Philadelphia TSA screeners forced the developmentally delayed, four-year-old son of a Camden, PA police officer to remove his leg-braces and wobble through a checkpoint, despite the fact that their procedure calls for such a case to be handled through a swabbing in a private room. When the police officer complained, the supervising TSA screener turned around and walked away. Then a Philadelphia police officer asked what was wrong and “suggested he calm down and enjoy his vacation.”

Sorry, terrorists are not all Muslim or even from the middle east. Thank god all Muslim’s aren’t terrorists, there are over a BILLION of them. Imagine us facing one BILLION terrorists…not 12, or 100, but 1,000,000,000. We’d all be dead. That’s 3 terrorists for EACH AND EVERY American. LOL.
That is just the most recent and news-blurb worthy 24/7 news cycle fun. So blond haired Christians who murder and use terror to make political points (KKK, Timothy McVeigh, etc) are not terrorists? There are Asian terrorists, Indian/Hindu terrorists, more blond haired blue eyed eco-terrorists (re: UW Ag building burned down). How about Ireland (IRA) and Spain (Basque separatists)? How about Japan (remember subway gas attack?)
Terrorists are terrorists. Some do come from the middle east. It’s a poor area full of political unrest, go figure. Some come from Oklahoma. Some come from Britain. Some come from Ireland. Some come from Alabama. Some come from Japan. We could nuke the entire middle east and Alabama and Oklahoma, and there will still be terrorists. Stupid, crazy and violent will always be a small % of the human population.

Kissing Musharaff’s various and sundries goes way back with the Republicans. Musharaff was involved in shipping arms to Osama back when Osama was our boy in The ‘Stan*. Musharaff siphoned off a pretty good chunk of the arms we were sending for is own purposes.
And, hell, maybe that seemed like (or was) the right thing to do at the time. But it’s amazing how often doing what seemed like the right thing at the time can turn around and bite you in the ass.

# 11: Yep, it’s usually the #2 Taliban/Al Quida commander who is reported to have been killed. I’m guessing the “# 1 Taliban Military Commander” is probably the “# 2 Overall Taliban Commander”.
I’d love to be a scriptwriter for SNL or some sort of skit show, and prepare a skit which goes like this:
Taliban Commander: “Abdullah, please come into my tent! Sit down, have some tea!”
Abdulla (uneasily): “Gee, this is awfully nice of you. I’ve only been a member of the Taliban for six months now, and you’ve invited me into your tent!”
Commander: “Don’t think we haven’t noticed you, Abdullah! You are a very smart recruit! We even noticed you actually reading the Koran! And you don’t look around when you pray!”
Abdullah (blushing): “That’s so kind of you, Commander! I want to try to be the very best terrorist I can be!”
Commander: “Of course you do. That’s why we are going to promomote you!”
Abdullah: “A promotion? After only six months! I’m so honored, Supreme Commander!”
Commander: “Think nothing of it. From now own, you will be my second in command!”
(A moment of silence)
Abdullah (uneasily): “Did you say… second… in command?”
Commander: “Yes! You will be my right-hand man!”
Abdullah: “Couldn’t I just be the third in command, and eventually work my way up in the job?”
Commander (losing patience): “No! The decision is made! You will be second in command!”
Abdullah: “May I ask what happened to the last second in command?”
Commander: He became a martyr when he was targeted by a rocket from U.S. imperialist drones!”
Abdullah: “The way I hear it, every second in command becomes a martyr within three weeks after being promoted!”
Commander: “It’s a great honor to be martyred!”
Abdullah: “Couldn’t I continue to just be the guy who cleans the latrines?”
Anyway, you get the point.

Looks like Fox News, Dick Cheney, and George W. Bush all colluded with a Iranian spy:
From tomorrow’s NYT:
General Odierno was unusually blunt in publicly expressing concerns about the actions of the two Iraqis: Ahmed Chalabi, who was a confidant of Bush administration officials in the prelude to the 2003 invasion but now is perceived as having supplied false intelligence to the United States; and Ali Faisal al-Lami, suspected of involvement in murderous activities of Shiite militants, including a bombing in Baghdad, accusations that he denies.
“The two Iraqi politicians “clearly are influenced by Iran,” General Odierno said. “We have direct intelligence that tells us that.” He said the two men had several meetings in Iran, including sessions with an Iranian who is on the United States terrorist watch list.”
Can you say Fox commentator Ahmed Chalabi?
Republicans, the dupes of the Iranians.

@Alki/#2 you really have no clue what is happening in the world of terrorism. The only people that are targeting ALL Americans are Muslim. And yes, since we do not allow very many Muslims from the Middle East into the country any more, they have been forced into trying to recruit terrorists from other places that do not have a Middle Eastern passport, but THEY ARE STILL ALL MUSLIM.
Tim McVeigh was not attacking all Americans, he was attacking the FBI. Major Hassan at Ft. Hood was attacking all Americans. Richard Reed and Abdulmutallab, the attempted but failed airliner bombers were both Muslim and targeted all Americans.
When was the last time that the KKK committed a terrorist act, much less all Americans. There hasn’t been a KKK lynching in like 50 years. It is pointless to even bring them up. The same goes for the IRA in Ireland, as well as all of the other groups that are not targeting EVERYONE that is NOT MUSLIM.
The Basks in Spain are not targeting either the US or the world wide population, they are a separatist group attempting to break away from Spain.
When the KKK, the Bask separatists and the IRA start bombing US airliners or crashing them into US cities or go on shooting sprees within US populations, then, bring them back into the conversation.
