Thank you a_d.

This is what we need.

Yes I need to vent here with my friends...but more important is information to arm ourselves intellectually

We here in our home have armed ourselves for the bleakness of islamic intentions toward us.

Jeff Head wrote yesterday in an un-related thread "Faith is an action word".

He is absolutely correct.

We have faith in our Lord Jesus.

Faith in our ability to defend ourselves against the evil of islam.

People are getting tired of these threats made in the name of a blood-lusting 'religion'.

People are getting tired of the crap pouring through our borders.

There are some who may have 'blown off' 9/11 and 'forgotten'.

But I have a feeling, that if ANOTHER 9/11 type attack occurs, within our shores, there will be rivers of blood flowing. And I sincerely doubt that the panderers in DC will find enough people who will 'cover' their sorry asses!

"Bin Laden devoted most attention to warning Americans that, to prevent another 9/11-type attack, they had to elect leaders who would change U.S. policies toward the Islamic world. He focused especially on the U.S. presence in the Arabian Peninsula, Iraq, and Afghanistan, unqualified support for Israel, as well as support for Muslim tyrannies in Egypt, Saudi Arabia, and elsewhere."

Well, Bush may be following Bin Laden's advice, in that the tune from Muslim tyrannies in Syria, Lebanon, and Egypt has changed since the Iraq election. But, there's always that translation problem, as I have always understood Islam itself to be a Muslim tyranny.

Thanks SheLion, I have the book and many others on this putrid subject.

But I must say it took a feisty gal from Maine to enlighten me about my own congresscritter.

When I called his office I told the woman 'everyone is onto Keller..I got the info about him from Maine'.

These people cannot hide anymore.

Thanks for the heads up on him!

Well I hope the president has warned Bin Laden if he hopes to be able to go to Mecca, he may want to think twice about killing millions of americans or maybe he doesnt care about killing millions of muslims .
It is an interesting question as to what the president would do if a nuclear blast wiped out a number of our major cities ,who would we retaliate against if anyone at all?

"But I have a feeling, that if ANOTHER 9/11 type attack occurs, within our shores, there will be rivers of blood flowing."

I have given that a lot of thought.

I don't think the opinion of our governmental agencies, and, therefore, law enforcement designated to carry out their wishes, would change.
I'd like to think that reprisals would be made and severe restrictions placed on the entire Muslim population, but I don't think it would happen.
I think any action taken by individual groups across the country would be viewed as vigilante movements, and the participants would be locked up or killed.

A good model is the opinion of governmental agencies toward the Minutemen Project on the Arizona border.

I'm not saying that would stop me; I'm just trying to face reality.

She's probably never eaten any redneck wedding cake:

"Porter Goss never said nuclear material could be in al-Qaeda's hands. Goss said he could not assure the American people that the missing nuclear material had not found its way into terrorists' hands."

A minor difference that doesn't matter in the big scheme of things. If he could not assure us the material had not found its way into terrorist hands, this means Al Qaeda may have them.

I believe if bin Laden had the assets to strike, he would have already used them

Think about the authors points again. Al-Qaeda needs to have the Muslim world on it's side for it to survive right? If Bin Laden was truly criticized after 9/11 for not following Holy Law (Something OBL says he is following for justification to attack us) then he may submit to those criticisms visibly to keep the Muslims on his side and keep Al-Qaeda recruitment up. I think the whole thing is plausible if in fact he was criticized for not doing those 3 things prior to 9/11. That is the only part of the article that doesnt have footnotes as to where, when and whom critisized Bin Laden.
