There's more than just AQ to consider. In the DC area alone are besides 2 AQ groups, also 2 Hamas and 2 Hezbollah, as well as one other I can't think of at the moment. And the Palestinians are known to use snipers. This could be Hamas if it's foreign.

Doesn't matter which branch of the tree of evil is involved. If proven to be islamists, it will be open season on them (as it should be). Locked and loaded.

Is there anyone out there that still thinks this is somehow related to Michaels? Like Ted Williams did...

I don't...but I do miss hearing Ted Williams discussing his thoughts. Always makes me chuckle a bit.

A really bad night to be out cruising with your white van and ladder rack. Like wearing a bullseye on your back.

I, for one, will NOT surrender any of my God-given Rights, which millions have fought and died for, just because a few panty-wearing sissies are "afraid" of a bunch of sand goblins who were let into this country by the same government which seeks to restrict our Rights.

This place has gotten mighty scary, hasn't it? Hope you got a spare brown t-shirt. Maybe an arm band or two. Gonna have to blend in, b4 long...

Nah, this guy was smuggling cigarettes.

"Didn't the Japanese land somewhere in Oregon? "

They sent incindiary bombs in balloons. They actually killed several people who were on an outing with one. The information was kept secret until long after the war so the Japanese would not know they succeeded in reaching us.

I think this is more like it...I prefer "he who fights and runs away, lives to run another day..."

I don't get captured by the women...Seems that they are the ones who run away, no matter how hard I try to catch 'em...

America could go into a "lock down" for a long, long time.

Well, I used to think that myself. But I'm leaning away from that. I think a whole lot more extremists are going to be picked up, and it also won't be as easy to get visas either.

When was the Constitution of the United States ratified by the states? The follow up questions to this are: When was the war of 1812 fought, where was it fought, and against who?

Did you mention that you teach American history?

My heart goes out to these police officials. I pray for them as well as the victims. Our whole country is in need of prayer. We are truly in perilous times.

...has anyone considered the FACT that the Muslims may have already set up a network of "safe houses" that these snipers could be disappearing into.

This is what I suspect. Maybe time for police to make deputies of citizens who each would be assigned a time slot to watch a known muslim home/business that also has a garage or place to hide a vehicle. I remember working for a bunch of goofs in Southfield MI (Columbia Nutritional Diet System) who followed a religious nut out west, Bhagwan, see this link

This was about 20 years ago...they had 200,000 followers and over 600 "safe" houses all over the world, these people traveled from house to house, this fact was used to try to get me to join - "look how you can travel for free with us" we often had people from other countries hanging around the office during their stay at local safe houses...I often wondered how many of them were hiding out at the time from something. I saw picture from the ranch with guys holding machine guns and my coworkers started signing up for trips to the ranch and came back with different names - one guy named Tom came back as Cheetah, another guy, the VP, came back as Veet, it was very freaky to see smart business people fall for this - they were after tax free statis as ministers in this at first but got brainwashed at the ranch as far as I could tell from their stories before and after the trips to the ranch.

I am sure Muslims have the same safe houses already set up too.

(I was not interested in their efforts to "convert" me - I was young and too busy partying - LOL - and eventually quit when they talked of mass suicide in case of bhagwans death -was the last straw for me!).

I think that the muslim groups, who are much bigger than that little cult I described, would definitely have safe houses and safe businesses for the sniper to hide out in...only a fool would think otherwise and having seen this type of system with my own eyes with that bhagwan cult, would hope the police and fbi are also on the ball on this.

I don't care if you're on this thread or not.

My point was that since you're not commenting on the thread topic, you obivously are here to strut around like a rooster, acting like you're the most patriotic person on the forum and sneer at the rest of us who don't agree with you.

Perhaps you and whatever could go off and form your own thread, FR SUPER PATRIOTS -- We know the REAL MEANING of the Constitution, Not to Mention What's Good for the Rest of You Peons
