An al Qaeda suspect in custody in Belgium told American investigators he saw members of the terror organization training snipers in preparation for attacks on U.S. soil, a source told The Post last night.

One of the planned attacks targeted U.S. senators on a golf course.

"...as may have been the case with Hesham Mohamed Hadayet, who gunned down two people July 4 at the El Al counter of Los Angeles International Airport."

That one was NEVER called terrorism, though it was OBVIOUS the guy was inspired by his devout muslim INSPIRED desire to kill Jews.

It was later shown that he should have been denied entry to the US, by the incompetent INS. He openly admitted membership in the SAME organizations in Egypt that killed Sadat. Those being forerunners to al Qaida--the Muslim Brotherhood.

His wife got citizenship through the Lottery, and he got to stay as her husband.

If it turns out our government cannot or will not protect Americans from Islam, it will need to be done some other way.

"Palestinian snipper[sic] looking for a target"

Waiting for school to let out, no doubt.

More on the AQ training.

I think it's funny how some people here constantly bash World Net Daily; but now that ABC news finally gets around to reporting the tapes, they will accept it as true. Looks like all the CNN spillovers at Fox may finally have to report the tapes also...

In case anyone missed it, here is the description of these tapes

One of the most troubling aspects of this whole refusal or reluctance to admit the terrorist angle to this is that it seems to indicate an absolute reluctance to confront what will have to happen if we are not to simply capitulate to the Muslims, namely, we must immediately deport those who came illegally, as well as those who have known ties to Islamic terrorist organizations.

If the government of the people will not protect the people, the people should and will, protect themselves.

We are at war and the enemy lives in our midst, aided by those who refuse to accept the imminent danger surrounding them.

Announcing...

The Democratic Invitational

Join Tom Daschle, Hillary Clinton, Ted Kennedy, Joe Biden, and Barbara Boxer for a fun-filled afternoon on the links! Yes, it's time for the Democratic Invitational, the golf tournament to end all golf tournaments. This multi-course extravaganza will feature 9 holes on each of six courses, until, well, until it ends.

Note to LEOs: Just kidding

We all know that an Al Qaeda terrorist wouldn't lie, and the folks at WorldNetDaily certainly aren't paranoid...

It's a serial killer folks. Sure, it's serial killer who has come up with a new twist, but it's still probably a home grown young adult(s) who watches too many movies and has tired of video games.

"most terrorists would not have killed a 13-year-old boy and targeted him" - Connie Chung.

Until we get serious and crack down on the white conservative right-wing extremist movement we aren't going to find this crazy right-(white)-wing extremist gun-nut sniper. If it weren't for republicans (white right wing extremist party of white right wing conservatives) and criminal madmen in the NRA we could have passed responsible gun laws years ago and these attacks never would have happened. Now that they are happening the NRA and the republicans are blocking legislation which would help us catch criminals like this white right wing conservative extremist gun nut sniper.

A sniper would not be standing around exposed like that. His head could take a slug from his Israeli counter-part.

Eventually, it was by the FBI.

It looks like one of the tricked-out M16s the Israeli army issues some of its marksmen in urban areas.

How many 13-year-olds have been killed in the last year by Palestinian terrorists?

That quote is stupid, stupid, stupid. Are you being sarcastic, or are you just a stupid idiot?

Can you imagine the disruption and fear brought to our country if these evil people launched multi- city terror? There would literally be only one answer, an answer which should be strongly considered: A nationally deputized armed citizenry. Millions of capable and patriotic Americans, armed and ready to protect every intersection in and around our cities. Scary times call for basic defense.It's all about the 2nd Ammendment. Think about it.

Connie probably knows more terrorists than I do but from what I have seen of their actions, terrorists kill children.

Until we get serious and crack down on the white conservative right-wing extremist movement we aren't going to find this crazy right-(white)-wing extremist gun-nut sniper. If it weren't for republicans (white right wing extremist party of white right wing conservatives) and criminal madmen in the NRA we could have passed responsible gun laws years ago and these attacks never would have happened.

I don't trust people like you because your argument makes no sense. In fact, your argument is nonsense.

If things keep going the way they are, there may come a day in the future when it is the armed populace that saves the day. I pray it never comes to that, but one thing is sure, you aren't going to be of much use.
