Immediate post-war aid needs to include emergency airdrops from Gillette and Schick, no doubt about it.

"These people siding with Saddam, cause me as much concern as those who carry out the evil deeds, some of them are elected officials."

Does the name Tom Daschle ring a bell???

Actually nice ring but would be third on list, former chief "PERVERTS" come to mind.

With access to security intelligence and weekly visits to the mrs. would be interesting to see them under interrogration.

Little Tommy is following the script, the ones writing it should be first in line.

Here in the valley (home to the second largest population of Iraqis in the states), the Iraquis seem to absolutely hate and despise Saddam. The showed some Iraqis applauding president Bush's speech and indicated that this was what they had been waiting for.

Like other American Muslims, most of those Iraqis probably came here to get away from the radicals in the region. Nevertheless, there are those here who will still condemn them if they haven't renounced their faith, and some who will go so far as to do so simply because they are "dirty sandmaggots" or some such thing.

Seriously though, how long can someone be held legally without being charged?

Foreign nationals deemed enemy combatants can be held indefinitely. There are 600 or more in Gitmo.

Actually I feel the Americans from the renta mobbers in the streets to the Da$$hole, who side with Saddam and his killer thugs, are more dangerous to America than he is.

They are here, and he and his thugs are over there.

In January, government officials reported a sweeping FBI probe that includes questioning of 50,000 Iraqis living in the U.S.

January!!! But I've been told to think that we should have gone in last fall to Iraqi and that the last six months have been a waste of time. Even Rush Limbaugh told me to think that.

Hmmmmmmmmmm!

I'll post the following, take it as you see fit.

AFOSI DETACHMENT 201 ALERT NOTICE 03-02
7 Mar 2003

CAVEATS: None. Pls ensure widest dissemination.
INFORMATION: At or around 1130 am on 6 Mar 03, two military members from the 203d Red Horse Flight (VA ANG, Virginia Beach, VA), were at a restaurant in Virginia Beach when they were approached by two individuals of Middle Eastern descent. These individuals proceeded to question them as to where they could get uniforms, weapons, what base were they assigned to and where they deploying. Both members refused to answer their questions. One the individuals got very defensive when the military members refused answer their questions. The military members departed the restaurant, but not before obtaining good descriptions of each one of them as well as the make/model of their car and tag number. The military members returned to the unit and reported the incident. The local police department and the FBI were notified. Both individuals were captured.

One individual was wanted in NY for weapons issues and both where in this country illegally. One of them was also known to very violent.

SUGGESTION: This incident highlights the importance of reporting suspicious behavior. AFOSI would rather investigation one thousand unfounded reports that miss the one that results in the successful arrest as depicted above. It is everyone's duty and responsibility to stay alert to their surrounding and report suspicious behavior with as many details as possible. Thanks for your help.

POC FOR QUESTIONS/FEEDBACK: Special Agent XXXXX XXXXXX, X-XXXX.

We must let these hostile anti American Senators and congressits know that this is not the 1960/70's.

Innocent Americans on our soil were killed and injured on 9/11/2000. There is zero tolerance when they side with the enemy, the funders of terrorism and leaders of terrrorism.

The roundups - part of a government plan called "Operation Liberty Shield" - will even include Iraqis who have been in the U.S. for years, a law enforcement source said.

Good, they could do the most damage because they've been here long enough to provide the info the new guys need to do the terrorist acts!

For the ones who've been here a while, if they're not yet citizens, they could probably be charged with consipracy to commit terrorist acts. For those here on student visas, etc, they could be picked up on suspicion of illegal entry and held until the paperwork is cleared up.

Either way, it works for me! It will keep them off the streets and out of mischief for a while.

Rush is becoming a lot like Daschle.....playing to a certain level of stupidity amongst his supporters.

Planning and executing a war takes TIME. Hospitals, food supplies, potable water supplies, a minimum level of housing, heavy equipment for landmoving, etc.

Too bad Rush doesn't have a resident military expert on his staff. A little less imput from the likes of Mark Levin and little more imput from people who have been there and done that!

The fact that these "leaders" of the Democratic party are allowed to spew their traitorous venom is just one more testimony to the fact that we are in an era where there is no justice. No legal justice. At any other time in our history, these traitors would have been called exactly what they are by the majority of people in this country's leadership (true leadership). Our nation is in great peril - from the Marxist traitors who now populate all the major media, the entertainment media, and academia who are aligned with the SOCIALIST Iraq regime and the Islamic and other terrorists across the world. THIS is the real battle.

What needs to be understood is those in America who are on the side of the terrorists ARE TERRORISTS THEMSELVES AND USED TERORRISM AGAINST AMERICAN CITIZENS DURING THE 1992-2000 Clinton terrorist era. These people are deadly killers and will kill again. And there is no doubt they are working ACTIVELY with the Iraqi and other terrorists across the world to destroy (specifically President Bush) but as much of our nation as they can get away with in order to take power over what is left of it.

They have never stopped this WAR against America and they will not stop now. To think they will stop is the highest possible folly.

Pray that people inside the Bush administration totally understand the dangers coming from the Clinton Criminal Communist Party and their allies.

Many more Americans will die because of these American traitors unless EVERYONE in officialdom who has any power to counter these traitors faces that fact.

You and I are in total agreement. What is important is how many newcomers are agreeing with us. About 70% of Americans are so tired of the same old anti American and anti President Bush mantras from the dark side.

Let the Da$$holes, the LIEbermans, the Hildebea$ts, the Ketchup Kerry and other spout their words of hate. We will use their own words to lower them even lower in the eyes of the good Americans!
