4. Maybe this is the last card
in their whole house of cards before it all comes tumbling down ... I hope this is exposed to be that steaming pile you allude to and that the American people - as a group - get equally steaming mad about it.

2. Makes you a wannabe.
These guys were probably dangerous only to themselves.

6. It proves you are really stupid, a mentally ill guy in El Paso made a
threatening call to the pResident from a pay phone 4 blocks from his house, they had him in hand cuffs before he got home..

3. It is kind of like a murder case where the suspects all think
bad thoughts - all "wish" the victim was dead but never acted on that wish.

Wishing something, fantasizing something certainly doesn't make it happen.

5. It says that either you have a perverted sense of humor or that
you are as dumb as a rock.

8. I'll call in sick to work so I don't get blowed up?

pretty soon, I'm telling you, they'll be announcing thwarting of individual terrorist threats. 'Mr MadJohnShaft of Evanston, IL saved by DHS'

9. Depends
If we're sitting around drinking a beer talking about archetecturally horrific buildings, I don't think it makes you a terrorist.

Training in a warehouse while trying to recruit local youths into your group, posting guards, talking to neighbors how you've given your life to Allah. Well it might make you a terrorist, but it also makes you a really really dumb one.

My 2 cents? These guys were muslim american, but I bet their anger and hatred to our country stems more from the fact that they're black than their being muslim.

Oh and btw, a muslim doesn't commit terrorist acts, just like Christians don't bomb abortion clinics. They might claim they are something, but if they're commiting or planning violent acts, then they're not either.

Edited on Fri Jun-23-06 07:53 AM by RangerSmith
and being honest here, you got to check it out cause if they did pull something off the opposition would point to the fact you knew they were running their mouths as the ultimate proof that you let it happen.

I don't care who is in office, we do have some folks who want to kill people and they need to be dealt with.

15. Didn't Ann Coulter want the NY Times Building blown up?
She said she wished Tim McVeigh had blown up that building instead of the one in Oklahoma City. And what was it that John Bolton said about the U.N.? "If lost 10 stories,” Bolton once quipped, “it wouldn't make a bit of difference."
