========= Jerusalem, Israel =========
In Jerusalem, Israel, Moslems and Christians are allowed to worship freely.
Here at the Haram al-Sharif in front of the Dome of the Rock, Moslems were allowed
to pray, even as Moslems were murdering Israelis at prayer.

========= Hebron =========
In Hebron, at the Tomb of Abraham,
two Palestinian terrorists were grounded
after they brutally murdered innocent Israelis during their Sabbath prayer.
The terrorists, most recently funded and supported
by the Red Cross, UN, EU, and the American Council of Churches,
carried out their evil by murdering at least 12 souls, and wounding at least 15 others.
========= Gaza =========
ZEROES:
In Gaza, after the murders of the praying innocents,
the preying Palestinians cheer, as is their way.
In Gaza, at the bomb-making factory, in response to the latest terror
it was target time by the IDF.
Palestinians quickly salvaged gas and metal for more bombs and terror.
========= Calais, France =========
In Calais, France, near the Channel Tunnel
at the Red Cross-run Sangatte point of illegal immigation to the UK and US,
~100 Iraqi and Afghani refugees at the Calais City Hall.

who are sheltered until they successfullly enter the Channel Tunnel
at night to illegally immigrate.
========= Ghent =========
WHAT PLANET IS HE ON?
In Ghent, Belgium, an actor bizarrely shares an iron cage with a pig
in support of Iraqi terror and serial murder.

ZEROES:
In Montreal, at Concordia University, Canadian Svend Robinson
is poised to again bring violence supporting terror.
========= FR Judicial Watch in the USA =========
ZEROES:
In Los Angeles, US District Judge Robert Takasugi of Los Angeles issued a preliminary
injunction blocking enforcement of the US citizenship requirement for airport guards.
In Washington, US Appellate Judges Clevenger, Friedman and Prost decided to
ignore false statements and fraud at the US Patent Office and instead prevent a US citizen
from ever patenting any instrument capable of looking for alternative energy sources
even as foreign companies (e.g. Mitsubishi) stake out all relevant patents.
THIS JUST IN: "Because of the latest judicial tampering with the US Constitution and statute,
Islamic Terrorists are lining up in uncontrollable laughter
preparing to be airport security screeners, even as the US remains determined
to remain totally dependant upon oil.
Come on, President Bush, bring on some intelligent conservative Judges. PLEASE!!"
========= The Sun =========
The Sun with a planet-sized sunspot.
END OF TRANSMISSION 11/16/02 .......... K
Little Richard?
I would suggest that since there are so many unemployed U.S. citizens with their benefits about to expire, that the U.S. citizens take on the airport screening duties. I'd be willing to support a waiver allowing them to collect some portion of extended unemployment benefits while also being paid for providing this service to our nation.
I believe that non-citizens are unqualified to perform airport screening duties.
Amazin', isn't it? It's as if we (Jews and Christians) are saying to these pigs, "Yes, we agree with you that your religion deserves the utmost respect, but perhaps ours do not." Thanks for the pics and captions, D . . . Even though I don't always comment, I always enjoy 'em! :-)
SO DO I!

Because of this concern, federal agencies are taking a variety of additional steps to ramp up our protection and prevention measures, as well as communicating with state and local law enforcement and the private sector to inform them of our assessment of the latest information. If you'll recall, in early October, there was a release of tapes recorded by bin Laden, as well as Zawahiri, and increased intelligence reporting against our critical infrastructure, transportation systems, and the American people and our friends and allies. That led us to issue several public warnings about the heightened possibility of either a large-scale or several small-scale attacks on the United States at home or against our interests abroad. At that time, we began a coordinated effort among all levels of the government and the private sector to reduce our vulnerability and increase our preparedness levels, based on the new threat information. And that information has not stopped and will be ongoing for the foreseeable future.") (Click here to view entire transcript.) (November 14, 2002)

Iraq can be certain that the old game of cheat-and-retreat, tolerated at other times, will no longer be tolerated.
