[history]
An al Qaeda suspect in custody in Belgium told American investigators he saw members of the terror organization training snipers in preparation for attacks on U.S. soil, a source told The Post last night.
One of the planned attacks targeted U.S. senators on a golf course.

If you have all the answers, why don't you become a cop.

I wasn't looking for a language lesson friend. If you had spelled it that way when you signed up (space and caps) you probably wouldn't have been mistaken for a disruptor. I know "troll" is the first thing that came to my mind when I saw the rant along with "the du gal." Are you telling me no one has pointed that out before?

I haven't seen you post before, therefore, I had no idea. I feel much better now as you seem to be the basic freedom-loving Freeper.

Investigators believe that whoever is doing the shooting knows area roads - leading them to think that the sniper is a local resident or someone who has been in the area for some time.

BOSTON -- A man who once drove a cab for a living through the streets of Boston is on trial in Jordan, suspected of being a terrorist for Osama bin Laden. And now authorities believe he was also a one-time informant for the FBI.
In a NewsCenter 5 exclusive, David Boeri reports that Raed Hijazi, once of Everett, Mass., is believed to be a leading connection between the hijackers of four airplanes and bin Laden.
The former Boston cab driver is now on trial for conspiracy to blow up a luxury hotel in Jordan and the Jews and Christians inside it. He has also been a suspect in the bombing of the USS Cole last year that killed 17 American sailors and wounded 39 others.
Jordanian prosecutors say that he admitted to training in Afghanistan at a terrorist camp run by Osama bin Laden.
A reliable source said that in the 1990s, Hijazi was an informant for the Boston bureau of the FBI. An American citizen, he was living in Everett, when, a source said, he was stopped by FBI agents investigating a drug-trafficking network that was bringing in white heroin from Afghanistan..................

Your comments would fit right in on the editorial pages of the New York Times, Washington Post, or countless other papers. Absurd as they were, it's not so surprising people took them at face value. We have all seen much worse.
That being said, compliments on your perfect parody of the standard liberal line.

"...If it weren't for republicans (white right wing extremist party of white right wing conservatives) and criminal madmen in the NRA we could have passed responsible gun laws years ago and these attacks never would have happened."Dude, Just between you, me and the lamp post, I think you got off the wrong exit on the interstate. Run along now...

If you have all the answers, why don't you become a cop. You want it to be a terrorist, you disagree with me? Okay, your opinion. My opinion isn't worth any less than yours.

This is too slick - a higher level of evil than the neighborhood punk, and it's going to spread. Perhaps. But, I can't shake the daily press conferences by Chief Moose and his standing next to DC Chief Ramsay at one of them. It's not hard for me to believe that a kid or young punk could outwit them.
To: concerned about politics
Does that mean we get to hit the abuse button because he/she didn't use one of those little smiley winking faces after their post?

No offense, but maybe you should try a little harder to detect obvious sarcasm when you see it.None taken.
I've already explained, can't you read, that I had not yet turned on my sarcasm detector when I read that witty paragraph. I've already accepted the blame. I was bad. I repent. Please forgive me.
But the gentleman who pointed out that this witty sarcasm has been a distraction from important and very serious matters is correct. We live in dangerous times. We are surrounded by enemies and fools on all sides. Our precious country is in peril. If we are not careful, we could lose much of what we most hold dear.
And most around us do not see this.

A sniper would not be standing around exposed like that. His head could take a slug from his Israeli counter-part.
It's a picture, not a video. How can you know what happened after the pic was taken?
To: akash
It's an M4 (short-barreled M16 with collapsing stock) with a cheek piece on the collapsing stock (for the scope). It's hard to see the underlying gun with all the accessories on it.
To: thedugal
Geez. I liked your post. It's nice to see a little dry sarcasm once in a while to underscore the idiocy of the left. Sadly, there are a few dim bulbs on this board that can't quite read at the level of your typing. On the other hand, it may indicate how pervasive the leftists illogical arguments have become, since so many people can't tell hyperbole from the "anti-right wing gun-nut lobby."
Keep up the good work.
