Terrorist Blamed His Failure on Bush
Human Events Online ^ | Feb 10, 2006 | Terence P. Jeffrey

Posted on 02/10/2006 4:59:54 AM PST by Terrence DoGood

Homegrown terrorist Jeffrey Leon Battle considered America the “land of the kaffirs,” or unbelievers, and the American people “pigs.”

He once lamented to an acquaintance—who happened to be a government informant—that the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks did not sufficiently damage the U.S. economy.

“This is the land of the enemy,” he said of his own country in a May 8, 2002, conversation secretly recorded by the government. He explained to a friend how his “burning desire” to become an Islamic martyr had inspired his aborted quest to join forces with al Qaeda in Afghanistan, where he could kill American troops.

Lesson Learned

Battle, now 35, is serving an 18-year prison sentence for conspiring to wage war against the United States, a crime to which he confessed and pleaded guilty. But members of Congress who are stalling on renewing the Patriot Act and attacking President Bush for ordering the National Security Agency to intercept al Qaeda-linked communications in and out of the United States could learn something from studying the activities and communications of the Portland Seven terrorist cell that Battle and others began forming in Oregon in the months before—that’s right, before—the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks.

The Democrats hope and pray on a daily basis that we will get attacked again. Nothing would please them more than to see busses bombed, the body parts of innocent and helpless men, women , and children flying through the air.

Always remember that to the Democrat the United States and its citizens are the enemy. The Democrat's friend is whoever is trying to destroy the United States at any particular time. Once it was the communits. Now it is the followers of the pervert.

When the execrable Don Imus was interviewing the reprehensible Chris Dodd (Sen., Dem, CT) this morning he did get off a good line. He asked the senator whether what the democrats want to do with the Patriot Act is really turn parts of it into a Terrorist Bill of Rights?

Thank-you President Bush for keeping us safe and having to contend with the traitorous idiots in D C as well

If President Bush could make the dead arise and walk the Dems would want him arrested for practicing medicine without a license.

What's so sad about this is that we taxpayers have to pay to keep this piece of excrement alive. Hopefully one of his boyfriends in prison will do us a favor.

I guess IMUS still has rare moments of lucidity.

I would bet that Bernie or Charles gave him that line...but he did deliver it. But, Dodd dodged the question blathering on about "proper oversight."

Ah yes! Bernie or Charles. I like Bernie the best. I TIVO'd one of his Cardinal Egan stints. It's hilarious and nasty. He really slammed Hitlery.

Jail's too good for the bastard. Put him against a wall with a target over his heart. No blindfold.
