Let's keep a live commentary thread gonig again today.

[swarthyguy]

Rumsfeld to World -- If shooter(s) do not give up we nuke Mecca. /fantasy of mine.

[ET(end tyranny)]

Wonder why they wouldn't release the 793 ABF_ / light colored Chevy Stattion Wagon info that went over the Virginia State Police BOLO?

Maybe they are deliberately keeping the dang media in the dark so that they don't report it and TIP OFF THE SHOOTER AGAIN!!

[valleygal]

Thanks for the link, ET. Will read it.

LOL! Our Moms are on the frontline in the war on terror (DNC, CBS, CNN, etc.)!

My mother has so indoctrinated her grandchildren that even my conservative sister was shocked when her eight-year-old daughter said "Mom, this Nancy Johnson (R-CT), is a RINO who supports partial-birth abortion!"

She even summoned the kiddies to her house on 12/19/98 to watch the impeachment vote live!

[justshe]

~~~Returned to PAKISTAN huh? Pakistan where that Sheik from the Red House article is from, that talked about Militant Muslims setting up bases in Virginia. Just a coincidence??? ~~~

Huh uh.......

[MasonGal]

hmm - I don't know - I must have missed it - as I was trying to type on FR.

[Letitring]

What a GREAT idea. :)I have a little black and white in the kitchen, but it just doesn't seem as effective as color sets. :) The speakers are a great idea.

[cynicalman]

b>alqaeda sympathizers or a domestic terrorist..

For What Its Worth: If this was a ME terrorist don't you think by now there would be other sniper shooting in other cities to scare the hell out of everyone. This points to a lone sniper who may a sympathy with the ME's terrorists. OTOH, the "Mr. Policeman" language and the sniping around the Nation's Capital point to a foreign terrorist.

So my blood pressure and heart rate come down and also so that I can enjoy my child's game tonight will someone anyone please say something/ anything to calm me down.

[Freedom2specul8]

whoa... that's a big fantasy there fella!

[Howlin]

Short wave??? *Perk*

[Sacajaweau]

I'm thinking about folks that own these buildings do something like spraying "something" with an odor in the rear of their buildings that would be picked up by the shooter...but I don't know what?? and if it would be useful.

How about something like chalk dust?? Something he wouldn't see when he came out. We're going to need more than the gun (assuming he hides it or passes it off after every shot)as evidence unless we catch him in the act. At least if he's picking something up, it might keep him from ducking into a restaurant or something.

Do we keep the schools CLOSED till the sniper is captured? Who makes that decision?

IMO .. if they want to keep the schools open .. fine .. but parents also need to know what is truth or not .. so THEY can make the best decision for their kids

[MasonGal]

LOL!!!

[Freedom2specul8]

He specifically said there were no threats made against any group based on age, race or gender when the press kept asking about threats against the kids. Doesn't that sound like denial?

[valleygal]

Praying for you whille you travel back there. Now get back to work! :) As if...

[jacquej]

As another poster said, Fox just did mention Moose's remarks in the context we are discussing, but have cut out for a Rummy conference right now.

I am guessing, specualting, that he was instructed to do this, and to do it in this way, so that only those people "quick" enough to pick up the code would "get" what he was talking about. I now think the government has pretty well concluded that is is ME terrorism plain and simple, and needs to bring the public along slowly, so as not to have a sudden panic.

By letting us figure it out over a long period of time, we can be brought up to "temperature" slowly, and then we won't "jump" out of the pot in hysteria.

But, maybe it is just my imagination, who knows!

[mhking]

Short wave??? *Perk*

Down, girl, down.

[TexKat]

CNN pole says 83% of us think the FBI should take over the investigation. Says something, doesn't it?

I already believe that the FBI or someone else is in charge. Moose is not in charge. If you remember Moose's response on yesterday to the perp regarding the inaudible message. The perp was not talking to Moose, but to someone else.

[MasonGal]

I REALLY am geting off FR for now - Really, I am. Don't try and stop me, either. I must go --buy some laundry detergent and FOOD.

PLEASE don't try and stop me - I mean it!!!

I'll be back....

[Cu Roi]

My guess is that they are putting Moose out front to make the sniper(s) more comfortable, possibly to make them think they are dealing with a bumbler. Some of his mispronunciations, etc. may even be scripted.
