Memorial Day Indy 500, Baseball Games, NBA Finals etc.

The threat CAN be mitigated, once we build the necessary resolve.

Witness: WWII.

Unfortunately, we are probably due for more suffering before we get to where we need to be...

Locked and loaded.

Maybe they'll hit the UN.

Because the balloon is going up here, almost immediately, just as it is going up in India this weekend.

Yes.

Or Memorial Day Weekend.

They'd need a big crowd in a small space ... Indy 500 springs to mind.

How's that for protection? Feel safe now?

For me, no thanks. I'll protect my family, myself.

The Feds have their job to do, and WE, THE PEOPLE have our job to do.

The Feds are limited to the constraints contained within the Constitution. I am limited only by my stock of ammunition and ingenuity.

"Expect the terrorists to be from "friendly nations" like Saudi Arabia..." You mean like the 15 rag heads that have already stuck this country on 9/11? Saudi was their country of origin. Round em up. Get em out! Send all the moose limbs home.

Well, you know that and I know that. Now, somebody convince the Fedgov of that, and we'll all be a whole lot safer.

She said "we didn't want there to be only one super power".

Really? She said this?

Good point. Time for the Bush administration to get serious and send every muslim, citizen or not back to their homeland. I believe that most muslims secretly want their fanatical bretherns to win.

There are no alternatives. Reasoning with them is impossible in light of the fact that they have been indoctrinated to believe that their life will be so much better in the afterlife.

Profile non-citizen Middle Easterns. Here's a little know fact: that's not illegal, if by profiling you mean giving them extra scrutiny. The police are permitted to scrutinize whoever the H*(*( they want to.

He is, at the very least, a weasel, a pig, a chicken, and an ass...

Why are you insulting weasels, pigs, chickens, and asses?

He (and his "spouse") is (are) a boil, a cancer, a rotting cesspool of immorality.

PS: Weasels are really intelligent and patriotic.

I agree, it's a case of "Something big's gonna happen at some place, sometime - don't say we didn't warn you."

Yes.

Internal security never got seriously addressed and now what little was done is being undone.

Reagan National Airport is almost within a stone's throw of the Pentagon, White House, and Capitol. (Looking at a July 4 scenario, a plane crashing into the July 4 crowd around the Washington Monument would make a big mess; so would an attack on Washington's Metro.) After 9/11, there was talk of closing it altogether, not hard to see why. But now, commercial flights are back up to old levels and they're talking about letting general aviation back into it.

It's like 9/11 never happened.

From http://www.nbaa.org/airports/DCA/ Airports In Focus:

Reagan National Airport (DCA) - Washington, DC

Updated May 14, 2002

NBAA Hopeful That General Aviation Will Soon Fly Into DCA

On May 8, 2002, NBAA, along with other aviation associations representing the general aviation community as well as the leadership of the Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority and Signature Flight Support, met with Department of Transportation and Transportation Security Administration officials to discuss a six-point plan to be completed by the end of May for returning qualified general aviation operations back into Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport.

Ive watched your posts and you dont get it. Since Clintoon the government has become our lasting friend. Its now incapable of lying to us or trampling our rights. You need to get a clue-- and jump on the war wagon like you are told by the media. The media was bad under Hillary and Clintoon, but now its not. Got it?

He was the guest of a Czech Communist apparatchik, and to this day, has never answered questions as to what he was doing there. BTW, he went there before there was any western tourism. After all, Czecheslovakia was invaded by USSR troops in 1968. Prague was no longer such an open city. Judge who he is by the egregious and treasonable actions he engaged in while his regime was in the White House....And yes, his wife("Queen of the Damned") is probably worse than he is.

I say, give 'em the Holy War they seek!

Right! Because that's exactly what this is, and there can be only one victor.

I agree completely. And I am not suggesting this just to volunteer someone else's child. I, too, am, ready.

These fanatics (the radical muslims) have been "built up" in the liberal media time and again. Yet every time that they are engaged on the battlefield, they collapse like a deflating colostomy bag.

We need to stop cowering and administer a good, old fashioned, USA ass kicking on this bunch of whack jobs.

Oh, and I realize the "unconventional" aspect of it (e.g. "asymetric warfare") But it will be equally unconventional when these f*ckers engage 200M+ armed Americans on US soil.

Let the very capable US Military handle the overseas job, and let the citizenry of the USA take care of the home front. These muslim pukes will be soiling their rags soon enough.

Liked your response. It's sickening, but as we've seen, a lot of people, given a choice of freedom or safety will choose your nightmarish scenario.
