This means war.
What goes around has just came back around. A taste of our own medicine.
How do we like it?
One of the planes was an American Airlines 737 passenger plane hijacked from a Boston flight.
As we go to print, US officials are reporting a bomb has exploded in the Pentagon or a plane flew into the site, the US defense command. At this time, the White House and the President of the
United States are being evacuated in accordance to emergency protocol. All US federal agencies are placed on alert as Washington and New York City are beginning to deal with terror attacks of unprecedented magnitude.
State Department officials are already releasing unofficial statements that Palestinian terror organizations are claiming responsibility for the attacks.
An excerpt from "The Origins of the Fourth World War" by J.R. Nyquist. If you have not already read it, start today!
WHAT A BUNCH OF CRAP!
The US has always taken great pains to avoid civilian casualties and has NEVER made them the target.
Go back to the hole you crawled out of. You are doing nothing but giving aid and comfort to terrorists.
The question becomes, "Who do we declare war on?"
After Pearl Harbor, the answer was clear: Japan. Hitler cleared up any differences of opinion regarding Germany by declaring war on us.
Now, the finger pointing will begin. Some will blame Osama Bin Ladem and want to make war on Afghanistan. Some will blame the Palestinian Authority and demand that it be destroyed. Some will claim that this was a plot by the Israeli Mossad to lure the USA into a war against the Palestinians just as Winston Churchill and FDR allegedly allowed Pearl Harbor to be surprised in order to get the USA into WW II. Some will blame narco-terrorists getting revenge for the extradition of Ochoa. Some may blame Lybia. Some America-haters will blame stray missles for a U.S. Navy ship.
Sorting all of this out may take months and even then, the responsible party may not be identified with certainty.
So, right now, we have no target that we can carpet bomb by B-52's.
However, one thing we can do, right now, is to get control over our borders. American citizens have a First Amendment right to hate America and publicly proclaim it from every corner. The foeriegn-born are here by the magnanimity of America.
It is time to start getting choosy about who is allowed to move to America or stay here. A one year moratorium on immigration would be a good place to start. During that year, the status of individuals with Green Cards should be reviewed. Those individuals who have engaged in conduct or speach that prove a hatred of America should have their Green Cards revoked and they should be sent back where they came from.
Before anyone says I am anti-immigrant, I will say that I am an immigrant. I am also a retired U.S. Naval officer and, during my years of active duty, I was stationed across an active minefield separating me from my former country and I was fully prepared to go to war with my own former country if the balloon went up.
This is war. As I was typing this post, I saw the collapse of the World Trade Center on live TV. The death toll today can easily exceed that of Pearl Harbor.
Wartime situations require wartime remedies.
Bump. Never forget.
