I THINK THE SNIPERS ARE AL QAEDA

Grampa Dave is cool.

How does the Tarot card fit into this theory?

I did hear that Muslims and Tarot cards had some connection, but I can't recall where or what I heard. I hope someone here does recall and will or already has posted it.

Your image of doughnut eating LEO's is the very reason there needs to be a Home Land Security with a new image of crime fighters.

Why could (they) not be Calypso Louies troops, or connected in some way. They are muslims and no doubt could use a little respect from someone. Especially a REAL Mullah from Mullahland to legitimize them as being relevant and of course, putting a coupla sheckles Riyals into the pot (hair weaving,Cadillacs, other expenses etc)

You can take the muslim off the camel but its hard to remove the camel from the muslim(look at yassir) . And those that have never seen a camel, long for tea-totaling pigless nights in Aytolla-ville(pilgrimage). Something tells me that American or foreign muslims don't get off on the 4th of July. If the FBI, BATF, CIA are looking for foreign'ers, IMO, their pissing up a tree. Just a feeling.....

You'd think Moslem terrorists would be reluctant to shoot a cab driver in the D.C. area, where so many of the cab drivers are Moslem

If they shoot a moslime it only means that the victim goes to paradise sooner and becomes a martyr himself.

If this were an AQ member he/she would NOT ever, ever, ever say they were ALLAH, like "I AM ALLAH." They might say they are GOD because to them that is not ALLAH but, they would not say "I AM ALLAH."

Also, it would be a dead give away.

If this were a person trying to make people think they were a muslim or AQ member they would HAVE used the term "I AM ALLAH" on the Tarot card instead of "I AM GOD."

You have hit on the one line that has not yet been crossed, either on 9/11 or since. I hope it never is, although I suspect that the anthrax attacks last year were intended to cross that line. What is it? Multiple big hits continuing over multiple days across the nation. To take your point, what if such shootings were going on in Los Angeles, Denver, Chicago, St. Louis, the DC metro area, and Boston all at the same time? Or imagine of the anthrax attacks had continued, were perpetrated in cities across the country, and took more lives? Or if more than four planes were hijacked on 9/11, on the West Coast, in the central part of the country, and the East Coast nearly simultaneously, before anyone had a chance to realize what was happening. In other words, true warfare rather than the occasional guerrilla-style attack, (which the sniper shootings are, by the way). Terrorism is just sting-and-run guerrilla warfare by another name.

[johnb838]

I don't know why the don't send up a high altitude reconnaissance aircraft with wide angle, high resolution camera's and have it orbit for a few days. When the next shooting occurs, look at the images....

Brilliant! Why didn't the cops think of that, they could have had them by now. I think you ought to go volunteer to help out the ATF, they won't know how they got along without you.

[DBtoo]

I hope our law enforcement agencies have enough sense to think of that! It seems easy enough to do, and they have a small enough area to work with.

[johnb838]

All the signs in the basic post point to a terrorist cell. The only thing I questioned was not moving around the country.

OK, Sir, perhaps I was a bit quick to drop the Moron-bomb. I apologize. I do think that if they had them ready they probably would (or will) activate in other locales. As far as this team if they leave the area they give up their infrastructure. I also expect they have reconoitered this area extensively and would lose that advantage. And the metro area is big enough to move to a different quadrant each time and elude the heat.

I am curious as to how long in advance the sniper(s, selected the targets.

As the number of hits increase, the chances that this person accidentally wasn't recorded on any surveillance tape becomes more of a joke. The shooter knows exactly where surveillance cameras are pointing at in the areas near the gas stations where he has done those hits.

If their is a surveillance camera pointing directly out the door, with enhancement technology, if the shooter was 200 yards out directly from that door, a fuzzy capture of them could occur.

I have this feeling that maybe 3 months ago, 6 months ago, all of these places were visited by the shooter. Once the shooter is captured, I bet you will get a bunch of vague recollections from folks who work near these businesses where the shots have been fired.

Just my hunch though.

The Angry White Man Theory comes from past experience. Blacks and Hispanics tend to be more family-oriented than whites in my noticings. Whites tend to be more independent or smaller families. There's less connection, less love, more "opportunities" not to care, or, hate others. And throw in the "keeping up with the 'jones'es'" a good percentage of white baby-boomers and silent generation wanted to participate in, and you get a lot of "hurt" or "not good enough", nutjobs not knowing what to do next, so usually marrying and breeding. Granted, this is a very small percentage of the population... but that's my analysis.

No, I didn't get this information from watching Enemy at the Gates. What piqued my interest was a documentary about the duel I watched on the History Channel.

But you're right, his name wasn't Koenig. He was an SS Colonel named Heinz Thorwald. He was still head of the Sniper School.

The funny thing is, I distinctly recall the documentary stating that the guy's name was Koenig! That's quite strange. It is possible that there was another German in the theater who was a sniper named Koenig and the producers of the documentary made a mistake.

Now that is strange! Anyhoo, here's a link for you....

Thanks for the correction. It's not often I make a complete boner like that. However, same story, different name. Wonder why the movie people changed the name to Zaitsev, as well.

Be Seeing You,

I'm using a blunt instrument, but trying to make a point. Too much of our domestic counterterrorism doctrine in law enforcement still seems to be reactive, when we need to be actively hunting these people to the point that they make mistakes.

The ATF has a tendency to screw up a lot, along with the FBI.

Thanks, but I work alone.....

The murdered taxicab driver (male) was East Indian. He happened to be an inlaw of my wife's best friend from school days. The friend has, unfortunately, has had other difficult issues to deal with recently, as well.

Would an Islamic say "I am god" or "I am Allah?"

You know, they never mentioned the language that the message was written in. Also, I heard on a news report that there were "three dozen" additional words in the message that they are not letting out.
