The “short leash policy”, if that meant making a “front running ally” out of the world's greatest terrorist state, passing them military hardware and billions of dollars of financial aid and effectively subsidizing their jihad against India.......obviously I guess it worked.
Again thank you America and President Bush for bringing about this day.
Penn Station was sanitized fairly soon after 9/11, and they recurrently send police or armed troops to guard it when there is reason for an alert.
They blocked off the taxi road that goes under the two parts of the complex, which used to be used to pick up passengers from the trains or the stadium, to prevent anyone from driving a truck bomb in there.
All of this was pretty obvious, since I commuted through Penn Station for a number of years before and after 9/11.
Most government buildings in the city were also protected from truck bombers with concrete guard posts along the curbs. But there are still plenty of crowded places in most cities that are not really well protected. You can’t easily protect everything that way.
I’m never comfortable near there or the Port Authority. But Penn Station especially, can’t say why.
Agreed. I felt the same way.
Actually, on the Eastern Shuttle, all you had to do was walk on. One bought one's ticket while in the air.
“Joe Biden was confused and couldn’t find India on a map.”
Ah, yes...Bigmouth Joe. Where the heck is he, our great foreign policy expert? Not a peep out of him on the Mumbai incident.
I agree with your post, but Arabs only comprise 18-22% of the world’s Muslims. Being “Arab looking” is not enough (many folks of Italian, Spanish and Portuguese ancestry have Arab blood, and there are many Arab Christians). RELIGIOUS profiling is what is needed (as well as looking at folks from countries known as terrorist supporting).
There it is, as plain as the nose on anyone's face (except Jacko's), the simple truth that MSM will avoid even if they have to go bankrupt.
Good point.
“Our gov’t and the ACLU is going to politically-correct you and I into an early grave.”
The ACLU is nothing more or less than the first wave of the enemy invasion. Once they have softened us up and gotten us to the point where we second guess ourselves in each and every situation, we are very easy prey.
Thanks for the PING.....no one says it better than Steyn!
Regardless of how you put it, the net effect is that America is consistently and whole heartedly supporting Pakistan in her terrorism against India. Period. End of the story.
I see you're already getting the hang of complaining about biased press coverage!
Welcome to Free Republic!
On please and thanks.
Oh yeah?
Care to offer some citations to bolster that assertion?
There was some evidence that the box cutters that the 9/11 hijackers used had been pre-cached by somebody servicing the airplane
