An excerpt:
In the grandest deception of all, earlier this year the Clintons welcomed this group in the White House under the facade of a "mainstream" Muslim group. Comparatively speaking, CAIR is about as moderate as the Ku Klux Klan. Surely you as a member of the public should know that Mr. Awad has stated openly -- on video, no less-that he is "in favor of Hamas." Proponents of radical Islam have discovered that they can advance their cause by inverting their message, invoking the politically correct charges to which Western society has become vulnerable: human rights violations, racism, and denial of civil rights. In an egalitarian culture appropriately sensitive to its historical and ongoing mistreatment of minorities, the charge of discrimination has an intrinsically popular appeal. But in the case of militant Islam in the West, the extremists have shrewdly parlayed their minority status into that of being a victim of religious and ethnic repression.

Former Atty General Dick Thornberg, and Did Bill Clinton miss the chanced to cut off money from terrorists.
It was a standing joke that he could not get an appointment to see Clintigula.
That about sums it up.
And the scolding I'm almost positive that every kid has heard from their Mom or Dad was .......if everybody else jumped off a bridge would you do it too ??? ..... Of course this was right before I got a boot in the butt as a reminder of the proper answer.
My point I guess is this isn't a game these folks are playing, I don't think anyone individual is being full of themselves by asking all to reconsider posting what they know or think they know regarding IED's and UXO. Sure it's available everywhere and everybody else is doing it..............
Stay Safe !
Wallaby, great find, as susal.
Do what you feel is right for you, but consider the consequences.
FR is a very popular and wide-read site. You can bet that we have lurkers/members who would like to be educated on the manufacture/use of explosives/IED's and munitions. If they obtain that information from other sources, so be it....but it won't come from me. It's a matter of personal integrity.
EODGUY
I still think they had the condoms for some of the local farm animals in the Phillipines. Hey if they have a condum on they are not being unclean by touching a pig.
Stay well - Stay safe - Stay armed - Yorktown
My guess is that Collingwood is one of the twenty-something bureaucrats that were spoken of in the article. I run into them frequently in my job. While quite a lot of them have work ethics and principles that most of us old forty-somethings still aspire to, there are way too many of these kids entering the workforce willing to do or say anything that will move them another inch up the ladder. They'll lie to your face, not caring that you know they're lying. They'll take the low road or the high road... it doesn't matter to them, as long as it leads them to more money or power. They play the PC game to their advantage like professional cardsharks. The guys who knew that something like a 9/11 was coming - or was at least possible - were sidetracked and shuffled off into retirement by the Clinton administration. The guys who were willing to go out and give asinine and false statements to the press - like Collingwood - were commended, rewarded, and promoted - at the cost of human life.
