You're welcome, Cindy.
That one really tugged at me too.
Hope you're feeling better.
And Happy Anniversary!
Thank you.
While I have no doubt that OPEC is in cahoots with terrorists,a quick perusal of SEC filings by the major oil companies reveals that the increased cost of fuel is going straight to their bottom line. Over the last several years, these companies have voluntarily cut refinery output to drive up profits.
Welcome home.
and that is a strange bunch of messages, that you posted,
what does Honda have to do with muslims?
Mercenaries AND bounty hunters - perhaps those subscribing to Soldier of Fortune magazines could really get into this (an idea whose time has come). The US needs to consider ALL options IMHO.
Rebels linking up with foreign jihadists, says PNP official
http://www.abs-cbnnews.com/topofthehour.aspx?StoryId=14015
A lethal mix of militant groups is emerging in Mindanao, a senior
police intelligence official said, warning of attacks as foreign and local
jihadists share resources, talents and capabilities, a Reuters report
said Monday.
The intelligence official, who declined to be identified, said foreign
Islamic militants, mostly Indonesians, were building alliances with
several homegrown Moro rebels to survive government offensives in the
south.
Since July, troops backed by US aerial surveillance vehicles have been
combing coastal and mountain villages in Maguindanao province for about
30 rebels from the al-Qaeda-linked Abu Sayyaf group, who are thought to
be operating with a handful of Indonesian militants.
"These militants are now crossing organizational lines to exchange and
share manpower, expertise and resources," the intelligence official
told Reuters late on Sunday.
"If governments in the region are cooperating to eliminate these
threats, we are now seeing that terrorists are also sharing their 'best
practices' to fight back".
A senior US diplomat in Manila drew an angry reaction from government
leaders earlier this year when he said Mindanao risked turning into "an
Afghanistan situation".
The intelligence official said there were intelligence reports that
Rajah Solaiman Revolutionary Movement, a group of radical Moro converts,
had merged with the Abu Sayyaf group led by Khaddafy Janjalani.
This, he said, had increased the threat of attacks in Manila because
most of the converts were based around the capital.
Janjalani, long the subject of manhunt operations on Mindanao, is also
thought to have developed close links with Indonesian militants
belonging to different jihadist groups, including Jemaah Islamiah (JI).
A classified security report shown to Reuters said JI instructors had
taught about 60 of Janjalani's followers how to handle crude bombs
fashioned out of unexploded mortar rounds.
JI has been blamed for several of the deadliest attacks in southeast
Asia, including the October 2002 Bali bombing that nearly killed 200
people, mostly Australian tourists.
Officials said foreign militants were forced to seek out other rebel
groups in Mindanao because the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF), the
country's largest Moro rebel group, which is in talks with the
government, started pushing them to leave.
But they said rogue MILF elements continued to protect the foreign
militants, allowing them to hide in a marshy area in Maguindanao province.
"We always believed the leadership of MILF is determined to cut its
ties with these militants," said Rodolfo Garcia, a member of the
government's peace panel negotiating with the MILF.
The government has said it will resume informal talks with the MILF
within a month in Malaysia on a proposed ancestral homeland for Muslims in
Mindanao to help end the conflict that has killed more than 120,000
people since the late 1960s.

re: honda - muslims
Gold is where you find it.
Terrosists may pose as homeless for surveillance, government says
Asking for increased vigilance in the wake of the London bombings, the government is warning that terrorists may pose as vagrants to conduct surveillance of buildings and mass transit stations to plot future attacks.
"In light of the recent bombings in London, it is crucial that police, fire and emergency medical personnel take notice of their surroundings, and be aware of 'vagrants' who seem out of place or unfamiliar," said the message, distributed via e-mail to some federal employees in Washington by the U.S. Attorney's office.
It is based on a State Department report that was issued last week. The State Department had no immediate comment Monday.
The warning is similar to one issued by the FBI before July 4, 2004 that said terrorists may attempt surveillance disguised as homeless people, shoe shiners, street vendors or street sweepers.
The e-mail stresses that there is no threat of an attack and that it is intended to be "informative, not alarming."

A 22-year-old Lodi man arrested in a federal terror probe "swore that
he would go to jihad" in conversations that were recorded by a secret
witness, and he later strongly indicated that he had been accepted to a
terrorist training camp in Pakistan, prosecutors say.
The new allegations are made by U.S. Attorney McGregor W. Scott in a
court filing that asks a federal judge in Sacramento to continue holding
Hamid Hayat and his father, 47-year-old Umer Hayat, without bail. Both
are charged with lying about the son's alleged attendance at a training
camp.
Attorneys for the father and son denied the allegations Sunday and said
their clients had no connection to terrorism. They said they have
learned from the Hayats that the witness befriended many Muslims in Lodi and
got so close to the Hayats that he once spent the night at their house.
The attorneys said the witness was aggressive and leading in his
conversations.
The new government filing marks the first time prosecutors have spoken
of a cooperating witness in the case. They say the witness recorded
Hamid Hayat when he was in the United States in March and April of 2003,
and recorded him over the phone when he was in Pakistan in late April
2003.

"Catch Us If You Can

Thank you, Vel, I couldn't place it but knew it was familiar somehow. Was this group part of the "British invasion" of the 60's?
BTW, there was a plane crash at Brandywine airport in PA today though I don't know if the MSM picked up on it.
You hit the nail on the head Granny. How our great country could outsource the very items that our military needs to persevere is beyond me. It's akin to having our troops food rations prepared by known terrorists.
Using environmentally safe ammunition makes US Army dependent upon China
As far as I know the Chinese are still "peacekeeping" for the UN in Haiti, teaching the Haitian police sniping techniques.
Hope you are feeling better today and HAPPY ANNIVERSARY to you and your wife!
Went to get my standing prescription at walgreens today got home and it looked different found out it was from India from a phramacy there. Since when are they using companys from the mid east???
I agree. Unless the problem is tackled seriously, it won't be taken seriously by the illegals. This is not only an issue about protecting our borders but about respect for laws that are already on the books and respect for those who enforce (or refuse or are unable to enforce) them.
The clock is ticking and being clueless speaks forebodingly of how our personal safety is ultimately up to us. They sound resigned to being a "cleanup crew."
