Moose to speak all of a sudden about something important*

[Lucas1]

Too many locals for proper co-ordination. This has got to have a central war room to be handled properly.

You can be assured that they have a central war room.

[bjs1779]

Seems to me a serial killer, while a terrible thing, would not necessarily be a threat to our way of life.

Unless they have information that it could be a terrorist operation, then you would be right.

[ItisaReligionofPeace]

A statement like that certainly sounds like his goal is much more than thrill killing, it sounds like he wants to terrorize...on whose behalf is the only question.

[ez2muz]

"Moose is in over his head. The F.B.I. should take over this whole investigation. There are entirely too many "B" actors in this movie."

I believe that the FBI is in charge, aren't they?

As soon as the killings crossed state lines?

[My Favorite Headache]

Bulletproof bump

[x-navy seal]

As their denented minds would think: To save their children from America, they will kill ours.

[AmericanInTokyo]

from the military alphabet. "AT...Alpha Tango....Arab Terrorism"

[ez2muz]

Good post.

[cake_crumb]

"what in the HE}} are they waiting for? sheesh"

LOL...it's hard to figure out where guns keep their fingers?

[laker_dad]

OK, when did the news conference actually start? And when did the markets close?

[Elenya]

perhaps the sniper's note (or call) indicated that they MUST relay that message about no safety for our kids

I'm afraid the "ANYWHERE" is the important part her. Sounds like the signal of a nationwide operation. I hope I'm wrong, but I've got a bad feeling about it.

[r9etb]

This screams of Al Qaeda and the EXACT threats we got.

This also screams of a nutjob who's loving all of this attention.

IOW, you can't pin that one statement on one or the other.

The whole deal is starting to sound more like a nutjob the longer it goes on.

Superpower ?

HaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHa

BUMP

[EverOnward]

I'm going to keep my eye on your posts -- you are astute in a very cryptic world. Hoping to see more of your posts.

[marajade]

"No they need to call the people to arms. To patrol, to hunt this bastard."

How would you know the difference between those doing the hunting and the perpretrator doing it?

[debg]

that was my first thought (anywhere.) i'm a teacher and i bet we'll see a drop in attendance tomorrow all over the nation.

[Laverne]

Thanks for your post i-dont-chat; I agree. Its most disheartening that some folks are joking about Moose when clearly he is under an enormous amount of stress just trying to do his job. Perhaps the admin moderator can open a thread "lets make fun of moose" for those who want to disparage this man, outside of a thread where others are interested in the facts of whats going on and not the continuous put-downs.

[Jim Noble]

>>And how do you propose we do that? <<

Until MFH has the chance to reply, allow me:

1) Cease the issuance of visas to nationals of Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Egypt, Iran, Pakistan, and Yemen.

2) Cancel all existing visas and residency permits for nationals of those countries.

3) Transfer INS Interior Enforcement, the Border Patrol and the Coast Guard to DOD.

4) Establish Office of Border Control and Interior Enforcement at the Pentagon, US Army four-star reports to Chairman JCS.

5) Establish concentration camps for internment of all enemy aliens (those who have not voluntarily departed when their visas and green cards were cancelled).

6) Screen all enemy aliens and deport those who are not serving a vital national security interest by remaining.

7) Arm the unorganized militia of the United States.

8) Hunt down and capture or kill all those not interned or deported under above rules.

This is May 1940, boys and girls. The phony war, the sitzkreig, is almost over. Nothing has been done to prepare us for what is coming.

These eight proposals, marajade, would accomplish MFH's goals. Do you have any better ideas?

[Redleg Duke]

I appears to me that by virtue of the fact that he is in this position (one he wasn't drafted to.), he has positioned himself for this.

Or are you feeling politically correct today?

[wonders]

the 'sniper' is going to prove that threat to be a reality... just watch...

Bingo.

God help us.

At first, I was furious at the school officials for leaking this (defending themselves from criticism about closing of the schools -- no backbone on their part!) -- well, I am still furious at them! And furious at the media for harping and harping on it, too. Then I was furious at Moose for caving and giving that out, after all.

Now, I wonder if the latest "communication" wasn't a repeat of that threat, something like, "And the next one will a kid." So Moose felt he HAD to warn parents. Who knows?
