I, too am sorry for your lose. I pray for God to surround the family with the Comfort that He promises. May God strengthen each of you for the days of grief and mourning ahead.

May we all resolve to pray for our President, those who advise him and those heroes who stand in harms way fighting and protecting us from just such an event. God bless us all....

Great call on C-Span.
I want to get in too....

The "actual" terrorists usually die in their crime. Therefore cannot be "hunted" down.

It will take a sane and logical person or group to finally release the brainwashed masses and convince them that their death-cult mentality will not work in the end to ensure the political outcome they crave.

Arafat has proved that "condemnation" is not enough.

The moslems cannot comdemn in one breath, and sympathize with the "cause" in the next.

The deliberate killing of innocents must never be rationalized.

[EverOnward]

Praying for you and his family now. It seems wherever there is Islam, there is sorrow. "By their fruits ye shall know them."

What call on CSPAN?

Jake Young is originally from my part of the country. I'm from the Lubbock area, Jake is from Midland-Odessa and I remember back when he was a high schooler my RED RAIDERS were recruiting him and during a recruiting trip, he got the opportunity to go to a TECH basketball game and was selected for the the halftime halfcourt shot contest. Jake ended up making the shot, which was worth about $1000 bucks. Unfortunately, Jake could not claim the cash since he was a recruit and could not take money from TECH, even if he had won it fair and square.

Its strange that a tragedy like the Bali terrorist attack more closely hit home when some of the people involved are folks you are familiar with. There is much pain and suffering for the families of those who have died and for those who are injured and for all of them I pray, but I have to admit I really pray that Jake Young will be found alive and well. I never knew him, but from what I know, he is a fine person.

"By their fruits ye shall know them."

Exactly.

Here's another story on it, quoting his father who lives in Midland.

Oh Dave, there was the most intelligent, rational, insightful, articulate caller from Upland this morning on C-span. Of course I would think it was you.

[texasbluebell]

What a great loss for all who knew this man! (And I see he was originally from Midland, Texas, the hometown of George and Laura Bush.)

Who is Dave? (Thanks for the compliment.)

C-span was in South Dakota today, and I tried frantically to get in to ask about democrat's voter fraud on Indian reservations there. SuzanneC just emailed that Rush gave it a mention opening his show.

Yet MORE of the old klintoon "legacy."

The media campaign to salvage some semblance of a "legacy" for the klintoons continues.

"60 Minutes" just aired an interview with two klintonistas who served on his national security (LOL!) staff who've written a book detailing how they were kept out of the loop by Freeh's FBI DESPITE klintoon's srenuous efforts to get them in. They stated that Freeh held klintoon "in contempt." (Duuhhhh!)

They claim that because the FBI was INVESTIGATING the klintoons, the klintoons had little leverage in the situation and klintoon's efforts to "get" bin Laden were frustrated as a result.

These klintoon flaks also told Dan Blather that although much of the senior military leadership considered klintoon a good president (GUFFAW!), the lower ranks held him in contempt. (Double Duuhhhh!!)

The only legacy for which the klintoons will be remembered has just been cleared up from around lower Manhattan, just east of Shirly Highway in Arlington, VA and a field in PA!

And it WASN'T because klintoon couldn't get more information from the traditional sources: It was because he was

1. Distracted by the several hundred scandals in which he became entangled;
2. His list of lies grew daily and just keeping up with them consumed 16 hours of his workday; and
3. When he wasn't being deposed, fielding calls from lawyers, leaning on FOBs for the $ to PAY the legal bills, keeping up with his Lie List, he was groping female visitors or getting gum bumps and hummers from willing interns in the Oral Office.

And while Bush ain’t perfect, Hitlery is questioning HIS integrity?

Did I forget anything?

I really, really feel bad for any Muslim who is not an Al-Qaeda sympathizer... all six of you.

I don't want to kill all Muslims, because that would lower me to their level.

But it is becoming painfully clear that it is impossible for Muslims to live in peace with their neighbors anywhere in the world. Look at the borders of the Muslim world and you will find bloody, Muslim-caused conflict wherever they meet other cultures and religions.

The vast majority of terrorist outrages in the last thirty years have been perpetrated by Muslims. And all of these outrages are supported by the vast majority of Muslims. Polls confirm what our eyes told us after 9/11, when the Arab street ululated with joy on our television screens.

I think any Muslim spokesman who condemned these outrages does NOT represent the point of view of his followers, but rather is following the Koran-sanctioned strategy of lying to the infidel.

I think it is time for the Muslim world to be quarantined. No immigrants, no tourists, no diplomats allowed to leave Muslim countries. Close the borders and blockade their coasts. Every Muslim non-citizen in Christendom to be sent home to his country of origin, every Muslim embassy closed, every Muslim country expelled from the UN. Mosques razed to the ground in all Christian nations. All Muslims expelled from the Holy Land, and the Dome of the Rock and the Al-Aqsa smeared with pig fat before being dynamited.

Of course, we will need to occupy the oil fields as reparations for 1400 years of savagery against the West.

There is truly a lot to list, but he has left us with so much to do in cleaning up his mess that we simply have not got the time to hold him accountable.

I pray that after we have beaten back the enemy from our gates and restored some of what he has destroyed, that somehow he will be confronted during his lifetime with (at the very least) the public humiliation he deserves.

With "W" having lived in Midland for a while and Mrs. Bush being from there, I wonder if he knows of his "hometown" connection to this CR*P.

[windchime]

Thank you for posting this story. The possible loss of Jake Young and others in this violent attack on freedom loving people of many countries elicits feelings of extreme sadness and anger.

That he was a young man who had worked hard to accomplish a lot made the story even more poignant. My prayers go to his family, friends and associates in this time of distress.

[ApesForEvolution]

Thank you for the bump. He was quite a role model for many. The last 24 hours have been rough. The terrorists world wide and their supporters need to hunted down and made examples of, in the most resounding, petrifying way. There is no other cause of defense to mankind greater, bar none. These pigs would rape our children if they took our nation, and don't think the muslim world will stop, without being stopped first, until they do.

[ApesForEvolution]

This is the 3rd world war. The 'bad actors' and their fans. I pray we all understand that President Bush knows what he's doing and supports him until he gets as much done as he can the next 6 years. This country will not survive in the hands of the out and out communists amongst us.

[ApesForEvolution]

Thank you on behalf of his wife and child, parents and family, and all who knew him personally.
