...deport them....

That could take months.

Do you think it's safe to eat, until they're gone?

My advice...... Grow your own, buy locally grown stuff in season, organic if possible, and at least, thoroughly wash everything you bring home.

I wouldn't be surprised to see a resurgence of home canning and freezing if an attack ever occurs.

For now! People should start growing their own food, insofar as circumstance allows. Perhaps the jihadists should be forced to be "food tasters".

real original ausman... brilliant comeback... rofl... saw the movie "fight club" eh? mischeif and mayhem...

Are you now living in the USA byron? or are you living down under? For an alleged aussie, you seem to have an awful lot to say about AMERICAN issues... I can only guess you have spent a little time here in the past.

BTW, Didn't australia have problem with arab "rape gangs" a while back? How did you solve that little problem?

Sheik, how are urbanites and city dwellers going to 'grow their own food'? Are you doing that? PLEASE, STOP BEING SO GULLIBLE. Just go back and read the article and reflect for a moment on how much the agencies who push all this nonsense are gaining from it. There's been NO terror attacks, for eight months, yet the 911 gravy train rolls on.

Yes I have, and I'm very fond of your country. That's one of the reasons I am so dismayed at watching this mass hysteria here, every day. Much of it promoted by people who should know better, and until 911 seemed quite calm and rational. Now when are you going to acknowledge that these daily beatups on anthrax, suitcase nukes, smallpox, Cuban bioweapons, food contamination, Iranian missiles etc etc etc are a load of BS and you are at no risk whatsoever, Bob? Or is the excitement of being a 'target' too addictive? If you can't do that, at least tell me how much time has to pass without any of these doomsday scenarios coming true, before you can stand down. Weeks? Years?

..how does 400,000 to 800,000 -- in our country -- potential killers sound?...

It sounds like grotesque paranoia. Grow up.

Oh, don't put that idea into circulation.

Unless you want our TVs full of 'Muslim-safe' refrigerator ads?

...it would be nothing at all to infiltrate a few hundred terrorists into these places in the matter of a weekend....

..all they need do is send their little Islamics out for training in fast food restaurants. Let's see .... 1,000 terrorists take jobs in MickeyD's, B.K's, Hot'nJuicy, T.B's, and chicken places all across the country.

Can you imagine what would happen? ....

What should happen is that alarmists like you should be arrested. You would have been, in WWII. Depending on what state you're in, any decent investigator could start by questioning you over breaches of food disparagement laws.

I suppose you can afford to have that head-in-the-sand attitude Down Under. Up here in America, we know better.

The positive side to this is, in the event we had an attack on our processed/store bought foods, there would be a resurgence of relying on farm fresh products grown from known suppliers, ie.. American farmers and ranchers. We eat better and healthier and our farmers cut out the middle man. Could be a win -win.

Gee, Byron .... why the personal attack? Did you read the headline from UPI ??

U. S. prepares for terror attack in food
UPI | 5/12/2002 | ...

So are you saying that UPI ought to be arrested? They are the ones who announced a problem with food.

Actually, I do grow some of my own food. In WW@ they were called "Victory Boxes". They were all over NYC.

I don't think of it that way, Sam. I reckon that if you get carried away with these scares, you're giving the terrorists what they want. An America, gripped by fear. I'm genuinely amazed that someone of your stature and FR longevity is succumbing to that.

Tex, there's a big difference between using a generic term like 'food', and actually naming restaurant chains, as you did. Anyway, we obviously can't find any common ground, so let's leave it.

But of course, you would know more than Daniel Pipes.

So, what say we cut the above range in half. How does 200,000 to 400,000 sound?

Gee, Byron .... what makes you think Oz is immune from attacks by al Qaeda?

In the meantime, a huge shipment of cyanide has been hijacked. One hundred 50 gallon barrels of this poison which is so lethal that even a whiff can kill. So what are the Muslims going to do with it? .....

I have a friend in Oz who has been urging me to move there because the U.S. might be attacked by Chinese who are supplying WMD to the Islamics. Oz is a lot closer to China that we are, and it occurs to me you might even see Asian terrorist faces before we do.

In the meantime, I hear gangs of Asian Islamics are running amok in Oz. Terrorizing, beating and raping young women. After all, 13 year old girls in shorts are just common street hookers and in the eyes of Muslims deserve to be raped, huh?

I think your security forces know Islamic terrorists are jumping ship and slipping illegally into your country. I suggest you direct your attention to raising public awareness in Oz about potential terror attacks.

The buffet 'buffoons' may lose a little weight if their local pig trough becomes infected by turbanites.


BUMP
