Calif. Guard Targeted Over Pig-Blood Flier

SACRAMENTO, Calif. - Islamic leaders and peace groups are criticizing the California National Guard for a flier posted in its headquarters suggesting the United States execute Islamic terrorists with bullets dipped in pig's blood to deny them entry to heaven.
The flier attributed the practice to World War I General John J. Pershing.
"Maybe it is time for this segment of history to repeat itself, maybe in Iraq?" the flier stated. It was posted outside a cubicle in the Guard's Civil Support Division.
A second flier showed the wings and tail of a bomber forming a peace sign with the slogan, "Peace the old fashioned way."
Also posted was a cartoon from a Web site showing a Red Crescent ambulance stuffed with weapons and a caricature that looks like the late-Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat unloading the weapons.
Guard spokesman Lt. Col. Doug Hart at first defended the postings to the San Jose Mercury News, which reported them Tuesday, but Hart later said they had been removed.
Peace activists spotted the fliers during a tour last week.
The tour came after peace groups and a state senator questioned whether a new Guard unit had been formed to spy on U.S. citizens and had monitored a Mother's Day anti-war rally. A federal investigation of the allegations is underway.
"It's troubling to see a governmental organization dedicated to the security of our country promoting culturally and religiously insensitive ideas," said William Youmans, spokesman for the Council on American-Islamic Relations in Santa Clara. "It's very possible to combat terrorism without offending the cultural values of a major world religion."

I suggested that pig blood on bullets thing a long time ago. Have you ever heard how Black Jack Pershing won against the Muslims he was fighting?

What concerns me more, is that apparently these Code Pink and Raging Grannies freaks got permission for a demonstration, then compiled info on what they saw at the base to provide fodder for a complaint of "anti-Islamist sentiments". It's obvious that their real intentions are covert attacks and quite different from their pretended grief.

Yeah, well, quantitative is the hard part. Anyway, what is the most frequently encountered problem you have had doing diagnostic PCR?

You are exactly right. The aim here is to undermine and discredit our military. And to the left/the terrorist sympathizers/liberals et al, it matters not what method they use.
I support the use of swine tissues, fluids, and waste if it will save the life of a single soldier. This is war folks and until we, as a nation, develop the appropriate and realistic attitude we might just flounder again like we did in Vietnam. Don't get me wrong, loss in Vietnam had little to do with failure of the military. The press placed much of the blame on the military to divert attention from politicians, and the press itself in undermining the efforts.

I still have strong beliefs that the liberal coddling of Islam will eventually get lots of Americans killed.
Your life means nothing to many politicians and more specifically a left wing Democratic one.
Remember, Hellary's comments that in essence your wants and needs of life are disposable for the common good.
Pacification by the Neville Chamberlains of the world never work. This is an excerpt from one of his speeches as he negotiated with Adolph Hitler. 1939: Britain and France pursued a policy of appeasement in the hope that Hitler would not drag Europe into another world war. Appeasement expressed the widespread British desire to heal the wounds of World War I and to correct what many British officials regarded as the injustices of the Versailles Treaty. Some officials regarded a powerful Germany as a bulwark against the Soviet Union. On September 27, 1938, when negotiations between Hitler and Chamberlain were strained, the British Prime Minister addressed the British people. Excerpts of this speech and another before the House of Commons are included here. * * * * * How horrible, fantastic, incredible it is that we should be digging trenches and trying on gas masks here because of a quarrel in a far-away country between people of whom we know nothing. It seems still more impossible that a quarrel which has already been settled in principle should be the subject of war. However much we may sympathize with a small nation confronted by a big and powerful neighbor, we cannot in all circumstances undertake to involve the whole British Empire in war simply on her account. If we have to fight it must be on larger issues than that. I am myself a man of peace to the depths of my soul. Armed conflict between nations is a nightmare to me; but if I were convinced that any nation had made up its mind to dominate the world by fear of its force, I should feel that it must be resisted. Under such a domination life for people who believe in liberty would not be worth living; but war is a fearful thing, and we must be very clear, before we embark upon it, that it is really the great issues that are at stake, and that the call to risk everything in their defense, when all the consequences are weighed, is irresistible. REPLY: I believe we are doomed to repeat the mistakes of history. We have let the cowardly left wing pacifists do-gooders infiltrate the hallowed halls of our inner most government. By not facing up and recognizing that we have a Muslim problem caused by savage zealot killers of a violent religion, many Americans will eventually die. Were at war and the liberals either need to become patriots and support America or shut up and get out of the hell out of the way.

They will be lucky if they don't end up getting charged with a hate crime.
I heard someone in authority[I can't recall who or what agency he was with] say shortly after the London attacks say that citizens should report what they consider suspicious activity to the authorities.
You better tread carefully on this one because if they are dressed in certain clothing, you could end up either charged with racial profiling or hate speech.
If they appear to be white Christian males, you have nothing to fear in reporting them.

False positives are the most common problem Ive run into doing diagnostic PCR. You really have to load that positive control last and not have any other tubes open while it is open, PCR is AMAZINGLY sensitive.

from the article "William Youmans, spokesman for the Council on American-Islamic Relations in Santa Clara. "It's very possible to combat terrorism without offending the cultural values of a major world religion."
I'm wondering, how exactly, this is something he should share, and with all of the leaders of the free world. These 'purported' followers of Islam, all of them cowards have been going at the collective western nations since the crusades, each time there are a series of brutal attacks, followed by a lull of 30+ years. Then they're back with an ever escalation of the brutality. And, incidentally I agree 100% with mic9852
