Per foxnews
That's not an EMP weapon, it's an RFI generator.
Basically, the principle is that you generate a strong enough radio signal to induce current in nearby wires. If those wires happen to be attached to an electrically triggered detonator, you get a "prematurely detonated" Palestinian.
The same sort of thing happens whenever an F-16 flew too close to a radio tower in Europe - the induced currents and RFI interference shuts down the computerized fly-by-wire system and causes the servos to get weird inputs.
Real EMP weapons *start* at about the size of a Uhaul truck and are *very* obvious.
The mods deleted that one(dang!)...but there is an old "tube" (subway) on Warren St. and Broadway in NY, that failed due to a stock market crash and was abandoned for years. It is a historic site now.
If there had been Islamic jihadis killing people here and there when Jefferson wrote those words, he would not have given all Muslims a blanket welcome.
What I wonder is why you keep supporting Islam, as though the terrorists just "happened" to be Muslim, instead of the fact that Islam is the actual driving force of their hatred and anger.
Naturally, not all Muslims are filled with the same insane anger and hatred. But enough are, and it is being taught widely, to connect Muslims + insane anger + hatred = terrorism.
Yes, everyone in any leadership position is incompetent. If only the most vocal spamming Freepers were in charge, everything would become Utopia.
Relax, Blair is speaking now. Perhaps reigning in a bit of cynicism for awhile might be a good idea? The points and criticisms have been made multiple times over.
Most likely reason Blair not speaking (now):
The Brits fear this incident is not complete.
It's found in the Preamble, which is the Constitution's reason for being.
We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.The first principle of nationhood (which is derived from the natural law; the good of the many is more perfect than the good of one) is the promotion of the common good, which is synonymous with "the general Welfare." The other principles highlighted are concommitant with the promotion of the Common Good, and are also principles of the natural law.
The first amendment forbids the establishment of a national church, but was not meant to foster a "separation of church and state," since many states had established Christian churches at the time of the writing of the Constitution.
I thought that's what Gitmo was supposed to be about.
Aussie PM now speaking.
They respond to those kind of gestures nothing else
Blair & Howard
John Howard is speaking but saying nothing just as Blair did - looks like they have their big girl pants on today
Yep.
Personally, I prefer an update to Cato's dictum:
"Ceterum censeo Islamnem Carthaginem esse delendam" - "And therefore, I conclude that Islam Carthage must be destroyed".

yup , its way past time for all these stern words and half measures , Pershing is the model
Howard: "Terrorism is the enemy of all free people"
Hmmmm...the last attack was when Blair was hosting foreign leaders...a warning to Australia maybe?
There were also synagogue in the colonies as well.
I am certain that Blair didn't say more because THEY DON'T KNOW what's involved in this incident yet.
