Many thanks. I am keely interested in this story. Also the Tennessee Driver's License lady found dead in a burned out car. Body in car identified as license examiner - Update on Memphis, Tennesse License Examiner

I think you should post your find as a new thread. It has enough new details to deserve such.

Truck halted on way to Pentagon
By Richard Sisk
NEW YORK DAILY NEWS

WASHINGTON - Two Middle Eastern men carrying fake IDs drove their tow truck past signs barring trucks and headed for the Pentagon until police officers stopped them, the FBI said Wednesday.

FBI agents and Virginia state troopers found no weapons or explosives in the vehicle. They said the passenger flipped a bogus Virginia driver's license out the window as they approached.

The driver also "became visibly upset" when agents found a second phony driver's license hidden in his wallet, FBI agent James Green said in court papers.

In a brief court appearance Wednesday, the driver was tentatively identified as Imad Abdel-Fatah Hamed, aka Imad Nimer. Various IDs he carried listed him as 28 years old.

The passenger carried IDs naming him as Sultan Rasheed Zaabi and Abdulla Rasheed Zaabi. His age was either 23 or 24. He also carried a United Arab Emirates passport with three separate U.S. visas, and was held on immigration charges.

You will find no one more opposed to the Murderous Minions of Mad Mo than I. However, your initial comment was to shoot all illegal aliens not what you post in 99.

I believe that illegals from the Middle East are an immediate threat and must be found and deported but a draconian roundup of all illegals would not be possible or as productive as concentrating on the followers of Islame.

Let me know when Mexicans start diving planes into skyscrapers and I will join your jihad against them. But until that happens they are on the back burner until the principal issue is dealt with.

You are ignoring the fact that many terrorists penetrate our defenses over the Mexican Border. A crack-down revealed Hundreds of Middle Easterners in just one night!

French-speaking terrorists jump over the border from Canada. In fact, the WTC bombers came in from quebec and started out in Maine, of all places.

[justshutupandtakeit]

No, I am not ignoring that. What I said was that when Mexicans start ramming skyscrapers with planes they jump to the top of the list.

At present it will take a herculean effort just to round up the hundreds of thousands if not millions of Islamics much less believing that we could include the Mexicans too.

[justshutupandtakeit]

That is just silly we don't worry about strays when rabid maddogs are attacking.

[Protect the Bill of Rights]

only 1/2 dozen different identities on several state licenses that are fake?

Now there is a case for a National ID. Silly me, all this time I have been against a National ID. It would be much more difficult to forge 1 than 6, I guess.

[justshutupandtakeit]

While Mexican illegals who commit other crimes are a problem and should be dealt with, the focus until it is accomplished is the removal of all illegal Islamics from this country; they are the ones running terror operations against the nation. Our resources must be 90% focused on removing those who wish to destroy us and our religion; the Mexicans don't want to do either.

Hysteria is not an mode to be operating in at present. South Carolina has nothing on Chicago when it comes to Mexicans legal or otherwise and they represent no mortal danger in either place. Expensive and sometimes a nuisance but not hoping and working for a chance to destroy everything positive about our civilization. While we shouldn't fall asleep at the wheel neither should we be careening all over the road.

Truck Driver Released on Bond

ALEXANDRIA - The driver of a tow truck that was stopped when it went past a police checkpoint and into a Pentagon security zone was released on $5,000 bond today.

Imad Abdel-Fattah Hamed, 28, had told police he had not noticed a sign prohibiting trucks from state Route 110 when he was driving Monday night.

When the judge asked Assistant U.S. Attorney John Morton about an arraignment date, Morton replied the case may not make it as far as arraignment.

Hamed, who lives in Manassas, told authorities he was a naturalized U.S. citizen originally from Jordan.

You are correct that all illegals need to be eventually rounded up. In my neighborhood there are large numbers of illegal Polish, and Russians and Irish. They are not particularly causing problems but are themselves targets of extortion, fraud, robbery, blackmail and worse.

All in good time, my dear, all in good time.

For some reason God still seems determined to protect America from her own stupidity and evil. It has survived and prospered when for the first 50 yrs. or so there was no check whatsoever on immigration or even records of immigrants. Even after there began to be some type of control (passed against the influx of Chinese) the border with Mexico was essentially merely a line on a map with people free to come and go unencumbered by regulation.

So there is every hope we will survive. Dealing with the criminal element in all groups is the essential key to many problems with immigrants.

Our President is returning the law of the land to the Constitution and will have to fight his way through the Democrats' attempts to block his judicial appointments which could accomplish this and permanently misunderstanders on the Right who don't understand the basic elements of politics.

These chronic complainers can't seem to get it through their heads that the vast majority of the voters are not ultra right wingers and therefore such a movement would be political disaster and lead to total, irrevocable control by the true socialists.

With friends like these who needs enemies?

[justshutupandtakeit]

Well you are complaining.

How do you propose he get anything done without compromising when the Senate is against him and the RATS won't cooperate? Bush's style seems to be work behind the scenes then just win.
