Wife of Air Force officer among the dead in Brussels terror attack

POLITICS | MAR 31, 2016 | BY MARTIN BARILLAS

Identified among those killed by Muslim terrorists in Brussels was the wife of U.S. Air Force Lt. Col. Kato Martinez.

Defense Department officials identified Gail Minglana Martinez, 41, of Corpus Christi TX as among the four Americans murdered in a suicide bomb attack at the international airport outside the Belgian capital.

Lt. Col. Martinez had been stationed in Brunssum in the Netherlands. The couple had been married 21 years. The Air Force officer, and the couple's four children, were among the hundreds of wounded. So far, 35 persons have reportedly died as a result of the attacks on March 22 at the airport and Brussels' metro system.

This should be designated as an act of war. NO MERCY to the perpetrators, or their relatives. This is one of the few things the Rooskis do right.

This should be designated as an act of war.

Same goes for 9/11. Bush should have gone before Congress and asked for a Declaration of War, just as FDR did right after Pearl Harbor.

And no, Congressional resolutions and authorizations are not the same. They don't carry the same force, and they don't send the same message.

Wonder if Obama will categorize it as work place violence?

A Sane person at a last. Back your candidate in the primaries, when it comes to the general beating Hillary is all that matters.
