Dry Run or Wrong Turn? 3 Mid-East Men Try to Enter Calif. Marine Base

Was it just a wrong turn, or something more sinister?

Marine base Camp Pendleton — one of the largest military bases in the country — is reportedly on high alert after three Middle Eastern men tried to enter the base last weekend on multiple occasions in multiple vehicles. And while the men initially claimed they didn’t know each other and simply took a wrong turn, new information from a local gas station about “hateful comments” and “terrorist threats” casts doubt on their story:

KGTV explains some of the shocking details:

According to a Be On the Lookout (BOLO) alert issued to high-ranking Camp Pendleton officials, someone reported hearing hateful comments and terrorist threats from three men at a gas station in Oceanside Saturday.

Investigators at Camp Pendleton said the men asked the attendant for directions on how to get to Camp Pendleton before they left the gas station.

According to the alert, shortly after midnight Sunday, a rented silver Toyota Corolla driven by Naeem attempted to enter Camp Pendleton through the main gate. As it was being searched, Petrossian and Avanosian drove up in a black Mercedes, but were told to wait. Instead, they continued past the gate and onto the base. Following a short pursuit, the Mercedes was stopped and searched.

No weapons or contraband were found in the Mercedes, but base security noticed the air bag in the steering wheel of the Mercedes had been pulled out and re-attached with duct tape and had wires hanging free, the alert said.

In my experience it is difficult to get on a Marine base. I went through major security and my son was called and had to give permission before I was allowed to proceed through the gate.

This story got one mention on local news/talk radio all morning and that was only to report the increased alert level at Pendleton.

It doesn't sound like an accident. At best a prank, at worst a dry run.

They better check to see if these yitbos have any connection to Adam Gadahn and al-Qaida. The little goat boy made threats a few years back.

“...In 2006, Gadahn invoked U.S. Muslims to attack military bases, singling out California’s Camp Pendleton as a candidate for “a shooting spree.” Three years later, a Muslim soldier went on a shooting spree at Fort Hood. Gadahn, 31, praised the attack and urged more.

The first American to be charged with treason in 50 years, Gadahn is hiding in Pakistan with a $1 million bounty on his head...”

Anyone who thinks this was a matter of a "wrong turn" should have their brain in a jar in a medical school somewhere, where it can be studied and the source of the insanity revealed.

Best post of the thread.

In a rational country they would have been shot on the spot.

We have the base security enforcing 15 MPH speed limits (on roads that would be 25 or 30 MPH off base). A friend recently got a ticket for not making a complete stop at a stop sign. The security policeman said you will be ticketed if the car doesn't actually settle backwards slightly before proceeding.

I only mention this because this happens to people who actually work on base, and yet somehow, with such stringent application of the rules, these muzzies actually got on base.

It certainly looks like those men were up to no good.

I’m so glad that our crack DHS is right on top of this, training for imminent terrorist attacks by “anti-immigration forces.”

From where I sit it looks more like we have an administration that is actively supporting the other side.

Actually, I thought about that as I typed my post, but didn't say it.

I'm afraid you're right.

Good point. Our troops are still unarmed on our military bases, even after the slaughter at Ft. Hood.

Of course, there is nothing in the record about Hasan's being Muslim either. Apparently being PC is more important than protecting our troops.

These are frightening times.

"May God help us, because we darn sure are not helping ourselves"

Isn't there a saying somewhere that the lord helps those who help themselves?

After the first attempt there must have been a great temptation to shoot first and ask bor forgiveness later!

I'd hazard a guess that Obama looks forward to imposing martial law. That he may, in fact, create or allow situations to exist that would allow him to do so.

A few attacks, more than a few threats, a bit of propaganda about 2012 and the 12th imam and the general populace will be prepared to let uncle sam take over.

I'm afraid you're right.

The key question is: "How would his actions be different if his goal was to empower our enemies, alienate our friends, and destroy our economy and culture?"

I'm stuck for an answer, how about you?

I'm not really stuck for an answer (nor are you, obviously).

He would be doing nothing differently. Period.

I remember the barracks in Beirut very well. I guess the rest of the Corps forgot.

They have to be connected to Al-Qaida or a similar group.

You can’t just make wrong turns into military bases and not notice your heading the wrong way. As the article says this is a dry run.

Obama is making it easier for more attacks.

Yup, and I looked it up, laughs a little. Turns out it was from our old friend Ben Franklin, who paraphrased it from someone else ; }

http://www.gotquestions.org/God-help-themselves.html

Also, a good number of other folks consider counting on yourself as “unbiblical”...

It may get me into trouble, but I would like to think that so long as we are asking Him for guidance and strength, that to some extent, He is counting on us to serve His will down here, hopeful look.

May God bless.
