I just transcribed part of an interview by John Gibson that took place at about 3:30 p.m. Saturday September 15, 2001.
Sorry if this information has already been posted here.
Guest Ron Williams, retired Secret Service agent.
John Gibson: ...Does it make more sense in attacking terrorism to fight a dirty war? to hire spies, to hire assassins, to hire people to go in to put a bullet in Osama Bin Laden's head or for that matter, in Saddam Hussein's head or does it make more sense to call out the troops, put them in uniform, ship them overseas and grind out a war?
Ron Williams: Let me address that, first of all, I thought former Prime Minister Netanyahu of Israel articulated who the enemy is on a worldwide basis and that is the militant Islamic radicals. From a worldwide standpoint, he took the focus off of just one man and that is Osama Bin Laden. There's a much deeper problem here, we have a cancer at the very core of Islam and Islam, the moderates or the people who believe in a holy god and believe in peace, have got to eradicate this strain of cancer out of their system, and it starts in our own country.
John Gibson: Are you saying the responsibility for getting these radicals who would wage war on the world, is essentially Muslims themselves or ours?
Ron Williams: I think that it has to start with the Muslims themselves and then we also have to be a part of that eradication but in our own country, we have allowed this radical moslem fundamentalism.--
John Gibson: Well evidently I mean they were down in Florida driving red sportscars and drinking at bars and attending flight school, and I would venture to guess that in today's atmosphere that sort of thing is going to stop, even even in a country that observes civil rights for all kinds of people, that's going to stop, my question I guess to you now is how is that going to stop? how would we stop this going on in places like Florida, Minnesota and other places where these people train?
Ron Williams, Well I think that one thing that we have to identify is what is the enemy within our own country, within the United States. We have allowed some of the militant Islamic radicals to operate within our own country and I'll give you an example, I was particularly incensed yesterday when Dr. Siddiqi was at the National Cathedral at president's prayer when on October 28, 2000, he was outside the White House with 5,000 demonstrators sponsored by Hizbollah and Hamas, shouting "Kaibar Kaibar, oh Jew: Mohammed's army's coming after you, Death to the Jew, Death to America." He spoke at that rally and we have allowed this type of thing to permeate and--
John Gibson: Bur Ron you know, I mean you're not going to get United States Supreme Court to say that we can go out and arrest people for saying offensive things what we can arrest them for is saying things that amount to a conspiracy to blow things up and hurt people.
Ron Williams: That's exactly right, but I think also that also in the last several years the CIA has been restricted---
(Yeah, John, but if a Catholic leader or a Protestant leader or a Jewish leader spoke at a rally where they said, "Death to the atheist, satanist, Catholic, Protestant, Jew, Moslem, etc." they would be shunned, disgraced, and not allowed to speak at a national event, much less a prayer service.)
GOD save our nation...
We know that moslems can declare a "Fatwa". Bin Laden and Arafat have promulgated and used terror, and killed innocent men, women, and children. If in fact their religion rejects such acts, when will a fatwa be declared against these vermin? Surely, their actions besmirch Islam to a far greater extent than did the novelist Salman Rushdie - who was rewarded with a death sentence in a fatwa.
Unless, of course, Islam doesn't really object to murderous terrorists....
There are only two sides in any war.
I prefer we should to talk less, and bite more.
Any muslim in our country that utters a word against our war against the terrrorists that have brought this to our nation, should be deported or interned in a place that is easily watched , until such time as the war is over and things return to an acceptable level of saftey.
Calypso louie will have returned from the mother ship then.
If a cleric called abortionist a murderer,or a homosexual a sodomite he would be too hot to put up there too..it is all about political correctness..except of course if you happen to be a Christian or Jew!
Apparently they are helpless to retrieve it .
