Forty terrorists coming in in a boat sounds like a fairy tale to me.

Sounds like the Clintons on a cruise to me. TORPEDO AWAY!

We must find all who are here on "student visas" and send them home now.

I read a few weeks ago that no new students from Arab countries are getting in because the INS was backlogged.

This can either be:
1)A PC big government excuse to keep them out.
2)They really are backlogged.

Personally, I hoping for #1. Sometime government lies are a good thing, especially when dealing with the enemy within.

BOAT SAID TO BE CARRYING TERRORISTS: FBI SEARCHES IN LOS ANGELES

I should report this as an abust of language. How about:

FBI SEARCHING BOAT IN LOS ANGELES, SAID TO BE CARRYING TERRORISTS

[Mad_Tom_Rackham]

For me, it means I need 40 more rounds of ammo...

BTW, I am only in favor of killing the islamist terrorists. I am always in favor of killing the islamist terrorists. I will always be in favor of killing the islamist terrorists. I am prepared to kill islamist terrorists. And I will kill any islamist terrorist that crosses my path.

Migrant workers should be handled via a sound immigration policy. Which we do not have at present.

Sheesh.

[Carry_Okie]

LOL! You must have a faster line than I do.

[Joe Hadenuf]

They got the Mexican coyotes to bring them in. What's 40 more hispanic looking migrants matter...

I wonder if our intelligence community or the FBI has thought of this.

I have always said, the Sadam Hussien could put on a NY Yankees cap and enter this country from the south, with little or no effort.

[Travis McGee]

I love it when they bunch up that way!

[Travis McGee]

How can you possibly support a policy of killing every islamic terrorist that crosses your path?

First, every bit of information about their contacts must be extracted.

Yeah. You're right. Thanks for talking some sense into me. I'll wait until we are at DEFCON 5. :O)

These terrorists are not fools.
They will not attack Los Angeles/Southern California.
None of them want to face each of their four wives and their depressed offspring
as they say "Honey, I nuked Disneyland!".

Yes, the govt. is doing its job but you Bush bashers never will admit that.

If you believe that, you're naive beyond belief, my friend. Thousands or millions more Americans will be sacrificed on the altar of political correctness before this thing is over. Our government is such a screwup that they were approving visas for the hijackers six months after 9/11. Is that what you call government "doing its job?"

I flew commercially a few weeks back and watched Middle Eastern males (a demographic group responsible for 100.0% of our current terrorist woes) walk onto flights without a glance from the "security" people there, while a 75-year-old caucasian woman was selected out of the same boarding line to take her shoes off, be patted down, and have her purse rifled through right there in front of everyone. Does that sound like the government "doing its job" to you?

You could witness an event that ranked 10 on a 10-point scale of suspicious activity, and I'll bet a dollar to a donut that you would not find one FBI agent who would seriously listen to you about it.

Our borders are still wide open. Middle Easterners are still pouring into our flight schools without a problem, for heaven's sake. This is the government "doing its job?"

I'm no Bush basher, but it's plain to see that PC has this administration firmly in its grip. This government is broken.

Sounds like a joke to me. If your story is true, then these security measures are totally asinine.

Ok...."40 terrorists on a boat" sounds like a punchline....however, there is only a couple solutions to such a riddle if indeed this is true information...

1 - They were on a privately owned yacht of some rich muslim and then, planned to drop off and pick up others along their way up and down the west coast. (A good distribution plan is key to a multi-pronged attack.)

2 - They were on one of those Chinese freighters with all the other immigrants hidden in a container.

~~~B.S.-O-METER OFF~~~

[BossLady]

Correction....."there ARE a couple solutions".

My fingers are slower than my brain....:)

It appears the Northern is the border of choice.
Time to quit saying your creed above, it's wrong.
Crossed lately?

[timestax]

....and by the way, we the government need another 100 Billion dollars to fight this. WHAT ABOUT CLOSING THE BOARDERS MR. PRESIDENT!!!! Until then & only then YOUR war on terrorism is a SHAM. 3 posted on 6/17/02 8:55 PM Pacific by Digger [ Post Reply

Ditto..All in the name of votes...which Bush is NOT gonna get from these "people"!

Sounds like a joke to me. If your story is true, then these security measures are totally asinine.

Columnist (and speechwriter for The Gipper during the Reagan Administration) Peggy Noonan
described her self-disgust for not intervening when an elderly couple were
getting the full-bore search at the airport.

Travel guru Peter Greenburg (appears on NBC's Today Show and has radio show)
also lets it rip about the stupidity of our politically-correct (and practically insane)
search procedures.
Greenburg says he now ships his luggage via FedEx ahead of departure when he's
flying domestically. That's how messed up this system is.
