Free Republic

As Forrest Gump said: "Stupid is as stupid does." The man is stupid, like Johhny Taliban. Anybody who hates American or British or Western society and prefers the Muslim society and governements by dictators is essentially stupid. Maybe the brain is okay but the discernment of any degree of freedom and righteousness is missing. Giving these men civil trials is just more pc. They should be sent to Gitmo with their buddies.

One has to remember that the British have an ultra-liberal government in power under Blair. The Tories have never regained control and they were conservative the last time under Maggie, a contemporary to Reagan. God forbid, but they need to get the Parliament or London Tower or Bukingham Palace attacked to get them feeling like we do about the WTC attack. The last major blow like that was when the Arabs tried to blow up a building where Mrs. Thatcher was going to meet. And a longer time back to the IRA attacks. I have seen some programs in the past of IRA prisoners. When you have dangerous men, you don't put them up at the Ritz. I have no sympathy for how these Taliban prisoners are being kept. We don't torture them. These are treacherous people. So are the Afgans. See how they screw us and let their recent enemies buy their way out or just disappear. You are never going to satisfy the bleeding heart liberals here or in Britain. At least here, most of them except the extreme left, about 10% are too afraid to sound off because real patriots might go after them. Our guys at Gitmo who have to watch over these nasty people need protection and the cell approach is one way to isolate the enemy without an expensive prison. Let the liberal hearts bleed. Those terrorists don't deserve any sympathy from us. They were part of the group who slew about 4000 decent Americans who prior to that event were innocent of any desire to kill anybody, as we all were. Now it's payback time.

That flight attendant is a true heroine. Why have we not heard her name and some public praise from her employer or officials as we did for the "Let's roll" men. Maybe she doesn't want to be publicized for fear of reprisal. Anyway, kudos to her and the passengers who aided her. TIGERCLAW

GEE WHIZ ARKLE. WHERE IS THE CAPS LOCK BUTTON ON MY COMMODORE 64 ? Ever hear of EMPHASIS?

Don't have time to look back into old reports as I scan perhaps a hundred a day. Rummy mentioned the existance of Chechnian and Chinese forces in the mix around Konduz. The other articles stated that the Chinese troops were Muslims from the western muslim area of China. They were probably there as free lance Taliban supporters rather than a deliberate Chinese Red action against the USA. But the Reds are totally against us, seeing us as the future enemy. We ought to boycott Chinese goods, especially at Christmas. It is unrealistic to see the Chinese cooperating with us in anti-terrorism. Has the downed spy plane already been forgotten. They are the future enemy. They are about as trustworthy as the Russians long range or the Saudis. The best to expect is short term joint interests. For Chinese/Russian capabilities and goals, turn to www.cheniere.org and read the comments by a bona-fide physics expert on their enmity and superior Electromagnetic weapons. Especially Quantum force weapons. Tom Beardon is a patriot and an expert as you will discover in his correspondence pages. Check out that site for a rude awakening from a weapons expert and a physics genius and see how our scientists in their arrogance have fallen behind the Reds in using 75 year old Tesla discoveries. Also check the Brojon site for more info by a smart man on similar subjects. Not as good as Beardon but pretty keen insight.

NOW GET READY FOR ALL THE ANTI-DEBKA EXPERTS. RUMMY CONFIRMS CHINESE HAD TROOPS SUPPORTING THE TALIBAN AS DEBKA CITED. I THINK THEIR ARTICLES HAVE PROVEN TO BE REASONABLY ACCURATE. ON ISRAEL THEY ARE ON TARGET. PAKISTANI PLANES DID FLY IN AND PULL THEIR MEN FROM KONDUZ AS DEBKA CITED. IT IS AN EMBARRASSEMENT TO THE USA WHICH WE COVER UP BUT MANY OTHERS HAVE CONFIRMED. MAYBE THEY UPGRADED THEIR COMMODORES TO A GATEWAY 1000 MGZ. WISH OUR CIA HAD AS GOOD A RECORD. MAYBE THE CIA AND FBI WHO FAILED US MISERABLY BEFORE 9/11 SHOULD UPGRADE THEIR 286 COMPUTORS. BE FAIR FOLKS. INTELLIGENCE IS DATA AND LEAKS RECEIVED, SOME GOOD AND SOME BAD. DON'T EXPECT 100% ACCURACY. 50% IS GOOD AND 10% IN THE RIGHT AREA, WHICH PREVENTS DISASTER IS ALSO GOOD. I WONDER WHERE ALL THESE DETRACTERS AND SELF PROCLAIMED INTELLIGENCE EXPERTS GOT THEIR INTELLIGENCE TRAINING? AND HOW MANY OF THE BLOOD-THIRSTY COUCH-BOUND WARRIORS WE SEE ON FREE REPUBLIC, EVER SERVED A LICK IN THE ARMED FORCES. IF YOU CITE YOUR OPINIONS MAYBE YOU OUGHT TO CITE YOUR BACKGROUND AND WHAT MAKES YOU AN EXPERT. I AND MY GENERATION SERVED IN WW2. WE HAVE THE EXPERIENCE AND SCARS TO GIVE US SOME LEGITIMACY. 30% OF MY COLLEGE CLASSMATES DIED IN WW2. WE SURE HAVE A LOT OF ARMCHAIR QUARTERBACKS AMONG FREEPERS. GENERALLY I FIND MOST OF THE COMMENTS QUITE REFRESHING AND INTELLIGENT. THEN THERE ARE THE OTHERS. IT MUST BE WONDERFUL TO BE SO SMART AND RIGHT ON EVERYTHING.

WELLL! THATS THE LAST TIME I EAT FRENCH ONION SOUP. AND FROM NOW ON ITS AMERICAN FRIES. THEY HELP US OUT ONCE IN THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION AND WE HAVE TO SAVE THEIR BUTT AND KISS IT FOR THE LAST 200 YEARS. I ONCE COMPLAINED TO A GERMAN SALES AGENT, WHEN WE MET WITH HIS FRENCH AGENT THAT THE FRENCH DIDN'T SEEM TO LIKE WE AMERICANS. HE SAID: "JOIN THE CLUB, THEY DON'T LIKE ANYBODY."

SHAIM, SHAIM, SHAIM ON YOU, ISRAEL! THEY TAKE A BEATING FOR THE LAST 20 YEARS AND WHEN THEY FINALLY WISE UP, THE PRESS, THE PALLY LOVERS, AND THE FOREIGN GOVERNMENTS GET ALL OVER THEM. WHEN YOU READ THE BBC AND GUARDIAN ARTICLES, YOU WONDER WHETHER THE UK IS ON OUR SIDE! YOU WOULD THINK THE FOOT AND MOUTH CRISIS WOULD HAVE AWAKENED THEM. BUT THEY WON'T ESCAPE THIS TERRORIST TRIAL FOREVER. THEN MAYBE THEY WILL WAKE UP.

23 arrests? Doesn't even scratch the surface. You would have to arrest nearly the whole government and especially the army and intelligence services.They put the Taliban in existance and supported them until Uncle Sam got in the act.

TO YESSIR IMAFAT! BOO, HOO, YOU GOT ME CRYING FOR YOU!
