They all came from VERY NEAR the canada border?

There has to be a reason that Washington/Oregon are ISLAMIC EXTREMIST centers of Terrorists.

I don't think the 270 sniper is in any way related to the other two. The 270 sniper strikes me as one or more kids out wreaking havoc with Dad's deer rifle.

Let's remember a few facts which may be of use. Of all immigrants from Islamic nations, some 80% are not Islamic. They are Christians, Jews, etc.

This means that probably only 20% are potential problems. Now we have a far more managable set to watch. Since any mosque which was built in the last 10, years, and arguably in the last 20 years, may have been built with Saudi funds, such funding data is a legitimate inquiry for the government.

Mosques having accepted such funding should be levelled. Promptly. "If you support a terrorist, you are a terrorist." A valid concept, but it must be applied.

Check all prisoners who were meeting with Muslim chaplins while in prison. Any who made pro-terrorist statements should be dealt with. The First Amendment doesn't protect treason.

As for the professional whiners, tell 'em to get a job so they cn buy their own cheese to accompany their Liberal whine.

The quintessential question is, Do we mean to win the War Against Terrorism or not?

I'd be curious as to the response of the FR community to these hypotheses.

Let me point out that I was the guy who suggested long before they were apprehended that the D.C. snipers were motivated by an allegiance to the ideals of radical Islam. It turned out to be accurate.

Gee Joe, you're sooo smart! That possiblity never crossed our minds, what with us forgetting about 9/11 and all...

Chief Deputy Steve Martin, of the Franklin County sheriff's office, said the word implies "a military person" who dresses in camouflage, lies in wait and shoots from long range. "I'm not ready to say that yet," Martin said, noting that the shooter "may be mobile."

Sounds like a typical cop's limited viewpoint. I wonder if this guy is even aware that TC 23-14 exists, much less if he's ever read or learned anything from it.

Sniper: a specialist whose prime function is to kill selected high-value targets at long range using superior skill and armament.
