Farrakhan just lately paid a visit to Iraq.
As I have posted earlier, Moose speaks in the same pattern and style of the NBP...overly polite as public spokepersons while seething inside.
Moose is a corrupt and corrupted, bad-tempered cop who became a klinton/reno favorite...and is a raging hypocrite just like Bellefonte.
The shooters had the BEST technology for their specific use and help from at least two other people within the MD establishment bureaucracy.
They COULD have gotten away, thanks to Moose, until the very last minute when he was forced to spit out the truth at a time when it was known the shooters would not be listening.
This was a test run. Reconnaissance. And every time Moose gave a press conference, he also clued the shooters in on where the beef was. Moose was the first to mention that the children were safe. In the morning, that was no longer true.
Moose also delivered the chilling message that the children were not safe anywhere at any time.
Law Enforcement HAD to keep putting Moose out there or the perps would have taken off. As long as they thought he was still in charge, they could be as arrogant as they pleased...which got them caught. Had Moose actually BEEN in charge, they would be spending Thanksgiving in Jersey instead of jail. If they hadn't crossed over into DC, which they didn't mean to do, Moose would have stayed in charge
In the end, it was Moose who delivered the message of all messages to the entire country. It is the NBP/NOI/AQ message. There are LOTS of little Ts out there, and a great big one is the trophy. Worth millions.
Lest anyone forget, Saddam tried to have Bush 41 assassinated. Who might you think got these millions this time since it was Farrakhan who went a-calling?

Farrakhan just lately paid a visit to Iraq.

Good point. There's a 10/27/2002 Newsmax article on this. Here's an excerpt:

This past summer, Farrakhan held meetings in Baghdad with Iraqi officials on a "solidarity" trip billed as an effort to avoid a U.S. military campaign against dictator Saddam Hussein, according to press reports. During that Baghdad trip, Farrakhan held talks with Islamic Affairs Minister Abdul Munem Saleh on "ways to confront the American threats against Iraq," Iraqi News Agency reported. Saleh was quoted as urging a worldwide effort by Muslims to "expose the American and Zionist crimes toward the people of Iraq and Palestine." Furthermore, the agency quoted Farrakhan as saying "the Muslim American people are praying to the almighty God to grant victory to Iraq."

By the way, has anyone seen any actual evidence that Muhammad is a member of the Five Percenters? He's known to have been a member of the Nation of Islam, and adopting the last name Muhammad doesn't seem to be a Five Percenter practice. Perhaps he's simply a member of the regular Nation of Islam who has been influenced by the Five Percenters (calling himself God and using some of their linguistic conventions), but he may never have actually joined the splinter group.
