Well, many were using whores and prostitutes while here illegally and on expired visas ... Most, as I understand it, were not married.

Him, thus jihadist’s wife PARTICIPATED IN THE KILLING. But apparently the WaPo thinks she didn’t know about it?!

Oh, sorry, this rag is talking about 9-11. Well, of course at least some of them knew!

Trump's been batting a thousand in his presumed outrageous statements.

He exaggerates, but his substance is always right.

Yeah, Trump seems to sometime conflate different attacks and different outrageous events.

Which I can see him using at some point, when some MSM moron points it out, and he says something like "look, so I mixed up Islamic massacre 'A' with Islamic massacre 'X', so what? What's your point? I can't keep track of every one of their murderous attacks on us!

It is irrelevant to the conversation that virtually none of the 9/11 hijackers were married.

The point Trump was makings was that if they did have wives in the US, the hijackers would have told them about their plans and them sent them back to their home countries of Iraq or Saudi Arabia.

I think the media is preaching to its own choir. Anything it says is dutifully repeated by its disciples. Veracity has nothing to do with it.

Did you see this little gem?

Syed Farook's father: He was "obsessed" with Israel

In an interview with Italian daily La Stampa, Farook said that he once tried to console his son by promising him that Israel would not exist in another two years because "China, Russia and America will bring the Jews back to Ukraine."

In Sunday's La Stampa (link in Italian) report, Farook said, "My son said that he shared [IS leader Abu Bakr] Al Baghdadi's ideology and supported the creation of the Islamic State. He was also obsessed with Israel."

"I told him he had to stay calm and be patient because in two years Israel will not exist any more. Geopolitics is changing: Russia, China and America don't want Jews there any more. They are going to bring the Jews back to Ukraine. What is the point of fighting? We have already done it and we lost. Israel is not to be fought with weapons, but with politics. But he did not listen to me, he was obsessed," Farook explained to US correspondent Paolo Mastrolilli.

Somebody knew whether it was wives, girlfriends, sisters, mothers, brothers, fathers, or friends.

People they knew KNEW about their plans and did not report it.

Someone clearly knew. Why would it be surprising to assume some wives did, too?

From the FR archive.

From 9/13/11- (5)Suspects Caught Crashes on Camera (They Watched Crashes & Celebrated, Also Some Suspects Abroad:


Associated News Papers (London)

September 13, 2001

Five men suspected of being involved in the attack on the World Trade Centre set up cameras to record the atrocity, it emerged today.

Five suspects allegedly involved in the atrocities are said to have set up cameras on the banks of the Hudson to record the crashes.

The men set up cameras on the west bank of the Hudson River, trained them on the twin towers to capture the attacks and apparently congratulated each other when the crashes occurred, the New York Times reported.

The five were under investigation by police in Union City, New Jersey, but it was unclear if any of them were in custody today.

The allegation came as police in New Jersey told the New York Times the hijackers who left from Newark airport on the flight which crashed in Pennsylvania had received aid from associates in the area.

The paper reported law officials said the team was "aided by confederates in Newark who were responsible for logistical support, including money, rental cars, credit cards and lodging".

Regardless of whether their wives knew, the point is that, if they did know, they would have done nothing to stop them.

Every jihadist was raised in part by an adoring, nurturing, encouraging mother, all afflicted by the same type of domineering psychosis that Hillary so enjoys.
