Bazooka found behind Jack-in-the-Box in Turlock

Snippets: Ready to go at any time, the Stanislaus County Bomb Squad is trained to defuse the toughest situations. But this week, they got a call they would never forget. They were called to handle the bazooka which was found with a few rounds.

While Turlock Police warned people inside the Jack in the Box, Sergeant Ralph with the Sheriff's department geared up. With his robot by his side, the veteran cop discovered that the rocket launcher did not work, and the missiles were no threat.

Threats to America

Ideologically, "we find ourselves crippled by political correctness and incapable of having honest conversations about meeting the threats around the world," Mr. Gingrich said.

Recent guidelines by the Department of Homeland Security and National Counterterrorism Center instructing government officials not to use "Islamic terms" to describe terrorists is "enormously self-destructive," he said.

"If we cannot have an honest discussion about the nature of the threats against us, we cannot develop strategies to meet those threats," he said. "It is simply suicidal to treat the al Qaeda network as simply 'an illegitimate political organization, both terrorist and criminal' while ignoring the radical religious foundation underpinning this and other groups that constitute an Irreconcilable Wing of Islam. Anyone blind to this should be dismissed from working in national security."

Kenneth Timmerman, an author and specialist on Iran, said: "The only way to get Tehran to stop killing Americans in Iraq, funding Hezbollah, and aiding al Qaeda, is to send a forceful message that the United States will no longer tolerate such behavior.

"That message must be sent with B-2 bombers, preferably on a broad array of leadership targets," Mr. Timmerman said.

A bazooka...someone taking a lunch break while in the middle of shooting a propaganda video and forgot to take it with him?

Anyway, that’s interesting MamaDearest.
Thanks.
