From: America's Heartland Re: September 11, 2001 Let us be direct and plain. It is clear that we have sent you the wrong message over the last few years, in fact stretching back into the 1970's when your ilk began to terrorize innocent American citizens. We know, as a result of the misguided policies of a few of our political leaders, that you have gotten accustomed to slaps on the wrist, sanctions and embargoes for your atrocities.

This apparently led you to think that you could conduct a massive attack on America with impunity wherein you committed the following acts:

You have grossly miscalculated, along the lines of the Japanese in World War II when Admiral Yamamoto proclaimed after his dastardly attack, "I fear we have awakened a sleeping giant, and filled him with a terrible resolve." Admiral Yamamoto's statement was wise in his foresight of what his just completed attack would result in. He was right.

We killed him ... and then decimated his navies, defeated the Japanese armies, and then fire and nuclear bombed their cities.

You are foolish in your lack of foresight and historical knowledge, but you shall experience the terrible consequences anyway.

Every day Americans, who make up the vast majority of the population, wealth, strength and vitality of America are normally fairly uninvolved and speak fairly softly. It is an American tradition which was epitomized by the words of a former President, President Teddy Roosevelt, when he advised us to in fact "speak softly" as a people.

However, recognizing that as with everyday life, on the international scene there are often bullies, tyrants and criminals who would take advantage of such soft speech, Roosevelt added something more to his "speak softly" advise ... he told us to also carry a "Big Stick" ... and we have, with few exceptions, ever since. This not only has applied to the national level with our military, but it has always applied with us as individuals citizens as well. Why else would there be 250 million firearms amongst the everyday, common citizens of this land?

So, just so there can be no misunderstanding, on this occasion when you have come amongst us as a reproach, with no honor, and savagely killed thousands of innocent American men, women and children, let us indelibly imprint on your heart, mind and soul the images of the "Big Stick" that you are about to become more than familiar with.

NAVAL STICKS

MARINE STICKS

AIR FORCE STICKS

ARMY STICKS

COAST GUARD STICKS

You will not have long to revel in your abominations.

We will bury our dead, mend up our wounded, soothe and comfort the broken hearted, beseech our God ... and then we will come amongst you as a Lion amongst sheep. As our current President has now said, "Today we pray, tomorrow we fight."

Remember this; Teddy Roosevelt sent the US Marines to foreign shores over JUST ONE INNOCENT AMERICAN HELD AGAINST THEIR WILL. You have awakened this sleeping, soft speaking giant at your mortal peril. As you are about to find, although it may take us a moment to grab a firm hold of them, we have not lost track of our big sticks and we are VERY proficient in their use. AND we can and will make more of them ... many more ... and they will be brought down upon your head.

We will soon use them to see you on your way ... not to paradise and Allah ... but to the hell you so richly deserve!

Sincerely,

Jeff Head Idaho, USA

Here we go again, way too many vanities.

There have been way too many vanities. We have asked numerous times to please limit your vanities to either the General Interest (Chat) forum or to post your one line vanities on an already existing thread. Guess what, didn't work. So, we will be deleting one line vanity threads, unless it is truly news as reported by a major media outlet. We will be deleting threads misposted to news that clearly belong in the General Interest (Chat) forum. Remember, this is a conservative news forum.

So, get ready, your vanity posts will be removed if you can not follow these simple guidelines.


Here's how to post an article in a forum other than the main news forum:


On the threads page (in any forum), on the right hand side, above the sidebars you will see a group of links that look something like this:

Campaign Central
General Interest (Chat)
News/Activism
Religion
RLC Liberty Caucus
The Smokey Backroom
VetsCoR


Select the appropriate forum prior to posting your article. In that forum, you can post your article the same way as the main news forum.


Again, any misposted articles will be pulled. If you like to see all the threads posted to Free Republic, John has made a Browse All option. All threads posted will be listed here and you will not miss out on any thread posted to Free Republic. And PLEASE use the actual titles that were given by the original author from that media source. It makes searching much more easier and prevents duplicates.


And as always, solicitations and fundraising from outside FR will not be allowed. Have a Merry Christmas.

It did me good to read this again, especially today with the great news of Hussein's capture like a rat in a hole. Jeff's words have certainly rung true. Jeff is great. Can't wait to get his books.

No More Gore Anymore resurrected an old post of mine from right after 911. I think it's appropriate for today after the capture of Hussein, particularly since I addressed it to him too at that time.

With Courage And Restraint, U.S. Troops Take Saddam Alive [Full text] W anted dead or alive, a breathing Saddam Hussein is much more valuable to the cause of Iraqi peace.

When his troops were being overwhelmed by the U.S.-led coalition, a defiant Saddam Hussein urged them to fight to the death. From hiding, he sent out crazed calls for more killings. Saturday, eight months after losing power, when U.S. troops finally closed in on him, he crawled out of his hole without a fight.

The bearish dictator was armed with a pistol and might easily have decided to go out in a blaze of gunfire, as his sons did when surrounded earlier this year.

The soldiers who uncovered his hide- out couldn't know what to expect, and it is a credit to their courage and training that they didn't shoot first. They deserve awards for bravery.

But what should be done with one of this generation's most notorious villains? Some say he deserves hundreds of death penalties. Others say he should be offered life in prison in exchange for confessing his crimes, turning in his confederates and calling for reconciliation between his loyalists and opponents.

All that is certain at this point is that his personality cult is over. As President Bush said Sunday, ``For Baathist holdouts largely responsible for the current violence, there will be no return to the corrupt power and privilege they once held.''

That is true, but a violent minority has the power to keep Iraq unstable for some time. If these terrorists continue to resort to tactics such as assassinating local leaders and police, dangerous operations such as digging snakes out of their holes must continue.

``The war on terror is a different kind of war, waged capture by capture, cell by cell, and victory by victory,'' Bush told the nation. ``Our security is assured by our perseverance and by our sure belief in the success of liberty.''

Where Saddam was caught, he lacked even a radio, so it's doubtful he was directing the insurrection. He was in a dank, dark hole, a sort of one-man torture chamber of his own design.

It would have been satisfying to simply seal him up there and forget about him. It will be far more satisfying to see him face the Iraqi people and account for all the horror and heartbreak he has caused them. Only good can come from that.

Are you following this story, Osama bin Laden? [End]
