US Promises to Punish Those Responsible for Gruesome Iraq Attacks
The top U.S. official in Iraq says Wednesday's gruesome attacks on four American civilians whose burned bodies were put on display in the town of Fallujah will not go unpunished.
"It's going to be deliberate, it will be precise and it will be overwhelming," U.S. General Mark Kimmitt said, speaking to reporters in Baghdad. He warned insurgents in the town of Fallujah to be prepared for U.S. forces to strike back following Wednesday's killing of four American contractors by a frenzied mob that dragged their charred bodies through the streets.
Televised footage of the act has provoked outrage from Americans in the United States and led U.S. administrator in Baghdad Paul Bremer to issue a warning.
"Their deaths will not go unpunished," he promised.
The White House blamed the attacks on supporters of Saddam Hussein. The remains of the four were to be turned over to the U.S. military.
A day after the attack, three American soldiers were injured in another attack near Fallujah, this time when their Humvee struck a roadside bomb.

Wackenhut may be the same company that hired so many illegals to guard the airports, some were real dangerous and not citizens.
When the airports screeners were private, there were a lot of stories about them, if I am naming the right company.

Pillars of the community. Where they pray on loud speakers 5 times a day!!!!This makes me so mad. I called our Christan radio station yesterday about this. And he read me and e-mail from the city council saying they were an asset to the community with morale and family values! May comment back was, "This is nothing more than the wolves in sheep's clothing."

The door is now open, soon we will be called to muslim prayers over the loudspeakers of every mosque in America.
While our Churches are destroyed.
This is a fine example of the "Take-over of America".

Hah! Cracking up here. Good one, Granny.
To: nw_arizona_granny
I know and anyone that strikes out against this is going to jail for a hate crime. It will be a long time in the south before this will happen and especially where I live. The "good ole boys" wont stand for this...Looks like the government would see that this is just inciting the general public..
WHERE IS THE ACLU?
WHERE ARE THE WOMENS RIGHTS GROUPS?
WHERE ARE THE CHRISTANS?

The military has rules...civivlians don't. One more jihadesque operation on our soil a la 9-11 and, as a poster said earlier, people will start shootin' on sight. The do not know the thin ice on which they tread.

We joke about the muslims taking over our churches, but is it that far a stretch from reality? That IS,in fact, utimately their goal. We'll be forced to say our prayers in secret in our homes and pray that no one reports us if the ACLU and the liberals have their way. We are in serous danger of losing our religious freedom. We all know what path the Ten Commandments, In God we Trust, and the Pledge of Allegiance have taken recently. {Where it stops - no one knows}.

Suspected terrorist planned to bomb Australia's electricity grid
SYDNEY: A Pakistani-born architect charged with planning a terrorist attack in Australia planned to disrupt the national electricity grid with a home-made bomb, it was reported Friday.
The Australian newspaper said Faheem Khalid Lodhi, 34, planned to use a bomb made of ammonium nitrate fertilizer to attack the electricity grid and was in the process of ordering the chemicals required under bogus company names.

Lodhi was charged with terrorist offences Thursday after being arrested in a raid by federal agents following a six-month investigation and faces a life sentece if convicted.
The Australian said Lodhi used a fake name to order maps of the grid from the Electricity Suppliers Association, the newspaper said. Police also allege he dumped maps of military installations in a garbage bin near his Sydney house.
The Sydney Morning Herald reported that Lodhi hoped to attack the electricty grid in Sydney, causing a blackout that would spark chaos.
Lohdi is the second suspected member of the same terrorist cell arrested in a week after 21-year-old Pakistani-born medical student Izhar ul-Haque was charged Thursday.
Both Loghi and Haque were arrested as a result of investigations into terrorist suspect Willie Brigitte, a French national who was deported from Australia late last year and is being held by authorities in France who believe he was setting up a terrorist cell in Sydney.
A leaked French intelligence dossier has accused Brigitte of planning an attack "of great size" in Australia.
Both Brigitte and Haque allegedly have links to Pakistani militant group Lashkar-e-Taiba, which the Australian government officially declared a terrorist organisation last November.
The French dossier named Lodhi, also known as Abu Hamza, as Lashkar's chief operative in Australia and alleged he underwent training in Pakistan with Brigitte and acted as the Frenchman's main Sydney contact.
The Australian reported that telephone records showed Lodhi had been in frequent contact with a Pakistani-based Lashkar trainer called Sajid, who Brigitte told French authorities was the man who organised and paid for his trip to Australia.
New South Wales state Premier Bob Carr said security around the state's power infrastructure had been upgraded ahead of the 2000 Olympics and further tightened following the September 11 2001 attacks on the United States and the October 2002 Bali bombings.
Attorney-General Philip Ruddock said further arrests could follow. He said the investigation showed Australia's intelligence services were working together efficiently.
US thinktank the Rand Corporation this week issued a report alleging Australia's domestic spy service ASIO was so jealous of the Australian Federal Police that it withheld vital security information.

The day Americans start being rounded up for defending themselves, and charged with hate crimes, while the jihadis are "protected..." ...well...the government better make sure that scenario never ever happens.

That would be more correctly terrorist take-out, but we'll have to leave it to our law enforcement personnel unless we are under imminent threat of death from them.

The elite and powerful, will still be elite and powerful, no matter what anarchy is happening in the street. IN fact the more anarchy, the more power can be excercised. The IRS and the "Federal" Reserve [a private organization] will still be getting theirs, no matter who it's from. Like I said earlier, government's job is not to protect us, but to be sure the government is protected above all else.

If that is the trend of our government, God help us. Right now our judges rule we're biased and bigotted and the internet and sleeper cell terrorists are the "minority" just trying to practice their religion of hatred. There doesn't seem to be enough evidence in the world to convict them unless they are actually videotaped destroying the country. I wonder if Spain will have the same "tolerance" toward those who killed so many people on their trains. My personal guess is that they will act with the power and dignity instilled upon them to convict the perpetrators (not like our woosie judges cowtowing to be politically correct or fit their own personal agenda).

FYI
British MPs Warned of Al-Qaeda Terror Threat
Politics: 23 April 2004, Friday.
A warning from the British intelligence services that al-Qaeda could mount a chemical or biological attack on the chamber of the House of Commons was delivered to MPs yesterday.
English media also reported that the MPs backed a permanent GBP 1.3 M security screen for the Commons after the warning.
A temporary screen of bombproof glass, capable of withstanding a chemical attack, was installed in front of the Commons public gallery over Easter after the warnings were first received.

Yes, I must admit I was a bit stunned by the city council's decision. Utterly unbelievable. Do you, by chance, live in that area? I wish someone from that area would post here to let us know how the rest of the community feels and if there is any plan to recall the council members...or something.

I had to take a break from the thread for a while because it became obvious to me that there are a lot of political undercurrents out there that are just disgusting and foreign to my way of thinking and my way of life.
I go to a church that was built in the 1600's, and still has Colonial era "stiff" pews and tales of the "Washington crouch".
There are others in the area just as old and distinguished, including one where Patrick Henry gave his "Liberty or Death" speech. You can walk into these buildings and literally feel the founding fathers presence alive in the building.
I cannot, as a human being, give up the notion that the natural condition of a human being is one of Freedom, liberty, and the ability to worship God, who is the source of all freedom and liberty.
I will never live as a slave. Ever. Much worse, I will do whatever it takes for others to live free. Thats my heritage, and that will be my legacy.
PS: all of you guys are the best.
