Factoring PC into the warfare equation

Of the 19 suicide hijackers, 15 came here on "Multiple Use" Saudi visas, good for up to two years of stay. Are there many Saudis still here? Some 60,000 total Saudi visas are granted each year, too many for anyone to check their backgrounds.

They were and they are in the U.S LEGALLY and we know terrorism is a Muslim problem since most of the terrorist incidents occur within the Muslim world. There is hardly a Muslim country that is not plagued by terrorism such as Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Indonesia, Algeria, Bangladesh, Lebanon, Iran just to mention a few. Terror and counter-terror has become the norm in an endless cycle of violence and brutality. IMO, NO visas should be given to people from Arab countries.

.it has become apparent to me that large numbers of Americans would rather to continue to suffer mass casualties from more terrorist attacks than to risk appearing to be "insenstive to diversity"

What is it about "diversity" that is so compelling?
Or, alternatively, what are they afraid of? A Civil War? A Race War? What?

[Mark17]

I am still asking the question "How many Americans must die before we take seriously the war being waged against us?"

Unfortunately, 6,000 is not nearly enough. I fear it will take the deaths of millions of Americans in a chemical or nuclear attack, and the leaders still may not have the stomach to do away with PC. Your thoughts?

My thoughts are that if a million Americans are killed in this war the leaders of this nation will be unable to contain the wrath of the American People towards those who condone terrorists in their midst. As it now sits many have already understood that this war being waged against the USA is being waged by at least a large portion of Islam. As events develop ever more of those who practice Islam will support the terrorists and follow the Black Flag from Kurushan.

Now when will the administration endorse that view I can not comment but it shall come. At present we have the freedom of speech to point out that this is the course of events. The Administration is contrained by the need to not widen the war beyond its current goals at this time. These constraints are imposed by the circumstances of having responsibility for troops in harms way.

However, all these contraints will vaporize with the first American city that is hit with a nuclear weapon.

Well, of course, I hope an American city is never hit with a nuc, but, if it does, I hope you are right. Why, however, will it take a nuc, to get the Govt to do what they are supposed to do? Political correctness is the reason. I am sure the wrath of the American people will be a firestorm, but PC is so deeply entrenched in our society, I wonder if we can ever dislodge it.

"Diversity" is not a strength. It is a weakness. It divides from within. It is a sickness. And it is the death of this once great nation.......

[harpseal]

Let me be clear about this. As time passes Polical correctness will die. It is so obviously anti-American it will become increasingly clear that it and the United States of America are incompatible. It is my sincere hope that there will be no further terrorists events in the USA but it is my belief that our chances of avoiding such events are almost non-existent. The reason for those low chances of avoiding future disasters worse even than September 11, 2001 are becuase of the infestation of Political Correctness in so many of our institutions.

We shall see events unfold over the next hours days weeks months and unfortunately as per richard Cheeney we may well take some lumps here.

As to the limitations on the Administration those limitations will be gradually removed by events even if we avoid some of the more horrible scenarios that could happen in the coming war. These limitations will evaporate with time or be vaporized suddenly. It is the later I dread. I do not wish to see an additional American dead as a result of these terrorists actions but I do not think my wishes will be granted.

Stay well - Stay safe - Stay armed - Yorktown
