peace activist, Ayman al-Zawahiri, and the secret service failed to reognize me, a black woman, a woman who is black, not a white, not a man, but a black woman. I never said it was out of racism, but they failed to recognize me, a black woman.

Who do these serfs, these wretched masses think they are, failing to recognize me, a black woman?

Oh, come now. How do we know she really wasn't just sharpening her knife innocently and just happened to be outside the White House at the time? So nasty of you people to just make these horrible assumptions without knowing the whole story!

"Ashwak Saleh"

An Arabic name, what a coincidence. A quick Google reveals that she was named after a "beloved" prophet. How unusual for such a person to be doing what she was doing. I can make no sense out of this, it is equally as confusing the poor man falsely accused of murder in Seattle the other day when he was just celebrating in the traditional manner.

A machete is a prohibited weapon? Doesn't that fall under "arms"?
